3 Tips to Optimizing Your Social Media

Social Media is a such a powerful platform. You can find everything from cute puppy videos, political issues, current events, job hirings, and fashion tips. When used correctly, social media can benefit you in positive ways such as providing a source of income. Here are 4 tips to optimizing your social media page.

Tip #1: Earn your followers

The best way to excel on social media is to have followers who like and share your content. Providing feed on your social media platform that is ideal to your followers will lead to more subscribers, reposts, and overall talk about your page. Being authentic is the best way to achieve this. Followers enjoy genuine content along with a sense a relatability. Although it is good to have a high follower base, work hard to achieve them. Of course you can use apps to buy followers, but they are clout vouchers. The followers you get won't actually view your post which leads to lack a feedback/likes. It's best to just earn your followers by providing good content.

Tip #2: Become an efficient typer

When using word based social medias such as Twitter and Facebook, it is important to be an efficient typer. This includes limiting grammatical errors and responding to commentators in a quick manner. There is a great app available to fix grammatical errors which is known as "Grammarly." This tool helps compose mistake-free writing along with clear and understandable writings. Here is the link to check them out! Another way to become an efficient typer, is by increasing your typing skills. There are tons of websites out there that help increase typing speed and teach you how to type without looking at the keyboard. I know I have this problem of constantly looking at the keyboard, so I use the applications myself. Just recently, I tried this website that makes you type letter sequences in order to get you to learn the keyboard. Each letter that you get wrong is flagged so you can practice them again. The website also teaches where to place your hand on the keyboard. Lastly, there is a keyboard website that allows you to play typing games. By typing the given words on the screen, you can jump level to level on a tree or kill zombies. This is a fun and innovative way to make sure you understand the keyboard.

Tip #3: Strategize, Plan, and Set Goals

Social media, as we all may know, is a lot of work. For daily to weekly blogging, it is important to strategize, plan, and set goals. By strategizing, you can develop the content you would want on your page and plan ahead for future posting. Planning allows you to stay organized and provides structure to your social media platforms. Planning also creates a less stressful environment when the time comes for curating content. There are websites/apps available that helps schedule your content and regulate post ideas. Lastly, set goals for your social media pages. Setting positive goals allows you to be optimistic and create potential for your social media. Try setting goals for say to increase your followers by 50% by the end of the year, or to be sponsored by a company. When setting these goals, be realistic and feasible.
