Currently there are millions of users uploading online and all posting Tweets, Snapchats, Instagram posts, Facebook status and YouTube videos. It’s estimated that every second there are over 6,000 tweets sent on Twitter which adds up to a whopping 200 billion tweets per year. It can be hard to hear yourself, let alone get anyone else to listen to you, in the massive digital swimming pool that’s crowded with celebrities, comedians, stay at home moms, young professionals, school children, and even grandparents. However, we’ve come up with a few tips and tricks you can use to help get you noticed!

Be Yourself At All Times

People don’t want to talk to fake, disingenuous celebrity wannabes or chat to someone who you can tell doesn’t mean what they say just by their expression. Humans are naturally drawn to warm, personable individuals who obviously care about people and animals, are genuine and authentic in their responses plus they’re funny to boot! Everyone has a story to tell, so ahead and start telling yours today through fashion posts, photography, drawing, writing music, or memes. Whatever you’re into start talking about it and you’ll soon find yourself inundated with requests from people who love the same stuff.

Design An Incredible Graphic Logo

We’re pretty visual creatures otherwise Tinder wouldn’t be half as successful as it is so use the fact we’re much more likely to look at something than read about it. You might have the best bio in the world, but no one’s going to care because your avatar is poorly lit, uninteresting or not even of you. Yes, you’d be surprised by just how many of us choose to have cartoons, our pets or even other people representing our image online. To make yourself even more visible use a free banner maker to make your Facebook cover, Blog header or Twitter bio really pop by creating a unique, interesting design. Why not incorporate your hobbies or your name into the banner to attract new followers?

Know What’s Trending And Use It

Right now it’s Hatchimals but in the summer it was all about endless memes of short lived couple Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston. Before that, the social media verse was inundated with creative tributes to the incredible late musician David Bowie. Check out what’s trending online and come up with your own spin on things, post a video discussing the topic or some Instagram pics of you doing the same activity. Once something goes viral, you’ll be flooded with people subscribing to your channel, account or feed.

Talk To Your Followers More

Many of us tend to forget the social aspect of social media as we’re too busy uploading the fantastic dinner we had last night, our view out the office window or what we did at the weekend. Use the platforms to actually talk to people by posting questions. Invite people to submit their comments, thoughts, and ideas as well as regularly hosting Q&A sessions, day in the life snapchats, and vlogs on different topics. You’ll be surprised just how many followers people get by spending five minutes interacting with ones they’ve already got.
