如何认识人，人脉的力量

Would you like to have a famous author, prominent entrepreneur, or well-heeled venture capitalist in your network?

Of course. But they almost always appear out of reach. Here are four suggestions for how to get noticed:

1. Interview them

You’ve heard a million times that in the Internet era, we’re all media companies and publishers. Leverage that.

If you want the opportunity to ask targeted questions and learn from the best, start a blog or podcast, and you can rapidly build relationships and become known as a connector and curator.

2. Write about them

If you consistently retweet someone’s posts, comment on their blogs or mention them in your writing, they’re likely to take notice.

3. Do them a favor

If you’re following an industry leader’s Twitter feed and they ask a question where you could help — restaurant recommendations, links to relevant research or the like — take the opportunity to respond

They’ll likely be appreciative.
