Table of Contents

Wondering which social media platform you are most similar to or which you should focus your efforts on based on what you are looking to get out of it? Take this quiz that I created with Riddle and see for yourself!

Which social media platform fits you?

There are now seven main social media tools you can use to promote yourself and your business. But you can't fake authenticity, so which tool will allow you to truly be yourself online?

Twitter

You might be expecting us to be describing you as short and to the point but that would be a tall story. We know you are much more focused on sharing and caring. Twitter is all about focusing on specific subjects and bringing in the intelligence of crowds.
Of course there are negative elements but we trust you to rise above that with style and grace. Just remember that hashtags are your friend!

LinkedIn

You, more than most, are more likely to focus on sharing useful information rather than photos of cats playing chess! You also have a fascination with people. More that you have a long term plan to your social media time. In fact it is more likely to be classed as networking than playing on social media!

YouTube

All the world's a stage and you know it's better to have 15 minutes of fame rather than 15 seconds! The fascinating thing about YouTube is that it works for both introverts and extroverts. And this appeals to your well-structured approach to life. So it's time for camera, lights and ACTION!

Instagram

You know that people buy from people and you're not shy in putting yourself out there in the name of fun and business. This is why Instagram is such a good match for you. Your laid-back artistic streak is a natural fit with Instagram – just make sure you know the best hashtags!

Periscope

Now you see me, now you don't! You're an ‘in the moment' type of inspirational person who likes living in the here and now. This makes you perfect for the exciting medium of Periscope. There's no need to plan for hours if you already know what you're going to say!

A natural-born collector, displayer and explainer; you can use pictures to say a great many words about yourself and your product. A friendly soul, you are open to collaboration and fun win-win situations. And we know that people will love sharing their lives with you.

I got YouTube but I’m obsessed with Periscope. Although I find that my topics of Body & Mind Detox get very deep & it’s annoying for me to see viewers coming and going throughout my talk on Periscope lol!
