People tend to share or brag things about themselves or their business on social media platforms, but rarely share vulnerable parts of them. When all you see is this kind of content, you get bored or sick of those meaning-less content. So the likes and comments under the social posts are all pointless as you can’t really get to know the real person.
Taking a step back from the likes/shares/comments on the public-facing social posts, when you reached out to the person privately in direct message, now conversation gets more personal, and people are also willing to share more personal parts of their stories, which makes them more human.
But the reason issue with direct message with expectation that the message sent out needs to be replied back soon, well at least I think most people think this way. So it’s not best way if you really wants to have a deep and meaningful conversation with someone.
If that doesn’t work? then what? There are two approaches that I think will work better.
E-mail #
We communicate by email only, and set a ground rule about that it’s absolutely not requiring the person receiving the email to reply back soon, just take their time and response when they’re ready, so we’ll get rid of the pressure of someone feeling pressured of not replying soon enough.
Blog Post #
We have response our idea with a blog post and ping the person that the post blog is intended to be read, and vise versa, the other person can do so as well, either talking about same topic and or not.
