Communities
Communities work really well if they are active and your topic is relevantBut there are rules and if you don’t follow them you’ll probably be ignored. Always read the ‘about’ post before you post anything.Always introduce yourself . It is best to do a lot of chatting and getting to know people before you hit them with your promotional post!Categorise your post – are you asking a question, introducing yourself or sharing something of value? Ask questions . A lot. Always reply to anyone who engages with you and tag (+1)_ them in your response, then they will be notified.
Communities are cool If you follow the rules…
