Social Media

Now that I've been in to photographing for about 4 years I'm starting to see a growth of interested of my social media page's. Some more then others, at google plus near 12000 people have circled me. +Fredrik Larsson is my google plus page for you who haven't circled me already :-)

On the other hand my photo page on Facebook isn't growing the way that I want it to do. One reason being that I write all in Swedish there. Only about 315 "likes" on my page.

And on Instagram it's like Facebook about 400 followers. My all time low is on twitter, only 45 followers.

Why is this? I mean from 12000 to 45 is quite the drop :-) I guess one of the obvious reasons is the different public. +Guy Kawasaki described it like this:

Twitter = Perception, what happens here and now, for example "Car crash on route 66, 3 injured taken to hospital" Many uses twitter as an update status app, like - "Check out my new blog on shutter speed"

Instagram = Twitter, but with photo's. There is a lake with photo app's for your phone that intergrate with your instagram account. More and more people upload their DSLR pic's to instagram but I still think that phone photos are most common.

Facebook = People, those you want to stay close to, like family members, friends etc. Many update their status based on what they are doing, like "Ahh nothing beats a really hard workout" or "Having a drink on the beach" followed by a photo of a Pina Colada. Another common thing is sharing your baby/pet progress "Look at Steve's first steps" followed by a video. One of the most usual shares, to many annoyance is game invitations to like Candy Crush.

Google Plus = Passion, You have a passion? This is the place for you. For me, my passion is photography and this is made to share beautiful pictures. But also if your not into photographing, it's great. If your passion is dogs, cats, football, soccer, history, gadgets etc there are community's for everyone. With all the integrations with other google apps it can make your social media life online so much easier.

Conclusion :-)
Since my passion is photographing, my go to social media page is google plus, there is where i publish most posts. More posts and interaction = more that take an interest in what you are writing.

Beneath is screenprints on my accounts, if you click the name below the pic you get to that page. Why not "Like, follow or circle?" :-)

Have a great weekend all
