Embrace Social Media, But It’s Still A Mystery Too
There are some high-profile models who remain low-key on social media. Kate Moss is one such example; she is press shy and never takes snapshots in public. She posts important photos but remembers to always keep it a mystery. Don’t keep posting spam; Please maintain some moderation in your post. You definitely want to avoid the effect of irritating your followers by constantly appearing everywhere on their social networks, especially if you post things that are less important, like photos of cats or food. Give it a few days off and intervals between posts, and remember that less is more. If you don’t have anything good, don’t post it. More importantly, staying low also means less chance of making offensive posts. To move up the social media attractiveness ladder, it is important that posts have good quality control and that they retain fans and followers, thus maintaining their attractiveness for a longer period of time.
Choose your platform wisely
This ultimately depends on your commitments and position in life and there are many cases. However, you can cheer yourself up with supermodels like Tyra Banks and Coco Rocha, who have millions of followers across multiple platforms and spend time connecting with their fans despite their busy schedule and lifestyle. Coco Rocha, for example, has amassed millions of fans across 13 social media platforms.
If you tend to be busy, as most of us juggle part-time modeling with a full-time career or education, and have a host of other responsibilities and commitments. In such a case, it is better to focus your attention and energy on specific platforms that will enhance your position as a model. The top platform would definitely be classified as Instagram. Its layout and design is best suited to your ability to easily share visual content such as images and videos. Although hash tags are very common on most media platforms, they are effectively used on Instagram to track images and videos. Also, the beauty of Instagram is the ability to easily scroll through the feed, engage by liking, and stay up to date on the latest fashion trends and modeling content easily. You can follow the modeling agencies and stay up to date on the latest job offers and the progress of the agencies as well.
The next best platforms are Facebook, followed by Twitter, and then Snapchat. The dynamics of each of these platforms is different and also for different target audiences. But when it comes to modeling, Instagram is still the best platform available and if time is an issue, focusing on Instagram would allow an aspiring model to gain maximum benefit.
If you have any humanitarian cause, post about it and show the world that your true nature and personality is beyond the skin in the content you post and talk about. I hope one day we will find you being an influential personality on social media!
