Networking with Skype Rooms

Networking with the use of Skype Rooms is becoming very popular.  Skype is a service that allows you to talk computer-to-computer for free, anywhere in the world!  If you would like to begin using Skype, download the software at http://www.skype.com – it only takes a few minutes to download and you can begin searching your contacts for those who already have Skype IDs.  Conduct a private one-on-one conversation or network with all the people that are logged into the room.  You can usually find someone in each of the rooms, no matter when you check in, since all the people involved live in different time zones.  There are many rooms that are focused on a particular topic.  Today I would like to share a few of them with you.

The one thing that stands out loud and clear – all participants in this room have a giving attitude – they want to share their expertise!  No question is too big or too small, or insignificant.  Everyone takes whatever time is needed to solve your problem and there is usually someone around that can help you out!

Time management – now that’s a tough one.  Since these Skype Rooms are very busy – conversations going on in many different directions, how do you manage your time there?  That’s a question we were asked today while we were attending Lynn Terry’s Weekly Internet Marketing Q&A.  By the way, here’s the link if you would like to join us next week!  http://www.selfstartersweeklytips.com/webinars/login.htm

I keep all the Skype Rooms open during the day and when I receive a notification, I quickly skim the message to see if I need to do something right now.  If not, I go back to work and reply when I need a break.  The nice thing about this is I am not forced to stop and check out the message if I am busy with another project!  I could choose Do Not Disturb and I will simply see a red flag on my Skype icon when  I am ready to read the posts. 

My main reason for using Skye Rooms is to build my business; for keeping in touch with people who are currently in my contact list; to meet new people; chatting with people to learn more about them as a step in the relationship developing stage and for sharing my networking tips so that I can be viewed as an Expert in Networking and Relationship Building.

How about you?  Do you participate in any Skype Rooms?  If you do, what is your favorite one?  Where do you hang out to network and learn?  Please post your comments and your questions – how can I help you network with Skype?
