6 Ways to Celebrate Social Media Day
Social media has made a significant impact on our world, the way we communicate, and even the way we do business. Back in 1997, the first social media platform emerged called Sixdegrees. The platform had profiles showcasing friends, family, and school affiliations, not unlike most platforms we see today. However, it officially shut down in 2001.
Other big names shortly followed, including Friendster, LinkedIn, Myspace, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and Instagram. With this digital evolution, social media became an instant source of news, shopping, and instant entertainment.
With world social media day quickly approaching on June 30th, we’re sharing how to celebrate all the positive ways social media has influenced our personal lives and businesses over the past 20 years.
Share a post
Using hashtags on Facebook can help increase your reach, gain visibility, and attract new followers. Try using up to two hashtags relevant to your audience and/or trending on social media for the best results.
Try a new platform
If you’ve been eyeing a new platform, social media day is the perfect day to give it a try! Download the app, fill out your profile, and have a ton of fun engaging and learning something new.
Follow someone new
Take a few moments and explore your accounts you’ve meant to follow. From cute puppy feeds to get you through your day to small businesses you like to frequent, give them a follow and show your support with likes, saves, and comments.
Give a little thanks
If you are a business and have grown your following to numbers beyond your wildest dreams, take this day to thank them for their support. Create fun and eye-catching graphics to let them know that you appreciate them.
Get creative with a hashtag
Hashtags are a great way to create a conversation to engage followers. Using a unique hashtag can help keep topics together as well as keep the conversation going!
Update your profile
