Do you have
social currency?
Definition:
A common term that can be understood as the entirety of actual and potential
resources which arise from the presence in social networks and communities, may
they be digital or offline
Do you post
pictures on Instagram of what you had for lunch? Or maybe you post about your migraine
head ache on Twitter? Do other people
build social currency with you? Maybe you follow healthy profiles. These profiles may have built social currency
with you because of their great posts on how to stay fit. Next time you post something maybe you will
think twice about its importance? Are you gaining social currency or losing
social currency in the community? In
order to gain social currency one must connect and touch everyone in masses. Are your posts original? Are you trying to
spread word about something you are passionate about? Mary Pipher says the most important thing a
writer can do is connect. Next time you are on a social network, connect! Gain
some points in the social currency arena.
“Words are
the most powerful tools at our disposal. With them, writers have saved lives
and taken them, brought justice and confounded it, started wars and ended them.
Writers can change the way we think and transform our definitions of right and
wrong.” – Mary Pipher
