Would you like to have a famous author, prominent entrepreneur, or well-heeled venture capitalist in your network?

你想在自己的社交網(wǎng)絡中結識幾個知名作家，杰出企業(yè)家，或是某個富有的資本家嗎?

Of course. But they almost always appear out of reach. Here are four suggestions for how to get noticed:

當然!但他們總是那么遙不可及。這里有四點建議教你如何被商業(yè)大佬注意到：

1. Interview them

采訪他們

You’ve heard a million times that in the Internet era, we’re all media companies and publishers. Leverage that.

這句話你可能聽過幾百萬遍了——網(wǎng)絡時代，我們每個人都可以成為記者或出版商。多多運用這一點吧。

If you want the opportunity to ask targeted questions and learn from the best, start a blog or podcast, and you can rapidly build relationships and become known as a connector and curator.

如果你想有針對性地從業(yè)內(nèi)精英那里獲得答案，那現(xiàn)在就開通一個博客或播客。這樣你可以很快與之建立聯(lián)系，也可以作為一名聯(lián)系人和管理者闖出一點名堂。

2. Write about them

寫寫名人軼事

In the Internet era, you can often get the attention of industry leaders without even attempting direct contact.

在網(wǎng)絡時代，你甚至都不用直接聯(lián)系就可以受到業(yè)內(nèi)領導者的關注。

If you consistently retweet someone’s posts, comment on their blogs or mention them in your writing, they’re likely to take notice.

如果你堅持轉發(fā)某位名人的推特，評論他們的博客，或者在你的文章中提到他，那么他們很有可能注意到你。

3. Do them a favor

幫他們一個小忙

If you’re following an industry leader’s Twitter feed and they ask a question where you could help — restaurant recommendations, links to relevant research or the like — take the opportunity to respond.

如果你一直關注某位業(yè)內(nèi)精英的推特，然后發(fā)現(xiàn)他們提出了一個你可以幫到忙的問題——例如推薦一個好吃的餐廳，一個相關研究的鏈接，諸如此類。那么抓住這個機會回答他們吧!

They’ll likely be appreciative.

他們可能會很感激你。

4. Make yourself interesting

讓自己有趣點兒

Sometimes the most important part of making a connection is the personal and professional development you’ve already done.

有的時候，和商業(yè)大佬搭上線的關鍵就在于你自己已經(jīng)取得的個人專業(yè)性成就。

If you know a lot about vintage wine, or gourmet cooking, or fine tequila, or tango dance, or travel in Latin America or Southeast Asia, or Buddhist meditation and philosophy… or some other interesting hobby, it’s very likely you’ll be able to share your gift among people you want to connect with.

如果你有一些有意思的興趣，諸如對陳年佳釀、美食品鑒、上好的龍舌蘭有一些心得，抑或是對探戈、拉丁美洲或東南亞旅游、佛教冥想、哲學等略知一二;那么你很可能通過這些和你想結識的人搭上兩句話。
