Maybe you guys can make something clear for me. How can a person complain that social networking is no good and it does nothing for your business, but then when you ask if they are trying to communicate they say no. Uhhh…. Social Networks do not fail, but your efforts do. You cannot complain about people not communicating with you if you don’t reach out and try to communicate with them.
Here’s the bottom line…
The point of a social network is to “socialize.” Regardless of if you are using a social network for personal pleasure or business purposes you have to learn how to communicate with people. Trust me, the people on the other side of the screen are not going to jump out of your computer screen and bite you. And if you are planning to use social networks for business then you really have to learn how to communicate with people. How else do you expect to drive traffic, convert connections into paying customers, and make more money?
So if you fall into this group then here are some tips for becoming more social on social networking websites:
- Don’t wait for somebody to say something to you first, you can start a conversation off.
- Always respond to messages and comments as soon as possible.
- Spend a couple of seconds to ask how someone’s day is going, you may get it from time to time in return.
- Send get well wishes when you notice someone in your social network is sick.
- Don’t forget to respond to birthday notifications, people will love the fact that you even remembered.
- Just be friendly and share a joke or to.
This will not only make you a little more social on social networking sites, but they will also help you to build relationships which is what you want.
