Face it, as humans we like to be liked. Whether it’s at a party, in our family, at work must of us want the people around us to like us. And the same holds true online on social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter.
What people forget is that the same rules that apply in real life work online too. Once people genuinely like you, they’re much more likely to trust you and buy from you.
So I just had to share this post with you from my friend Natalie Sisson, Founder of The Suitcase Entrepreneur (and amazing Ultimate Frisbee champion!).
Get Anyone to Like You
By Natalie Sisson
I thought this was an appropriate topic given how social media has changed our ability to engage with our customers and clients online, and yet many are still struggling with popularity vs. being genuinely liked.
If you want people to like you, make them feel good about themselves. This works every time – guaranteed! It's very straightforward. If I meet you and make you feel good about yourself, you will like me.
You will then seek every opportunity to see me again to replicate that same good feeling you felt the first time we met and do almost anything for me.
Ironically we don't use this powerful technique enough because we are usually focused on ourselves and not others. Change that and change your business.
