2. How can we cultivate relationships online?

Included in this episode

1. Consistently show up.

   • Don’t overcommit. Instead, think: “What can we commit to, and how can we show up consistently?”
   • This comes back to relationships. If you want a thriving relationship with a person or group of people, you have to consistently show up & do the right things.
   • Your consistency will help your audience show up consistently, too.

2. Cultivate engagement

   • People will engage with you if you engage with them.
   • Sow generously into engagement with others.

3. The Conversation Framework

   • Create thoughtful content:
     • Think: “How do I add value with this content?”
     • Think: “How do I make this content engaging?”
     • These help you get into an audience-first mindset.
   • Encourage and invite reaction and engagement with your audience.
     • Ask questions & tell them to comment!
     • Create a conversation out of every comment. Don’t *just* respond, build a relationship!
     • Take those conversations, and move them over to direct messages
