It can be daunting, confusing, scary even.<\/p>\n<p>We may think that we&#8217;re starting with nothing and that&#8217;s a scary prospect.<\/p>\n<p>But actually, we all already have a social circle. We just need to recreate it in a new place and grow upon that.<\/p>\n<p>This post was inspired by a question one of my clients asked me recently:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: <\/strong>How do I go about <strong>expanding<\/strong> my circle in a way that&#8217;s going to make sense to me?<\/p>\n<p>She totally on the right track with the notion of &#8220;<strong>circle<\/strong>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s what I said to her and thought would be useful for you, expanded and edited for you, my blog readers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A: Import<\/strong> your email accounts into Facebook and Twitter (and LinkedIn, if you like) and see which or your friends are already on these networks.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s the easiest place to begin.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>A Friend of Friend&#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Then I suggest you see who  your friends follow and see if they look like interesting people to you.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, that is the criterion I used when I first started:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Who is  interesting to me? Who is interesting to you? Who would you like to have a conversation, about what, and why?<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This interest can entirely be based on the things you like to  learn and to chat about: hobbies like cats, books, writing, travel, etc., things you think may advance your career or help you be a better writer.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ever-Expanding Concentric Circles<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I see building your platform or your list as ever-expanding <strong> concentric<\/strong> circles, a <strong>spiral<\/strong> even, starting with who you already know and who is  already on Twitter. (Or Facebook, Goodreads, whatever platform you&#8217;re  starting to use.)<\/p>\n<p>Then you connect with the friends of friends and some  on.<\/p>\n<p>It is never like shouting into the void  (unless you want it to be!)<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s always about linking with those you&#8217;re  already connected to in some way that you&#8217;re comfortable with and makes sense  to you.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>What You Don&#8217;t Want<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You may also want to be clear on who you don&#8217;t want to follow  &#8212; This is important information, and may be a place to start for many of you.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>I<\/strong>f you\u2019re curious to learn more about getting in action around social media and <strong>actually<\/strong> getting into action, check out my new course <a title=\"Social media Course for Fiction Authors starting April 11, 2011\" href=\"http:\/\/www.bethbarany.com\/wewritebooks\/courses.htm#soc\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>S<\/strong><strong>ocial Media for Fiction Authors<\/strong><\/a> starting June 20th! <em><strong>Space is limited!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>^*^<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m doing a countdown for my <strong>10 Social Media Tips for Authors<\/strong>.
