Social Media Etiquette

Momentum Students, I ran across this article a couple of weeks about social media and wanted to share. I summarized most of it.

1.) Don't Tweet Mostly About Yourself-what you are doing, speaking engagements, travel, how cool you are

2.) Don't Retweet-only good things about you, or your book, your product or your brand. Promote others' content more than your own

3.) Don't Include "Please RT!" in your tweets, use bad English, too many WORDS IN ALL YOUR CAPS or too many explanation marks!!!!!

4.) Don't Crowd Your Social Feeds With "Check-Ins" from all the glamorous places you've been

5.) Don't Post Something In A Highly Emotional State or without taking the time to consider whether it should be shared or not

6.) Don't Post Important Life News on social media before communicating to your closet friends or family in person

7.) Don't Spend More Time on social media than you spend communicating to people face to face

8.) Don't Flaunt Your Relationships by having public interactions on social media. Talk to people privately. Email, chat, and direct message will do just fine

9.) Don't Have Awkward Fights or edgy back and forths in public

10.) Don't Post Something With Big Implications without running it by a few people

Let's try to consider these things as we post on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and other social media network sites!
