More often than not people will come off fake, or some reactions may be reserved since we are not all the same. We can’t take rejection personally nor can we put on the happy personality too thick. There is a balance. If you actively use social networks you can’t help but interact with your readers, followers, etc.

Be genuine, honest, and keep in mind it’s okay to ask questions. Sometimes they’ll answer and sometimes they won’t. Don’t take it personally, keep in mind it’s your opportunity to be consistent in what and how you present yourself. Follow a certain strategy and try it for 3 months. Maybe it could be to post on your blog twice a month. Or sharing videos with your readers every Thursday…or any other 100 million ideas you can come up with.

It has to become part of your language, your commitment to the cause, the goal, while asking, listening, and watching. The other suggestion that a lot of people forget to mention is STOP and take the time to look at their work. Your followers, readers, fans. Do you take the time to see what interests them? You don’t have to do a major research analysis, but maybe a few hours a week take a look at your readers, fans, etc. support their blog, RT their posts. Eventually this pays off.

In conclusion from an organic content developers perspective those people, companies you do connect with will become your best fans and advertisement naturally, what’s not to love?

I am getting a bit more from Facebook, but a trickle of readers really. So far I still have not worked out any “easy” way to get people to engage in a page if they are totally new to it.
