    How many of you guys use Skype to network on a daily basis with other internet entrepreneurs?

    Has it helped you to develop your skills and expand your internet business/marketing?

    I use skype daily to communicate with others and even for new leads/questions for my business. I find it easy to use and a very helpful tool.

    I've been using Skype for the last couple of weeks, and it's really great. I'm in a few marketing group chats, and there are times that the ideas really flow fast. It's a terrific networking tool, IMO.

    What part of Idaho are you from? I spent a lot of time in Sandpoint well rather Hope. All my aunts uncles and other family live there as well. Haven't been that way in 10+ years. But I may be making a trip soon in about 3-6 weeks.

    Are these Marketing group chats open to all, or by invite only? Reason why I ask is I need to get out there and learn learn learn. I want to make money from anywhere in the world. Even $5-600 and I'll be happy. I think that is a good first goal?

    Okay so who here is bold enough to network with me through Skype.

    I've done some reading online for internet business, and marketing - there is so much info though I have no idea how to start, what is a good business model to start, a website, blog, etc.. I am just clueless in this aspect and a chat buddy would be useful to bounce idea's off and tell me what I need to do, how to market it, what to write, when to add ads, or not to, how to grow etc.

    I don't want a handout, I want to do all the work myself, I just need that nudge in the right direction. Someone with lots of online marketing experience and who is successful independent online entrepreneur would be good, but I will take assistance from anyone offering.

    I already work from home in the service business. I go out into the field to provide this service, to peoples houses. However with today's gas prices and other rising costs we are getting squeezed out.

    So I want to make the move to online entrepreneur. I have a lot of off time and can commit a couple hours a day. Like i said I DO NOT WANT A FREE RIDE, just some assistance on what to do and what not to, and some pointer on how to do them and I'll do it.

    Thanks in advance,
    Brandon L.

    Hi guys, looks like Becky isn't afraid to step up the plate, I am very surprised no one else is responding. I would think this is an opportunity to expand and grow your network base. Oh well live and learn right? :p

    Can i know which internet entrepreneurship you meet with?
    Mostly they like to stay secret and stay private.
    Even i chat with them so long in their blog regarding some issues but they still din provide other contact method other than live chat or email only.

    Hi Jerick, you are 110% correct why should you or anyone give away your secrets that you worked so hard to get and learn over the years. You absolutely should not give them away. This is not what I am looking for, no hand outs and no free rides. What I am looking for is guidance from those who can provide it without compromising their work schedule or their trade secrets. Some one who understands how hard it can be for someone new like me to wiggle their way into a new nitch/business with no prior experience.

    I do have some experience to give as well, being in the service business I know a thing or two about customers, and if anyone has a customer based website and is real good with marketing and design but could use a couple insights on how to handle customers we could exchange helpful ideas etc.. See where this is going? I also have some experience in other areas.

    I am just trying to network and make the first step towards making friends in the business.. Thanks...

    Oh yeah, and I haven't met with any internet entrepreneurs, apparently they are a little shy? :p
