What’s the difference between followers and connections?

[Nicole Draper]

how do I know who I should follow and who I should connect with, what’s the difference?

how do you build your network on bigger pockets?

[Bill Plymouth]

@Nicole Draper if you follow someone, you can see what they post, but they won’t see anything you post.  A connection is essentially a friend request. 

Build your network by being active in the forums, asking, and answering questions.  Also, message people who work in the same market you do and build connections that way.
