Take some time to go though the Article Marketing Training to best benefit from this and then write some quality Articles simply sharing your knowledge and insights - if you have a hard time starting simply Teach something that you know.

Hello Deborah,

Welcome to Inside919! So glad you have joined us. I enjoyed reading your profile and learning a little more about your passion and services.

Inside919 is a great network that provides REAL value to small businesses!

Here are a few pointers to help get you started:

I encourage you to review the 'Groups' page and join the "Business Networking In" Group for your town. This is a great networking opportunity to reach out, meet, and connect with others in the group. There may be other groups that interest you as well that you might like to join.
Also, make sure you’re showing up on our new Business Directory (the key is to make sure the category name used in the Directory is in the "About my Business" field on your Profile (click "Settings" to the right).
Be sure to keep an eye on the Events Calendar. This is where you’ll find a listing of local networking events or training sessions that other members have posted.

If you should need any help or advice on the network, please don't hesitate to reach out. I'm happy to help!

Good Luck!

~Stacey

I'm glad you found us.

Take the time to look at the Member Guidelines and Membership Options.

Here is a video tour of Inside919 so you can better understand how to put the network to work for you immediately.

We are a Paid Business Membership Organization (much like a Regional Chamber of Commerce), but our Trial Member option is a very affordable way to kick the tires and make sure that we're the right fit for growing your local business network.

Please let me know whenever I can be of help around here.
