My name is Kim and I am a newbie to the writing/journalism field

Hi Kim, Welcome to Biznik. I think you're going to find a lot of support and good advice here. Here are a few tips to get you going:

1. Have you been curious about a topic related to business, or perhaps wanted feedback related to your specific business --go ahead and post a thread (Community wide general forum is most popular as you can see). You'd be surprised at how good of advice you can get...for free!

2. Attend one of the events...face to face is always the most powerful way to connect with a community. Find one that looks interesting to you. Check the profiles of people who are coming in advance and see which ones you know you want to connect with.

3. Read and/or comment on( or write) an article in the Learn section that looks interesting to you. Add some value to it in the comments, and people will then see the value in you, and increase trust.

Look forward to meeting you at an event at some point. Warmly, Leif
