There are many strategies to networking. I think one of the first things a person needs to assess when deciding to network is to find sites that you personally can utilize. If Facebook is how someone wants to market themselves then focus on utilizing Facebook. Don't try to use sites that are unfamiliar and foreign to you. Once you have found how to market yourself online you then want to make yourself stand out from other people within these social networking sites. Find ways to show that you have the best to offer whatever company you may be targeting. Some other strategies of networking that are more than just online media based are actually attending networking events and getting to know people. Making those personal face to face connections with people is crucial in networking strategies.  Our realm of social networking can be multiplied with the number of contacts made with other people. Social networking can encompass online activities as well as face to face interactions.

Kailey,

Great post. I agree with familiarizing yourself with the network prior to trying to utilize it for your own use. You may come across as inexperienced to others and possibly frustrate yourself to a point of no return. I remember feeling confused years ago when looking at Linkedin and it took some time before I became comfortable with it.
