Support your friends online

Today I want to talk a little bit more about your friends that might be doing some sort of online enterprise. No matter what it is, content creation, or trying to expand their business online, between so many other things that people do on the internet.

It is super important for you to show them love and support. No matter how large or small is their following. No matter how well they are doing.

It is your job to give them an extra push and try to get them as far as they can.

What do I mean with supporting your friend online?
You MUST like their posts, drop comments and share it with your contacts. More than ever, engagement is the key to get seen. So the more you engage, the bigger are the chances that whatever they do get seen by new people that are not in your circles and the bigger the chances to get discovered all around the world.

And I don't mean to do it once or twice. No matter how annoying and how much they post, You HAVE to always engage. Because the internet also is a monster that is always asking for continuous content to be out, so they will be active but you need to multiply their engagement.

Because when they post, if they get no engagement, their position in the algorithm gets push back and nothing of what they do gets seen.

You might be saying: "But I like all their posts everywhere"

That is not enough. Maybe 5 or more years ago, likes where the "measure of success" and were the way that social media platforms pushed content.

Nowadays it is always about the comments and the time you spend on each of their posts.

Maybe you are not even the biggest fan of the art they do, or the products they are selling. But I am pretty sure there are nothing wrong with them. So, even if that is the case. What should you do?

Exactly, show your support. Because that initial support until they can get things picking up and reaching more people and the crowd that is supposed to reach, it is your "job" to make that effort so they can succeed.

Your friends might not ever talk about it, they might never ask you for help. But they will for sure have those moments when they think that if even your friends are not showing them love, how will others do.

And that can be very demotivating.

In resume, this post could just be a couple of lines. Support your friends on their online ventures by liking, commenting and sharing their posts, their content or their online businesses.

I really hope this can be helpful to you and that will be a reminder. Now if you have friends that are not very supportive. Maybe share this and they might take the hint.

And if they never do, maybe they are not your tribe and you might also need to meet new people and who knows make new friends. That could also be another thing that have to happen.

Well, I have isolated myself away from all online social media’s.
I give 0 energy to anything but hive.
lol, I’m not even such a huge hivian…. But I decided to not waste any more of my precious time alive giving my meta data to corporate social medias.

I do understand what you are saying though, but my online friends will need to find algorithm support without this Butt 🤪

I get your point. After trying and trying and having such small results and not being able to breakthrough it gets really hard. I am exhausted. I completely get what you mean.
