G+ Pro Tip: What to do after you introduce yourself in a community
Community owners and moderators love welcoming new members, it's true. What we love even more, though, is seeing those new members interacting within the community!!
You joined, you said hi, now go do something! Here are three ideas, think of it like being in a big networking event, where you introduce yourself to a group of people and then have to spend the rest of your time interacting with them:
1) Use the search tool to look for a burning question you have, maybe it was asked and answered already. If so, leave a comment on that post so show your appreciation.
2) Browse through the categories and leave comments on posts that interest you.
3) Check out the profiles of community members who pique your interest with their posts and comments. Add them to your circles so you can follow their posts outside the community too, and start to build a relationship.
This place is here for you, make use of it by being social and getting to know each other!

That is a great post Andrew Hatchett and spot on. Thanks to Stephan Hovnanian for encoraging community members, me included, to be better participants.
ReplyDeleteEasy as 1-2-3! I like these suggestions! I have done 2 and 3, but never think to use the community's search tool (beneath the "card" on the left-hand side). Thanks, Stephan Hovnanian !
