5 Keys to Networking on YourCrate.com

I read this article today and thought it was a perfect intruduction for most people to a networking site such as YourCrate.com. I've slightly tailored it to us. Please take a minute to read thru and follow these steps to make the most out of our great site!

#1 Leave Comments on as Many Profiles as You Can

Leave a Welcome Comment for all New Members daily

-New VIPs sign up every day looking to network
-Personalize your greeting to their name, website, or interests
-Create a simple introduction and ask a question
-Try and make at least 10 new comments a day
-Make a friend request while leaving each comment


#2 Add Your Friends to the Guest List and Become a Featured Member

-Inviting your contacts will indirectly help them learn more about you and give you a venue to promote your skills
-Having a large network of friends gives you instant credibility


#3 Join Groups to find others with similar tastes in music.

-Join 2 to 3 groups of music you are interested in
-Check out profiles of members of that group and add them as friends


#4 Reply to Discussions in the Forum

-Reply to all of the new introductions
-Start your own discussion by introducing yourself
-Share random internet fun with others!


#5 Build a Great Profile Page

-Make it a direct representation of yourself and your interests
-Personalize it, add blog posts, 10+ pictures, and plenty of YouTube videos


*Although there are boundaries to promoting your site directly, there are virtually no limits to promoting your own profile which links to
your site.
