Some campers have already returned home. Others will return soon. Here are 8 tips for sharing that wonderful overnight summer camp experience.
Social media can easily become your best friend without you even knowing it. It’s actually so addictive that hundreds of millions of people around the globe use it on a daily basis. And social media can be fun as well. If you intend to use it to share your overnight summer camp experiences, then we have a guide for you, a guide that will help you make the most out of it. Read on to find out just what you need to know to become a pro sharer and to impress all your friends.
1. Choosing the best social media network for sharing the content
This is not only a matter of preferences but a matter of “suitability” as well. If you are going to share mostly photos, then Facebook or Pinterest may be the most appropriate ones. If you intend to share mostly videos, then be sure to upload them on your personal YouTube account first, as YouTube is known as the “father of online video sharing”. Finally, if you are going to share your stories through personal words, then opt for either Twitter or a personal blog. Twitter is a lot more friendly and user accessible.
2. Use Facebook and Facebook Messenger to communicate
If you want to chat with your beloved ones who are not exactly at the festival, then the best way to do so is Facebook Messenger. This can be installed easily on your mobile device and you can use it to send instant messages whenever you want. As long as the internet signal is fair there shouldn’t be any issues on board.
3. Share the most important events only
Do not share all of the photos and videos that you capture at the festival as you will do nothing else than bore your audience. What you should do instead is share each one along with your own message, something powerful to catch the attention of your friends. This way you will promote your favorite singers and you will capture your friends’ attention as well. A simple quote such as “La Roux is killing it tonight” will definitely become popular within minutes.
4. Don’t forget about Whatsapp
While FB Messenger may seem like an always-on channel for communication, it is commonly used for getting in touch with friends that are not so close. For the ones you truly care about take a look into your Whatsapp, if both you and them are using it. Whatsapp is just like SMS messaging but with some added bonuses, and it’s also instantly. What is more, you can share photos on it just like you would do on FB messenger.
5. Pinterest is for creating stories
If you are the type of guy/girl who could be able to create a beautiful story with only few given images, then Pinterest is the perfect social media for you. You can create sets of amazing photo collages here which all your friends and fans will love. Statistics also show that Pinterest may soon become as popular as Facebook if current users’ interest is maintained, so there is no point not to give it a go.
6. Feel like hating on a singer? Or maybe talk about your recent beers? Try Twitter
There is no better app to share your feelings then Twitter. It is straight, to the point, and makes your voice heard. Even if you are using it for small things such as talking about weather, what you are doing right now, who you hate and so on, it is extremely effective. And you can have it into your pocket at all times. So whenever you feel like you love or despise a song, give Twitter a try, it is definitely worth it. Oh, and if you do have a website or blog, make sure to mention it there as well, as it will get you many visitors.
7. Post your artistic photos on Flickr
Flickr may not be the most popular social network, but it is a gold mine for photo artists. If photographing is your passion, then you must have a Flickr account and few photos on board. Some people are known to have developed their career over there and even complete amateurs received money offers for their photos at times.
8. YouTube is videos’ best friend
YouTube is the best friend of videos, regardless of their length. If you have a video of couple minutes’ length and a good internet connection, then you can have it online within minutes. Just note that some videos may have high MB count especially if they are shot in HD mode, so it’s better to have an unlimited data plan on board. Rest assured, if you make the videos public they will definitely get some views. And you can even monetize them through ads.
