Become a social media superstar - Masterclass

Top tricks to earn your 15 minutes of internet fame 


 Building a social presence takes patience, some careful planning and a constant eye on everything you say. The initial stages can be full of ups and downs, but this is perfectly normal because the web is a big place and only the strongest will prevail. Remember that you are potentially projecting your personality on social networks, podcasts, the web and all sorts of other places, and to build a loyal following takes a lot more work than you may expect. We will reveal how to use tools to increase awareness of what you have to offer, but we cannot teach you how to behave. You need to nurture your profi le and understand what people think of you. If you are able to put yourself in the shoes of others, you will likely be more successful simply because you can see how what you say has an impact. By the end of this tutorial, you will be ready to become a social superstar.

Five ways to ensure social network success

1. Build your identity 

Use a curated selection of popular online services to get your message over. You may want to concentrate on text (blogging), audio (podcasts) and images (Instagram) and nothing else to ensure that your content is focussed and consistent throughout. Adding content to lots of different services will just dilute your message and make you easy to forget.

2. Use the right equipment

A modern Android device is more than capable of letting you capture superb quality photos and videos plus it will also let you write on the move. For some tasks, though, it may be better to pay for dedicated equipment. Podcasting is an example where professional equipment will greatly improve the experience for your listeners.

3. Nurture your audience 

Be realistic about what you write about and consider the possibility that your interests may not match those of many others. A smaller committed audience is much better than a larger disinterested one.

4. Share the workload

 If you fi nd that you are short of time and have found like-minded people online, consider collaborating with others to build an even better quality blog or podcast.

5. Open discussion 

Don’t expect 100% positive feedback. If you are doing this correctly, you will be making people think about what you have to say, which will naturally cause some dissenting voices.
