Social Media in 5 Easy Steps

Social Media in 5 Easy Steps | Rochester MN Moms Blog

Social media can be a bit tricky to navigate.  Facebook, Instagram, the twitter, etc. are super fun because you can really make yourself appear to be whoever you feel like at the moment.  If you’re confused or not sure where to start, just follow these pointers.

  1. Document.  This is the most tricky, because what on earth should you post about?  Date nights,  educational activities with your children, healthy meals, large expensive purchases or vacations must be documented.  What is the point if you can’t make your friends think you are super cool?  And if you don’t post about it on social media, is it even worth doing?  The goal here is to document first and live the moment second.
  2. Filter.  There are lots of great apps to filter your photos.  Facetune can take off wrinkles and a few pounds.  Afterlight will make your life look like a dream.  Instagram has many nice filters too.  Use black and white if you are going for sophisticated/fancy.  Food pictures look great with high contrast color.
  3. Hashtags.  Your Hashtags will draw more people to your page, so Hash away my friends.  It’s a good idea to tag general themes of your photos.  So when you get new Nikes, just tag #nike so other Nike lovers can check your style.  This is also good for documenting your darling children or vacations.  If your friends weren’t jealous of your vacation before, they can just look through ALL your photos to catch up on your lovely trip.
  4. Coffee.  Social Media in 5 Easy Steps | Rochester MN Moms BlogI’m honestly not totally sure what’s going on with the coffee thing. Maybe we are all just trying to prove how adult we are by drinking it, but you have to take a picture of your coffee mug and especially when you have a fancy paper#Starbucks cup (see what I did there).  Coffee pictures with a journal, Bible, or trendy book mean you are super smart and dedicated to learning.  A cup of coffee while in your pajamas and perfectly made bed means you are casual and chic.  Coffee in your car means you are an excellent multitasker.  Pick your favorite, or use them all.
  5. Image.  This is perhaps as important as WHAT to post.  You need to make sure you and your surroundings look great all the time.  Make sure your house is always clean and you are always dressed stylishly with makeup.  You can always say you aren’t wearing makeup but then just curl your eyelashes or put on some gloss and mascara.  If someone questions, you just say “#proveit”.  Those coffee pictures look best if your nails are done, making sure to get your wedding ring or other jewelry in the picture.  Your family might get annoyed, but really who cares?  It’s all in the name of getting a perfect picture to post.

Use these pointers for your posts, and you’ll have friends wanting to know how you became so cool in no time.  Good luck!
