I am self-employed and am looking for ways to network with other
self-employed people in Pittsburgh. Note that I am not looking for
ways to network with other self-employed people in general -- only
those in Pittsburgh. I am thinking that there should be social
networking groups with this purpose, but I would welcome other
effective ways of contacting my peers as well. Bonus points if you
come up with a significant number of real email addresses of other
self-employed people in my area (which I suppose might be possible if
you find an applicable online group with email addresses in people's
profiles).
For the purposes of this question, "Pittsburgh", "Allegheny County",
and "southwestern Pennsylvania" are all equivalent. Also, I should
clarify what I mean by "self-employed". For my purposes what I am
looking for is either people who run 1-person businesses (whether
incorporated or not doesn't matter) or owners of businesses employing
just a few people. Everyone you find needn't meet this definition of
course, but I thought it might be helpful to know who I hope to find.
This is probably a pretty clear question, but I'll check back in 24
hours or so to see if there's any clarification you might want.
Thanks, and good luck. |
