  2. Share a photo or set of photos. example
  3. Share a recent blog post of yours, or better yet of a friend. example
  4. Launch a new product and listen to the conversation around it.
  5. Ask a question, and you might just get a fix or answer.
  6. Promote an event that you’re attending to find other people going.
