How to make Networking a Business

[elbambino]

What's up Peeps!
Over the years I have developed a great variety of friends and connections. I have been bringing people from all sorts of back rounds together. Some have even gone into business together. Although I am all about introducing people and an overall good time, several individuals have came to me asking why haven't I started a business where network IS my business.

Does anyone have any insights and/or experience in this? I believe everyone has something to bring to the table and helping others are important to me, so i figured I would ask.

I am truly not in for the money but would enjoy this to be one of my outlets.

I currently have a core group which expands monthly and have now been setting up events just for the purpose of learning and entertainment. I would like some guidance on how to harness all my connections and opportunities.

Thanks again for your insights, ill be following closely!

• As "Hitch" is to dating (movie reference), you be to entrepreneurs. A matchmaker that charges for the service.
• Create one of a kind or themed networking getaways and charge for the experience. (@biophase did this with an African Safari entrepreneur retreat.)
• Create an exclusive group of people similar to Maverick1000.com that will pay dues to be a member of the group.
• Create a high-end event like Abundance360summit.com that is limited to a small group and has a very high ticket entry.
