How to ask for a favor from someone you only know on the Internet

We're making up the rules of Internet engagement as different platforms evolve. So I figure it's always good to check in with some experts to find out how things are developing. Conventions usually come about when irritations arise, so I asked a few friends what vexes them. I have assembled an expert etiquitte panel: Meredith Gould, Mihee Kim-Kort, Christian Piatt, Bruce Reyes-Chow, and Landon Whitsitt. We talked about criticism yesterday. Today, we're focusing on something else that can get under a person's skin when it's not done well: asking for favors.

Part Two: Favors

Since all of the people on our panel have a large platform (which is a term for followers, readers, friends, and audience), a lot of irritations had to do with how people ask for favors.
