A few friendly tips on how to increase your Social Media Presence

Recently a friend asked me how I developed so many followers on my social media accounts. When I say followers I mean people to actively comment a respond to post. There are many people who have thousands of friends and none of them ever comment or respond to post. Therefore they are not really "active followers" or what I call "true followers".  As I pondered the question I came up with a few tips to help people increase their social media following. Here are tips that have worked for me and my hopes is that they can help you out as well.  Be REAL, Be YOU!  People can sense when someone is being fake, even via the internet.
