'Inbox Etiquette'






Hello friends.
How has your week been?

It's attitude Friday again and today we'll look at 'Inbox etiquettes.'

With the advent of the social media came with the chat features that allows people on most social media platforms to have a one-on-one conversation with their friends or whoever it is that they want to converse with.

While this is a very effective and nice way of getting to know people and have meaningful discussions with them, it has also been subjected to abuse.

We have had people just barge into a total stranger's inbox without any courtesy and begin to ask for favors or ask very personal questions.

Some have even taken it so far and have used it as a medium for fraud.

Social media is a huge opportunity to meet and create very lasting and profitable relationships if we know how well to approach.

So what is an Etiquette?

Merriam Webster dictionary defines etiquette as the rules indicating proper and polite ways to behave.

Inbox etiquette therefore refers to the rules or ways of polite and proper inbox chats that will give us the desired outcomes.

They are as follows;

1. When chatting inbox with ANYONE be they friends, family or total strangers learn to start conversations with greeting.

This cannot be overemphasized. It is mark of rudeness to just barge into someone's inbox and start to chat without a proper greeting.

 The culture of 'good morning, good afternoon, good evening' is fast fading out, let's learn how to greet properly. I
won't cost you anything.

2. If you are a stranger to the person you want to chat with, don't go ahead and begin to bombard them with questions like you're an interviewer, introduce yourself FIRST.

 It can be annoying to anyone that a total stranger will just start asking you questions

3. If you sent a friend request and that person accepted, you can use that point to start the conversation and tell them what it was that attracted you to them that made you send the request.

4. Let's say the person you're chatting with is someone you're hoping to have a relationship with, it's important that you first check their profiles.

 See what they do on their timelines especially if it's Facebook and use that as a way of starting a conversation.
S
coming inbox and just asking things like' how old are you?', and all sorts of questions. Allow the conversation to flow gradually.

5. If someone turns down your request either for a relationship or job or whatever it is you wanted from them, don't fall into the trap of raining abuses on them.

 Learn to be matured with your emotions. You know very well how people nowadays use inbox chats to blackmail on social media, so as much as possible don't use abusive words on anyone.

So I hope we all find tips helpful as we daily converse with people on social media.
Have a beautiful weekend.
