LinkedIn is where my business created itself over 10 years ago before I even considered one. I have also answered over a million questions on Quora (per recent email notice from them), and looks like I have answered a few thousand here as well. That is as close as I get to doing networking but I guess it counts since that brings me more clients than I can even accept, so I get the opportunity to share those excess clients with competitors, who I call colleagues since I have no need to compete. I also get to pick and choose which clients I prefer to work with.
