What makes someone a social hub?
by Khaos on Feb.18, 2009, under Social hub
When people know that you are a great source of contacts, specially influential ones. You socialize and meet with influential people frequently. By virtue of the number and quality of your own social network you can act as a powerful problem solver, and those that know you recognize that.
One example:
I know several social hubs, but one I like to use as an example is a friend who used to be a State Representative and knows an incredible number of people of importance involved in politics and big business in the state, plus he has an equally impressive number of well placed contacts in Washington DC and New York City. He is a man that can make incredible things happen with a few phone calls, or a nice conversation over dinner, or at the golf club.
My way of becoming a social hub was by throwing parties at my place, hosting events and parties there, and letting other people use my space for their own parties. It worked like a charm. I was soon involved in more social circles than I cold digest, and I had the change to connect to everyone at blazing speeds. Combined that with my way to gaming with a girl along the results were excellent.
