If you haven’t been on social media yet to meet other singles, then it’s natural to feel a little intimidated about getting started this late in the game. However there’s all sorts of reasons why people may not have jumped on the social media bandwagon yet. Perhaps you’re over the age of 70, and didn’t grow up with social media and don’t see the use in it. Maybe you didn’t want to be just like everybody else until now, however, you’re starting to realize that getting a social media page may very well be worth your time!
Whatever your reason is, navigating the world of social media can be done with ease if you know the right tips. Here are some of the most important tips for social media newbies that you’ll want to know.
Start With One
It’s easy to get overwhelmed if you try to add a profile to every single social media platform that exists at once. Instead, start small and move on to the next. You might want to start with a simple platform like Facebook or Instagram, then as you get more comfortable you can consider adding additional ones like Twitter or even Snapchat.
Each one comes with its own unique features and advantages. You may decide that you prefer one over the other, but you’ll only know if you try each one out. Be patient with yourself, and allow yourself a small learning curve with each.
Choose a Nice Profile Photo
Remember, even if your profile is set to private, your profile photo should be one that stands out that you feel confident about. People regardless of whether they’re friends or not will be able to see the photo, so make sure it’s one that you won’t be embarrassed of if, for example, your employer sees it.
Your profile photo should be not necessarily professional, but something that is appropriate to put out into the public eye. Most experts recommend that the photo should only have you in it, and not any of your friends or family members who may not necessarily agree with being in the photo. Otherwise, you should get their permission before posting
Don’t Share Personal Information
The less you share on social media, the less you’ll put yourself at risk. For example, you definitely should avoid putting your personal email or phone number on your profile, as marketers could take this information and add it to their marketing contact list. You should also be careful about mentioning whether you’re on vacation, or personal details about your life. The less you share, the better, so don’t be afraid to air on the side of caution when setting up your profile.
