<div class='uawarticle'>Looking for a steady profit is one of the challenges that most videographers face. Having a client who is willing to pay your rate is another thing to consider. If you have experienced attending networking associations, you just have to carry on with that rhythm to continue finding the right people.<br />
<br />
Most of the time, networking doesn't really produce good outcome at first. A lot of these people want to know that you are a legitimate business before they allow you to their network.<br />
<br />
I understand that not everyone becomes successful through networking. A lot of times, those that don't believe that it works are just not correctly doing it. These are the possibilities of that.<br />
<br />
1.) You are possibly attending the wrong networking events.<br />
<br />
The problem here is that you'll never meet the right type of prospect if you aren't in the right place at the right time. Networking at meetings where only small businesses or sales reps who are trying to sell to small businesses are represented is a complete waste of time unless you are trying to sell low level video services or duplication services. Avoid these meetings.<br />
<br />
2.) You incorrectly network at these meetings.<br />
<br />
There are two types of networkers - hunters and farmers. A hunter shows up at a networking event and expects to go for the kill in 60 minutes or less. "Let me see who I can target and score with before I leave the building." Believe it or not, people don't attend networking events to get sold so the people who show up to do these are usually written off and bad things are said about them once they leave the room. Networking is designed to get you more business, but not in the first meeting. You have to develop relationships with people first, then the getting more business thing naturally starts to happen over time.<br />
<br />
In networking, you always want to be a farmer, planting as many seeds as you can at as many networking events as you have time or make time to attend. The key is to make time. You'll never feel like you have time so you need to schedule it as an appointment that can't be missed in order to make it work for you. Meet as many people as you can over time and give them your card and add them to your email list. This does work!<br />
<br />
The other thing to realize is that when you network, you are setting yourself up for success in the future, not today. It's kind of like working out. 50 pushups today won't do anything to the appearance of your arms and chest. But, if you keep doing 50 pushups a day for 3 to 6 months, you will start to look pretty ripped. The same goes for networking or marketing in general. You have to keep at it for longer periods of time in order to see the benefits of your efforts.<br />
