Followers are people too

That's the name of the presentation given by Clayton Dosier at A Leg Up yesterday. If you weren't there, then you really missed out!

All of us have fans, or followers, on our social media pages. And Clayton says to treat them like people...not just numbers. So, how do you do that?

First, you have to reach out to them...maybe in messenger. Then you need to:

• Love on 'em
• Give first
• Be compelling
• Ask questions
• Be conversational
• Talk to one person

But what does all of that mean?

Treat them like friends. Give them something of value before you ask something of them. People will lose interest if you're boring. Ask questions to keep the conversation going. Don't make your conversation too general. 

Also, you want to build a deeper relationship with the followers that you have before you go out to find new followers...deep then wide.

There was quite a bit more to the presentation. If you want to find out what he had to say, then reach out to Clayton!
