How to get more fans on social media

Everyone wants to have great big profiles on social media with many fans and friends. This is not hard. Herefriendship.jpg are some tips that I learned in time.

- Don’t be a hater

This may be the most important aspect. Being a hater isn’t good at all. It’s true, you can’t just like everything you see on digg, sphinn,stumbleupon,reddit and so on, but not liking everything … this is a big problem! You are definitely frustrated. So cut off this attitude, be nice. I am talking about social media, the keyword is social so you must get in touch with others, be nice and make friends!

- Don’t be desperate

Let’s say that you like someone’s activity there on a social media, you add him as a friend and then you beg him to add you as a friend too. No, this is not the way to do it! First, just introduce yourself, something like “Hey, I liked your profile so I added your as a friend. I had a good laugh reading …” talk more with him or her and the chances are big to become mutual friends.

- Get involved in discussions

Getting involved in discussions is very important. On stumbleupon you can find some nice targeted groups and discuss with people that have same preferences as you, this way you could gather some more friends and fans. Digg, sphinn, don’t have groups like that but there is no problem! Comment on the articles you liked, many times there will be “hot” discussions on some. Get involved in them! Let your voice be heard because your opinion does matter!

Just follow these steps and you’ll see the good results coming, hit me with a comment or e-mail if you have any more tips regarding this.

  1. Interesting post. Wicked.

  2. One thing that happened to me, is I added as many friends as possible in the beginning. So, now that I’ve reached the 200 friend mark - I can’t add anymore. Occasionally I’ll drop friends in order to add new friends who have become a fan of me.

  3. And once you made some friends an Digg, make sure you make them friends an Sphinn, StumpleUpon, etc. as well.

  4. Good point Malte! I forgot to mention that. Once you have a good powerful profile on a social media, don’t forgot to put some links there to your other profiles. This way you will gather some more fans on your smaller profiles. If a guy likes your activity on digg, be sure he will like your activity on stumbleupon too.
