— Madalyn Sklar ? #SMMW18 Speaker (@MadalynSklar) February 15, 2018
A3. To create an authentic relationship you have to be authentic. I am a firm believer in being honest, open and real about where I am in my journey and not of the “fake it till you make it” mindset. #twittersmarter
— Alissa Carpenter (@NotOkThatsOk) February 15, 2018
A3: Be a giver. Nothing sets yourself apart more than by giving to your community and helping others. #ShowYouCare
And listen. Step back and listen. #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/EzAW3zvgop
— Madalyn Sklar ? #SMMW18 Speaker (@MadalynSklar) February 15, 2018
A3. It starts with yourself. Be authentic if you want authentic interaction.
Respond to their concerns. Share things that you think they'd be interested in. Ask questions about their expertise. You don't have to always be the expert. #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/8oB8BUOYL5
— Ben Sailors (@SailorsBen) February 15, 2018
A3: I don't think there are 'tips and tricks' for being authentic… you should know who YOU already are. Be THAT person on Twitter too. If you change who you are to build relationships, can they be authentic then? #TwitterSmarter
— ?JMatt (@JMattMke) February 15, 2018
A3: In the wise words of @garyvee: Care. You can't and shouldn't expect people to go out of their way to engage with your content if you aren't doing the same for theirs. Social is all about give and take. #TwitterSmarter
— Maria Marchewka (@_MariaMarchewka) February 15, 2018

— Lisa ???? Social Media Specialist (@lisaboylesmedia) February 15, 2018
A3 listen more than you talk. Don’t feign interest to “get” something from people. If you can’t find something to connect over, perhaps you should find someone where you can. #TwitterSmarter
— LUCYrk (@LUCYrk78) February 15, 2018
A3: Discover what people are positively responding too. Offer help and a solution along with being consistent. When you continue to post content that's authentic and offers value, then you will build trust and surround yourself with the right people. #TwitterSmarter
— Terry Schilling (@tschill86) February 15, 2018
A3 be consistent, engaging, helpful and genuine. Most of my time on Twitter isn't scheduled – I come on to do chats and answer people, or to find new interesting people to follow! #TwitterSmarter

A5 People are becoming more savvy and also more picky about their choices & preferences. When you reach out w/out a hidden agenda or sales targets on their back, they will respond.

— Zala Bricelj #SMMW18 here I come (@ZalkaB) February 15, 2018

— Alissa Carpenter (@NotOkThatsOk) February 15, 2018
A6: I ❤️❤️❤️ meeting people in person at conferences and events after I've gotten to know them online and especially through Twitter.
I think it's brilliant how @NotOkThatsOk sets up a virtual coffee. #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/pdSJqNOi6D
— Madalyn Sklar ? #SMMW18 Speaker (@MadalynSklar) February 15, 2018
A6: If I have engaged with certain individuals a couple of times and get the sense that we share the same ideas/expertise, I tend to reach out to collaborate on content. For events I like to reach out to basically everyone going haha! #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/vKcNeCEjXZ
— Katelyn Brower ? (@BrowerKDnB) February 15, 2018
A6 Plan with a few of your Twitter friends to meet on a #SocialRoadTrip. You'll be surprised how many are available. Meeting in person adds depth to relationships. #TwitterSmarter
— Jim Katzaman $ #LifeInsurance $ Worker #Benefits (@JKatzaman) February 15, 2018
A6. Our customer advisors take complaints into private messages almost immediately, and then escalate to phone if needed too.
On the side, I encourage like-minded social media managers to join my FB group too so they can grow as part of that community. #TwitterSmarter ? pic.twitter.com/JUXcuMvyQI
— Lisa ???? Social Media Specialist (@lisaboylesmedia) February 15, 2018

— Terry Schilling (@tschill86) February 15, 2018
A6 You definitely find who you connect with online and when the opportunity arises it's always nice to meet IRL when possible. #twittersmarter
— AJ Borowsky (@AskWhatNext) February 15, 2018
A6: Meetups at conferences are great. I also enjoy inviting people to the @GoDaddy offices I meet here since a large percentage of you are customers. Product teams love meeting them and our offices are fun. Hit me up when you visit #SanFrancisco #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/ySTwdmlnwA
— Stacey DePolo – save #NetNeutrality (@sdepolo) February 15, 2018
#twittersmarter A6 Conferences and festivals are great times to reach out and meet in real life.
— Jeavonna (@jchapstk) February 15, 2018
A6: You taught me through what you and your team does, Madalyn. You reach out through direct messages and Twitter video replies. The video really humanizes the interaction. I feel so special and feel more connected to the person sending the video. #TwitterSmarter
— Darcy De Leon ??? Blog Editor (@darcydeleon) February 15, 2018
A6. #twittersmarter
When you have made a connection with like minded people (on a personal/professional level) that organically has evolved, trust and mutual respect have been established its only natural to take it offline – whether that is in person or virtually. https://t.co/GxjeOVz34r
— Natasha G. (@nplusg) February 15, 2018
A6: After you identify that a relationship is viable, invite them to communicate further. DMs work for continuing conversation, but email and LinkedIn adds are great for long-term networking + preparing for contracts/collaborations/scheduling meetings, etc. #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/3hT1N0Cg5Y
— Bria Charlei Baylor (@Impact_Write) February 15, 2018
Q7: What are the most common fails people make in nurturing online relationships? #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/BVn4UdGSPv
— Madalyn Sklar ? #SMMW18 Speaker (@MadalynSklar) February 15, 2018
A7. Relationships take time to build (virtual or in person). If someone hasn’t gotten back to you, give them time and then reach out again. Be persistent but not insistent. #twittersmarter
— Alissa Carpenter (@NotOkThatsOk) February 15, 2018
A7: Biggest fail is using automated DMs, not being real and authentic, using a face account. Be real. Be you. Period! #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/VESRRSmoV1
— Madalyn Sklar ? #SMMW18 Speaker (@MadalynSklar) February 15, 2018
A7 Most people fail in making relationships online because they want to scale it, quality wins over quantity. #twittersmarter
— Ross Quintana (@Ross_Quintana) February 15, 2018
A7. Assuming that the relationship will always be there. Neglecting relationships online can be just as damaging as neglecting them in real life. Be polite. Use etiquette. Ignoring people who reach out says a lot about a person. #twittersmarter https://t.co/BWXAbmpt8r
— Ben Sailors (@SailorsBen) February 15, 2018
A7 Lack of follow-up or abandonment is the biggest relationship fail online or off. Social media is not a one-night stand. #TwitterSmarter
— Jim Katzaman $ #LifeInsurance $ Worker #Benefits (@JKatzaman) February 15, 2018
A7 I am not a fan of the automated DM. It makes me crazy to get one when I have followed you. #twittersmarter
— Suzanne Brown (@mompowerment) February 15, 2018
A7: When you think the more the better (more promotion, more broadcasting) – No, stop & "smell the roses", listen and serve #twittersmarter
— Sabrina Cadini (@SabrinaCadini) February 15, 2018
A7 Do you best to follow up. Respond and give a signal back when time allows. I remember my friend @CardozaGab saying "Silence speaks." Sometimes louder than words, actually #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/8YTTvedA8u
— Zala Bricelj #SMMW18 here I come (@ZalkaB) February 15, 2018
A7: Being persistent, too many times we build a strong foundation and lose touch. I know communication is a two-way street but stay engaged and continue to initiate conversation, you will find them starting to take initiative more too. #TwitterSmarter
— Tweyen Inc. (@TweyenInc) February 15, 2018
A7: Don't drop the ball. Be sure you don't leave your new connection hanging in mid-conversation. #twittersmarter
— Laura Denny (@ldcreativemedia) February 15, 2018
A7. Relationships are work and you can't make just make instant friendship forever and expect that's it. Nurture through greeting, establish common interest and ease into the nature of your interest. #TwitterSmarter
— Dr. Dorrie Cooper (@sittingpretty61) February 15, 2018
A7. Take take take. Relationships should be based on trust and giving before you take. #twittersmarter
— Anna Scheller (@SchellerAnna) February 15, 2018

A8: Be true to yourself. #twittersmarter
— Terry Jones (@tjones382) February 15, 2018
A8. Respond. If someone reaches out, even just to say hi, respond. Jump on those opportunities.
For initiating, just go out on a limb, and if you get a respond, great. If not, shrug it off. More than likely it's not personal. #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/UpFJWS21Sh
— Ben Sailors (@SailorsBen) February 15, 2018
A8 Don't be a person of many personalities. Be the same person online and off. It's easy when you don't have to think about which role you're playing. #TwitterSmarter
— Jim Katzaman $ #LifeInsurance $ Worker #Benefits (@JKatzaman) February 15, 2018
A8. #twittersmarter
Authenticity.
Respect.
Mindfulness.
Be present.
Care. https://t.co/xibbyjyzIV— Natasha G. (@nplusg) February 15, 2018
A8: Online / offline, there's no difference – Be you, say hi and engage, be there – Social media is supposed to be "social" #twittersmarter
— Sabrina Cadini (@SabrinaCadini) February 15, 2018
A8. Be a listener. Then understand the other person. Then offer feedback in a positive and constructive way. Be caring and kind. Think long term. #TwitterSmarter
— Gene Petrov // Leadership & Management Consulting (@GenePetrovLMC) February 15, 2018

— ?JMatt (@JMattMke) February 15, 2018
A8: Don't overdo it.#TwitterSmarter
