10 Posting Openings That "Connect You!"

If you want your online social networking postings to initiate interaction you really have to write your postings with that intent in mind. You don't get many characters to work with on most social networks, so you have to give a bit of thought to maximize your results!

One simple tip that helps is to write so that you "engage” your readers. You want them to read, relate and respond to you. If this seems difficult, try pretending they are sitting at your desk and just start "talking" to them. Put what you say in writing! Really helps to get the ball rolling! Just make sure no one is watching you from a far! :-)

Also you want to talk “with” not “at” or “to” your readers. Here are some "openings" that will help make it easy for you ...
