Next weekend I’ll be giving a presentation at IndieConf about effective networking for independent contractors and solopreneurs. Everyone says word of mouth is the best way to get new clients, but who can just sit around and wait for word of mouth to start bringing in the business?
I’m going to be talking about how to use effective networking strategies to land new clients and more work from current clients. I’ll be discussing several different strategies – both online and off.
Why should you listen to me about networking for independent contractors? After spending two years as head of web development and sales for a small company, I started my own (solo) consulting firm that I later sold to Kelsey Advertising & Design in 2006. I have owned or worked in small web consulting firms for the past ten years.

I wish I could go! Wow, that sounds exactly like what I need right now. LOL :P Do you know if you’ll be able to record it? :D
Havana, It’s a good possibility it will be recorded. If IndieConf doesn’t record it, I may have a friend record it for me.
Great presentation for anyone that is a freelancer, or small business owner in general. Brandon gave good tips, while dispelling the myths that too many ppl wrongly believe about networking.
