If this article about book inventory software were an infomercial, you'd be watching someone with a lovely accent explain how the right software will clean your house, wash your car, and help you win friends and influence people! Since this isn't an infomercial, though, let's be honest--you'll probably need to do those dishes yourself. But you might not be aware that the right book inventory software really can help you connect with other book lovers and make some new friends with similar interests.
Export Your Book Inventory
You've used great book inventory software that doesn't just list your books but fills in detailed information and lets you add custom fields, sort the books how you want and categorize to your heart's desire. Now you can export your book inventory to HTML. If that sounds far too complicated for you, don't worry. All that means is that with a few clicks the book inventory software turns your inventory into a web page!
Then it's easy enough to grab some free web space and upload that file (most free web hosts make this easy with a button you click, then you find the file on your computer and up it goes—no technical knowledge necessary). Then you can put the URL (or address) of your file in your email signature or send it to friends so they can see the books that you own.
If you interact in forums or message boards you can put that URL in your profile or even your signature if that particular board allows it. Announce that your book inventory is now online. If the forum has anything to do with books or literature, other people will be especially interested in what you're reading. This can spark great conversations about particular books, and even debates between those who disagree about a novel.
Your non-fiction books, as well as your audiobooks and ebooks will be listed as well if you choose the right book inventory software, and will help your visitors see what interests you. If you don't want to upload a webpage, you can email it to people, or export it to a mobile device to send to friends. Any of these methods are a great way to connect with friends (and make new ones) who share your love of books.
Other Book Inventory Software Users
The company that made your software should offer user forums so they can hear what their customers say about their software and can respond quickly to any problems. These forums are a great way to connect with other people who share your interests. Not only do you have a love of books in common, but you chose the same book inventory software!
People in a forum like this love to share their book inventories with other users and talk about the unique ways in which they use the book inventory software. You'll get great book tips and ideas about how you can better use all the great features in your book inventory software.
Make Some New Friends
As the years roll by, you realize that meeting new friends is just not your cup of tea any more. And you wonder what went wrong and when things changed, when things got complicated and when your past experiences began to affect your present relationships. And you wished to God that you could turn back the clock to those happy childhood days...
Those days when everything was simpler, when things were uncomplicated and when making friends was one of the easiest things you did when a smile, a nod, or just a gentle touch of the hand was all that was required to make a new friend.
Don't lose heart. There is hope yet. Perhaps you should take your cue from your neighbor's child. Put yourself in that child's shoes and you will see how easy it will become to meet new friends. As a child, things like color, creed, appearance, dimensions have no place while making new friends, only the goodness of the other person matters.
It's like I said earlier, just a smile or a glint in the eye that can forge some of the best friendships ever. See people for what they are and you will see that you have more friends than you can handle.
Now, let's assume you have just shifted to a new neighborhood. The delivery truck has just moved in and the packers are unloading your belongings. And as you reach out to pull a bag out of the truck, you notice a curious bystander watching every move.
What do you do? Erase any apprehensions and any preconceived notions that you may have. Instead, warm up, put a smile on your face and extend your hand in friendship. That's right, simply slip into a child's shoes and see how quickly you convert a mere bystander into your walking buddy or your gossip pal for the community events.
Another area where you can meet new friends is your workplace. However, a word of caution - be careful how you tread here. You won't want to jeopardize your work relationships because of any new friendships or vice versa. However, try and maintain a healthy balance and you will enjoy the fruits of both work and pleasure.
One useful tip is perhaps to meet new friends from other departments in your workplace. That ways you are not always in constant contact with each other to have any adverse bearings on your friendships and in fact will give your friendships plenty of room to grow.
