The Ten Commandments of Social Media

by Edie Melson @EdieMelson


Today's post is short and sweet, but I hope you have as much fun reading it as I did writing it!

1. Thou shalt always promote others ahead of thyself.
2. Thou shalt not have a running self-promotion commercial for a news feed.
3. Thou shalt add substance and value—not trivia—to those who like and follow thee. 
4. Thou shalt not hog the stream—of any social media network thou are a part of.
5. Thou shalt interact with those who comment upon and share thy updates.
6. Thou shalt not post negative or hurtful things about others, no matter how thou art treated.
7. Thou shalt take time to edit thyself before posting.
8. Thou shalt not plague others with game requests—ever.
9. Thou shalt be an authentic person online and not a Debby downer or perky Pollyanna.
10. Thou shalt not post in haste or anger.
As an added bonus, I've designed poster for you to download. Here's the link to The 10 Commandments of Social Media Poster. (see below)
