Practical tips on navigating Social Media
In expanding the conversations about exploiting the value of social media for development, this open space section delved into how social media can be used to harness positive change. It was a practical hands-on session and based on the needs of the participants, the facilitator spoke about how to open personal accounts and create simple posts on two platforms namely LinkedIn and Twitter. The following steps were highlighted on how to create an account on LinkedIn. - Sign up with your email address. - Create a new password and confirm the password. - Building your connections by following people relevant to your field. - Post frequently about your niche so people can get to connect with you. - Spotlight the services you offer on your bio. - List relevant skills related to your field of expertise. The next series was how to get verified on twitter in few simple steps - Provide the link to an official website that references you (or your organization) and your Twitter account. - Provide a photo of a valid official government issued identification document, such as your Driver’s License or Passport. - Provide an official email address with a domain relevant to the notability category you choose. The session was very informative and helpful as the facilitator was able to show participants how to carry out simple tasks and go about the necessary procedures to achieve the desired results when it comes to social media platforms and engagements.Reactions
