I am certainly not what most people would can an introvert - but I FEEL like an introvert and I get nervous at networking events! Here's my little mind-trick/mental exercise: I always remember that everyone else is intimidated by networking. Instead of focusing on my own nervousness, I try to make others feel more comfortable - this means chatting up the wall flower or the person who just walked-in, looking lost and miserable. If I am in a group of people, I will wave-over a person who is wandering by themselves. I imagine that I am a party hostess who needs to make people feel welcome. That's how I psych myself into being an extrovert when I'm secretly feeling very anxious! Couldn’t agree more with your post.

As a leader in a networking group and a social media expert your post really syncs both. Social media is a great way to engage in a conversation and follow-up after an initial meeting.

Great information and summed up really well. It's like everything I learned and read over the years rolled into one simple article! It is so true about the extroverted types. I feel that I'm personally an introvert, but a lot of people believe me to be an extrovert. And yes, I still feel as daunted as I was years ago. #3 is sweeeet! I refer to them as trademarks for pieces that stand out. It always helps to look well dressed and stylish. Its an easy opening piece for someone to talk to you about. Some more in depth information that correlates with this would be works of either Dale Carnegie or Napoleon Hill. It has proved to be a wonderful resource for myself. Hopefully others will enjoy and find it as useful as I did. Love, Love, Love this article. Great information and summed up really well.

Giving is an age-old principal, but we lose sight of it sometimes.

This is true IRL and online. Some of the most successful blogs are the ones that are beneficial to <i>you</i>...TwiTips, ProBlogger, Copyblogger et. al You would think with all this "giving" going on, people would automatically relate it to how to behave in IRL. But, people are more generally the ones who take advantage of #7 and take and take. Let's all keep #10 in mind! :) Sara @ iGoMogul Emma,

One more tip I'd like to say is to never profess to be the all-knowing expert or guru that everyone else professes to be. You'll see how bad is it when you try it! I agree with all your tips.
