Think Before Trying to Build Relationships

Here’s one: before trying to build your audience, THINK about who your audience should be, figure out where THEY are, and then go find them. If you think it’s interesting to me, tell me. If you just think it’s interesting, that *might* be interesting to me, but it also might not.

Further, relationship-building comes from people getting to know you. It comes from you contributing to the communities you hope to join. Get to know me and understand what makes me happy before you try to push your stuff on me. Especially if it’s not really a fit.

And me=you, if you think about it. Right?
