Firstly, What is a Tweetup? It’s been described as: n. A real world meeting between two or more people who know each other through the online Twitter service. So, what does that have to do with 30 Days of Networking? Well, I think now is a good time in the 30 Days of Networking for you to get busy and get networking with some of the people you’ve met on the program and others with whom you want to foster relationships. Today I invite you to organise a Networking Meetup.
Yep, I’m looking for you to take on the role of a leaders and to initiate a get-together with others with whom you want to network. I have been organising events since 1994 so of course, I find it easy … but I realise it may be a stretch for some of you. I’ve provided a few tips to make this easy. Who to invite:
- Invite those that follow you on Twitter
- Invite those that follow you to invite others
- Invite clients/friends/prospects
[Hint: You may want to keep it small to start with… but basically, you can invite whomever you like.] How to organise your Meet Up: I’ve written instructions within the Women in Business Forums, within which you can coordinate the details of your event and hook up with other doing 30 Days of Networking. Remember to set up a user name in order to be able to post in the forums. TODAY’s TASK
