Platform Building: Engage in a “week of replies”


On social media as well as on your blog, make a point of replying to as many people as possible. If a follower, reader, or visitor has taken the time to say something or ask a question – get in there and offer a reply. If nothing else, this will build a sense of community and boost your followers’ sense of relationship with you.
