  Welcome To The Editorial Calendar. 

  We created this site to assist in collecting responses from queries put out to the networking public through HARO, LinkedIn, & Twitter.   All additions are posted publicly and unedited after moderator approval (moderation is necessary due to comment spam). They will stay as part of the public conversation on the various topics unless they are not relevant, obnoxious or WAY too promotional. Please check out all the topics coming in the future.  You may comment on any topic you like, but the associated article may not be scheduled for a few months.

  Faith-Based Networking 

  We are working on an article for publication in the fall. Your relevant contributions will be included

  Have you started a Business Networking organization centering on a common faith?  This could be a “Chamber of Commerce”, referral group or a monthy breakfast/lunch focusing on business.  This article will focus primarily on Local “Face-to-Face” Business Networking, but are interested in your online Business Networking experiences as well.  If you can touch on a few of the issues we are curious about, we would be very appreciative.

  For Group Organizers:

  • What made you decided to do this?
  • Has it been beneficial?
  • What advice would you give others who want to do the same in their area?
  • Are there many members outside the faith?

  For Members:

  • Why did you join?
  • Do you find the culture different there than in the general networking world?
  • Has it been effective for you?

  Thank you!

  MLM – Seems People Either Hate Them Or Are Them 

  News reports say that the tough economy is swelling the ranks of part-timers in various MLM organizations.  Odds are they will be attending networking events.
   My partner & I have noticed that a segment of the networking public takes issue with those in the direct selling industry, commonly known as MLM (Multi-level Marketing). We occasionally get negative comments about their presence at events and we have noticed that some networking organizations ban them outright. See Example

  What’s the deal? MLM is a legitimate business model. Why do some groups ban them and why do some people complain about their presence?

  Does the industry as a whole suffer from a bad PR rap? Are the business practices of a few hurting the reputation of them all?

  Networking leaders…
  Q. Do you allow Multi-level marketers, if not, why?

  Networkers…
  Q. What has been your experience encountering those in MLM? Any pre-conceived notions about MLM?
  Q. Have you ever gone to a networking event or workshop and found it to be a presentation on a MLM business opportunity?
   
  MLM Distributors We want to heard by you as well
  Q. What has been your networking experience?  How successful has your networking been? Do you ever experience discrimination/prejudice because of your business model?

  All respondents who wish to comment in print will be published online. From there some will make the article in a national newsletter.

  Restaurants hosting networking groups to avoid hard times 

  
  Restaurant Owners – Has slower business caused you to think of creative ways to increase traffic such as hosting networking events & other meetings? We would like to talk to restaurant owners about the impact hosting and catering to networking groups/meetings has had on their business.

  How do you market the space? Do you make special offers..what about menu items & server pracitces? Is it worth opening up to host breakfast groups?
