What follows is make dreams come true Six Ways to Make People Like You: * Be genuinely interested in other people. Read lots of blogs for different perspectives. * Smile. Put your picture on your blog. * Remember and use people's names. Remember where you read things and credit the bloggers who wrote them. * Encourage others to talk about themselves and listen to them. In other words, welcome comments. * Discuss what the other person is interested in. Add value to your readers. * Make the other person feel important. Take all your feedback seriously and adapt if needed. Add to document.write("Del.icio.us") | Yahoo!
