How many authors do you know who love networking?
(So not raising my hand.)
Let’s face it—a lot of us are introverts, and networking events where we have to do a lot of small talk are probably right up there in popularity with a canceled publishing contract. Am I right?
What if I told you there was a better way to expand your network to create and nurture connections?
Well, there is. And my guest today is going to tell you how.
Devin Sizemore is a serial entrepreneur and the author of the book Connection Expansion, which delivers a foolproof strategy on identifying and cultivating high-value connections that can help your career or business.
He’s run a bunch of businesses—including a cat cafe!! Which of course we talk A LOT about— and he’s honed the art of networking while building those ventures. His strategies are perfect for authors looking to build their brand through meaningful connections.
We covered:
• Why you need a network, especially as an author
• How to manage your networking time effectively so it’s not taking up too many hours of your writing time
• Common mistakes in networking
• What it was like to write his first book
And so much more. If you’re looking to get your name out there—and really, what author isn’t?
—you don’t want to miss this episode.
