“We also still speak of channels. This is originally derived from advertising or communication channels. Social media, especially social networks, are only limited channels. They are an exchange, interaction and place of media gathering of people with the same interests ...

Bjorn Troch is three years old Welt travelled. What is particularly exciting is that he let his social media followers largely determine his travel destinations and thus his life during these three years. He now has 15.000 of them, and he reaches a total of 50.000 people every month. And they gave him tips for the trip, invited him, supported him, provided him with information Tasks, found him jobs and sponsors. Its amazing Concept he introduces on his website and in this video.

The special thing about the Idea: Troch also actively involves people – for example, he cycled 5 kilometers through Asia in a tandem for 5000 months and always took someone with him. He deliberately avoided blogging, active self-PR or the targeted search for sponsors: “I didn't want to be found via search engines, I wanted to show that it works to do everything through recommendations. One contact always leads to the next,” he explains. This Network Building up takes time, of course: "Social media is a marathon, but a lot of people try to sprint," says Bjorn.

Social life at home too

Again and again, in between, Bjorn settles down, for example he lives in Berlin. He continues his social concept here too: He always likes to go out alone to meet new people and see what's happening. He stopped to plan, notes Bjorn. And complains that many people spend too much time with a smartphone

"Mine just broke - and I now live so much more quietly. People should talk to each other much more, even to strangers, for example on the train; away from the I-Phone to the We-Phone. ”

8 tips to use social media actively socially and meaningfully

So social media offers considerable opportunities to make your own life better, more beautiful and more communicative. Of course there are also those risks. 8 tips at a glance.

  1. Reputation Management: You cannot control your own image and reputation on the Internet, but you can actively influence it positively. It is important that you do it right and stay on the ball - for example, by answering social media channels.
  2. Show yourself human: Social media offers everyone a good chance to show themselves as an individual and personality and not just as an anonymous member of the crowd. And companies can also show their entire corporate culture here as a human organization, away from the anonymous negative image. However, this presentation doesn't start with Facebook but with the right intention.
  3. Build up trust: Markets are talks. Like in the village square, a virtual village square, so to speak. Getting to know each other creates trust. It is no wonder that even more and more business and job vacancies are handled via social media, mostly through recommendations that require trust.
  4. Get to know other people better: Social media helps to get to know virtual contacts better. Incidentally, this also applies to companies: through dialogue with customers and applicants, they can better assess what the target group wants and also expects.
  5. Each pot has a lid: Since social media is individual and works on a recommendation basis, it helps to find the right, exactly right people for a project.
  6. Innovation: Last but not least, social media is also an innovative medium: through networking, we can all react more quickly to changes and technical innovations - be it because we can find suitable contacts faster through our network of recommendations or respond to other people's wishes.
  7. Say your own opinion, set topics: Nobody who wants to say something about a topic is still dependent on press work and journalists, but can put topics on the agenda themselves and react independently to messages and contributions to discussions - for example, especially in blogs.
  8. Develop your own profile: It is important that you don't follow every trend online, but develop your own profile that also stands for your own personality. This requires a panic-free discussion of the topic of social media - and also an awareness that this panic is sometimes artificially stoked.
