Where else are you networking for your niche? |
We're working several different angles. We find LinkedIn to be a great resource in more general fields like marketing, making contacts with purchasers for major retailers, etc. For finding people in our niche, there are a few mom oriented networking sites (i.e. mommybuzz.com) where I've done some blogging and promotion of local events. I find parenting a sick child turns many parents into activists, and they are passionate promoters of things they like.
I've even found some valuable contacts via MySpace (gasp). For instance, that is where I connected with the founder of the Rocky Mountain Preemie Foundation. Medical school contacts have been valuable as well, so I try to keep those individuals informed of my non-school ventures via email.
