Celebrities sure have a way of "oversharing" in their social media sites, whether it's on Instagram or Twitter. Katy Perry lets out a couple of friendly and helpful tips for celebrities who like to indulge on their accounts.
These days, celebrities like to go to their Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter accounts when announcing something grand, and it's the same when they're posting regular and personal updates. Though it's a quicker and easier way to connect to fans, it can also be the fastest route to mass criticism. The "Roar" singer, who has more than 58 million Facebook fans and 45 million Twitter followers, says there is such thing as being "at your best" when exposing private moments on social media sites.
"I've learned how to ride social media," the singer quipped. "I have horrible typos. I use 'there' or 'your' wrong grammatically. But I feel like I've learned how to tame that social media dragon," says Perry in a report by USA Today.
The "California Gurls" singer stated that following the principle of "less is more" will prevent any kind of backlash from fans and critics. Perry further shared online ideals celebrities must engage in, so they can have a kind of web presence that's likely to be respected.
Here are some of her tips:
"When you decide to have a glass of wine, put the phone down. Don't drink and tweet."
"Don't be self-indulgent."
"Don't use it just to promote yourself. That's boring."
Perry also shared what she thought about celebrities using their Twitter and Facebook accounts to address rumors. This might come in handy for Miley Cyrus and Sinead O'Connor, who recently had a tug-o-war with open letters and lewd replies.
"I see a lot of celebrities send out messages like that online, and I think, 'Sweetheart, nobody knows about this so-called issue because we don't have you on Google Alert. You're just throwing another log on the fire.' I do it only in extreme cases if someone is jeopardizing my character," says the singer in the same USA Today post.
Surely, celebrities get a regular dose of 'haters' replying on their every post, and Perry has a fool-proof technique on how to be unaffected when negative comments rain in.
"I don't know they exist because I don't give them attention. If you tried to please everyone, you'd have no sense of self. You'd lose yourself in the process of being a people-pleaser and there'd be nothing unique left," states Katy.
Rihanna and Kim Kardashian can keep this mantra in mind, especially that their recent Instagram posts influenced thousands of negative comments about their actions. The ever-gracious Perry surely has her image tight and spotless, all thanks to her proper and decent use of these social media streams.
