Social media is a regular part of my daily routine. My days are filled with social media platforms, whether catching up with friends, completing a project, or looking for new trends and ideas. I love how they allow me to stay connected with others, share my interests and hobbies, and remain informed about the latest developments.
As a digital marketer, I frequently visit industry-specific websites like Search Engine Journal and Adweek to stay up-to-date on the latest trends and strategies in my field. I also regularly check the Microsoft Advertising blog for insights and updates from one of the major players in the industry.
In addition to these professional resources, I also use a variety of social platforms for both personal and professional purposes such as:
LinkedIn: A social media platform exclusively designed to facilitate professional networking. That is my go-to platform for connecting with fellow professionals and finding exciting content related to my job. Millions of people use it to communicate with colleagues, job opportunities, and industry experts worldwide.
Pinterest: A social media platform that helps users discover and share ideas and inspiration. I usually use Pinterest for inspiration, DIY ideas, and research on new trends and techniques.
Facebook: A social media platform that allows users to connect with their friends and family and with communities of people who share similar interests. I usually go on Facebook to connect with friends and family, especially those old friends who find it hard to keep in touch.
Instagram: A social media platform that users can use to share photos and videos and connect with friends and followers. I usually like to go to Instagram to post some life moments, check what is going on in my friend’s life, and find out new trends and products.
I try to be mindful of the content I consume on social media and avoid anything that might be controversial or negative. While platforms like Facebook and Instagram can be great for staying in touch with friends and family, they can also be breeding grounds for unhealthy comparisons and unrealistic expectations. That’s why I prefer to focus on uplifting content and use LinkedIn and Pinterest to stay informed and motivated in my career.
One thing I enjoy about social media, especially as a digital marketer, is the opportunity to sign up for emails from different companies and organizations. While I’m not always swayed by these emails to make a purchase, I appreciate well-written subject lines that pique my curiosity and entice me to click through. It’s interesting to see how different brands are reaching out to their customers and what strategies they use to engage their audience. Overall, social media and industry-specific resources can be valuable tools for staying informed and motivated throughout the day as long as I use them mindfully and with purpose.
Businesses’ use of social media platforms has become an essential tool for reaching and engaging their customers. Many businesses now have an active presence on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn and use these platforms to promote their products and services and interact with their customers. Overall, it is clear that digital media is playing an increasingly important role in marketing, and businesses need to stay up-to-date on the latest trends and developments to reach and engage with their customers effectively.
I absolutely can’t wait for my daily social media routine every day! As soon as I wake up, I eagerly check my emails and social media accounts before even getting out of bed. After I’ve had my coffee, I love connecting with my professional connections on LinkedIn and checking all of my emails for the day. To finish the day, I enjoy connecting with friends and relaxing before bed. It’s the perfect way to start and end my day!
