Thousands of all the people are flocking to Ryze, but whats the fuss about? Ryze holds a world of opportunity for those in business, and even those not in busines.

What is Ryze? Ryze is a networking community, similar to message boards or Yahoo Groups. Although imagine for a minute that all those groups and boards we are rolled up into one page and you had a human page all about you. This concept IS Ryze. The personal page eliminates the positive need for signatures in messages, due to a clickable hyperlink leading to your personal page.

Your first step when joining Ryze is generating your personal page. Here are a few tips for making your home page:

~ Pictures are a must, even if they are just your business logo. Personal pages with pictures get much more attention.

~ Information about your business - why it was started, what your goals behind the business are, specials, and a subscription box in you have a newsletter

~ Personal information - pictures of your family, what you like to do in your spare time, informaton on your hobbies and interests.

~ Set up your electronic mail , address, home phone, and any other understanding you would like to give many people on an individual basis. This may be done by clicking on "Edit personal info" (Link on the left hand side), then choosing "Contact Info for release to others".

After your home page is set up, its measure to join a message board (called "networks" on Ryze. Start slow by only joining one or two, and be sure they are of interest to you. Read the rules of the board and read through a few posts to get a "feel" of the board before joining. There are two purposes of a network that are similar to regular groups and communication boards:

1. Meet new everybody ~ This does not mean finding people to sell to. A person you meet might do several different things:

- Become a customer
- Introduce you to another customer
- Open up other networking opportunities
- Become a partner
- Become a friend

You can get to understand those you meet on networks a step further by visiting their home pages (just like the one you set up) and signing their guest book. From their home page you might view their site and any other data they have, along with the other networks they are members of and their list of friend. If you should add them as a friend, their name will show up on your home page as a friend of yours.

2. Share Ideas/Get Opinions ~ Key word here being SHARE. Asking for ideas and opinions is dazzling, but giving them is more important. Be sure you are giving back to the community.

The opportunities are endless on Ryze. Aside from finding others on networks, you might visit home pages of many people your friends have added as a friend.
