      Since starting my business, networking and meeting new people has become a part of life. I have chats with several new people every week. If I could go back in time, I’d tell myself to start doing this as a student and then as a full time worker. It would’ve helped me SO much.

      Just one benefit, in case you aren’t convinced: It has given me this immense financial security blanket, one I don’t even need right now. If I ever need some money, I know many people needing work done in the industry (who now know & trust me) who I can call for a contract.

      Couple tips for newbies at this: - The #1 mistake I see is not being concise when asking to talk/meet up. A long letter is not just hard to read & likely to be skipped over, it's not considerate of someone's time & even a red flag- "Maybe they don't understand healthy boundaries"

      - You can DEFINITELY ping someone after waiting a week or so for a reply. Be concise (again) & polite, like "Just making sure you saw this!" It's even okay to do it several times! I personally appreciate it! Never be offended if you don't get a response, sometimes life gets busy.

      Good question! Ideas for being less awkward at networking: 1. Make it an “informational interview.” Come with questions, work around their schedule, make it clear you’d love to learn from them. They’ll be flattered! 2. Go to events— start up conversations around event’s theme.

      Okay, people keep asking me how to ask strangers to talk with you in a networking context, so I wrote up some examples for you! https://pastebin.com/ePy8vQ5Y pic.twitter.com/FBrlkf0bNm

      These are great. The thing I'd add if I were ghostwriting for someone is a proof of work to demonstrate that the interview would likely be time well-spent, e.g., "I write on [relevant topic]; c.f. [link]) (If you don't have ~3 essays on the Internet, don't let that stop you.)

          (But do make it a priority to fix not having ~3 essays on the Internet if you know you will, at some point in the next few years, be sending cold email with intent of improving your professional situation.)

          Definitely, realized I'd made this assumption after I posted:https://twitter.com/sehurlburt/status/953107242919710720 …

          These assume that this is on Twitter & if they click your Twitter profile they can learn about what you do professionally. If you're e-mailing or if your Twitter has no work stuff on it, make sure to intro yourself briefly and link to a website or place they can learn about you.
