Online Networking Daily Blueprint (60–90 minutes)

Morning Session (Best for focus and clarity)

Time Activity Purpose
0–5 min Mindset prep — Set intention, take a deep breath, remind yourself: “I’m connecting with like-minded builders, not random scrolling.” Align energy and focus
5–15 min Curated feed scroll — Pick 3–5 posts or discussions to engage with. Use Twitter/X, LinkedIn, Discord, Reddit, Indie Hackers. Identify high-value interactions
15–35 min Meaningful commenting — Leave thoughtful comments on selected posts. Add insights, questions, or experiences. Build visibility & credibility
35–45 min Share micro-content / updates — Post one small update: progress, lessons, or discoveries. Keep it authentic. Showcase your work & thinking
45–55 min DM / connection request — Reach out to 1 person daily. Mention what you liked, why you resonate, and suggest one small collaboration or conversation. Create 1–1 connections
55–60 min Follow-up / tracking — Log interactions in a sheet: person, platform, date, follow-up. Prevent lost connections & plan next touchpoint

Extra Tips

  1. Document everything: Keep a simple spreadsheet with handles, date of last interaction, and notes.
  2. Be authentic & value-driven: People feel energy — aim to inspire or help rather than just “network.”
  3. Consistency > intensity: Even 30 min/day beats random long sessions.
  4. Energy alignment: Prioritize communities where people are building and learning. Avoid toxic engagement or low-frequency chatter.
  5. Slow networking: Follow someone, engage in threads, then follow up after 1–2 weeks with a DM or reply.
