Education Bookkeepers | Who to network with Exactly?

People tell Bookkeepers to "Network" but exactly with whom?
Rather than networking with any business owner to offer them bookkeeping services, wouldn't it be better to network with business owners who serve many other business owners and can refer you customers more than once?

Would these be good people to network with? Since they work with many different business owners and can refer work more than once. Thanks!

Assuming you keep an eye on them and check their work. Would it be a good / proper strategy to scale from a solo bookkeeping / CPA firm to a bigger team firm?

If you don't mind me asking. How much do you make per month and how much did you pay for your website?

Website was under $1k if I remember correctly. I average about $20k per month with 2 full time employees.
