I’ll try to make this long story a short one. 
A few years ago I was a Tupperware consultant. Tupperware had message boards that were accessible to consultants who paid for a website. The message boards were bad - littered with ads and not very helpful. A group of people wanted to break away, and soon a yahoo group was started to offer help. After a very short period of time (less then two weeks if I remember right) everyone determined that the yahoo group was just not what we needed and wanted to move on. So someone put a phBB system on a website and voila - instant Tupperware message board with all the free help you could ask for!
I better get to the point the woman who ran the message board had received an invitation to Ryze. Back then, it was by invitation only. I was interested in what it was, so I asked her for an invite. I was soon a member and learning the ins and outs of networking online.
There are networks for every topic you can think of ~ working at home networks are big for me, but there are also interest networks (books, hobbies, tv shows) as well as what I call “ask me how” networks (techie help, even Ryze help).
Ryze is great if you join to network and put in what you want to get out. Don’t be a fly-by-night poster, submitting your ads hoping people will pay attention ~ they (we) won’t.
Here are a few networks I am a part of ~
I think you have to be a member of Ryze and signed in to be able to see the networks. Join today!
