Episode 7 of the Digital Publishing Business Podcast is all about the networking and making friends THE RIGHT WAY. Learn how it's done! Today's episode is a bit different than usual, since we're not discussing Digital Publishing per se. It all started when a good friend asked me (Meron) how I manage to get such amazing figures to interview for my mag. I told David that I think It'll make an interesting subject for an episode - but David thought we should go further: While I thought we should discuss the approach itself - the format, the rationale, David thought we should discuss the traits needed to support such approach. David suggested we talk about it at a bigger perspective - how to make friends with market leaders, how to mingle and network at trade shows and create lasting relationships that are mutually beneficial, that a magazine interview is only one of their results. And that's exactly what we did. So today is a quick talk on the behind-the-scenes of building a digital publishing empire, and making amazing friends along the way. Enjoy! :) Here’s what we covered in 27 minutes: How to build mutually beneficial friendships that lasts How to get noticed and stand out from the crowd How to make a personal and memorable approach How to use Twitter as a good door opener to your prospects How Meron gets interviewees for his magazines How to be a good networker in conferences Resources mentioned ScheduleOnce - allow people to book appointments with you and see your real-time availability in their own time zone http://www.scheduleonce.com/ SendOutCards - send out cards, cookies and gift cards to anyone in the world.
