How should I respond when new followers join my social media?

Send them a personal thank-you message and ask an engaging question that relates to your work. For example, if you’re a photographer, ask ‘What do you like about my photography? Which niche appeals to you most?’ This starts a conversation and gives you valuable insight into what attracted them. Many people will respond to genuine outreach, and their answers help you understand your audience better and tailor future content to what they’re already interested in.
