I've been teaching loan officers how to do the same thing to form relationships with agents that they want to network with. Master your niche, be the resource.

Google alerts have especially been helpful by seeking out material important for me instead of me having to go find it. Google reader has been great as well, but I'm having trouble finding the time to read all that reader is pulling in. I’ve begun to implement your thoughts and it’s great!

The worst thing you can do is bombard journalists or customers--if you become a good resource on subjects and help them out they'll be more than willing to help you out. Jason Calcanis gave me the tip, to follow your favorite bloggers/journalists very closely and as soon as you see they've published something be the first one to comment. It goes a long way to making it seem like you really care about the authors writing. (I'm glad I'm the second one to post on this topic!) Follow your journalists on Twitter and hopefully when they tweet their new post, pick it up right away and get to commenting! I think this strategy is genius.

Adding value before requesting favors is great advice for any situation where you need help. Just like a bank account -- you've got to make a deposit before you can make a withdrawal!
