Creating an Online Presence

  1. How to Get Popular on the Internet Picture 1
    Understand why do you want to get popular. Be absolutely certain that you want to be a popular online presence. With popularity comes loss of peace, the inability to move around quietly and a need to maintain a great reputation in your chosen field of popularity. This can add up to a lot of effort, especially if you're not being paid for it and have to keep that day job up. It can also erode your humility and cause you to behave in ways that aren't entirely you and can lead to dissatisfaction. If you're okay with this, proceed with the next steps.

    Join plenty of social networking sites. Start with the well known ones, such as Twitter, Facebook and the like. Then tailor your online presence to the area for which you're keen to be known, such as graphic design, scene fashion, smoothies-maker extraordinaire, medical explanations guru, or whatever it is. Find a blog, website, portal, forum, etc., where you can make the most of your talents and start creating your presence there through adding information, interacting and being around a lot.

Being the Kind of Person Others Love to Connect With

  1. Be unique. If you're copying everyone else, there is a good chance that you're not going to be seen or heard about. Few people are keen to see the same, same. Thus, think of a new trend, or try something that nobody has done before, even if it's a common topic done very differently.

    Be nice. And be genuinely nice, not just putting on an act.
    1. If you want to be known as grumpy and gruff, don't chop and change by pretending to be nice one minute, then horrible the next. Get your brand straight.
  3. How to Get Popular on the Internet Picture 7
    Join sites that have forums. Then be available and interactive, so that people can get to know you and trust in you.
    1. Be aware that this is likely to chew up your time considerably. Be careful what discussions you get involved in; keep it light, friendly and caring.
  4. How to Get Popular on the Internet Picture 8
    Add friends. When you're on social websites, add many friends. Have a big list of them! Because the friends of your friends will start adding you, and you'll get more and more well known.
  5. Provide valuable updates, insights and information. People are thirsty for good content, not self-love. Give them something they're keen to watch, read or listen to. Introduce them to interesting things on a regular basis. Bring together the energies of other people whose work and updates add value to yours, so that you spread around support for others online.
