How I plan on using my social media skills?

Hello everyone!

I have learned a lot from the GNML social media campaign. I learned to utilize all these social media platforms for social change. I have being using Blogger to communicate the updates about my social change campaign. I have been using blogger to post about beach- cleanup events happening all around the world, encouraging people to contribute in every way possible.  

As for Twitter, I used it to post photos and provide information to wider group of people about my social media cleanup. I also used Twitter to post inspirational quotes, encouraging people to join in this cause.  Also, my campaign is based upon beach cleanups in Karachi, Pakistan, but I thought of using Twitter to encourage people to clean the beaches in their surrounding communities all around the world. The interesting thing about Twitter is that how easily you can spread your message using 140 characters.

As for YouTube, I learned how we could use visual images/videos to influence the world.  I have used YouTube to spread my campaign and I will use it even in the future to upload powerful videos of the all the events related to my campaign.

I have a Facebook page for my social campaign which I use and will use even in the future to inform people about my campaign. It is a bigger platform for communicating your message across the globe as it can be viewed by a very wide population.

Instagram influences the world through the power of images. Like it is said that a photo is worth a thousand words, in the very same way Instagram can spread the message about my social campaign through the use of images. I can upload photos of beach cleanups that I do and encourage other people to do it too.

LinkedIn is a very interesting platform. You can make a profile and tell the world who you are and what your campaign is about. I want to use LinkedIn to find people related to my campaigns like mine, and want to share my ideas with them and listen to theirs. LinkedIn is not that popular in Pakistan, but I can not only inform people about how useful it us but also use it to communicate with people all around the world.

I think creating a Facebook page about my campaign was very rewarding because I was able to introduce my campaign to a big group of people.

The most challenging was the LinkedIn task. It took me time to figure out what it actually was and how the platform was to be used, owing to the fact that I did not know about LinkedIn.

I plan on using the all these social media skills to promote my social media for social change campaign. These social media skills give me an opportunity to reach out to a bigger group of people.
