John Stephen Veitch | | OK, you did it, you forced yourself to join 10 networks. So now what?
Over the next week visit each of those networks and read the discussions.
Two things: Is the discussion interesting to you?
Who are these people?
Visit some homepages. Perhaps make a guest book entry.
If a network is pointless, boring or offensive, use the "edit networks" link (Under "The leader of this network is Xxxxx", at the bottom of every network page) and leave that network.
When you find a PERSON you like, check out the networks they have joined. Perhaps you'll find they have similar interests to you.
In a week or two, AFTER you've had a good look at Ryze Networks, why don't you make a post to this URL, telling other people here what your favourite network is. (Excluding SNN of course, we're already ALL members here.)
(Hint for the future: In a week of so I'm going to ask you to choose 3 "best Ryze Home Pages" from all of Ryze. You might start looking now.)

John Stephen Veitch | | Evaluate your networks.
Find something that feeds your interest.
Melissa is in 12 networks.
Gillian is in 14.
Walter is in only 4.
Ayako is in 13.
Some of your networks might be "dead". No active posting. That doesn't matter, you can still contact all the people in that network. Don't delete it, at least not yet, but add a new live network to your list.
If you're on a network where nothing of importance is being talked about, look for something better.
Here's a trick that works. Find an experienced person you like. Go to that persons Ryze page and open in new tabs several networks they have chosen. Join some of those.
If you are in networks you don't like, leave.
I get all my network mail sent to my Google email address. I have a "Ryze" label. With my 70 networks I get about 50 notices a day. I probably open 10 to 15 of them.
When I didn't have so many networks, it was simple to open all my active networks in the morning, each one in a new tab. Then I'd check each tab and close any that were not of interest. (Maybe half of them.) So now I have 4 to 6 things to read and maybe follow up during the day if I get time.
You'll find it takes some time, but it is manageable.
Two things are important.
What are people talking about - can they teach me something?
Who are these people?
Visit the Ryze pages of those who interest you.

Gillian Linge | | Great advise,but at the moment, because America is so many hours different I only get a few emails during the day but in the morning I sometimes have upwards of 300 emails! I try to sort them in order of importance, ie Sales, enquiries, my affiliates and then social. About 100 may be junk. I try to read most, but sometimes there just aren't enough hours in the day to work my physical job and then the internet, many nights I fall asleep at home about 9.00pm, wake up about 12 and then on the computer until 2 - 3 am, this has now got to stop, I cannot concentrate when I am over tired. I normally get up around 5.30am.
My advise is to organise your life around your immediate needs and limit your time on the net (unless you are an aspiring millionaire within reach!) take it from one who has had one too many health scares.
Behave and organise your lifestyle FIRST!
