Truly Twisted Marketing

I am completely in love with Biznik.

With a manifesto that reads like a revolution in the making…how can I not?

Check this out – straight from the Biznik pages.

“We Believe that Most Business Networking Groups Suck.

Actually, we don't believe this. We know it. We've been there. We've suffered. We've gone to "lunch bunches." We've had "power partners." We've scanned the room full of dead-eyed real estate brokers, desperate financial planners and failure-focused "nontrepreneurs" and we've had enough. Biznik doesn't suck. Biznik will never suck. If Biznik starts to suck, tell us. We'll either fix it or we'll burn the damn thing to the ground and dance barefoot in the ashes.”

Who can pass up a business networking site that has that kind of gusto and passion?

The best thing about Biznik is that it is exactly what it says it is - no hidden agendas, no money switching hands behind the scenes, no jacking up the price to get a listing after you’ve joined, just a tool for collaboration between independent contractors and entrepreneurs (designers, marketers, technology geeks, self-proclaimed gurus…anyone, really). And everything about Biznik is completely transparent. The whole manifesto is here. Go read it. You don't want to miss this. It's that good.

While the home-base for Biznik is in Seattle, WA, no one is excluded and everyone (no matter what part of the world) is invited to participate. It’s small compared to a linkedin or zoominfo  but it’s fun and has a real grassroots feel to it.

I set up a profile (free, of course) and to my amazement, several members queried me and checked out my profile before it was ever complete. It's sort of like being the new kid in school. Everyone wants to know who you are and what you are all about.

The best part about Biznik, though, is that it's truly transparent and in today's online world that's what it is all about. There are many other business networking sites but I haven't come across one quite like this. If you have, let me know. We'll post it here, analyze it and pick apart the services and offers. Maybe we'll even get an interview out of it or make it a two-part series.
