tricky to follow your meaning, but I'm assuming that you're referring to
networking in the social/business sense and maybe to online networking
communities like LinkedIn and Ecademy.

I've tried both and not found either particularly useful - both seem to
favour the founders and those with a multi-level marketing mentality,
both feel slightly cheesy (i doubt that will translate well!)

the most useful networking I have found is this list and others like it,
where niche expertise can be demonstrated over time to build trust,
which leads to a more effective business relationship.

I hope that helps?

You might find some success with your local BNI? a lot of freelancers
on this list have mentioned them favourably.
