Thanks for joining Insurance Campus.org!
How to “Get Started” at Insurance Campus.org
Insurance Campus.org now has over 700 members from 15 countries and I want to personally thank you for your interest. The medium is new to us and we are going through a bit of a learning curve on how to make this a tremendous networking and communication tool for everyone. We have started a “Tips for using Insurance Campus.org” help list that you can access by clicking the “Forum” tab at the top of the page. We will be adding topics and it currently has information on:
- How to “Get Started” at Insurance Campus.org
- How to change the “theme” on your home page
- What is the URL of my Insurance Campus.org Home Page?
- What to do if your picture is not displaying properly.
- Using the search bar
- Starting a Forum Discussion
- Starting your own Group
- Adding a Photo to your page.
- What countries have one or more members at Insurance Campus.org?
- Privacy & How To Send A Private Message To Another Member Of Insurance Campus.org
- Every Tuesday is “Make A Friend Tuesday” at Insurance Campus.org
We will try not to broadcast too many messages to the entire group, but we wanted to let you know where to start for assistance. The “power” of this site is the user-generated nature of the content and we look forward to see how the members control it.
+++
The best way to get started may be to use the search bar located in the upper right corner. Type in an area of interest and everything related to that topic will be listed for you. That is why it is to your advantage to have your profile filled in as much as possible – this is how other people find you.

Every Tuesday is “Make A Friend Tuesday” at Insurance Campus.org
You can use the search box located in the upper right corner to type in whatever keyword you want to help find people with a common affinity (see new profile questions below); it could be an area of business interest, a country, or even be an area of personal interest.
“At the end of a year, if you do nothing but make one new relationship each Tuesday, you will expand your network by 52 insurance professionals, and by the multiple of all their business relationship contacts as well.
“By establishing Tuesdays as Make A Friend day, it reduces some of the reluctance to reach out to somebody where there has been no previous introduction. If nothing else, there is the common affinity of being a member of Insurance Campus.org.” Of course you don’t have to wait until Tuesdays to reach out and make new friends with someone you don’t know.

Sample Friend Invitation:
I see that you have a page on Insurance Campus and I wanted to invite you to be part of my network.
_____ should be an area of increased focus in 2009 and I would look to networking with other insurance professionals that have an interest in _____.
or,
I see that you have a page on Insurance Campus and I wanted to invite you to be part of my insurance industry network here in the _____ area.

Here is some information about privacy and sending private messages.
No information appears on any member’s page, except what they put there and the e-mail address used to register is never shown.
If a person wants to send a private message to another member, there is a send a message icon in the left column right next to the envelope icon. This will send a private e-mail to the other member, but does not reveal the actual e-mail address it is being sent to. Nobody knows that you sent an e-mail or what the e-mail says except you, the recipient, and whatever service handles your e-mail technology.
+++
We are working to make Insurance Campus.org the largest insurance networking site on the Internet and a valuable networking tool for each member. It may take a short time to completely populate the site applications and groups, but we think you will see the vision and potential of the site immediately.
Let us know if we can be of any assistance.
