Find your buddy!

When you were a kid, do you remember taking swimming lessons and learning about all the safety rules when swimming? If so, you probably remember something about always having a swimming buddy.

In internet marketing, the same rules apply, but you should try to have as many swimming buddies as possible. You never know when one might save you from drowning or help you in some other way.

But here's the trick -- don't necessarily try to partner up with the biggest names in your industry. That's awesome if you can pull that off, but most of them won't give you a second of their time. Instead, try to find people around the same level as you. There definitely is power in numbers, and it very well could be the very thing that gets you noticed.

So where is your swimming buddy?
