Travel Kit: computer, smart phone, social media accounts
On the Path:
Step 1 Share your completed work/project on a social media platform that’s relevant to it. For example, if you created an art piece; it is better you upload it on Instagram rather than Snapchat because it is easier to view artwork on Instagram, and you can more effectively caption it. Or, if you are more active on Twitter than Instagram, post on Twitter. It is important to share on a platform where you are familiar with its function, your followers’ activity, and the community’s interests.
Step 2 Timing is very important to when you post your work. A good rule of thumb is to post at hours divisible by three: 9 AM, 12 PM, 3 PM, 6 PM, 9 PM, and 12 AM. These times are when followers are most active as they are usually when people are awake, eating, done working, and about to go to bed. These are hours that people spend the most time on social media.
Step 3 When you post your work online, be sure to know your audience. If you post on a forum that will not interest your followers, it is unlikely that they will pay much attention to the work you posted or even bother looking at it.
Group Tour: Discuss with your partner which social media app you should post your work on. Do you agree with them or disagree? Why did you think of different apps?
Extend Your Journey: Track how well your post is doing before and after you have shared it. See if there is a difference. Does sharing your work on different platforms help?
