I’m going to the #BlogHer Creators Summit this year, for the first time. The event is right around the corner, September 18th & 19th to be specific. I’ve invited a few other fellow bloggers, influencers, podcasters, and socialites from my circle. But, of course, the more the merrier, right? I’d like to build my network and expand my inner circle. If you’re wondering the difference, here it is (by my definition): A “network” is sort of a large group of professional acquaintances and your “inner circle” is full of people you are close with, whether it’s just collaborating professionally or more friendly with on a personal level. With a strong brand and a few marketing tricks, anyone can succeed in mastering the artwork of networking, especially at a huge event like this. For starters, bring your business cards. If you don’t already have them, let’s get started.
