Expert Witness Network Blog

With the obvious growth and groundswell behind Social Networking, I thought it may be helpful to the expert witness community to provide a few tips to help you wade through all the options and for you, as expert witnesses, to take advantage of it all.

Obviously you have taken the first step because you are here.

1) Diversify:

LinkedIn, Twitter, blogging and Facebook are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to social networking.  Just because you are in one, certainly doesn’t mean you have it covered.  You are already a participant in the Expert Witness Network LinkeIn group…why not expand into the world of Twitter and give it a try? 

 2) Participate:

 Lurking has its advantages, but there is nothing like pure participation to get the blood flowing.  Participating not only establishes you in your field and builds credibility, but it also builds your network.  Comment on discussions…comment on blogs…Tweet and ReTweet…you will be amazed at how quickly your network will grow.  Who knows…maybe you will find your next gig or even learn something you didn’t already know.  Who am I kidding??? You guys are the “experts”.

 3)“Birds Of A Feather…”

 Stick together.  Network, link-up, connect and follow others with similar interests and experience.  Your next connection could be the missing link to another connection that could solidify your future retirement.  This may be a stretch, but in this ever shrinking virtual world we live in, it’s not unheard of.

 On that note…here are the networks you can connect with me on:

Hopefully this was a helpful start.  I would be happy to continue to provide more tips in the future if you find this helpful and worthwhile.  Your feedback is always appreciated.
