How to connect with people online
- Compliment people's work. Without being transactional, tell people when you admire their work.
- Don't compliment people's appearance. Instead, compliment them on the things they do and create.
- Respond to questions. Most people post questions because they want to start a conversation.
- Don't insert yourself into conversations between people you don't know. First, get to know at least one person.
- Be funny. If you find an opportunity to be funny, use it.
- Bring up information people will like.
- Don't argue with people you barely know.
