Best Ways to Network with Content Marketers in the HubSpot Community

[vinvincible]

Hi guys!

I'm new to this community. How can we best network with the content creators/marketers here?

Hi @vinvincible and thanks for the tag @BérangèreL !

Welcome to the community!

The best way to connect is to engage with the content.  Give some upvotes, provide value in threads where you have some additional options or color to add, or post questions yourself to start with.  

We do have the ability to direct message in the forum, but if I were you I would wait until you've engaged in the public spaces a few times before sending a DM. I tend to view DM's from contacts I haven't already interacted with with a healthy amount of skepticism - the same as I would on LinkedIn or another forum.

If you engage often enough, you may be invited to the Champions program, which will open up additional opportunities for connecting.  You don't necessarily need to get accepted solutions to get there either. Just engage.

I look forward to seeing your posts out there!

Welcome to the Community @vinvincible! In my experience, the forums are a great place to start connecting. You'll notice there are a few of us out here pretty regularly, trying to help others. Engage in those questions, and even drop a thought in a thread. You could ask follow up questions, or drop in a little gratitude. Genuine interaction is definitely appreciated and noticed.  

I'd also suggest finding groups like HUGs (HubSpot User Groups) and others that focus on what you're looking for in others. For instance, searching for the phrase content marketers brought up this study group. If it were me, I'd look through some of those folks, follow them & engage, and possibly find your circle. 

Looking forward to seeing you around the community!
