We are all in the wave at some point. The key to growing your network and community is to build it slowly and with people that make a difference for you and also you can make a difference with too. Social media is not a number game where quantity oversees quality. I have made such great contacts through social media that I build upon. I love to introduce people and see them chatting away and helping one another.

Thanks so much for this Suzanne. I am pretty much at the “wave” stage with building my community. It feels good to slowly build the quality relationships and not worry about the quantity (that being said, I am not sure if there is anyone with LESS followers than me..) At least you have provided a roadmap for what I can expect if I keep at it. Be nice. Share. Retweet. Repeat.

Thanks,
Nanci

[...] It is easier to continue with a “daily routine” as who wants to venture out to the unknown? Social media is not new but how it is incorporated and maintained for many small businesses is. It takes time to optimize, rank and build relationships where going to an event is almost a different feeling of time spent. For many we drive the same route, go to the same hot spot for our coffee and if we have to deviate, we feel out of place. This is no different than sitting in front of the computer or venturing out to networking events – if we are not accustomed to it, we feel out of place and are unsure of we will be accepted. [...]

thanks for dropping in and commenting. Letting people know you are there and are there to stay is the beginnings of forming a relationship. People notice, it just takes time to see where you will fit in.

Following your sensible advice

Nice labels for the behaviour – but people don't necessarily do this in stages. If I'm followed on Twitter, for example, and I see that this person has quality tweets, I'll DM thanks straight away. And if I need an expert or to recommend someone, I'll DM too.

We needn't be shy!

There you go again teasing us about Cancun. Social media, being titled social, is about building relationships and being a part of a community that talks to one another. Blogs, twitter, FB, LI, etc allow us to create portfolios to share information about us that we want people to know and that gives people a sense of who we are – but does not give a green light to be immediate friends. It does take time as yes we want to be friends with the industry leaders as they are well respected but they got there by working hard and building relationships with people. We see over and over again people asking for things from people instead of just thanking them for what they do. We have seen it time and time again where the people who do more for others get the recognition.

Thanks for dropping in!
