Subscribe to Community-wide general discussion What do you love about Biznik? (in 20 words or less)

Biznik membership is growing steadily at an average of 15 new members per day. But we'd like to see that rate increasing, so we're launching a campaign to get first-time visitors to Biznik.com to sign up. And, because Biznik is all about collaboration, we're going straight to you to come up with content for this campaign.

Here's how it works: Reply to this post telling us what you love about Biznik in 20 words or less. If your quote is selected, it'll appear in rotation in the right column of selected pages throughout the website, and will include your photo, your name, your business name, and a link to your profile. For ideas, you can see the first four quotes we're using already here.

So, what do you love about Biznik?

    In Biznik I've finally found online networking that feels like I am communicating and connecting with real people in my community.

    Or: My membership in biznik is the first time I've enjoyed networking because the people I've met share ideas and ask for them too.

    I've had more "hits" from my Biznik listing in one day than my Google Adwords in one month.

    Ooooo, that's what I'm talkin' about, Howard. Real concise statement about a specific way Biznik works for you. That's a winner.

    Some of the other ones are outstanding as well - please keep 'em coming.

    I saved a bunch of money on my business by switching to Biznik!

    [With jokes aside, its true. Weeks ago, if I was to Google search for "Washington Pages," none of the 1000's of listings would list my website. Just 2 days ago I found myself on the first page of search results! To get the full benefits of Biznik you need to be a supporting member.]

    Above is general... More specific:

    ...In addition, Biznik has given me a chance to 'beta-test' new services with people who have both benefited from them and offered valuable feedback.

    With Biznik, networking is a thrill. Before Biznik, networking was a duty.

    Biznik is the first online business networking that is actually personal. Biznik has brought the best of in-person networking to the online world, and it has expanded and improved on what traditional in-person networking offers.

    Dan, feel free to use any of these or to splice if you need to.

    My biznik (annual) membership has paid for itself hundreds of times over.

    (or you could say: My monthly biznik membership has paid for itself thousands of times over.) Both are true.

    Joining biznik is one of the best decisions I’ve made—clients, friends, opportunities, new ideas, I’ve found them all here in abundance.

    Biznik has replaced the required, stale 7am bagel breakfast with go-as-you-wish, hip, fun, happy hours.

    Biznik is a key ingredient in the continued success of my business.

    I’ve picked up new clients from almost every event I’ve attended.

    The caliber of clients and friends I’ve met through biznik far exceeds my expectations.

    Here's a few:

    It's unabashedly brilliant. Fostering relationships, creative collaboration, and connecting our community.

    Biznik has helped me to connect in meaningful ways with others whose passions runneth over.

    It's one of the reasons I'm still in Seattle!

    Not only does Biznik not suck, it offers a virtual and real community that plays to everyone's strengths.

    A support system for grownup professionals.

    I have a common name and I NEVER showed up on the first page of Google until I joined Biznik. Yeehaw!

    Biznik has made me billions of dollars; provided endless deeply satisfying sexual adventures and allowed me to become one of the most successfully humble people in the known universe. Just ask God.

    More clients, better Google ranking but most importantly a support system of like-minded people to help grow my business.
