Share Yourself
It can be grueling shape-shifting at parties. There may be an ex-lover, a work associate, your life partner, an old high school friend, random strangers crawling on the ground with owl masks on, a really great copywriter you are thinking about hiring, and so on.
You have to be down right Protean to master all of your identities these days, both online and face-to-face.
We make it easy on Biznik, because it is a community that is dedicated to your indie-business-self. Sure, you’ll have to monitor how you tweet a Biznik article to your followers, but we try to make it as easy as possible for you while you are on Biznik with auto generated text and URL shortening.
Try this out, see what kind of results you get:
Log onto Biznik 3 times (or more) a week. Spend 15 minutes (or more) read 1 article, event listing or Biz Talk forum post. If you have a thoughtful and concise reply, then go ahead and post it. If you are simply not feeling like joining the conversation, then use one of the share buttons. Email it to a friend, post it on Twitter or Facebook, or you could use that little green button and share it with another Biznik member. Write a little comment to highlight why you thought to share it.
Doing so lets your community know you are thinking about the things that they are thinking about. You see them. In turn, they see you.

Another great new feature that I need to try. I was just reading a new article by one of my favorite Biznik authors (Ken Peters) and thinking I should make sure that one of my other favorite Biznik authors (Amy Harcourt) knows about him and reads his stuff… I think she probably does, but…
Anyway, thanks again for making life easy for us.

Thank you for the prompting to use this great new feature. I regularly come across items to share in the biz nik community and usually take the time to send an email. Now it is just a click.
I will go check out those new articles now too Dennis. Thanks.

I’m glad you both like the tool. It’s a small but hugely effective. I use it all the time, and think it’s a great way to connect with someone. And certainly, Amy Harcourt is an author who I and a lot of members refer to.

Just attended an event at the Ranier Club last night where I learned a lot about the Biznik community from Lara. I haven’t even created a profile yet, but started exploring and found this article! Exactly what a newbee like me needs – some great tips! Thanks.
