It was a great conversation and I thought it would be a good idea to do some visible networking with Aaron to get to know him better. I can be found on LinkedIn , have a blog Holocognics and my firm’s website is www.SolutionsLLP.com. I am planning right not to write a post about how startups often get SEO wrong. That's great.

And it applies to business relationships & networking as much as it does to remuneration in the workplace. But less as a complaint and more as advice to younger networkers, the more you invest in relationships the more you will get when you need. It’s why I wrote the blog post on 50 Coffee Meetings. Lots of asking.

I have to admit when I first walked through the doors of the Los Angeles Convention Center to attend Blog World I asked myself why I was wasting my time. Yet “another networking event”.

I can attest from experience that publishing a regular blog to properly showcase your brand value, even before you have it, is a most cost effective approach in time and money. For blogging to work, you need to do it consistently and frequently, at least once a week, or the value evaporates. Find potential partners. Populate your team.

All applications crash and this is especially true in the nascent mobile world where dealing with device types, OS’s & networks adds one hell of a configuration management problem.
