1) Be a part of the community, not a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
Join communities to be a PEER, not to get something from people.

2) Help people.
You don't even need to be an expert to help people.
Saying thanks to someone and explaining how they've helped you is an underrated help to the person posting, and the community.
Even just liking a comment helps the author get more visibility.

3) Be SEEN to help people.
Rampant in Facebook groups is where people ask for help and get a load of "DM me" responses.
That's a missed opportunity.

Thank me later.

4) Be seen by COMMUNITY OWNERS helping people in their community.
Be the type of person they want in their community.
(Do NOT do this as a sneaky tactic to get on someone's radar. People can sense intention.)

I’ve lost count of the number of groups and forums I've joined where the group owner reaches out and thanks me for helping the group and increasing engagement.
