I don't know if that helps at all.

Establishing trust is a key to this method. If you're joining online groups/networking sites with sole goal of selling to them, things can turn sour quickly. Sometimes the members feel like you're taking advantage of them when you've been there a day and you're already in sales mode. Oftentimes they'll have rules about sales as well.
It takes more time, but becoming a contributing member of an online group will pay more longterm dividends.
