It is very important for the humans to make friends, to enjoy the life in society because Human is a social animal. If you share some thing with your friends then it relaxes you and minimizes your stress. Charles Horton Cooley in his book Life and the Student says at one place “Our individual lives cannot, generally, be works of art unless the social order is also.”

So you need friends in your life. You may have experienced many places when you need a friend, but not many of them would have helped you. So, it is necessary to choose a right friend in your path of life. This is also true for Social Media. You make friendship with people of similar taste and likes.

Friendship over on Internet is quite similar to friendship offline. You must know how to make friends on Social Media to get help and support from your friends. If you are eager to make quality friends on the social media then “The road to a friend’s house will be never long.” Here I am discussing some of the friend making advices which will propel you to become a good Social Media user.

Start with the Obvious: If the Social Media is a new thing for you then, tools like address book importing and search will make your way easy. You may be surprised, how many of your friends aren’t on the social media, or who signed up with different email addresses. E-mail and invite your friends to know about Social Media sites and add them to your list.

Make Your Profile Strong and Powerful: Many of the newbies send friend request to the others. If their profile is not properly managed then they create negative impression to the other users. A strong, well mannered and nice looking profile may attract others.

You must use a common avatar in your profile this proves that your profile is real and builds trust. Be careful in choosing profile avatars, use your original image or use the unique images which will make you remember to others.

You must also consider to mention your instant messaging contacts in your profile and if possible also mention your social media presence on other social media sites. This way your friends may find you on other Social Media sites.

A Friend’s Friend is Your Friend: Just as you’ll often run into one friend talking with another in the real world, chances are good your online friends have already linked up with other folks you know. Flip through their friends lists and you’re bound to run into somebody.

Background Research: New users are not aware about different strategies and tricks of social media optimization. So, study plays an important role in making friends.
1. Study the Profiles of friends.
2. Study the top user’s profiles.

Unique and Quality Submissions: You can attract many users by your exceptional submissions. If you are doing so, then many of the users will make you friend because you will provide them different types of content everyday.

Subscribe to quality sites which will provide you different contents everyday and you can choose them for submissions.

Participate in Discussions and Leave Comments on Other’s Submissions: Participating anywhere is a very great way to make people familiar to you. If you join any discussion and comment on any submission then people want to know who you are and visit your profile.

Send IM to Your Friends for Support: Keep the lines of communication open. Interacting with users and asking questions are extremely important in today’s Social Media. Not only does it build trust and allow users to learn from each other but it also can enhance your Social Media presence. Talk to your friends every day at least 10 minutes and interact with at least one new member everyday.

Subscribe to Submissions of Your Friends: Many of the times some of your friends do miss to tell about their submissions. So, subscribe to submissions of all your friends and vote for their submissions everyday. Also ask them to subscribe to your submissions.
