Find Related Communities and Start Networking
"Join communities where the right audience for your business exists. It could be a Facebook group, a single event or recurring networking group. Either way, get yourself out there and you'll in turn get your brand out there. Ask what you can do to help those you connect with and they'll want to give back to you, too."

Give, Give, Give
"Often, we think in terms of "Get" -- what can I get out of this person or interaction? But if you approach it from "Give" -- what can I give or offer that's helpful or novel -- then you make a stronger impression. Always approach from give first, and the get will come."

Decide Who the Right 10 People Are
"It is much better to talk in-depth with 10 very useful people than it is to scatter-gun emails out to 1,000 people that potentially may be interesting. Fully engaging these 10 people will also do much more for your network and brand. Work out the 10 key people you want to speak to and tailor your approach specifically to appeal to them."
