I've found networking to be very difficult so far, as I'm just starting out, but it's helpful not only to get advice specifically on networking for freelance creatives but also to hear I am not the only one who doesn't like it! It can be difficult to tell the difference between networking and schmoozing (which I am NOT a fan of). And Kim's comment was helpful too. Thanks for another helpful article and discussion!

In todays world you may succeed without networking, but chances are pretty bad. Reading relevant sources and commenting their posts and articles is a nice starting point... :) This is so right.

It made me realize that the projects I enjoyed the most were ones where my clients were web designers, and not necessarily projects where I dealt directly with the client. This helped me to realize that I should be focusing my networking primarily on events where there will be web designers and web developers who might need to outsource the technical aspects of their projects, rather than going to more general networking events on the slim chance that "someone might need a website". If you figure out some information about the kind of client that you're seeking, this will help you to identify the kinds of networking events that might be the most beneficial for you to attend.
