- connectors: people who make a real effort to know who you are, what you're working on and how they can help you. these people follow up via email and make intro's for you, without you even asking. How does one make a living from being a connector? It sounds like a lovely job, but there's a reason why more people are empty networkers: they are pushing their own agenda to make a living. I know you could say that one should take the long term view, and that if you are a great connector, eventually good things will happen. It's like saying that you should start a blog to find a job. The blog won't make you money, but it will land you a job (maybe). Connecting people may land you a great job at some point. Too bad, I wanted to keep being a connector. How do I do that?
