Get out there.

The first way to successfully networking involves getting out there. Simple as that.

Whether its attending a party, going to a business event, or joining an organization, the first step in networking is getting involved. You cannot expect to make and develop relationships without making yourself accessible to others. People need to meet you and feel comfortable in order for networking to be a success. For this reason you should try to involve yourself in as many activities as your schedule allows.

A great website for networking is meetup.com. Try it.
