In the recent time, the rate at which most especially dudes are striving towards popularity is so alarming.. The rate at which they strive towards becoming popular is even more than that of making money. I have to come up with this kind of thread just to make some attention seeking people know what they are naïve about

You have something worth people's attention rather than being attention-seeking.


1. Don't Derail Threads-

What have you got to offer other people that will set you above the Nairaland masses ?. There are
some key elements that will help
your quest: You're fascinating, interesting, unusual, alluring, or unique. It's about the information and entertainment, not about "Look at me attitude!"

2. You Don't Have To Be Woman Wrappering-

You have something worth
people's attention rather than
be woman wrappering for attention-seeking. It's about the information and entertainment, not about creating threads to profess your love, "Look at me attitude!", '' I am very handsome and so on

3. Be Funny-

Try to use friendly tone in relating with others.. You don't have to fake your personality insulting people under the cover of being funny

4. Be Patient And Persistent
It might take a while to be
noticed or to hit that right viral
moment. Be prepared to keep delivering what the people following you keep wanting! Be consistent and don't leave them waiting. If you don't like the idea of having to be constantly available, don't seek internet fame!

5. Use Real Photos Of Yourself -
Nairalanders will want to be reassured that they're connecting with the "real you". however, find your own look and style and let people see that you're
comfortable being yourself.
Remember that the brand is "you"

6. Create Interesting Threads -
Test it out on your friends, or in a. forum, first to gauge people's reactions.

7. Find Your Own Style-

To get noticed, use you style to get people wanting to see your comments each time. You don't have to get people's attention by outrightly correcting other people's grammatical blunders in mockery.


8. Stop Worrying So Much About How You Look-

You don't have to create thread asking people to rate you or how handsome you are. When you post interesting and sensible comments, people will be forced to view your pix and like it


9. Be Friendly-

I can deduce that popular people on NL are on friendly terms with pretty much everyone--not only their peers. Being friendly doesn't take a big effort, but it makes a real impact. Keep it casual. Small talk is all about sticking to "safe" topics. Stay away from anything
Controversial by expressing your
Views on a controversial topic
You're bound to be unpopular
with people who disagree. Keep
the topics "light", don't butt in. There's a difference between being friendly and going where you're not wanted.

10. Respect People's Privacy-
Learn to read typing language so you can see when your comments are starting to make them feel uncomfortable. Don't invite yourself anywhere, don't stalk, don't brag, and don't interrupt. In other words, don't be annoying. Popular people don't just know everyone--they're on good terms with everyone. They establish those terms by helping people out, and they don't do it in particularly
noticeable ways.
