Kesha Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 What started as a way to stay connected with friends and family has since evolved into a dynamic way to learn new things, promote your business, or simply find entertainment. What are some of your favorite social media platforms, and how do you use them? Are you always on Pinterest looking for your latest inspiration? Are you a ghost Instagrammer who scrolls but never posts? Or, are you an avid poster who uses social media as part of your personal branding strategy? For me, I stick to Instagram for connection and YouTube for learning. What about you? 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lalitsdmittal Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 I use social media for update myself related to my niche. I used to be a ghost Instagrammer, but one day I thought I only got one life, let's start posting 😁 11 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
priyank_mod Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 I primarily use Instagram to keep up with the meme-culture and reel trends.😎 I used to post a lot of pics on my insta feed but haven't posted anything on the feed in the last 4-5 years because now I prefer stories. They are fun, dynamic and they vanish after 24 hours. 😂 PS I do feel that consumption of 'aesthetic content' on Instagram kinda sharpens our observational abilities, which in turn comes handy for the creative work. 11 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uchihashahin01 Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 Social media is definitely more than just cat videos these days For me, it's a mixed bag. Twitter is my go-to for staying in the loop on current events and catching funny memes (gotta have some laughs, right?). Then there's LinkedIn – all business, all the time, perfect for networking and keeping my professional profile sharp (Tho I am doing this recently, as I am back in fiverr after many years). When it comes to unwinding, YouTube is my happy place. There's literally a tutorial for EVERYTHING!!!!! 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vibronx Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 (edited) I’ve never really used social media to post personal things. In fact, I only have a personal Facebook and that’s it. I don’t post on that either. I mostly use social media for business. I have Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok accounts to promote my video game. I haven’t gone all in on the promotion yet, so I still consider myself a newbie on those platforms (though, I’m light years ahead of most of the digital marketing experts on Fiverr.) I have a decently successful YouTube channel with 94,000 subscribers. I earned a lot of money on that but I sadly got demonetized two years ago (which was fair to be honest) and haven’t posted since. I’ll rebrand it to be focused on the video game I’m developing and delete all the old videos that got me demonetized. And then I hope to finally get that silver play button! Also, I lurk on Reddit, but let’s just say I don’t agree with the hive mind all too often. 😅 Edited July 11 by vibronx 14 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michmikaia Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 I use mostly Youtube because there are a lot of educational content that I needs for my work and projects there. I own one Youtube channel. For me it will not get monetized as my country is not part of Ypp countries list unfortunately. That's why I rarely post something there. Apart from that, I use Facebook, Instagram to stay in touch with friends. And Tiktok for entertainment. 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

creative_howl Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 (edited) I don't use social media much unless it's for work stuff (which is a lot out of my day). So I need to just get away from all that and do real life things with the time I have for myself. But I'm on Youtube often to learn new things, watch entertaining stuff, and listen to music while I work. Social media is great though! Sometimes I too find doom scrolling for hours without knowing what time it is (Reddit / Facebook / Instagram) xD Edited July 13 by creative_howl 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, you definitely have a great mix of platforms and you can get a lot done on those. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TikTok has same flashy lifestyle vibe but different as it's very educative. Just my opinion though. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickj2013 Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 (edited) I use instagram for posting about movies, and to promote on occasion. Twitter (now X), I don't post on nearly as much as I used to. But I use it mostly to scroll for world news, sports news, movie news, watch film trailers, and 'like' and 'reply' to things I'm interested in. Pinterest I use rarely. When I do use it, I add relevant pictures to one of my boards. Facebook I don't use as much as I used to either. Although I have a page, and have alternative plans for it in the future. I still 'like' and 'reply' to posts on a somewhat regular basis though. LinkedIn I use mostly for promotion. Threads I'm starting to get more active on with film and promo stuff. YouTube I use to exclusively to watch film clips, trailers, or music videos. I have a channel but since I've moved on from the movie covering business, and into the writing business, I don't update the channel anymore with trailers, and videos and stuff.

tvoridoyourbest Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 (edited) I use social media mainly to stay in touch with friends and keep up with current events. Instagram is perfect for sharing photos and moments, while Twitter is great for quick updates and following trends. Social media services really help bridge the gap between people and information. How about you? Edited August 7 by tvoridoyourbest 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
