Social Media Limits: How Far Does Your Freedom Go?-Part Four {1.5-Minute Read}

          

   

•            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.
