You can network through
- participating in group discussions

- staying on top of the happening by monitoring your news feed and follow influencers, and comment on their shared content
- writing a testimonial for your connections, showcasing how their expertise made a difference in your life and business (do not expect to receive one as a favor, giving a testimonial should be a genuine act)
