Social media as a networking portal has helped alot of individuals get lifelong jobs, start up a career and most entrepreneurs would especially testify to this fact, that the online world is one of the biggest platform to connect with business like-minds. For some people, It is a medium to interact with fans and publicize their art.
But with all it's numerous benefits, social networks has overtime, proven to have a great downside to one's life if not properly managed/handled. I mean, we have people whose careers and relationships has gon south simply because of their perilous display of frivolousness on social media.
To avoid scandals and image-degradations from potential sly-foxes roaming everywhere online, here are some steps you should take. Add yours if any!
1. DO NOT POKE YOUR NOSE ON PEOPLE'S AFFAIR: If you respect 'your person' and do not want your personality tainted with scandalous hearsays, then you must have to stay in your lane. Though its no harm to sometimes sneak-peak on folks or try to have fun off trending issues by engaging in them but doing it so frequently and to the detriment of some other person's reputation? ...please dont! Always try to know the limit to how you relate with folks.
2. KNOW WHAT YOU SHARE WITH FRIENDS: Like they say - Not everybody who calls you my friend, my friend, is indeed a friend
Be mindful of the kind of people you share your personal information with on social media. Always keep personal stuffs simply Personal!!!
.....Even when you feel an online-friend has given you enough reason to trust him or her, i think that's when you should actually become more mindful of them.
3. DONT BE A TROLL: If you really want your E-life to remain in its most reputable form, one that's not tainted with defamatory and unsavory allegations, then trolling online is what you should really keep on arm's length.
A troll is someone who provokes others to their own personal amusement or sometimes, to cause disruption. So why would you be thinking of becoming such a person if really you're a responsible individual who wish to be taken seriously? People whole troll online at the end of the day, ends up being shamed and victimised greatly.
4. KNOW WHAT YOU UPLOAD: Why do i feel like almost everyone of us are guilty of this
- i mean uploading raunchy pictures or showing off our furtunes and
assets all in a bid of trying to 'impress' our friends online. Now for
you to enjoy social media to the fullest you must beware of the kind of
image you put up here. Its not everything you 'must' publicize.Be it your relationship life or your pictorial personal-documents - think twice before you put it up online because the world is indeed a small village, little things can go a long way really.
So many people has lost out on job opportunities simply because their potential employers mere did a google research of them and found out what they're online.
5. Do Not Click On Untrusted Links I think this is self-explanatory. Hackers are everywhere online. All they need do is get you to click on a link and they'd have full access to your personal documents.
Do not click on any link unless you trust its source.
