How do I network naturally?
Seek out people that you resonate with, tell them how much you like their work and their style.
Create opportunities for connection and collaboration.
Nurture satisfying relationships that have a mutually positive exchange for both parties.
Encourage those you see doing great work at every level. People enjoy working with people who appreciate them and see their value.
Strike up casual conversations in appropriate places (a cafe, a gym, a class, a party) about people's passions. This can lead to deep connections that lead to satisfying mutual relationships.
Help people in their journey.
Be positive, be natural, and have no manipulative ends other than wanting joyful success for both of you through any channel.
