Building Network Online While Working Remotely

Someone on X asked: "I’m looking to build my network, got any tips on how to get started?" I'm collecting a list of responses that I found useful and actionable.

• The most obvious is posting daily on X, commenting on others' content, and responding to messages. Share valuable content while remaining authentic in interactions.
• Follow people more strategically from the same field and with the same number of followers.
• Join groups or communities like Build in Public: https://x.com/i/communities/1493446837214187523​
• If you really want to get into it, set up GummySearch, Google Alerts, F5bot, ReplyGuy, or BrandWatch to watch relevant words you are interested in and reply to those threads.

How TikTok Works

TikTok-like algorithms are changing how we search for information. A lot of Gen Z uses it as a primary search engine. Many new entrepreneurs are leveraging this fact with the creator army model. Instead of relying on one big influencer, brands incentivize many creators to produce product-specific content. You get hundreds of videos where only a few go viral because the TikTok algorithm rewards engaging content and not follower count.

This is where https://www.kalodata.com/ comes into play. It's amazing for research. You can query which video sold the most products in the last 30 days. Filter by category and find the best-performing video in your niche. Use that as an inspiration for your videos. Study how to structure creator incentives (e.g., commissions, contests like Goalie’s condo giveaway)

If you are a creator, you can find brands to work with. And analyze viral video anatomy (hooks, scarcity, storytelling, how to use authenticity, curiosity gaps, and emotional triggers, transformation).
