Do you ever think of social media as a vehicle for showing appreciation?GenuLines asks you to consider your social media use as a means of appreciation.
Use Social Media to Show Your Appreciation
Is there anyplace social media isn’t? It’s everywhere, with people willing to share all aspects of their lives.
From cute cat pictures to complete details of what they had for breakfast.
Granted, not everyone appreciates these constant updates. But with smart management, social media can be a great way to give the world a look at the things you appreciate.
Let’s start with Pinterest. If you’ve never used it before start setting up boards about your favorite items. These could be podcasts that better the human condition. Or, if if you have healthy recipes you’ve tried and liked, create a board for that.
You can even structure your boards as group boards. Then you can invite others to post on your boards.
You’ll learn about things others enjoy. And you have control over who joins so you can keep spammers from infiltrating your boards.
If you insist on posting details of every meal on social media, consider using Twitter to do this. It’s a more forgiving platform since the messages pass through quicker.
And they only contain a small number of characters.
As for Facebook, your friends there might not be as receptive. Now you know.
Make it legal
It’s great to show your appreciation for the small things using social media. But make sure you have the rights to post what you post.
People and companies take copyright infringement seriously. And posting any picture on a whim can get you into serious trouble.
The fines can be hefty. And there have been instances of criminal actions taken against perpetrators.
If you search on Google for images and you don’t know whether it’s okay to use them, likely it’s not. Don’t take this issue lightly.
You also want to make sure you have permission to post pictures of people. If they’re people you know, you can ask them through a verbal confirmation.
If you want to post people you don’t know, make sure you get a signed release showing that it’s okay to use their image.
Needless to say, never use people’s images in a negative light. Be respectful with your social media posting.
Some channels may allow you to post inappropriate material, such as nude pictures, etc. Not the best idea.
Would you show it to your mother? If not, your best bet is to keep it off of social media.
