Networking is a significant part of growing professionally and getting better opportunities. It is only when you meet other people in the field that you can increase your business contacts and get your name out there. Once you get your name out there, more people will know who you are and what it is that you do. This increases the likelihood of people reaching out to you for your services, and at times to provide you with other opportunities that can allow you to gain more experience, and better job titles and pay. This is of course tedious for a lot of people, but it is necessary. There are two ways to do this, one is through online channels like LinkedIn that allow business professionals to view your profile, and traditionally through the use of business cards. Both are important, and if you do not have the latter, you should ideally look into Black Metal Kards and get yours made as soon as you can.

Business cards have existed for centuries and still happen to be incredibly relevant and useful today. LinkedIn is convenient and allows you to connect with strangers and increases your reach, but business cards are integral for in-person interactions because people will not remember your name long enough to later look it up on LinkedIn. That is a chance you should not take.  Having your business card and exchanging it ensures the other person will remember your name and position. They can keep your card on them, or they can later add you on LinkedIn through that. However, at the end of the day, you need to have a business card. It ensures a successful probability of a good outcome and is the traditional way to network, which helps when you are interacting with older professionals in the field.
