I decided to do something a little different for this episode.

It's something a little sneaky 😉

We all know that Networking is an important part of building any business, and yes – that also applies to an online business. So, I decided to give you a very practical example of Networking. How?

Inside This Episode

NetworkInYourNiche

A few weeks ago I posted a question on Facebook. I asked something like: “Are you networking with people in your niche? If so, how's it going for you?”

One of the commenters (Brian Ramdhan) responded by saying that I should do teach how to do so on my blog.

That got me thinking, and I decided to do something a bit sneaky.

I've been wanting to do some serious networking for my biology blog. If I'm going to be leaving my job at the end of June, I really have to step up my game.

So I connected with Ryan Gray from Medical School HQ and asked him if he'd be up to having a convo and recording it for my podcast. He said yes. But then here's what I did . . .

We got on Skype and just started chatting. Of course, I hit record and he didn't know it. What followed was a genuine convo between two bloggers in complimentary niches. Some people like to call it – Networking. It doesn't get anymore practical than that.

At the beginning of the episode, I share some of my best networking tips and then jump over to the call.

This episode is a bit different, but I decided that different can be good. I guess you'll be the judge of that.

Let me know in the comments if you got value from this one.
