Networking the Wrong Way
Published: Sun, 07/10/22
I'm having Scarlett cut my hair today. I know I should go to the salon but I can't be bothered. LOL! I honestly don't care if it looks botched. I just want it way shorter because the heat and humidity at Disney World is brutal, and I don't like wearing a hat on rides because it flies off.
FYI: Tomorrow's email goes out at 9 AM EST and if you need to see what limited PLR is left and see what big, discounted store bundles are available, go here.
Networking the Wrong Way
I am really supportive of people who are trying to make it in this business. When I have a subscriber or friend who approaches me with launch details, I take time (if I have it) to look it over and offer advice. But what I don't like are people who assume that because they once bought something from me, or because they're a subscriber or follower, I will automatically share their site and offers with my list and followers.When you aren't even friends with someone, and you message them telling them you've bought something from them so you now need them to share their website with your followers, that's not okay. I didn't respond to this person so he later (same day) messages me AGAIN saying something like, "I also want you to go to my FB page and leave me a supportive review."
I have NO idea who this person is. I don't know what they sell or teach. It's just awkward and weird. Not the right way to network AT ALL.
So I blocked him. I won't even entertain the approach from that point on. When you want someone's support, EARN it. Begin getting to know them and by the way, my people would not be interested in his "offer" anyway - I'm not the right demographic to network with.
Share access to your offer and ask if the person thinks it might be a good fit. Don't make demands.
Tiff :)
P.S. Prefer a weekly digest?
