Be you ! One point I can see in Rebekah Radice’s tweet is to “be you.” Sincerity and genuineness on the digital landscape means a lot to your audience. People can tell who are, your intentions and interests by the content that you post on social media platforms. It may be hard for you to approach and find the right tone, but I will tell you, just be AUTHENTIC and don’t be afraid to inform your audience of your key message. My last point is to be CONSISTENT.
“While social media can be an enormous benefit, it can also be a reputation-killer. Don’t leave public perception to chance.” Don’t leave your audience guessing. They followed you because they found something in you they like. Don’t let good chances slip away. Be authentic and consistent !
