So, here are SEVEN ways to show more of the real you on social media:
Table of Contents
1. Share Your Story.
You wanna inspire your followers, motivate them and teach them with you own knowledge! Educational and value based content only does half the work and with all of the new shifts & pivots happening in the online space… Personal brands matter more NOW than ever! Share your day to day life, your past, and your dreams for the future! This is what they are wanting to see.
2. Use Instagram Stories.
Stories are such a great way to show people who you are without a filter picture on the feed, even if your not doing anything cool or fun doesn’t mean you cant be posting on your stories!! To be the most authentic on your stories, start to post more real and every day content, to let people in on your life.
Social Media is shifting into a H2H focus which means utilizing video in order to create deeper connections online! Stop waiting for special occasions to post on your story, share the little things! Your morning coffee ritual, maybe there is a song you are loving or a new beach you found! Just realized you’ve said a phrase wrong your whole life? Post it! Curious if your community says CARAmel or CARmul? Poll ‘em!
3. Stop Second Guessing If People Care!
I promise you people ARE interested in the content you share, no matter how boring you think your life is! You don’t have to share fabulous nights out or travel to a new place every week to be interesting. Even if you’re just sharing your morning routine or what you made for dinner people are interested People follow you for you! They want to see you and like i said before people love to see behind the scenes!
5. Show Your Personality!
Your super power is your personality because no one else has one like yours, so embrace it and use it as your super power! The best place to start is owning all the silly things that make you you!!
6. Think of Vulnerability as a Dial
Vulnerability is the bridge to connection. It’s how we create relationships and relatability. Many shy away from it though because it can feel kinda scary! But vulnerability isn’t an on/off switch. Think of it instead like a dial that you can turn. You don’t have to turn it all the way up, but you def wanna turn it at least a little. Getting vulnerable and being authentically you raises your vibration and attracts your tribe!
7. Stop Caring What People Think
People are always going to have opinions… but what is the point of having people in your community who do not resonate with you! Don’t worry about the people who don’t like what you’re sharing and instead focus on those who not only DO like what you’re sharing but who also resonate and connect with what you’re sharing! Just remember you don’t need to please everyone on instagram! Build your brand and create a community of love and support.
Pro tip: If you try to please everybody you wont connect with anybody!
