Deciding who to connect with on social media can depend on several factors, such as your personal or professional goals, interests, and the nature of the social media platform. Here are some general tips to consider: Identify your goals: Determine why you want to connect with others on social media. Is it for personal reasons, such as keeping in touch with friends and family, or for professional reasons, such as expanding your network or finding job opportunities? Once you have a clear goal, you can narrow down your search for people to connect with. Research: Use search tools within the platform to find people who share similar interests, or who are experts in a particular field. You can also browse through suggested connections or check out who your existing connections are connected with. Engage: Before sending a connection request, engage with the person's content by liking or commenting on their posts. This can help you build a relationship with the person and show that you're genuinely interested in their content. Evaluate: Consider the person's profile, content, and interactions before sending a connection request. Do their values and interests align with yours? Are they active on the platform? Will they add value to your network? Be selective: Don't feel obligated to connect with everyone who sends you a request, especially if you don't know them or if their content doesn't align with your goals or interests. It's better to have a smaller, more targeted network than a large, unengaged one. Bob Friedenthal 310-736-5787 Mobile bob@mycity.com Join mycity.com for Free!
