Social media: A new social currency

The world has gone digital and as such social media is a new currency that determines importance, nature of information accessed and ultimately opportunities that come through various interactions. Here are some tips I have found to be useful in utilising social media for the best:

1. Have a decent outlook, profile, pictures and impressively clear bio.

2. Before you post, ask your self if its necessary and whether it adds value.

3. Practice constructive criticism.

4. Never use profane language.

5. Be sensitive of other people's religions, sexuality  and general preferences which may differ from yours.

6. Always remember that contemporary employers browse through your social media accounts, be employable.

7. Do not post when you are angry or upset.

8.  Avoid tagging strangers, tag people you know and can easily relate to, those you know to be sober minded and honourable.

9. Have strong passwords and backup security options.

10. Thank me later.
