Right now, I have more than 18 app in my smart phone, some of my friends have even more. Among these apps, five of them are social media: Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Wechat and Weibo( Chinese version Tweet). If I go to a trip, I may share 2 to 5 pictures on at least two of these social medias. Most of my friends will “like” the pictures. These are totally normal for a college students, rather than being popular in school, work place and society, more young people now also care about how to being popular in social networks. The article “The social media marketing strategy is only as good as the work you put into it”(Demers) attracted me with its title, it is more likely be a tip for social median user. There are ten ways to increases the followers in social media. 1. follow people. 2. share people’s content. 3. focus on your content. 4. leverage google authorship . 5. keep your updates consistent. 6. build Facebook profile. 7. make your social icons prominent on your websites. 8. join Linkedh. 9. use profile in e-mail. 10. build relationship with industry influencers. After I read it, I got all the information to get more followers , but I found out that growing followers requires lots of time and works, for a normal students like me, trying to have lots of followers could kill lots of time, in other words, it will waste lots of time. Also, for focusing on the pictures, the content of one social media, we may need to recreate ourselves, the more time one person spend on their websites, the more followers this person will get. Now, growing followers sounds not as fancy as before. I am telling myself, maybe spend less time on these networks can bering me more time to rest and do some real readings, however, I don’t know if I can totally change this habit or not. Maybe I should write a blog ” 10 reason we should forget the followers on social media.”
