Using social media to save environment
After the internet has become a common thing in everyday life, the rise of social medias indulged internet users with its bifocal aromas. Nowadays, there are more and more people taking part in social media activities. Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Google+ etc are the most popular social media platforms followed and used by millions of people. The hilarious experience these platforms are offering is unique and never had it been so easy to communicate, respond and share our thoughts. Social medias are now the most effective tool to advertise and sell whatever we have. Whether it is an idea or a product, creating a page and promoting in social media is the beginning of marketing. The most important part in this marketing is the cost; it costs nothing other than the data used for uploading photos.
Apart from business and marketing, social medias are used as a weapon to respond and group. We have seen the impact of Facebook in the riots in the Middle East. It was through social media they spread their messages and called everyone to lineup for revolution. Sadly, even terrorists and people of communalism are also using social medias to promote their beliefs. Keep it apart for a while, this is about the role of social medias in protecting our environment. Isn't it possible to save our nature from pollution by spreading awareness through social medias?
Yes, we can. There are hundreds of pages and groups (to my knowledge) in Facebook for protecting nature. They all are encouraging other users to participate in their activities. And they really are doing great job by organizing campaigns and programs to share the message of protecting nature and importance of green environment. People stand up and raise their hands against any disastrous activity against nature. It is mind blowing to see the number of people join and discuss environmental issues in social medias.
Things to be remembered while taking initiative in social media
Everyone can create a page of a group for promoting environmental activities in social media. But it is important to make sure that it works well and reaches a mass audience. Otherwise, it is a waste of time and energy to wander around there. Let's see a few hints about social media campaigning.
Select suitable Platform
Find out the nature of profile you want to create. If it is for business go for LinkedIn, if it is for organizing something get into Facebook, if you want to reach more people with the profile you have created use Twitter along with Facebook and other platforms. It is crucial to select correct platform to reach mass audience.
Come up with content which is relevant
Write meaningful and informative content. Lousy content will provoke users to go away from your initiative. Use crisp and clear sentences to share information. Never use words of quotes which smell rotten.
Respond
It is important to respond regularly to the questions of comments that would come in your way. Keeping silent will help only to give up the idea.
So, when are you going to start a page or group for saving mother nature?
