10 Basic Tips to using Social

Media Understand “You are in CONTROL”

Research what platforms works for you. You DO NOT have to do everything.

Be Consistent.

Everything from videos, blogs, websites and print media should have the same message.

Have a clear identity.

Be Accountable for Your Actions.

Build Quality Relationships.

Don't be an idle chatterbox.

Don't sit at your keyboard engaging in idle talk with everyone you encounter.

Online, people often tend to say things they would not dare to in real life.

Add Value.-

Adding value does not mean adding any content- but content that may be valuable and relevant.

Don't interfere with other's efforts.

Listen to Others and Respect the Community.

Remember YOU ARE IN CONTROL!

Give More than You

Receive- If you are using the social

media platform to gain attention, you need

to be willing to also give attention. In the

world of social media, just like any other

social circuit, you need to earn other

people's respect- you can do so by giving

more than you receive.

Don't be an idle

chatterbox- Don't sit at your

keyboard engaging in idle talk with

everyone you encounter. Online, people

often tend to say things they would not

dare to in real life.

Add Value- The one thing that will

earn you great connections with others is

the value you add to the online community.

Adding value does not mean adding any

content- but content that may be valuable

and relevant to the website

Don't interfere with Other's

Efforts- Do not try and talk negatively about

someone just so you can get ahead. Making

enemies on social media sites will get you

nowhere fast.

Remember that Cheaters

Never Win- Build your social media the

right way. While it is true that you might get some

great results by cheating, but eventually you will

get caught. This will ruin your reputation forever.

Build Quality Relationships-People usually tend to help those that they have

developed good relations with. Remember,

relationships require the participation of both

parties, so always be a good participant in your

social media relationship.

Stop being too Aggressive- It

is easy to put people off by inundating them with

requests to help you out.

Respect the Community- It is important to show respect toward

this social community. This is easy, just make sure you don't step out of line, and

always treat everyone the way you want to be treated.

Listen to Others- A better way of countering something you disagree

with is listening carefully to what the person is saying, instead of launching an

attack or telling them how wrong you think they are. Listen to the people

commenting on your blog and understand where they're coming from. You can

learn from others if you take the time to listen.

Be Accountable for Your Actions- Due to the anonymity the

Internet allows, there is little to no accountability online. It is critical to be honorable

by taking responsibility for your actions online.

Be Nice- Just like in any social interaction- be nice. Side Thought:

When you get someone’s card, ask them

FIRST, if you can add them to your

email list, or you can be reported as

SPAM
