Social Media... a new nation

Since the creation of the first brain, social media started; we are wired to connect, and we are social beings. But when we choose social negligence over social intelligence, we fumble.

Irrespective of the platform you have chosen to show up or even show off, there is a constitutional expectation from every citizen of this new nation. Refusal to abide by it, you become a victim of it even though you are viral; don't miss this vital point, please.

Social media are platforms that enable us to create and share content or participate in social networking.

I wanted to help you know the history of Social Media and I quickly remember that you didn't come here for that; one of the rules of social media, give people what they come for, not just anything you like.

The constitution I talked about is Social Intelligence.

Social media is very quick to expose you; whether you are intelligent or not. Hence, you have to mind how you show up.

Social intelligence is your ability to know how you feel and how others feel around you and how to use it to make everyone feel best as deserved. 

It's not always sugary, and sometimes it's bitter but when properly communicated, everyone feels better.

What's your mission statement for being on social media?

Or do you think that's too serious a question? If you think so, you are going to be prey to the powerful on this ground. Some people don't have brick nor mortar and with Social Media, they have power, because they didn't take the constitution of this new nation for granted.

Social media is as powerful as the social media handler (you); how powerful are you?  

Social media is a loudspeaker, it will speak you to the world, what are you speaking into it?

How powerful are you?

Answer the following questions, they will help you rate your power;

1. Do you create trends sometimes or follow trends only?
2. Do you have a social media goal?
3. Do you take your content engagers as followers or customers?
4. If your content were to be a dish, would you like to eat it every day?
5. Are you always serving us hot but you don't engage with us as well on our tables?
6. Is there anything unique people remember you for apart from your name?
7. Are you from the tribe of, "As I used to post, I will continue to post like that forever and ever, amen?"

By the time you sincerely attend to the above, you will see your power rating by yourself.

Avoid the following poisons;

• Not listening nor paying attention to the engagement and feedback on your posts
• Being defensive; close-minded to others’ points of view
• Automatic decision-making; life is twice unreal on social media
• Fear in any form of it; about engaging others or choosing to be a deviant to a popular belief or trend
• Apathy; you take others as mere numbers, they are the ones to engage your post, not you engaging their post
• Anger-facilitated response or post

What you just read up there, is a portion of my book, titled LinkedIn MuMu

Understanding how this new age operates is now a prerequisite to succeeding now.

You may not like social media like my old self, but no problem.

In the past two years, 87% more people have used video conferencing platforms, ask me why. The pandemic happened.

But something is happening now as envisaged after the pandemic and that thing is personademic, you read that right, no mistakes. It is now the self-inflicted horror because you still want to maintain a Luddite status.

And for another tribe that thinks life starts and ends with millions of likes and comments on social media, you are missing the memo.

Did you answer the above questions on determining your social media power rating? If you did, something must have changed in you right now!

Chasing clout is a distraction and at the same time a strong temptation for the modern man but if you can ignore it, instead of social media looting your life, it will serve as a tool to enable the fulfillment of your purpose.

So sorry to disappoint you that this is not your best book if you want to choose "branding," over "building."

This book is the guard you need to go through your journey in the new nation triumphing over challenges that cripple the modern man.

When you get this book, it's your access to a world of possibilities. It comes with the opportunity to be on a strategy call with me about two times a month to get ahold of the unwritten strategies.

We are in the remote world, don't be remotely controlled when you can be a remote controller.
