That sixth degree of separation resulted in a referral. Unfortunately, the referral didn't result in an assignment.  The "experts" hammered us (that is, strivers) to like our way to success on social media. According to those supposed networking gurus, if we really really targeted our likes and supported them with well-thought-out comments we would land some useful contacts. But, of course, that would take time. So, like like like.

Asking for referrals is a form of networking. Allow me to re-introduce you to a concept with which you are probably familiar. If you are like most freelance writers, it’s one you probably ignore or use informally. The concept is called networking, which is a fancy word for talking to people about what you do. You are networking with previous customers. However, what about all the people you know who are not customers?

The game, now called inbound marketing, used to be known simply as referrals and/or playing in traffic. You bet, put plenty of energy in the actual delivery of your services so that there will be referrals. The experts usually put "inbound marketing" in the digital box.    But, in essence, inbound marketing is all about having customers and clients come to you. Versus your reaching out to them. And, of course, that's nothing new.
