I was there to hang out with other genealogists.<br /><br />One of my regular streams of income originated from a conversation I had with a company president at a conference. I was there to hang out with other genealogists.<br /><br />I maintain an extensive online profile. This helps me meet people in the genealogy field, and the bigger research industry who may need such services. This has led to meeting many professionals face-to-face. These people refer clients to me. I regularly hang out with other genealogists to foster these relationships so the referrals keep coming.<br /><br />Also, hanging out with genealogists is one of the best ways to get the scoop on what's happening in the industry, which is key if you want to stay current and competitive.Amy Coffin, MLIShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00612044786240692282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691016683378293851.post-31738983889101965392011-01-25T08:50:56.398-05:002011-01-25T08:50:56.398-05:00Sally - Good question.
