I could post some famous website to give all the answers on finding your audience online. I could post the most famous Facebook groups where conversations are updated by the second. But in all honesty, the joy of engaging in conversation is finding it yourself. It’s always fun do research and spend time finding that perfect conversation that you identify with and can contribute to.
For example, I’m a huge fan of Deep Thoughts by Jack Handey. In about 3 seconds I can find the official Deep Thoughts site, but the fun part was finding homemade Deep Thoughts by an avid skier on a ski forum I like to visit every so often. Google is a great search engine and widely used, but if your looking for the real gold you have to dig deep.
You really get what you put into it. If it takes you less then a couple minutes to find what you “think” you are looking for, I’d say keep searching. Make sure to play in the sandbox before you start telling everyone in a forum about your product or service. Nothing worse then a SPAMMER with less then 5 posts under their belt.
I’ll even leave you with my own “Deep Thought”.
If you find yourself spending too much time online chatting with strangers and playing subscription video games, you can finally attribute the coke cans and crushed chips all over your living room. Ah yes, thats where that came from.
