\"SocialIs it harder to develop relationships online than offline?<\/p>\n

Yes it is.<\/p>\n

When you meet someone in person, you can look into their eyes and talk to them. You can really get a sense of the person.<\/p>\n

When you meet someone online, you are limited to seeing just what they have posted online.<\/p>\n

So, if you want to develop relationships online, then you need to do something more.<\/p>\n

Here are a few quick tips to help you get started:<\/p>\n

1) Develop relationships one at a time<\/h3>\n

How do you develop relationships? One at a time!<\/p>\n

One of the most effective ways to communicate with people on Facebook and other social media sites is to send them a private message.<\/p>\n

Keep your messages short and end with a question.<\/p>\n

I get too many messages from people who just spew details about their business in the first message. Keep it brief and focus on making a connection.<\/p>\n

When you ask a question, it starts a dialogue. You want to have a series of short messages back and forth. This allows you to develop trust and rapport.<\/p>\n

2) Have a system for contacting people<\/h3>\n

You need a simple system that will help you keep track of who to contact and who you have contacted.<\/p>\n

I love spreadsheets for their simplicity.<\/p>\n

Make a top ten list of people to contact and get started.<\/p>\n

Add to your list over time.<\/p>\n

Make a note after you have made contact.<\/p>\n

Depending on the results, follow up in 60 to 90 days.<\/p>\n

3) Move conversations offline over the phone<\/h3>\n

You can only accomplish so much online.<\/p>\n

At a certain point, it makes sense to take the conversation offline.<\/p>\n

Suggest that you talk by phone.<\/p>\n

This is a great way to develop the relationship and accomplish more.<\/p>\n
