We are so excited to partner with Dr. Walter Hidalgo with a goal of being more socially aware. Here, he answers your questions and shares advice on life and wellness while living in a social media-driven world.
DEAR THE VIRGO GIRL,
I am over fifty and have to use social media for my business but I often get high anxiety over it because I don’t know how to keep up with the trends or manage the pages effectively. What should I do to keep from being overwhelmed when it comes to my business social media?
Advice from Dr. Walter Hidalgo: This is interesting to me because this is where the teacher is no longer the teacher, but the student. I suggest two things. A) Partner up with a young person (family, friend, etc.) and get pointers/lessons from them. You’d be surprised how knowledgeable our young people are (not to mention they are willing to help!). B) YouTube is a great (FREE) resource that has tons of tutorials that can help you with your social media needs and beyond. All in all, the most important thing that I want you to take from this is not to feel overwhelmed. That is to say, just because the internet/social media is fast-paced does not mean you have to be. Learn the process and steps that are necessary before you “ride the internet wave.”.
