''The Right (and Wrong) Way to Do Social Media''
We use online networking to monitor our companions and most loved
famous people, however what about using it for good? Here is a best
ten rundown on the most proficient method to use web-based social
networking to help change the world.
After a long and grueling election year where social media was the
prime place to share our beliefs on politics, I thought it was a good
time to share with you the right and wrong ways to use social media. A
few tips may be obvious to some, but to others, it may help you to
make the right decision about what you choose to share.
Before you press send and put your words (or self-made memes) out there for the
world to see, remember the list below.
- Don't post what you wouldn't say to someone's face.
- Don't try to push your agenda.
- Don't share a relational issue in a passive aggressive way.
- Don't use social media for arguments.
Social media can certainly be a tool to grow your business, and there
are lots of people out there with good ideas on how to use the
available social-media sites BUT as long as your readers are having
fun and communicating with you and with each other, don’t stress about
whether or not you are utilizing every social-media network. I think
many people get overwhelmed with the pressure to be fully engaged in
every big social-media platform.
Here’s my advice: educate yourself about social media. Listen to the
suggestions of others about how to use it. Along with those
suggestions, do your best to “throw out the rules” mentally and see if
you can dream up some creative, non-standard ways you can use social
media to benefit YOUR business and YOUR readers.
In the end, trust your gut. If you feel icky about posting, take a
second to think if you are acting on an emotional whim. Come back
later to the post after some thought. You may change your mind for the
best. Erase the posts that divide, push an agenda, or start an
argument. And start posting positive content that encourages and
connects.
