I have to agree with you on this..networking has to be based on content..not only on your vote begging strategies..but most important is on the content.

Your absolutely right. I have a day of today, but the only thing I’ve been doing today is reading Sphinn and browsing forums.

I’d better get working! :)

Look forward to your ‘building your network’ post. I’ve cut a lot of time wasting out of my schedule these last few months and things are going better than ever.

Yeah I must agree with you on this one, and I’m guilty for it too. I find, that whilst I love blogging, I tend to spend so much time networking too, it’s so easy to lose track of time when you’re trying to keep up with networking on Digg AND StumbleUpon AND twitter AND Technorati AND….you get the idea.

Networking is important, but what’s the point in networking if it’s going to be to the detriment to your content. In other words, if you can knock quality content out tenfold, then sure, feel free to do as much networking as you want, but if you are knocking out 2nd quality writing due to the amount of time your networking, then it’s time to rethink your strategies.

I wrote a similar article earlier this year. I found that experimenting with social marketing was taking WAY too much of time and I wasn’t spending any time doing the things that make me more money. I think balance is the key, too much of anything can be bad.

Nice post.

“doing the ping-tango” LMAO! I agree it’s easy to waste huge chunks of time achieving very little. IM is a big time sucker, so is my RSS reader, do I really need to know exactly what is going on as it happens?
