Social Media Verification Mistakes You Should Avoid

Getting verified is a big deal on a social media platform. It basically tells the world that you have met a standard that is way above the average account. It also helps to authenticate your account and allow for persons who want to follow your account find you easily. Being uninformed on what to do to create appeal and draw followers to the account, will make verification a lot harder. Coupled with other factors such as poor communication, irrelevant content and poor presentation a lot of mistakes can be made that would negatively affect your chances of verification. Getting help from people who have been verified may not help, as the reason that you have might not have been given the blue tick, may be different from theirs. Verification is dependent on various factors that may not only come

 down to follower numbers. Don’t spend all your time following the steps used by other account holders that will only take up your time and still not give you that social media royalty mark that you are searching for. Knowing what to avoid while improving your brand and moving toward verification is a key component to getting this blue tick feature on your account.

Poor use of Imagery
Presentation of content is one f the things that many persons underestimate. Distorted images, obscured angles blocking clear view of products and improper lighting are some of the mistakes that persons make when showcasing products. Video presentation is also a sore point sometimes as not all content that is uploaded is visible or edited properly to pass on the intended content. Properly directing a photo or video shoot may be timely but it may be the difference in getting a positive review from followers or persons totally ignoring your material.  

Unclear/Poor communication
Be clear and be concise. These are two of the things that keep persons in the verification cold for some time. Using clear understandable language to your follower group is an effective way to transfer your thoughts and concepts to them without anyone falling behind and losing interest. Get to the point and make what you say matter. Giving information in loops and rounds distorts the intention of the information and allows for ideas to be lost in transit.

Getting too personal
It is important not to get too emotionally involved in conversations with your followers. When direct messaging persons on your platform it is important to regulate your response in order to properly assess what was said and how to respond. If the feedback that you are giving seems overly personal, offensive or in any way contrary to the platforms regulations, this will see your verification interest being compromised or made completely impossible.

Posting content with bad grammar
To you it may be just a few misspelled words but it’s a lot more than that. Make sure that your content presentation is of a consistently high quality. Always remember that trying to get verification is like doing an audition. If and when you are given the blue tick you are representing yourself as well as the platform that has seen it fit to grant you the mark. Improper grammar and deviations from the accepted norm of conversations will create some limitations in your attempts to be among the list of verified royals.
A verified account is a much revered and sought after feat. Putting in some effort to get the construct and content right will enable you to capitalize on the benefits that come with it. Many persons tend to make simple mistakes that cost them their time and in some cases money, which eventually ends with them chasing after verification without success.
