"Write a book. You can self-publish or hold out for a publisher, explains Lucy Rosen, president of The Business Development Group, a marketing and public relations firm in Bethpage. Rosen has a networking book, "Fast Track Networking, Turning Conversations into Contacts," due out in June. She did secure a publisher, Career Press, but says some people use self-publishing options like iUniverse.

Participate in social media. Share information and participate in conversations and groups on social media sites like Twitter and Facebook, suggests Rosen, who uses these networks. Become an expert resource, she recommends.

Get speaking gigs. Get yourself in front of groups as a speaker, says Rosen, who does just that. It helps build your reputation as an authoritative source, she notes."
