How Do You Find Support In Online Communities?
Making connections with people online can be a greet way to find support, share common interests and meet new people. Family and friends are the best for companionship and support, but it is nice to have access to support online around the clock and in a more anonymous setting if you prefer it. Whether you’re looking for a weight loss support group, frugal living forum, advice about parenting or a host of other topics, you can find it somewhere online. Here’s how to find support in online communities. Turn first to online communities where you already have a presence. Since people are wary of newbies in many online settings, you’ll find the support you need faster if you’re an established or older member. Don’t worry if you haven’t posted much; just having an older date on your membership profile will help you out. Reply to other members’ posts and build up the online community to which you turn to for support. Offer advice and support for others and you’ll find it comes back to you. L
