Social media lets us reach millions of people around the world, with the click of a button.

BUT, as Spiderman’s Uncle Ben said, “With great power comes great responsibility.”

The truth is social media is an unpredictable beast. If you don’t know how to work with it, you could end up wrecking your reputation.

Here are 3 mistakes to avoid at all costs:

#1 – Never React Angrily to a Comment

Anger will make you seem petty and vindictive. Respond with rational maturity if you notice a comment you don’t like. If all else fails, remove the person from your social circle and move on.

#2 – Never Share a “Perfect” Persona

If all you do is share staged selfies and posts about your “perfect life,” you’ll seem fake and egotistical… and you’ll lose followers by the truckload.

#3 – Never Tear People Down

Behind every post is a human being with feelings. Be supportive. Never critical, negative or insensitive.
