But it is time consuming to manage one profile much less several. However, if you are a small business person or solo-preneur, you may want to check out Biznik.

Biznick says it’s not another Linked-In, however it’s a bit like Linked-In meets Meet-Up. According to the site, Biznik is a “community of entrepreneurs and small businesses dedicated to helping each other succeed.” It is specifically geared to the small business person wanting to connect to avoid feelings of isolation, expand their business network, increase visability, and get support with other business people in their geographic area.

While Biznik offers a free membership, it has two other membership levels, Pro at $10 per month and ProVIP for $24 per month. The upgrades offer additional features such as enhacing your profile (i.e. to include a logo), unlimited messaging, video and more.
