- Do: Verify Your Friends or Followers
“Do
you know this person?” You might have seen that question on Facebook after
trying to send a friend request one time or another. Unfortunately, Facebook’s
so big on networking that just by clicking “Confirm” you will be let in.
The
job left now is for the other person to confirm your request. Let’s say the
other person is you.
Not
everyone who requests to be friends is genuine. There are a lot of spammers out
there and the first step to being a victim is letting them in. That Maggie who “checked
your profile and liked your photos” and now wants your email address is a
problem. Not a secret admirer.
Beware
who follows your on Twitter. Make sure your connections on LinkedIn are genuine
and people who are there to exchange. Not just take.
- Do: Be the Friend First
What
happens after you gain that follow-back? What’s next now that we are friends? Most
of the time we forget about the relationship once that request is confirmed or
that “bigwig” follows you back.
Someone
wants to know how the quail industry has been since the hype. You are making an
average of 20k a week from your quails back home. Do you tell them how good it
is or do you just assume it’s not directed to you?
The
point is…
Help
people out where you can. We are social beings and that’s a compliment. Make sure
you deserve it. It’s the whole point of being on Google+, Twitter, Facebook and
any other networking site. Be that friend someone is proud of and you will get
many friends.
