I often find these extremely in depth communities with a lot of potential however they are all overwhelmed by one unavoidable component. SPAM!!!

<p>I often find these extremely in depth communities with a lot of potential however they are all overwhelmed by one unavoidable component. SPAM!!!</p>
<p>Maybe it&#8217;s too much to ask for people to genuinely want to connect with other individuals from their industry. I guess there are people out there that think the old method of &#8216;copy and paste my ad into as many profiles comments section as possible&#8217; actually works.</p>
<p>When are people going to start catching on that people are becoming desensitized to in your face advertising. In an on-demand world &#8230; why do I even need to give your ad a second thought.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s how it actually goes down&#8230;</p>
<ul>
<li>Person wants a service</li>
<li>Person Googles or asks a friend where to find best service</li>
<li>Person chooses based off of friends feedback and Google results</li>
</ul>
<p>THAT&#8217;S IT!!!!</p>
<p>So it&#8217;s your job to become either the result on Google or the company that person&#8217;s friend recommends. Do this through quality honest interaction with other individuals.</p>
<p>FOR EXAMPLE</p>
<p>I had just joined a community by and for printers and within minutes had recieved numerous solicitations to buy peoples service&#8217;s. How about instead of spamming you:</p>
<ul>
<li>Ask me how I wish to use the community</li>
<li>Find out what line of work I am in</li>
<li>Establish in what way you can help me</li>
</ul>
<p>It&#8217;s called a conversation &#8230; it goes both ways&#8230; so join in</p>
