Make Hay Ethical E-Media

One of our fantastic Make Mail clients Michael Norton, of 365 Act, has published a gargantuan list of networks in his August newsletter.

The list includes physical and virtual networking groups for technology and social entrepreneurs and creative people.

As Michael Says networking is a great way to get the creative juices flowing and “the two ingredients of success in changing the world are CURIOSITY and SERENDIPITY”

Yesterday I received a message via Facebook from our friend and Greenfinder founder Kate saying:

“Interested in networking with other green/ethical/community or social enterprise groups in the Midlands?”

Are we ever?!

Kate has set up a Facebook group for like minded people in the Midlands to connect online and possibly meet up in the region for social events. There are lots of groups and networking events in London for ethical businesses but not really anything in the Midlands - until now.

So, if you have a Facebook profile look for the group ‘Green & Ethical Networking in the Midlands’ and come and join us.

If you don’t have a Facebook profile watch this space as I will add updates about progress of the group. Please feel free to contact me if you’re interested in being involved or have any queries or suggestions.

Two marketing marvels that caught my eye recently are are the fantastic Shama Hyder’s ‘After the Launch’ blog and Peter Shankman’s ‘If I can help a reporter out’

Shama’s blog provides regular insights and ideas into creative marketing and networking. She shares her views on the best social networking sites and shows us how to use them to our advantage - www.afterthelaunch.com/blog/

Peter provides daily updates on stories being sought by journalists. If you can genuinely help a reporter out then that may mean publicity for you and an interesting article for them, its win win all round! - www.helpareporter.com

Emerging from the book ‘Your Ethical Business‘ is this online Ethical Business Network. It is a growing community of entrepreneurs and business owners sharing information and support.

The network is free to join, all you have to do is register and fill in your details.

Ethical business is growing all the time so let’s collaborate to strengthen it even further. I’m a member of the network so do pop by to say “hello” when you join. You’ll probably see some other familiar faces in there too!
