- What are the benefits of a diverse and inclusive PLN in social media sharing that understands where you are coming from with messaging that impacts the community?
- For people sharing on social media, a diverse and inclusive PLN has many benefits. First of all, having a diversified PLN means that creators will have a wider space for dissemination, which can help people convey their opinions and information more effectively. Secondly, inclusive PLN can attract people from different fields, and at the same time increase the number of its own followers. With the increase in the number of visits, the influence of the content will gradually expand.
- Consider the audiences and how we adapt our messaging accordingly.
- In order to attract more audiences, we first need to understand the public’s preferences and ideas, for example, keep up with current events and current popular hot topics. Or some topics that have been discussed by the public but have not reached a clear conclusion, and so on. Secondly, we need to use more interesting ways to develop content, such as videos, pictures, etc., for long-form discussions, most people are impatient to read. The most important thing is that we must ensure that the information posted is true and reliable, and is very useful for people, such as some tips or trivia.
- Research our guest and see how they leveraged their network into a campaign.
- When researching our guest Markiel Simpson, we can find that his PLN is very diverse and inclusive. He is not only a construction manager, but also involved in many community and political activities. From the initial self-study, it became a gathering of a group of people. There, he fought for the rights of people of color, not just discussing issues in writing, but convening some like-minded people to solve problems together, thus expanding his social circle and increasing the topic’s attention. So he formed a social circle, which made his election activities easier.

Thanks for sharing. It’s true that social media need to know public’s preference. People will always be attracted to what is popular. And the lesser noticed views are more likely to attract an audience.
