How do you get started in using social media?
Before you even begin, it is important that you are able to build a solid plan before creating different kinds of accounts. You can decide to ask the following questions before you start: Who is my target audience? What would they be interested in? What would they not probably like? What do I intend to achieve? Once you are able to answer those questions, then you can start to jump on the social media bandwagon and create an account of your own. Make sure that everything you post is relevant to the topic, fun, fresh and something that the readers will enjoy.
