Hi Curt,

Great question.

There are a number of ways to put this into practice. I know it sounds counterintuitive but the first advice I&#039;d give you is to not add too many friends. A lot of gurus these days are advocating &quot;building a list.&quot; I think that&#039;s OK for direct marketing but it&#039;s a terrible idea for network marketing. You should only build a list if you&#039;re not going to let your list get too large. You want to build relationships with folks and you can&#039;t do that with thousands of people at once. I say more about toward the bottom of &lt;a href=&quot;http://stevedevane.com/social-network-marketing-get-to-know-those-who-need-to-know-you/&quot;&gt;another post&lt;/a&gt;.

I also provide some more practical tips in &lt;a href=&quot;http://stevedevane.com/social-network-marketing-with-friends-like-this-who-needs-prospects/&quot;&gt;this post&lt;/a&gt;.

I hope that&#039;s the kind of info you need. If not, let me know and I&#039;ll have another go at it.

Thanks for question and the comment.

		<description>Very well put. Do you have any tips in our day to day operations that would help us to build this community?  By day to day actions I mean. Do you have any pointers as to things we should do daily to build this community, ie. add friends, post articles, engage in conversations, etc.</description>
