I find this a good one:
4.) Give away your own knowledge.

We have had alot of success with an ebook which we even have in print now. Kind of funny as at times you forget how limited your knowledge was in certain areas when you started out, and how much you have learnt over the years and how much this info can help others.

Great article. I’m glad to see number 3. Story telling is such a great way to connect.

A comment on number 1. I’ve always viewed it flipped from the way it’s stated. Always create content that’s right for the crowd you’re in.

So I join every network I can and study it. If I can shape my message and contribution to fit I do it. If not I have a placeholder for when I can.

Heads and tails of the same coin I think.

Thx for the great article.

Nowa days social media is THE key for a good site and due to this alot of the main stream ones get flooded.

As mentioned in point it is vital to join the one specific to your needs; but don’t forget that some of the smaller ones niche ones such as mixx and sphinn have greater ‘weight’ attached the categories they ‘major’ in.

Thanks for the great feedback, gang. A couple quick replies:

@Garrett — I’ve bookmarked a handful of articles about headlines in my delicious account. Some of these might help:

@Dana - thank you. In my first draft of this article, I did make mention of “be real, be authentic” … but somehow that got lost in the final version. Darn. This should be 13 tips, not 12. That’s a great addition.

Thanks again for the excellent conversation here.

This is a “just in time” post for me.

I just checked my email and saw where I picked up another Twitter follower… and I’m not a Twitter user. So I was just wondering if I should open Twitter and start using it… because a few people are now “following” me. Then I came here and read your opening line…. “Pick and choose your social communities wisely.”

THANK YOU!!!

Twitter isn’t a great “story telling” tool and I have to agree, I’ve seen a lot more “action” on posts and articles when I share stories instead of teach lessons.
