In my post yesterday I lamented about all the time involved in networking and, in particular, social media. I concluded noting the importance of networking outside your particular industry. I wanted to explore that a bit more.

To use myself as an example, over the past couple of years I’ve been working on building up my profile within the SEO community. I’d say I’ve done a fair job of that and have been able to build some pretty strong friendships with other SEOs and internet marketers.

Warning: This post contains nothing of substance and is primarily just a rambling of my thoughts regarding social marketing. You won’t learn anything here, but you may find someone of similar mind. If so, comments are always appreciated! And if nothing else, this post has a image!

It will come as no surprise to anybody who knows me; I’m not a social butterfly. Put me in a room with 20 other people I don’t know, and I’m the guy sitting back watching everybody interact.

In fact, if I’m not talking business, I really don’t have much to say… aside from cracking a few jokes at someone else’s expense (a skill that I have honed to near perfection.)
