2. Choose to belong to the most popular networking sites rather than the smaller ones.
3. Connect people and build relationships, not limiting yourself to one location .
4. Start out slowly and learn how to function within the networking society that you belong to.
   
5. Observe how the more successful networkers function and learn from them
6. Observe how the lesser successful networkers function and learn from them.
7. Use an image of yourself in your profile as you would like the world to perceive you.
8. Join groups related to your purpose.
9. Be polite, politically correct, and in good taste.
10. Update often.
11. Respond to messages and requests.
12. When you post in your blog, be sure to let your networking friends know about it.
13. Don't be too obvious when you are promoting something that involves money.
