Here are a few ideas: -

• Make sure your profile is really full of information about you and your business.
• Make sure you have a Profile Image - studies show that profiles without an image are ignored at a rate of 3 to 1
• Upload photos of yourself, your family, your company, whatever - make yourself approachable. If you're shy about putting up a photo of yourself, you could upload your logo or a funny photo.
• Browse the members and invite a few people into your network.
• Invite some of your friends to join longislandbiz2biz, then you can add them to your network.
• Introduce yourself in the Forums.
• Join a few custom networking groups.
• Visit the site often and exchange hello's in the Chat Box.
• Come to our Speed Networking Events.
