There is a right way and wrong way to introduce yourself especially on community forums.
Don’t fall into these two categories.
Empty Introduction
I think many of us are familiar with this one. They are usually one-liner, generic “Hi. I’m new to this forum. Thanks for having me.” or something close to that.
Spam Introduction
Again many have seen this because it’s an ad talking you instead of a introduction about who they are. Keep the links out of your introduction post. Many forums encourage signature links, so make sure you utilize this option.
First impressions count so use it to your advantage. You can inform without spamming or promoting.
One last thing if you’re in business and you want to make an online presence, please tell us your first name. You’re not obligated to tell us your age, your marital status or your first born’s birth weight.
What would you rather be called…by your first name or spammer?
