In the recent years, we have come a long way, from blackboards to white computer screen, from glasses to Google glasses, from feelings to feedback. Thanks to all the technological advancements! Human has always felt the thrift for approval.
In good olden days, our status was judged by the possession of some luxury goods, to mention ‘money, bungalow, car and mother’ that has flashily being replaced by the number of followers on various social media.
Once upon a time, my friend asked me how to delete her Instagram account a few days back just since she did not have enough followers.
People, in the desperation of gaining attention start following everything that is going around them. Don’t do this. Form an opinion and stick to it. Realize that you are human not sheep. Be ready to say no standing among a group of people saying yes.
Just Remember This Rule: All the people you come across in social media are PEOPLE.
Confidence is the key. Confidence never implies writing a sickening quote with hashtags #attitude #dope #irock #Mr.Famous. Instead if I may say, it is exactly the opposite of that. Here is a simple trick, refer yourself as the first person, use I and we more than generalizing your statement. Speak for yourself.
There is a golden rule: Facebook is for weekends, Twitter is for weekdays and Instagram is for dinner outs and vacation. According to this schedule, you can mark your presence on respective media by asking the questions and sharing posts.
It is simple. Post something that you would want to read. If you are still not sure, then you always have the option of sharing other people’s content that you find interesting. But not the current news or Bigg Boss updates that are already flooding your feeds.
Even if you are posting your photos, spend a minute on them to make them presentable and try not to be repetitive. Does not matter whether you are a selfie queen or not, always try different poses and surroundings in your photos.
Maintain a give and take relationship. I am sure that many of us already have those random Facebook friends with whom we have only one relation ‘Like’ship. Always respond to people who comment on your photos and engage them.
All the major social media keeps adding tiny functions that can make a huge difference to our everyday experiences. Tagging people, adding appropriate hashtags will always help more people to reach you.
The use of hashtags has increased prominently on Facebook too. Some of the popular tags for gaining followers are, #instafollow, #l4l (Like for like), etc.
To know your Instagram audience, go into your settings and click the gear icon in the upper right of your screen. Click ‘Find and Invite friends’, and then ‘Suggested Users‘.
Make sure to go to your Facebook setting after installing the add-on to enable the extension.
Well, of course, it’s not real but they do offer an option of sharing your creativity with your Twitter audience. Have healthy fun.
Post all the necessary information about yourself and make your account appealing enough. Keep the intro short yet informative. Since introduction is the first things your perspective followers will know about you.
If you are confused, you can perform a little exercise. Just sit with a paper and write down first five words that suit your personality.
