Awesome Social Media Content!

For my SuperFan, I've decided to follow two photographers via Twitter. My first choice is Natalie Frank Photography (@nataliefranke) and my second is Jasmine Star (@jasminestar). I chose these two individuals because for three reasons:

1. I love photography, and the best way to learn is to see and imitate others. I want to understand how these photographers engage their audience via social media. 
2. They post regularly. 
3. They have a LARGE following. They aren't startups, they know what they are doing, and it seems to work well.

According to 10 Quick Tips for Photographer's Who Want to Use Twitter, tip three says, "Be generous with your knowledge." Jasmine Star is amazing at doing this. This was one of her recent posts. She isn't scared to get out there and offer advice to her followers!

In the article 10 Twitter Tips for Photographers and Artists, tip number five is "select the name of the account in a cautious and smartly manner." Branding for these photographer is key. Just like when you select the name of your business, the name of your social media needs to represent your brand. No hokey names or things that you'll come to regret down the road. So while this one doesn't have a specific post associated to it, the names of both photographers and the profile images represent them and their brand.

Tip number four from 7 Twitter Tips for Photographers, "Instagram with caution." I follow Natalie Franke on Instagram, and I love her images, however, as I've looked through her Twitter feed, a lot of it is links to Instagram. It works great for integration, but it doesn't work well with the Twitter platform. It gives you a link instead of a picture. Pictures are what photographers are all about. I feel that Natalie Frank could use some work here.

Tip number four from 10 Quick Tips for Photographer's Who Want to Use Twitter, "Re-tweet only the best content. Don’t mindlessly link to stuff..." I love looking at Natalie Frank's retweeted stuff. She doesn't fill her feed with whimsical quotes from some random user. Rather, she helps build her credibility through retweeting things that are important and that matter to her and her brand. It also helps those she retweets be more influential and credible.

Tip number six, once again from 10 Quick Tips for Photographer's Who Want to Use Twitter, "Don’t use more than one hashtag. The search engines often confuse posts with multiple hashtags as spam." While she occasionally breaks this rule, she never goes all out fanatic on the hashtags. Instead, I've noticed that Natalie Franke's hashtags are spot on. They target exactly what she wants targeted, and they are there for a reason. Her #TuesdaysTogether is a promotion being used by various photographers across all social media platforms. Another thing she does well with hashtags, is that she is consistent through both Instagram and Twitter.
