Well, i simply want to make one new contact a week for LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter. I figure that is a way to get one step closer to learning more about the career field I seek to enter into one day and figuring out specifically what I want to do once in that field.

I want to say "Find more business!" but as you already said that's very generic. I would first like to interact with people and then sell. Building a relationship and trust is key to any business to business interaction.

As much as that sounds good on paper, I find it hard to stay involved in conversations with those whom might need my services. Where do I find them? How often will I be able to interact with them? Those are questions I need to find answers to before I can set a predominant goal.

I have learned that for me, Twitter is a place to gain knowledge - not really a place to create business contacts. Facebook was initially a place to re-connect with friends from high school and college, but I am experimenting with the business networking/advertising aspect of FB. And Smaller Indiana is my place to network, meet people who inspire me and those who I can refer business to and hopefully receive referrals from. I haven't seen any measurable results from LinkedIn, I'm linked with business people that I know, a few friends from college - I think I may be missing something when it comes to that particular site. Suggestions welcome.
