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?

    Biznik is business redefined – fast, honest and with integrity.

    Thanks to Biznik, you no longer have to be the "efficient and effective" sanitized corporate version of yourself to be successful. I hate that guy.

    Biznik offers me a legitimate networking community...emphasis on the word community. I feel I have this huge support group now, whereas prior to Biznik, I often felt alone in trying to build my business and in facing challenges that are unique to indies like us. I love that everyone here "gets" it and that we all truly want to help one another.

    Feel free to extract whatever 20 words there are most meaningful. I'm apparently terrible at being concise. :O

    Biznik lets my orbit come inside a whole bunch of other people's orbits that I would otherwise never have been able to come close to before. Its full of like-minded people moving in the direction of financial and corporate independance, all passing along their part of the galactic business overmind to one another.

    ...sry, been reading Hunters of Dune, so my comments have a space bent lately.

    I love meeting new people through Biznik, and BizTalk is amazing.

    Each week I connect my clients with one Biznik or another for services or product ~ and I do so with total confidence, as I have really gotten to KNOW and trust them!

    (can’t seem to shorten this one…sorry)

    Biznik is the first place I go for all my product and service needs, as well as business pointers.

    With a basis in real relationship building and generosity ~ Biznik is a unique opportunity for Indies to conduct business as they choose.

    (I really can count....I just don't like too!)

    Biznik is like a little vitamin I feed my business to help it grow up big and strong. It's working!

    People here want you to succeed. We network, learn, and laugh A LOT! Biznik isn't A network, it's THE network!

    Biznik takes care of business! An electric network of inspiring innovators. Plug in! I met collaborators my first week!

    Why only 20 words? Some lengthy testimonials work really well. :)

    It's not just online, it's not just offline- it blends both in an amazing way, without needing to show up at an ugly-morning-hour networking meeting in a stale hotel conference room...

  • Dan McComb
    Posted by Dan McComb, Seattle, Washington | Nov 12, 2007

    The word limit is because they have to fit into the format we're using, which is no more than three lines in the sidebar. 20 words is the absolute max - fewer is better. Thanks everyone for pitching in with this!

    Biznik is the future of networking made real: it's rapidly accelerated business and community building, made possible through technology. There's nothing like this anywhere else.

    It's Malcolm Gladwell's Tipping Point theory, live and in the flesh, and it's astounding to witness its power.

    It's the world's largest downhill rolling snowball, accumulating mass and speed. Look out, world! We're cominagetcha!

    It has allowed me build a personal network in record time. I've always been a master networker and every time I have moved to a new city I have managed to build up a great network, but nothing like this. The amount of valuable Biznik connections I've made in Seattle in a short time has blown away any other network I've ever been a part of. It has had a healthy impact on my bottom line. And the social benefits are icing on an already very yummy cake.

    They found a niche in networking, not sucking.

    Biznik is about growth and learning. It's a vehicle toward building a great business network, and building myself.

    I have saved thousands of dollars using the services of Biznik members at the same time building priceless relationships that will help me grow my Biz.

    The best thing is being able to see who, what business and how many attend a certain event!

This forum is unmoderated, but please keep discussion courteous and not too far off topic.
