profession, but also responsible for a brand that collaborates with other influential

26. BACK TO BASICS: A TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE!
WHAT IS…?
• The most important
thing you’d go back to
tell your Police Youth
Group Members about
Public Relations that you
only learned today
• One word to describe
how you felt about
social media before this
class, and one word to
describe how you feel
now.
1. Secure your privacy. Make sure you're screening out people you're not actively friends with as far as who can see your photos, updates, friends and personal data. The easiest way to do this is to make yourself "unsearchable." Once you've done this, you don't have to worry about "liking" a page (such as that of a store, a movie, or a genre of music). People will see that you're in the group, but your updates will not be visible to them.
2. Limit your personal revelations. That "oversharing" I referred to earlier can be a big problem unless you learn how to filter your status updates. Don't be that tedious Facebook user who releases each thought or experience you've ever had into cyberspace. To make sure that you keep those revelations in control, never go on Facebook when you've had a mood-altering substance (alcohol, drugs, etc.) or when you're super-tired.
3. Stay positive. Once in a while it's okay to make a sarcastic observation, especially if it's one that you think your Facebook friends will enjoy. Or if you've had a particularly bad experience and need a virtual hug, you'll be likely to receive one, as long as every post you make isn't in the Debbie Downer category. If you notice the Facebook posts that draw the most likes from people, they tend to be the ones that are upbeat. The same goes for comments on other people's posts. Don't feel that you need to make a snarky remark to some corny or inappropriate update that someone else shared.
4. Keep your audience in mind. You can definitely keep your posts private, but that's no guarantee that someone in your circle won't pass your public comment around to someone else. If that someone else is a boss, in-law, or ex, this could be embarrassing if not calamitous. Facebook posts should follow the same rule as email. Imagine that anyone could be reading it, not just your intended audience. That should put your inner censor to work.
5. Don't use Facebook during work hours (usually). Some people's jobs don't require that they segregate personal from work time on the computer, but in general, it's not good form to post anything during regular work hours. Looking like you have too much time on your hands, or that you lack attentional focus is not the best way to impress your supervisors, your clients, or even your family.
6. Don't use Facebook to rub your success in other people's faces. Following tip #4, above, where you keep your audience in mind, that audience will probably cheer you on for your successes, but they may get fed up if you do nothing but brag. Sure, you've got the best house, vacation, kids, spouse/partner, salary, etc. etc., but if you constantly remind everyone how much better you have it than they do, eventually they'll just hide your posts (they can do that, you know!).
7. Don't let other people's successes make you feel bad. The counterpart to tip #6 is that you don't start to get down on yourself when you see how much better others have it than you do. If things get unbearable, then it's your turn to hide their posts.
To sum up, the rules of Facebook aren't that different from the rules of everyday interactions with your friends and family. If you use Facebook wisely, you'll find it can enhance the quality of your online and real-life interactions with your friends and loved ones.
– and even if the information they have may be wrong, as an you are there as an authority to guide correctional paths, not to create tension in conversations online.
- even when using slangs use “ “ to keep standard English important on your real estate.
– do not be long winded or overly complicated. If you think a question requires a detailed response, guide the person to an more private space, such as an email or even a telephone call.
