Networking online is all about building relationships and connecting with others. There is so much value in having other business owners in your online circle of friends. Not only does it give you a support group and people to call on, but it also opens up lots of opportunities. The key is to start with a pure heart and good intentions and to let it happen organically.  Just like you need in-person friends to do life with, you need biz buddies to encourage you, to help serve one another's audiences, to be an affiliate for another, to offer another perspective, to help you grow your audience and reach and do the same for them...the list goes on and on.   I also really want you to network outside your industry. Those can be some of the best relationships because they probably do things differently than you and you can really help one another. Another key to remember is to network with people who are where you want to go!  How to Network Well in the Online Space Use your DMs on Instagram. Here are some ways to use DMs to help grow your business. Just start by support others. Comment on their posts, share their content, give encouragement... Pray about it. Ask God to help you make connections and find people to build relationships online. Pay for it! Yep, you heard me. Join groups or courses or masterminds to find like-minded business people to start relationships with.
