How do you correctly offer a draw in live online chess?

What is the proper etiquette for offering a draw online. In OTB it's my understanding that if you want to offer a draw, you write your move down, then offer the draw. If it isn't accepted you then play the move that you wrote down. So how is it supposed to be done in online live chess?

OTB you should offer the draw after you make your move and before you press the clock. Let them think about it on their time. Online I usually make the offer right after I move.

push the telephone button and wait for them to pick up then ask them for a draw

On Lichess, if you send a draw offer on their turn, and they move before they either accept or deny, the draw offer is automatically canceled (that's what always happens with me on default Lichess settings). I send the draw offer on my turn, wait a few seconds, and if they do not accept or deny, I continue to move.

You should never offer a draw.

if you can't make progress, repeat.

what's hard about that?

@thomassowell123 - If you were never supposed to offer a draw, then it wouldn't be an option. What if your position is slightly worse, or if you're low on time?

if you're slightly worse or low on time, you aren't offering a draw. you are BEGGING for one.

do i have to explain why you shouldn't beg?

u click the draw button

@thomassowell123 - You know what you said doesn't even make sense. Why go through 3-fold repetition when you can just agree to a draw? Think about how dumb that sounds. Pointlessly going through 3 moves each when you don't need to.

Over the board: play your move, say "draw ?" or gesture with two crossed index fingers, press your clock, write down your move and add the symbol (=) after it.

Online: during your turn: press the draw button, play your move.
