		<description>I definitely agree with what you&#039;ve said here - and try to do it as much as I can (and explain this to clients). I see social media as no different from any other venue for communication in that you should make an effort to help people regardless of their present &quot;value&quot; to you.  It&#039;s also critical to remember to be engaging and provide something of interest.  Otherwise why will people continue to follow?  

Beyond thinking &quot;what&#039;s in it for me?&quot; it&#039;s imperative that you understand there needs to be something in it for others.  And that there&#039;s not always a direct purpose or agenda to every interaction.  Is there in &quot;real life&quot;? (How sickening it would be if that was the case...)</description>
