- Recognize that you are indeed a Brony. This can be a hard thing to do, especially if you are a grown up man.
- Watch the show. This is probably the most vital part of becoming a Brony. Watch every episode of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic and watch the new ones as soon as they are released.
- Stay informed. Always know when the next episode is going to premiere. Stay updated and be aware when clips or screenshots are released about the upcoming episode. Always know what's going on in the Brony community. In every episode, listen carefully what Twilight or other ponies say while writing letters to Princess Celestia, and think carefully about it.
- Meet other Bronies. You'll need people to converse with along the subject of MLP: FiM. You should also gather your fellow Bronies to watch the newest episode together. If you don't have any Brony friends, try to convert lots of people and get them to watch it with you!
- Get to know the ponies as your own friends. Mentally talk to them if you'd like. Maybe choose a favorite pony too, although it usually happens naturally.
- Start a club. If you have got a good few people in your group of Bronies, create an official club for local Bronies! Members should have frequent gatherings, in which they should buy merchandise or just socialize. Be creative and plan more things to participate in with your friends. Create a Facebook or Twitter group to spread the word.
- Get the merchandise. Buy t-shirts, put up posters, buy the DVD's, and get figurines and/or Make Customisable Plushies Easily of your favorite characters (pony merch can be found in some stores like Hot Topic and of course online)!
- Get the music. MLP: FiM has incredible music, and there are downloads to all the songs all over the Internet. Get them on your iPod and listen to them often! Try to memorize them if you can!
- Browse fan content. There's tons of fan content created every day. Music, art, fanfictions, videos, this fandom has got it all. Don't be afraid to go on YouTube, DeviantArt, or other websites and indulge in the content; if you don't you'll be missing out!
- Create fan content! So you've completely dived into the art, music, literature, and everything else the fandom creates, now it's time to contribute! Are you a writer? Write fanfiction! Make music?

It doesn't matter what, Bronies will be happy to embrace your creations!
- Refer to as many Memes as possible. Fellow Bronies love it when you douse them with your wicked knowledge of Internet culture. Spice up your Little Bobby discussions with plenty of doge, grumpy cat, and of course horsey memes! Good Morning, Neighbor!
