New Approach To Social Media

 New Approach To Social Media

On the 1st of February 2021, I decided to change my approach to social media. My initial approach was that it was all about me, and if friends were doing something that needed support I would share it on my timeline. With this new approach to social media I put my ego to the side, its not about me, it is about fostering a discourse with a community. 


I am sure you are thinking, how can this be achieved? It is quite simple actually. You just have to post consistently multiple times a day, most videos I have watched online recommend posting five times a day, for me that feels a bit excessive, personally I aim to post at least three times a day on all platforms, this just feels right. On the first day I didn't expect to see much activity, but to my surprise I was proven wrong, I have had a lot of engagement and this is proof that this technique works.


For me the key is sharing something that will cause a conversation to start. Apart from sharing a video or image it will help to write a comment when sharing, as writing a comment will help to foster a conversation, the comment does not have to be long, just keep it honest, short and to the point, and when you do share ask your audience a question. If what you have shared resonates with an audience, your audience will be more than willing to engage with you and respond. That in a nut shell is social media. Of course from time to time you can post personal things to.
