You need to keep up with the times because we live in a world where digital media is taking over . As we use these social networks it is also important to use your personal accounts in an appropriate way. We all like to update ,share ,like, and comment on networks and that is what social networking is all about, BUT be careful you can make the best and the worst out of your profile account ,especially when you going into professions such as Public Relations .  (http://goo.gl/ZfUk9x)

   Have you ever tried to Google yourself?
 what we don’t know is that you are able to be "Goggled" and once we Google you we can see what you all about and FIRST IMPRESSIONS COUNT, beware of all the pictures , journals , and information you post especially if you want to be employed .Many people don't understand the  ramifications of posting questionable materials on the web for friends to see is in fact for EVERYONE to see . As a PR i have learned the BEST ways to to boost your social media  profiles . Here are a few steps that could make you the best Public Relations future Professional on social media..



1. KEEP IT PROFESSIONAL AT ALL TIMES we see social media as a platform to connect with friends and also to build Relationships online as well as to create networks with stakeholders, therefore, you need to keep your social life social and your business life Professional. Employers current and future look you up online. If you have sexy "selfies" , Party picturess you etc , then you should lock down your public access on your social media accounts , your boss can or may fire you because of something you posted one line . YOU DONT WANT YOUR BOSS KNOWING ABOUT YOUR SEX LIFE DO  YOU??? Pictures like this are a NO NO some things are just personal... (http://goo.gl/EABGyE)

who wants to know if you smoke or dink? Dosent say anything Good about you
  2 .ENGAGE WITH OTHERS SAFELY
Having a thousand followers is one thing, but having a significant influence over them is another .Are you one of those people who are interesting and love engaging online? or maybe you just love collecting followers ? Well i have NEWS for you... YOU NEED TO BE WISE With social media you are able to communicate, your thoughts , perceptions over different topics and to a large number of audience Well, make it creditable!! what you say says a lot about you . As a PR people need to have a relevant perception about you and you need to be able to have a carm cool and collected two way communication with people u engage with . Be Careful of what you say online and what you say to others. Before u # Tag some Info .
 
 

3.SHOW OFF YOUR GOOD INTRESTS AT HEART
 
 
Social Media has become a crucial part of us as PRs. Every time we look at our phone we just want to update about our thoughts and experiences. There are other candidates with your same level of education work experience and job related skills. Demonstrating that you’re interested in a variety of things, not just being a punctual detailed oriented team player makes you stand out. One of these social networks are designed to bring your personal interest. If your passion is partying , you shouldn’t hesitate to post status updates and photos of what you love doing in your spare time . Instagram pictures that show varied interests like cooking, attending sports events and travelling, That show that you are well- rounded and that you can balance work and life.
4. TREAT YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA LIKE AN EMAIL!!
Social networks especially the ones we use the most like Twitter and Facebook are inherently casual> BUT as a PR we have to keep one general rule in mind we should keep our tweets and status updates free of grammar and spelling mistakes, excessive Emotions and gratuitous newspeak . Employees see your social media as a snap shot of how you relate to the public. Even when you type "LARK DIS " , we are not Robots, we do not type like that. It is not professional it makes you seem as if u have a low IQ or a low level of intelligence . It’s hard to imagine a person like that to send a professional manner, so PLEASE stay away from LOL, LIB, LOL , and write out the FULL word . It’s don't NOT DNT =)
5. BE YOUR OWN PERSONAL BRAND, BRAND YOURSELF   
The nice thing about social media is it only shows you what you want it to show you, So you can easily create a cultivated image of yourself. show people you up to date with current trends and that you up to date. Don’t forget that if you are a PR and you work for a Brand, you also represent your brand. Be smart and friendly, make sure that the things you do increase your Brand awareness, find prospects and generate sales on your social media platform. The best way to get Noticed is as if yo post links and blogs about your industry or even highlight the good work you have done.. Humanize your Brand, So people build a relationship with it , You can be more conversational with your customers as a PR and post things that fit what your Brand is all about. Share company traditions and stand out.. BE ON YOUR CUSTOMERS MIND!!!! Remind your fans about GREAT DEALS, EVENTS, NEWS and stay On top of their NEWSFEED.
