Getting Yourself and Your Business Listed and "LInked In"
If you're trying to expand your customer base, there are a couple of websites that you should know about. The Buy Illinois Network was established to promote business to business sales and training within Illinois. I checked it out and was able to get my own business listed pretty easily.
I also joined LinkedIn recently. It's a social networking site for professionals. I signed up, and the system was able to upload my contacts and automatically send a message to each of them who was already signed up on the site. I instantly had a network of twenty or thirty people. You can then use their networks to make new contacts. You can also post a pretty extensive description of yourself, your career, and your business on the site. Some of the people in my network have some really good connections to people with whom I hope to work in the future.

Good ideas. We often forget that networking is crucial for success in our businesses. This is a good reminder.
