Inside Business Warriors Online Networking

The BIGGEST challenge your venture faces, the challenge that if you fail with it, WILL force your firm into closure, is simply this: How to find more clients.

Most of us have been down the advertising road, and usually with little success. And most of have tried (or still do try) networking meetings. Some are good, but we've attended a host which are like business speed-dating. No fun, and by the time the hour is over, everyone has forgotten everybody else.

Our community gathers online. Often. At odd hours. That means that we develop lots of strong relationships.

So if somebody asks me for a surveillance expert, guess who springs to mind? Tim, who tells us what he does, in his signature, attached to thousands of posts.

And if one of the Warriors  wants to sell a business (or buy one) or wants any help with either of those, somebody else pops up. Mark, who tells us what he does, in his signature, attached to thousands of posts.

Mark will be the first to admit that the community has sent him a whole pile of prospects.

In other words - being seen in the Forum adds huge value to your business. When you show your competence by answering the occasional question that falls within your ambit, you strengthen your image, and your Forum signature reminds us what you do.

But we're trying to offer a lot more than that. The Business Warrior site has been very active for the past five years. By introducing 'live' testimonials, with links to Warrior sites we're sharing back.

For instance, if you refresh this page, you will see a completely different set of testimonials.

We do the same thing with the Warrior profiles that appear at the bottom of the pages in the Tao section.

More importantly, most small business owners don't have too much skill when it comes to making themselves visible online. We're solving that by offering them each an optimised profile that will draw Google traffic (because we're a reasonably high ranked site). This traffic will click-through to the site of the relevant Warrior (if s/he has one) or will act as their website until they get one.

This community is about helping each other. It's worked well since March 2004. Please join us.
