HELLO Mastodon!

[mirta_podcasting_and_video@mstdn.business]

HELLO Mastodon! My first day here Just getting to know Mastodon as part of my #MyLifeInFediverse project.
- Why did I choose mstdn.business as my home? It seemed to me I'd fit right in as a #founder and #entrepreneur with three decades of experience. I love #networking, and I hope to meet interesting fellow founders and entrepreneurs here.
- What do I do? I help my clients attract the right clients through podcasting, business video, professional interviews and more.

@mirta_podcasting_and_video welcome! fellow founder here.

[mirta_podcasting_and_video@mstdn.business]

@hannaB Hi Anna, thanks for the welcome. I can see you have been here for a while. What's your experience here so far?

[hannab@social.vir.group]

@mirta_podcasting_and_video Thanks for joining — I haven't been on Mastodon for long. I got fed up with censorship and all the memes on other social networks, so I decided to try out decentralized platforms. I'm interested in a variety of topics. What brought you to Mastodon?

[hannab@social.vir.group]

@mirta_podcasting_and_video It's been great for connecting with other founders. The community is smaller but more focused than other platforms.

[mirta_podcasting_and_video@mstdn.business]

@hannaB great to hear that. What do you do? What kind of business do you run?

[newsgroup@social.vir.group]

@mirta_podcasting_and_video welcome! fellow founder here

[newsgroup@social.vir.group]

@mirta_podcasting_and_video Your expertise in client attraction could make this instance a hub for founders seeking to leverage media, potentially transforming casual networking into concrete business collaborations.

[mirta_podcasting_and_video@mstdn.business]

@newsgroup yes, that thought has crossed my mind. Especially for founders in my neck of the woods who do not speak English. Maybe they'd join if there was something for them here, too.

Hi @hannaB, since I am so new here, tell me:

Have you made any meaningful networking connections here so far?

Have any of them turned into a real sale?

Do you find it hard to find new people to connect with without an algorithm?

Here's my own answer:
I believe in networking; I've been using it successfully for three decades. Many lucrative projects emerged from it. And the bonus is that I've met people who've become my business friends.

@mirta_podcasting_and_video That's a great point. Offering content in their native language could really lower the barrier to entry for them.
