To be âpeepedâ is to be noticed, seen and/or heard of.
Now that weâve learned the word of the day letâs drop these two cents.
Alright. So. Boom â As of April 2017, Instagram reached 700 million active users. Thatâs a really big number. If you have an Instagram, then you are apart of one of the biggest online communities next to Facebook. Although youâre one in 700 million, you a reason the number exist.
With that being said, take a look at how many followers you have. Each one has the ability to see your life because youâve allowed them to do so. Most of the time when we get on social media weâre looking at someone elseâs feed/profile, liking their pictures and posting our own sporadically.
The other day I was with a friend, politicing. We were talking about (not necessarily in a negative way) intriguing people that we follow. They ranged from fashion personalities, nail techs, artist, chefs + anything we saw on the popular page. Mid round table discussion the question hit me, âAre people on our pages like we are on theirs?â
Think about it.
No one knows who visits their profile everyday, especially if itâs public instead of private. Your profile is like a party that you try and get people to RSVP to but instead they show up last minute with a plus one. Each of your followers, probably have and can, show your profile to anyone. Letâs be real, there is no such thing as a privacy with a social media account. Itâs just a feature that makes you think you posted somewhere secluded. Whole time, I see you my guy.
Thatâs just how the game goes.
Iâm usually not one to give others tips, âcause Iâm still figuring things out myself, but Iâm going to do it anyways.
- Youâre networking even when you ainât networking. Your profile is open twenty four hours a day, 365 days a year. If you think no one is looking at you, then youâre definitely playing yourself.
- Everybody sees everything these days. If they say they didnât see your post, they lying. People follow you cause they care to track your progress. Just because they didnât like or comment, doesnât mean they didnât see it.
- âThey be showing fake love.â â Kodak Black.
- Youâre not the only person whose, âPeep game is STRONG.â Everybody investigates.
- Screenshot is one hell of an invention. No matter if you uploaded and deleted a post hella fast, or so you think, somebody has ended up getting a screenshot. Well technically we donât know for a fact they did but weâre gonna assume because people move with the quickness when they think theyâre getting the inside scoop. Thereâs a possibility that your picture is sitting in someoneâs phone gallery across the country.
- USE SOCIAL MEDIA FOR WHAT ITâS WORTH! I use my personal profile as a portfolio as well, kind of. You control what people see. How a person perceives you is totally up to the content you post. You yourself are a brand, whether you see it that way or not.
In the times of today, people have an impression of you before you ever meet. Use that to your advantage and make sure the person you are online is the same person you are in the real world. Thatâs all I got for yâall today. Everybody stay ready to peep something that has nothing to do with them or isnât beneficial. Instead of peeping that, peep dis.
