Social Media Profile Picture | Your Personal Brand
Social media such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, Pinterest, and more are part of life, and social media is here to stay. Aaron Marino of alpha m. tries to help you to avoid social media mistakes. Social media is part of your personal brand. Don’t make a permanent mistake.
- Impulsive posting – you must think through before posting because repercussions can reek havoc on your life. Pause before posting.
- Talking about taboo topics such as religion and politics – you can’t change anyone’s mind. You only can change people’s view of you so don’t talk about your personal views unless you understand you are going to alienate people.
- TMI – too much information! Some people post too much personal information about themselves and harm can come if your privacy settings aren’t in check. Some things should be kept private.
- Accepting everyone’s friend request – people lie so be careful.
- Being offensive and inappropriate things – avoid posting vulgar things. Try the test: would you show your 87 year old grandmother?
- Confusing personal and professional profiles – separate the two.
