How to Strengthen Weak Ties and Expand Your Network Every day we continuously build our strong ties. We talk to our boss, we grab coffee with a coworker sitting next to us, we go jogging with a close friend. These habits and rituals can be comforting, but they can also be restrictive if they only expose us to limited ideas and ways of thinking. When we limit ourselves to interacting only with our strong ties, we prevent ourselves from the benefits of weak ties. Weak ties is a sociology term referring to surface-level relationships or acquaintances. These are individuals we might see on Facebook, but never  really  talk to or get to know.

We’ve come a long way since  the first social networks started emerging  mid-1990s, when users were still figuring out the basics like the best size and angle of their profile pictures. By now, we have collectively agreed on proper etiquette of  flirting ,  maintaining friendships , and even  applying for jobs  on social media. Naturally, there are also rules of online behavior for digital marketers and social media managers.

Others, however, take some experience to figure out, and those unfamiliar with the etiquette often  find themselves in very sticky situations . Whether your business runs a one-man social media team or an entire digital department, it’s important to outline social media e...
