It Goes Down In The Dm
You ever heard of attraction networking?
'Nah, what is that?'
It's basically when you provide value & others come to you.
They become magnetized aka attracted.
'Wow! How can I do that?'
By leveling up.
Picture a karate expert.
You think they just have kicks?
'Nah.'
Then what do they have?
'They have kicks, punches, defense moves, take downs etc.'
Correct, they are multifaceted.
Attraction networking is a part of being multifaceted in networking.
However, it will only happen if you are consistent.
Before you attract, you must be proactive.
The DM (direct message) is a weapon on the internet.
It is an amazing way to forge relationships.
I remember when i was just starting on Twitter, i jumped into WesternMastery's DM.
Had engaged with him a few times & thought, eh why not.
At the time I had 80 followers and he had 8000.
Colossal difference.
But dude was humble.
He gave me tips, ideas & answered questions.
But he took it one level further.
He even opened his website so I could do a guest blog.
At the time, a big account putting his name behind mine gave me some credibility.
It gave me the opportunity to be taken seriously.
All that happened, because I said 'fuck it, i'm going to DM him.'
It was a case of being proactive.
And being proactive helped build a social opportunity out of thin air.
For the next few weeks, I decided to hop in more DMs.
Not to ask for anything. But just to tell someone when I admired their work.
This was a good way to build relationships behind the scenes.
As my account grew, something changed.
Rather than being proactive a lot, I was beginning to attract.
Now I had DMs from others.
Small and MASSIVE accounts.
It was an added move in the karate arsenal.
Attraction networking.
This post isn't to brag or anything like that.
But it is to tell you to use social media to be social.
Stunning insight, right?
Big accounts may not get back to you because they are flooded, but at least you tried.
Who knows, they may get back to you like WesternMastery got back to me.
Be the person who can make it happen behind the scenes.
You've heard that life is a game of shaking the right hands.
Well, guess what?
On social media, it's a game of tapping into the right minds.
Also, connect with people in the same stage as you.
They are learning & figuring the game out in a given field just like you.
That's a great way to build an accountability partner.
Too many people use social media for nonsense nowadays.
I know because I used to be one of them.
Your boy was watching Worldstar, following DaQuan memes & watching funny YouTube videos.
But that time has passed.
This is the golden era of information.
There's a time for play sure.
But there's also a time to take care of business.
Use this post as inspiration to begin networking more behind the scenes.
Linkedin, Instagram, Twitter, Email etc.
Go thru the no responses to find the right people.
Your ability to navigate around the DM will test your digital social skills.
Add this move into your arsenal.
And soon, others will be attracted to you like a magnet.
