Subscribe to Introduce your bad indie self Trying to take the "suck" out of networking.

Hello Biznik-ohemians! My name's Jonathan, I am a graphic artist / illustrator / marketer. As much as I love the paycheck and steady work of my day job.... I'm looking to channel some creativity into some extracurricular work. Although I love to meet new people, I've never been a fan of networking (shy). So, online I go, hoping to meet other business people in the Kitsap / Seattle area for inspiration, motivation, and hopefully some leads on some work. Whether you are at a point where you need to establish your entire brand image or get a web page up or just need to update and polish the look of your brochures before you print again, say hello, lets talk about what you need.

    Hi Jonathan and welcome.

    There's networking, and then there's Biznik. For some reason Biznik events are just more friendly and welcoming than any other networking events I have ever attended. It's been a good way for me to improve my networking skills, get over some of that shyness, and venture to other events with more confidence.

    Howard Howell's Biznik workshop on networking was a great help too.

    So don't be a stranger, and see you in an event sometime soon :)

    Hey Jonathan, yes, this is truly networking that doesn't suck. We've been involved with tons of networking events over the past 15 years, and Biznik events are truly special. I would suggest if you really want to get the most out of your membership try the "How to network the Biznik way" which is put on by the founders, Dan and Lara. Invaluable advice!

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