Decide what you want to accomplish. Are you looking for a job? Do you want to change careers? What are you passionate about? Do you want to become a Thought Leader?  Find the conversations to join. For example, if you’re targeting people in business or specific careers or jobs, then LinkedIn is possibly the best place to start.  Good way to proceed is to look for groups: are the active groups on the social site interested in what you can help with? If so, then potentially that is a good place to start.
