Social Media plays an increasingly important role in our lives: we use it more and more for ourselves, to promote ourselves, to promote a personal product, to look for a (different) job, etc. What is the best attitude in Social Today’s media? What brings the most followers and the most attention?
What is Social Media
It turns out to be quite difficult to find a definition for Social Media, while everyone who is active on the Internet actually has an idea of it. Social Media (definition from scribd.com): is the collection of accessible online media, where people can share, appreciate and create; the outcomes of this can in turn be enriched and consumed by people, which can lead to community building.
DJ Thistle is a co-founder of SteamFeed. He recently published an article in which he indicated that people who are nice on Social Media have the best chance of success, of being heard and followed. This may seem obvious to most people, but anyone who has been on the path of Social Media for some time will undoubtedly have discovered that critical, unpleasant, sarcastic and arrogant behavior has prevailed for some time in Social Media. Media. Catering was pretty much the norm. For a while, especially among young people, it has been fashionable to act as unpleasantly as possible . Fortunately, according to Thistle, those days are over.
He says the following about it in his StreamFeed blog: ,You can no longer spout all kinds of nonsense and expect to create good mutual relationships. You can no longer just promote yourself, Social Media simply no longer works that way. If If you don’t interact with people in a positive way, many will ‘unfollow’ you every day. Despite what is said, people like it when you show good manners and are normal, nice and polite.
To become the most successful in Social Media the following advice is given:
Be involved
It takes a lot of time and dedication, but if you show commitment to your followers and show interest to your newcomers, your network will increase in value and grow faster. When people Tweet you, comment on your Blog, or write something on your Facebook page, it’s important that you take the time to write back to them. Being nice will help you much more than being sarcastic. This way, the people who take the time to write to you are likely to end up being your most motivated supporters.
Be helpful
The more you give of yourself in Social Media, the more you ultimately ‘receive.’ Really do your best to help people who ask you. People will remember that.
Be personal
It’s simple but true: give people insight into who you are. The core of Social Media is sharing things with each other and listening to each other. There is no need to be constantly doing business. It is a lot more pleasant when you share personal things, while occasionally adding something businesslike in between. Most people hate automatic ‘Bots’ replies. (Bots as in robots.) Spam is anathema to almost everyone.
Keep it clean
Keep your interactions in Social Media ‘clean’: don’t do anything you wouldn’t want to do or share with your grandmother. People’s memories are usually good and long. A single ‘unclean’ response can get you down, as can venom or sarcasm.
Be real and believable
People are not crazy, they quickly notice whether you are just playing something to get their attention. For example, someone who constantly says ,spiritual, things and then indicates that you need to follow his or her program to earn income with six zeros after the first digit is simply not credible.
Don’t brag
It irritates people when you pretend that you only go on wonderful vacations, drive a very expensive car or always sit in the most luxurious restaurants. Even if you do it to indicate that your method of making money is, in our opinion, the best. After all, the majority of the world’s population has to work hard for what they want to spend and simply does not appreciate it.
Don’t harp on the same thing all the time
An example: some authors are so focused on promoting their book that they can’t write about anything else. That’s the best way to get unfollowed immediately. It’s not easy to find the balance between what you want to promote and what you want to write and share about more personal things, but it’s recommended that you do your best to find a good middle ground.
Engage yourself with Social Media on a daily basis
No or late responses irritate people who show enough interest in you to respond to you. It is time-consuming, but try to be present on your Social Media items every day if you want to achieve something with it. Working haphazardly is not worth the effort: not for you and not for your followers.
Conclusion
Dealing with Social Media is not as easy as you think. In today’s times it is important to find the right balance to convey your message and maintain a good relationship with your followers. It also appears to be important that you remain friendly and that you continue to maintain your contacts in this way.
