The keyboard and the mouse have come to be part of my life. This is because I value online friendship. Now you're asking yourself if it's worthy and you probably saying that it's a total waste of time. By the way, you are not the only person with such sentiments.
There are many people with question marks in their minds regarding such kind of friendship. My offline friend said a negative word when I checked in at my favorite social site to have a chat with my online friend. She never values such kind of friendship but in my heart I know how it has helped me so far.
From my experience I have gained all along, it has really taught me a lot. You see, I have known so many things of which I never knew. I get to communicate with a friend from Japan, USA, India, Canada, South Africa, Australia and many other locations. In fact, I end up knowing vital news from those places before they are aired on our local television.
The experience is full of fun even though I know I will never get to see my online friends face to face or even step my feet in those countries. There is no point of one being shy or otherwise shunning from online friendship; the people you get to interact with are friendly. At times, you have got no person to talk with. So, why be bored while there are many friendly people online whom you can chat with?
In businesses, online friendship can be of great help. For instance marketers can know what products are profitable and which ones are in demand. This kind of friendship has led many marketers to sell their products and services. An affiliate marketer may form online friendship with other affiliate marketers. This helps her to know exactly what works and what doesn't after chatting with other marketers through social sites.
Seven Do's and Don'ts when Making Online Friendship
1. Don't do sales pitch. Sending them many frequent emails about your products hurts them.
2. Use a friendly language. I mean words that are not offending. They cherish you if you watch your words.
3. Nurture and cherish your friendship. You can do this by sending gifts, jokes, quotes and poems. Social networking sites have got all these wonderful jokes, poems, quotes and gifts.
4. "A friend in need is a friend indeed." Be helpful always. Exchange ideas wherever they ask for solutions. Be part of helpful and social community.
5. Don't create multiple accounts (profiles.) Just have one account.
6. Appreciate what they write on their page (wall.) You do this by commenting on their tweets.
7. Don't give a false title to yourself. If they discover this, then they abandon your online friendship.
Now you have the do's and don'ts, go ahead and have fun online.
