I have repeatedly seen posts about the way to succeed in this business is by networking...via the boards and other methods. Please educate me and make a list of all of the ways that networking is going to help anyone succeed in this business.

People like to do business with people they know, plain and simple.

i had a million dollers, but i spent it all

It depends on what you do and what you want to do. Some parts of the industry need to network more than others.

If you are a host, or selling content, or a designer, or running a paysite with affiliates, networking can be important.

I don't like 99 plus percent of people. I had a successful business and I know several others that have successful businesses that do not go to the conventions and do not post to the boards if that is what "networking" is about.

Connected to what, or to whom, and for what reasons?

I know tons of people that don't go to conferences because they are afraid of getting into pictures and then that ruining their chances at running for president one day. LOL!

Some people in this biz are too funny!

DH

P.S. I don't think I would be making 10% of what I am making now if it weren't for all the great people I have met at conferences. No shit!

Many guys are low key and like it that way. I go to one show a year, and sometimes private industry parties and get togethers during the year.

After you've been in this business for a long time you don't need to network extensively because most people you already know and do business with. It's really a small number of people under 500 or so that run things. So networking becomes pretty much just a "Hey how are you, you're looking good, how's biz," chat scene and then just hanging out.
