I don't know about you but I am irritated by those posts that try to entice you by buy FOLLOWERS on Twitter or LIKES on Facebook. Why not? Because you can attract your own followers and likes and it is easy. How? Use beautiful images, funny cartoons, inspiring quotes, awe-inspiring photography with similar results.
There are popular social media platforms that at first glance you think it is the land of the "selfie" and in many accounts it is. Then again, like anything online today, YOU have the power to x-out, close or block any unseemly or unappetizing visuals.
If you have something to say on social media, it will gain a significantly larger viewership than if it is simply text on its own. Take for example, some of my favorites lately:
Nothing says hi-5, thank you, right on, cheers, better than bump it!
People like flowers. Magnify a quote, give thanks or show appreciation.
Cute kids are a favorite to use to express meaning or create inspiration.
Worldly advice, quotes, age or maturity
Beautiful world: For poetry or song sunsets and oceans romanticize.
Setting suns, sailboats, water set wing to your thoughts and wishes.
Glorious skies in abundant colors for wisdom, dreams and faith
Celebrate events with fireworks that sparkle your words with color
Isolation is not always a sad thing with words.
Clashing emotions with self discovery can bring peace
Moonlight shadows create inspiring emotions
Whimsical and refreshing with the cherry on top
God and faith inspires many who find peace with words
Mother Nature is always hard at work to bring us beauty
Childhood and innocence are virtues that we like to revisit
Cats are popular characters for our imagination
Discover new places and adventure to far away lands.
People's faces teach us about tragedy, triumph and acceptance
Understanding bridges acceptance to unknown worlds and people.
Understanding bridges acceptance to unknown worlds and people.
Black and white or color: we enjoy sifting through beautiful images.

REFERENCE: Selfie
A selfie is a self-portrait photograph, typically taken with a hand-held digital camera or camera phone. Selfies are often shared on social networking services such as Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and Tumblr.

“When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence.”
