The skill in starting a conversation with anyone else is
a special attribute to online moderators (but not only applicable to them). No
one knows if that attribute is a God-given talent or a product of Maxwell-style
workshops and seminars. What is sure is that the knack to start a talk with
anyone is a need to become a first-rate online moderator.
How do you start an online conversation with a bang?
Simple, like wrapping a Christmas gift.
Post a featured picture that surely catches the
attention of internet users. Like what? Pictures of food. For sure, people (who
are always hungry) hit the comment button and they themselves start an online
conversation with you.
Post an interesting question. If users are interested,
they throw answers. Post questions that are not just answerable by one or two
words.
Comment on posts. Describe pictures, articles, video
clips etc. with all your heart and soul. And you will see users conversing with
you.
Go witty. Going humorous seems to be a challenging task
but the result it worth it when people are starting to talk with you just
because of your wit.
Offer a need. When users know that what you are offering
is their desire or their need, they surely message you. Thus, announce good
news!
Let us admit it. You need statements that appear like
pick-up lines to start a conversation with a bang! Here are examples of pick up
lines.
Puzzle: I have 142 teeth and I hold back the incredible
hulk. Any idea about my name?
If you were a judge, who would you like to win in the
Ms. Universe pageant?
Are you sure this is your picture? It seems you are more
handsome in person. What’s your secret?
I made this video for you. Do you have a question for me
in return?

designed a model that may fit your lifestyle.
In starting an online conversation in social media
moderation, always remember that you are not collecting friends. You are
starting a sensible talk with users. You are like seducing them to talk to you.
