1. Lurk first — understand community culture
2. Provide value — answer questions, share insights
3. Don't spam — direct promotion = ban
4. Disclose self-promotion — when relevant
5. 9:1 ratio — 9 posts contributing, 1 promoting
6. Engage with replies — relationship building
7. Build account history — old accounts have credibility
