Giving away content has been important to my growth and building anything. Being helpful by providing content that actually is useful for others at no cost is a great way to build interest and get your name out there.

Yep. Just gotta keep it balanced so you don't get too many of the freebie seekers that add nothing to the communities we build.

This is so true. Relationships online or real life take trust, time, and effort. It’s a long game but definitely worth it.

Just be yourself is such underrated advice when it comes to social media. Find your people, have conversations, and build relationships.

Also, thanks for sharing my Note :)

I 100% agree with this. I've belonged to an affiliate marketing community since forever, and two of the main things I learned from there:

1. Reply to every person who comments on my work

2. Genuinely comment on other people's work without expecting anything back

These are the two best lessons I've learned because, as you said, it's all about forming relationships and building trust.

“I tried that”. I actually enjoy commenting. It’s not a tactic for me. Maybe it has to do with our personalities? It’s weird to view connection in my mind as a tactic because I’m typically empathetic. Maybe some people aren’t as much so they look at it as a task?
