The importance of networking and finding internet angels

When I started trying to earn money online, I viewed myself as one person out of millions sitting alone on my computer at odd hours of the day or night researching, writing, and promoting my various projects. While this is true in a sense, it is not quite accurate. While I am sitting alone at my desk, there is an actual community of other people out in cyberspace just waiting to network with me, share ideas, and provide advice if needed. These internet angels show up in unexpected places and provide unexpected opportunities.


Last winter, I volunteered to help out a friend who was starting her online business by writing articles and advertisements, and helping to post these on various places on the net. I found myself in forums, article-writing websites, and blogs. Sometimes I was the giver of advice and sometimes I was the taker. People wrote commenting on things I had written and invited me to post on their websites. I invited total strangers that I will never see in person to attend webinars and download free materials.


Through it all, I have learned that there are actually human beings that like me are searching out information and really trying to make a difference in the world and also in their own family lives. It's not just about the bottom line of what I want to accomplish but the greater good for us all. I can take one minute to post a link for a friend and a total stranger can find me and send an email and say your top ten things to do after being rejected,,,, again article made me laugh.


So, no matter how stressed your own internet thermometer may be about earning money online, or if you have ten internet or business goals you've got to get accomplished before the first of the month, take a minute to remember that your not alone in your struggles. There are millions out there just like you and many are willing to help out by offering advice, or provide helpful information to become your own personal internet angels. Find places to ask your questions, give advice that will help someone else, and the rewards will come back to you tenfold. It really works!
