✈︎ pairing: jungkook x [redacted] (at the very end)

✈︎ warnings: alcohol consumption

✈︎ summary: A look into what it's like arriving to Bangtania...

Everyday, since the very beginning when it was announced, you have sat at your computer or been on your phone in order to participate in the giveaway for a chance to go to Bangtania Island. Every week, one lucky person has a chance to win an exclusive invitation from the girls who organized it, all expenses paid for them to relocate out there.

Friday couldn’t have come soon enough; your job was draining. A typical 9-5, doing office work was monotonous and you slogged through the week waiting for your weekends to come. Despite the wish to find something else, nobody was hiring in your city. Not for anything you wanted to do, anyways. Deep in your gut you felt the need for something more, instead of the repetitious clacking of your fingers against the keyboard, answering the phones, and feeling like a machine.

Fortunately, it’s the weekend, so you decide to stop and grab a bottle of wine and make your way home. You’re ready to unwind with some youtube videos and spend time browsing your social media for anything interesting. You pour a glass of wine and relax on the sofa, open your laptop and log in to twitter. You have a few notifications, including an update from the giveaway page, they had posted there was another winner chosen and that the winner would receive an email shortly.

“That was 30 minutes ago!?” You squeal to yourself, an unexplainable feeling creeping over you.

Just then your phone chimes, and you unlock the screen to check your notifications. You have multiple email notifications, so you check your email app as you sip your wine. Scrolling through them, it’s mainly junk mail, you see one that catches your eye.

Sender Name: Bangtania Island Mayor

Subject: You have been cordially invited…

Y/N,

Congratulations! You have been selected as the next lucky winner to be invited to Bangtania Island. In order to accept this invitation, please click on the link and fill out the application. Documents you may need to gather prior to completing the forms in the link are:

Driver’s License

Social Security Card

Passport

Please make sure to include the earliest date for you to travel, and please have your physical completed prior to boarding the plane. All documents needed are attached to the email. Please make sure to electronically sign them and reply to this email with the completed documents. If you have any questions in regards to the forms, please do not hesitate to reach out. Upon completion of all required documents per your reply email, you will receive your e-ticket for travel.

The following are the guidelines and stipulations for traveling to Bangtania Island:

You will receive a one-way ticket, free of cost. You will be picked up from the airport and transported to the boat, which will bring you to the island. You will be given a limited amount of time to decide if you would like to stay as a permanent resident of Bangtania, approximately 2 weeks. Prior to you being granted full access to the island, you will meet with the Deputy Mayor who will greet you at the dock, completing a brief in-person interview. If you decide to leave or prove unfit for the island at that time, a complimentary ticket home will be provided to you up until the 2-week window.

Thank you,

Vanessa

Deputy Mayor of the Mayor’s Office, Bangtania Island

You couldn’t stop yourself from spilling some wine as you low-key panicked. You knew there was a very good possibility of being chosen; some of your mutuals on twitter had already left to go there, and while you had seen them briefly on the TL, it was never for long and they didn’t say anything other than that they were enjoying themselves immensely and to share the sweepstakes link.

You set down what was left of your wine that hadn’t spilt into your lap, and ran around your room, pulling clothes off of their hangers and out of your dresser drawers before you remembered you hadn’t even clicked the link to complete the forms.

Pausing in the middle of your bedroom, arms filled with random clothes, you took 7 deep breaths to try and calm down before dropping your handful of clothes into your pen and waiting suitcase. Sitting back down, you calmly clicked the link and once transported to the secure website, you filled in the information needed so that your flight could be purchased for you as well as any other accommodations you may need could be handled by the ones in charge.

You printed out the forms needed for the physical, jotted down some notes to go to the doctor on Monday to complete the form, and decided that the earliest you would be able to fly out was Wednesday. That gives you enough time to go to your job, request use of your vacation hours for the next 2 weeks, and turn in your two week notice. You didn’t ever want to come back to that shit hole.

You celebrated the news by turning up your bluetooth speaker and blasting your favorite upbeat BTS songs while you packed up everything you would need. Hasta La Vista!

Catching your flight was easier than you thought it would be, as you had an upgraded flight in first class. You were given star treatment, access to a separate waiting area with complimentary food and drinks, less people to deal with, comfortable seats, the works. You couldn’t believe that ARMY was able to provide all of this for you, but who were you to complain?

The boat ride was also nice, more like taking a large yacht across the water to the island, you stood at the bough of the boat for most of the trip, enjoying the view as you became farther and farther away from everything that was shitty about your life and closer to everything you wanted. An escape into a world that was full of other people who were like you, liked the same music, had the same mindset, and you got to do it all on a paradise island? Hell fucking yeah.

After docking, you rolled your luggage behind you as you disembarked from the ramp, and saw a girl waiting for you. She was short but cute, a friendly smile and aura of being in charge. Her cheeks were slightly sunburnt, but you were envious of the way she looked refreshed, skin glowing. You couldn’t wait for that to be you; sunkissed and relaxed from the ocean breeze and too many margaritas.

“Y/n?” She asked, and you nodded.

“Welcome! I’m Vanessa, I hope that your trip went well?”

“Oh yea, it was awesome, thank you!”

“No problem, congratulations on winning! So before we go off to the fun stuff, we have a brief interview and a few more things to go over, and then I’ll give you a tour of the island and show you to your place. If you’ll follow me?”

Vanessa led the way to a golf cart and you climbed on, your luggage secured in the back seat of the cart. She turned the key, and you were speeding off towards a large house. It was painted white with accents of brick, and green ivy climbing lattices. The windows were large and beautiful, and you felt like you had seen them somewhere before. Like they were in a magazine or some type of professional photos or something. You shrugged off the feeling of deja vu, and followed Vanessa into the house.

The windows were open and provided a good amount of sunlight into the entryway, and you tried to take in as much as you could see as Vanessa walked past a staircase and led you towards the back of the house and into a side room. It was an office, with bright white walls and a large sturdy desk. A bookshelf was the entire wall behind the desk, where she now sat at.

She gestured to the plush chair in front of her desk and you sat down, suddenly nervous. For such a large house, it was pretty quiet, and you wondered where all the other people were. Was this actually all an elaborate trick to sell you into sex trafficking and you were brought here to die?!

You calmed your thoughts once you heard laughter from somewhere above you, and music playing lightly from another area of the house.

“So, once again, welcome! I am the deputy mayor here, and basically in charge of getting you all settled. We are a formal nation, Bangtania, with a president, a whole government system, and we’re working on expanding the businesses here. Before I can reveal anything more to you, I do need to have you sign the Non-Disclosure Agreement here in person. I know that I sent it to you via email for you to read and electronically sign, but I like to cover all of my bases.”

Like clockwork, another woman walked into the open office door, carrying a glass of wine and some papers. She took a sip and handed the papers to Vanessa, who thanked her as she headed back out of the room. The woman blew a kiss and disappeared around the corner.

“That’s my best friend, Talia, and definitely the reason that all of this was even put into motion,” Vanessa said as she shuffled the papers before straightening them gently by tapping the edges on the desk. She stapled the corner, binding the papers together, and passed it over to you.

“I know you read over most of this, but I want to reiterate a few points anyways. From the moment you leave this office, you are not to share with anyone about the other people on this island. When you first applied to the giveaway sweepstakes, you gave us your social media handles. While we won’t take away social media from you, your posts will be monitored for identifying certain people who wish to remain anonymous while here. Please always ask anyone before posting and triple check photos as well.”

She points to a section and you initial, stating you understand.

“You have a two week period here to see how you like it. You don’t have to stay if you do not want to. After that time, you will be issued a passport for Bangtania, a resident ID, and be included in our census. You will have dual citizenship for here and for your home country as well.”

“If you choose to leave within the 2 week window, it’s no charge. If you choose to leave after, you will have to fund your flight home yourself. We will pay for your boat ride back to the mainland, and from there you can negotiate work or if you have money saved just in case, you can fly out. Also, if you choose to stay, you can always fly out to visit friends and family, just remember the NDA is always in affect.”

You initialed again.

Vanessa led you through a few more sections of the contract, and you learned that a few of the girls on the island were nurses and so if you were sick or needed minor medical attention, they would help you. Everything else was pretty much provided to you, and all they asked was that they could use your skills in return.

You weren’t surprised they knew you had skills with computers and answering phones, which made you a perfect candidate to work in the main house under Vanessa doing secretarial work for her best friend, Talia. It wouldn’t be a lot of work, you would have plenty of time to enjoy the beach and rest, and the work would be related to the giveaway, running the island, and other fun BTS related things, so you were excited.

Signing your last signature on the bottom of the last page, Vanessa took the document, notarized it, and put it away in a locked filing cabinet next to her desk.

“Now, if you’re ready, I’d love to give you a tour of the island and show you where you’ll be staying.”

After seeing the main areas that people hung out at, you went towards what looked like a restaurant, which was good because you were hungry. Vanessa parked the golf cart next to a few others, and she held the door open for you.

You almost fainted. Seated at the table right when you walked in was none other than the 7 boys that were the reason you lived. BTS. Namjoon, Jimin, Yoongi, Taehyung, and Jungkook were sat at the table, and as you looked around, you saw that in between them sat other girls, including mutuals you knew were living here. Hobi appeared from swinging doors that led to what you assumed was the kitchen, delivering plates of food from a platter as a few girls followed him as well with drinks.

“C’mon Y/N, don’t be shy. Isn’t this what you wanted?” Vanessa laughed, taking in your shocked expression.

After eating, and sharing some conversation with Jin and Yoongi, you were ready for a nap. Jin was an exceptional cook, and you were full to the brim. Vanessa waved bye to everyone, a lingering hand on a certain male’s shoulder as she walked away, leading you back outside. As you sat back on the leather seat of the cart, she checked in with you.

“I’m definitely still in shock, but now I understand the NDA a lot more.” You chuckled as she drove you towards another house. It was just as big as the main house, as you heard several people call it, but the style was more relaxed and upon entering it, you realized it was because it was lived in. It was two stories, with a large open concept downstairs with a living room and kitchen, and rooms upstairs. You dragged your suitcase up the flight and Vanessa unlocked a room for you with a key before handing it to you.

“This is our newcomer guest room. We will have a room ready for you after your 2 weeks are up, if you decide to stay. For now, most people have said staying with me and Talia has been helpful if they had questions or needed anything, but any of the girls will help you, everyone is super nice.”

You looked around the room; it was spacious with a nice big bay window that allowed a decent amount of sunlight in.

“I’ll leave you to get settled in. Feel free to explore some more, and tomorrow we will have our weekly game night so you can meet everyone in a more relaxed setting and have fun. It’s our way of welcoming you to Bangtania.”

Vanessa let herself out of the room, closing the door softly. You wanted to explore, but at the moment the bed was calling to you. You lay down in the spot where the sun was pooling, curling yourself into the warmth and passed out. Jet Lag was a bitch.

When you finally rejoined the waking world, it was definitely not waking hours. The sun had set, and you shiver, the ocean breeze now too cool in your bedroom. You get up, throwing a MOTS tour hoodie on, and climb back in the bed, attempting to go back to sleep. Tossing and turning for about 15 minutes, sleep evades you. You must have caught up on all of your missing sleep with that ‘nap’ you took. Like you said, Jet lag is a bitch. Not wanting to continue to lay there restless, you slip out of the room and down the stairs.

You walk along the road, past other houses, finding yourself walking into sand. Sitting on the beach, enjoying the sound of the waves, you finally begin to feel tired. Rather than fall asleep on the beach, you make your way back to the house.

You head up the stairs and start down the hall, being as quiet as possible since it’s late and everyone is asleep. At least you assume they are all asleep, until you hear a very familiar voice coming from Vanessa’s room.

“Come here Princess, why are you acting this way?” You step closer to the door that is slightly ajar. You can’t believe what you are seeing, but you can’t stop watching either.

41. What was your most awkward sexual experience? (If you don’t have one/are too embarrassed to share, what is the funniest sex story you’ve heard?) I don’t think I really have any funny or awkward stories. The most amusing one for me was fooling around in the back of his car and ducking every time another car drove past and him saying that if anyone looked in they’d only see me because I’m so pasty I pretty much glow in the dark.

42. Have you ever called in and won a radio contest, and, if so, what was it, and what’d you win? No but this reminds me that when I was a kid I won an easter colouring competition and my prize was a 3kg chocolate bunny which my dad smashed up with a hammer and put all the pieces in a cooler and then most of it was eaten by him and my brother.

51. What do you want to be when you grow up? Who the fuck even knows. I’m open to suggestions if you wanna throw some at me

61. Do you believe that this weekend will be a good one for you? Depends if I do actually end up going to London

64. Why will/won’t you and your ex get back together? We probably will when I’m back in australia. We’ve already agreed to catch up once I’m back.

65. Have you ever kissed anyone while driving? No, that sounds dangerous

66. Think of the last person you kissed. Have you ever kissed them on a bed or a couch? Yes and no I don’t think we ever kissed on a couch. It was mostly in hotel rooms so I don’t think there were any couches

67. Is your best friend single? Yeah

68. What are you going to be doing later? Sleeping hopefully. I’m so tired

70. Have you hung out with any guys recently? I have not physically hung out with anyone for a long time.

71. Can you go a whole day without drinking any pop or eating any sweets? Yeah, that’s not uncommon. I’ve kinda surprised myself by how unintentionally healthy my diet has gotten this past year. Like, I eat a ton of vegetables every day and drink mostly water, milk and orange juice. And I started eating eggs for some protein too.

72. Who’s the weirdest teacher at your school? There was a teacher at my highschool called (I think) Mr. Moore. He was always powerwalking and/or spilling his coffee. He was just.. hell I don’t even know how to describe him but I guess he was like a human version of a hyperactive vibration. I’m sure that makes absolutely no sense but that’s all I think to say

73. How old were you when you learned how to ride a bike? 5 or 6

82. Have you ever skipped school because you were tired? Not school but I skipped uni lectures a lot

83. What was the last thing you had to drink? Water.

84. Your most recent ex needs you at 3 AM, do you go? Depends what he needs me for, but probably 85. Would you rather kiss someone 5 years older or 5 year younger? 5 years older. Five younger is like 18 and hell nah I’m not going to kiss an 18yo kid.

86. Do you like your parents? Yeah they're pretty awesome as far as parents go. My Ma especially is just a fucking awesome lady, I know it sounds cliche but she is genuinely one of my best friends.

How does social media affect our life?

Social media has a very large influence in our life especially in young people's. There are several websites we can use, but the most famous are Facebook and Instagram. Everyone uses them, whatever if we like it,or not, most of us are addictive of it.

Of course it has several advantages too, so at first I mention a few positive aspects of engaging in social media:

Education:

Teachers are able to easily collaborate and communicate with students and one another.

Grades improve and absenteeism is reduced.

59% of student users report that they use social networking to discuss educational topics and 50% use the sites to talk about school assignments.

I confirm the last one: most of the times I ask for homework from my friends via social media - maybe for me, it's a positive aspect, but for my classmates...?

Job Opportunities:

Great for professionals for marketing, connecting, and finding business opportunities.

Employers find employees and unemployed find work. 89% of job recruiters have hired via LinkedIn, 26% via Facebook, and 15% via Twitter.

Social media sites have created thousands of jobs and new avenues of income.

On Facebook there are several groups of school cooperatives like MelóDiák and Fürge Diák. You can join the group and they help to find you a job with flexible working hours. While I was attending in high school I worked through Fürge Diák.

Awareness/Being Informed:

Information spreads faster online than any other media. More than 50% learn about breaking news on social media.

Social networking provides academic research to everyone with online access, allowing people access to previously unavailable resources.

Social media sites inform and empower individuals to change themselves and their communities.

Of course it's important to know what sites do you can believe and what sites main purpose to get more and more like with fake news.

Social Benefits:

Social media allow people to communicate with friends and this increased online communication strengthens those relationships. 52% of online teens say social media have helped their friendships. 88% say being online helps them stay in touch with friends they don't see regularly.

People make new friends. 57% online teens report making new friends online.

The negative aspects of engaging in social media:

The importance of being liked:

Several teens believe that they aren't pretty , good enough, because they don't get hundreds of likes to their pictures. Teens role models became Instagram stars like the Kardashians. They try to ape them - unfortunatelly many of them succesfully.

Showing a fake side of yourself

It's important to know that many people doesn't show the real side of themselves on social media, rather than they want to be like. I know several girls who in real life self-conscious and shy, while on their picture they look confident and sometimes a little easy too.

This point is connected with the 1st one; they do it for likes; if you get many many likes you are cool; and you give likes to cool people because if they give it back to you you become more "famous". It's works back and forth.

Comparing our lives with others is mentally unhealthy

"One study looked at how we make comparisons to others posts, in “upward” or “downward” directions—that is, feeling that we’re either better or worse off than our friends. It turned out that both types of comparisons made people feel worse, which is surprising, since in real life, only upward comparisons (feeling another person has it better than you) makes people feel bad. But in the social network world, it seems that any kind of comparison is linked to depressive symptoms."(forbes.com)

It can lead to jealousy

We all felt jealous while scrolling down social media. One of your friends posted a picture from Rome, the other from Paris, the other just simply looks like a super model- way better than you- and the other just got a new car for his birthday. And you start to feel sorry for yourself becouse you just been on holiday at Lake Balaton and you just got a surprise party from your loved ones for your birthday-but not a car.

So you start to convince yourself that you have a shitty life- but you don't think about that you share your best days on FB, so probably they are too. Everyone has bad days, and everyone feel jealous for something; who knows, maybe the guy with the birthday car jealous for your birthday party and good friends.

Lack of Privacy:

People, especially the young, are often too open and public with personal information when online. Most don't read privacy policies and may be unaware that their information may be used by third parties, like advertisers, insurance companies, and the IRS. 21% of teens believe it is safe and harmless to post personal information, including photos.

Online advertising policies are an invasion of privacy. If you "like" a brand, you’re giving that company access to your personal information.

Users Vulnerable to Crime:

Social networking sites allow hate groups to recruit and distribute propaganda online.

Security attacks such as hacking, identity theft, phishing scams, and viruses are common online.

68% of users share their real birth date, 63% share the name of their high school, 18% share their phone number, 12% share a pet's name: This information might be used in identity theft.

Criminals use social media to commit crimes. Robbers know when you're away from your home on vacation and stalkers get information about your whereabouts via social media.

Sexual predators find, stalk, and assault victims through social media.

Sexting (texting sexual content) can be a big problem. When teens post sexy photos or comments online, it can lead to criminal charges and child pornography. 88% of "private" sexual images posted to social media are stolen and publicly posted on porn sites without the subject's knowledge.

When we talk about crimes we should mention Blue Whale and Momo too. These are online phenomenones, and nobody knows who started first. The targets are mostly teens, who get different challanges; if they don’t want to do these, they will be threatened. The last challange is suicide. As a parent it’s important to talk about it with our child and let them know that is just a bluff and if one of them-Blue Whale or Momo- find them online they can inform us and ask for help.

Cyber-bullying

We all know that online everyone is braver than face to face. 49.5% of students reported victimization by bullying online and 33.7% admitted to online bullying. Cyberbullied teens were almost twice as likely to kill themselves.

I think if you are/were being bullyed the only solution to stand up yourself. You have to believe that you are not less than the others; we are not alike; and its perfectly normal if you are a little different from the others. Many bullyed teens were became victims because they were different from the others; their grade were really good, or they had a different style from the others, but most importantly the main couse is of being bullyed is self concious attitude or naivety.

I really like the people who think everyone in the world is as kind as them, but unfortunatelly they hve the biggest biffes when they realize that is not true.

The end of friendships

According to one report, 15% of adult users said that something that happened online caused a friendship to end. 12% of adult users said something that happened online caused a face-to-face argument, and for 3% of adults it turned into a physical confrontation.

It happened with me a lot of times that I had a big fight with my friends because we misunderstood each other online. When we write something the other doesn't see our face, hear our voice and we can get the wrong impression if each other.

Less time for face-to-face interaction with loved ones.

47% of 18-34-year-old users reported using social media or texting during meals. 10% of people younger than 25 reported checking their phones and social media during sex.

It has started with TVs - the common program with the family became watching TV together instead of play boardgames together. We can experience everyday that we are talking with someone and we checking our phone during talking. We can't pay attention to the others like this.

Advertising:

While scrolling down on social media we can see a lot of ads and we can spend our money more easily sometimes for unnecessary products.

The social media's influence to our romantic relationships

According to several reports when a couple post almost everyday a picture of themselves there is a problem in their relationship what they want to hide from the world-sometimes even from themselves too.

It can couse jeaously in a relationship if our partner likes someone elses picture regulary; it doesn't matter if it's a person who the other knows personally or a social media star who lives from her/his provocative pictures: it can induce a feeling in the other person in the relationship that he or she doesn't good enough for his or her partner.

Social media give an opportunity to get know people from the other gender and an innocent flirt can cause an end of a serious relationship.

Eleven (More) Ways to Increase Your Social Media Following

Scenario: You have a race car hot rod, or dragster that you are proud of. You’ve worked on it for years, burning the midnight oil with knuckle-busting effort. Now you want to show this amazing vehicle to the world! You’ve taken dozens of pictures of it – in the garage, at the track, on the hauler, at car shows, and in the winner’s circle. You pick up your phone and you post stunning, breath-taking pics all over Twitter, Snapchat, Instagram, Facebook, etc. And then you wait…the likes should come pouring in. Any minute now…you’ll get a bunch of comments in just a sec…waiting patiently. Five days later, you have 8 Likes and 1 comment. What happened? Did the rest of the world not recognize this car’s greatness? Did your pictures have bad lighting? Don’t fret – there is a solution; what you need is MORE followers. Here are 11 ways to build your social media fan base:

You must give love to get love. You are building your brand and the best brands have loyal, loving followings – see Starbucks, Southwest Airlines, Chipotle. More followers equal more sponsors, merchandise sales, web site visits, and more. The best way to get followers is to follow. I don’t mean your friends but you need to follow your friends’ friends, other people in your industry, competitors, companies and anyone else you can think of. Not sure who to follow? All social media sites usually provide suggestions of people to follow who have similar interest as yours.

Engage with your current followers (in a positive way). My mother used to say if you have something nice to say, please share it and if don’t have something nice to say – keep your gd mouth shut (author’s note: she did not use the abbreviation “gd”). Engaging goes above and beyond hitting the “like” or “heart” button. If you see an amazing photo or video, take the time to write a nice comment about it. Whenever the Circle Track editors see a pic with a race car up on an open trailer, they always comment on it. We love open trailers because they show off a racer’s hard work and it gets people interested in the sport. Watch an open-trailered race car be hauled by a school bus or a van full of kids – you’ll see a lot of smiling young faces and wide eyes. Comments get noticed by people who don’t follow you. It doesn’t have to be an in-depth comment on the beauty of a California sunset pic. Keep it simple: “Cool pic, brah!” has done wonders my social media page. If someone pays you a compliment on one of your posts, acknowledge it. If someone says something negative in the comments section, ignore it. It will be forgotten within a few days. There is a temptation to remove negative comments, but you don’t want to be North Korea and police every last word that some troll writes on your page. Just let it slide off your back and keep posting. As the great poet Eminem once said, “there is no such thing as bad publicity.”

Use different posts for different social media outlets. I use different pics for Instagram than I do for Facebook. I write different posts for Twitter than I would write on Facebook. This one is controversial because many people use apps to spread one pic or post across many social media outlets. Yes, it is easier but it also bores your audience. Recognize the strong suit of each social media outlet – if it’s a quick, short-worded post: go with Twitter. If it’s a stellar photo, use Instagram. If it’s a video or long-form blog, use Facebook. If you are targeting a younger audience, use Snapchat. Don’t ignore any of the social media outlets because you don’t like using it. Your followers may have different preferences than you. If you don’t know how to use Twitter or Snapchat, ask a friend or relative. No shame in your game for asking how to use technology. 90% of my social media knowledge comes from my kids. In addition, don’t put all of your eggs into one (social media) basket. As Alex Striler of Lucas Oil states, “Twenty years ago, AOL dominated email and Netscape was our primary web browser. Ten years ago, Myspace was the unchallenged leader in the online community. Today, none of those companies are relevant…….if you’re focusing all of your efforts on only one social media platform today, beware that-like most of the others-it may be gone tomorrow.”

Use Facebook Live video or Instagram/Snapchat’s “story” features. Scroll through Facebook on your phone and you will notice that most posts are video-related. This is not by accident. Facebook knows that video gets more interaction than static posts or pics. Videos are sticky meaning that people will spend 1 minute to 10 minutes watching a video. Posts about your politic leanings or pictures of your dinner do not result in a 10-minute viewing. Here are a few helpful hints:

Become familiar with Facebook Live and the “story” features of IG and Snapchat. This was tough for me too. Like most people, I am not comfortable on camera. But practice makes perfect and live videos usually results in more followers. A few tips for Facebook Live –

Have a good internet or wifi connection. You don’t want your video to freeze or drop in the middle of it. Have good lighting too and avoid background noise.

Keep it short and have an outline of your talking points. Videos between :30 seconds and 9 minutes usually get the most views, likes, and shares. Before you go live, think about your main ideas, the camera angles, and what you want the viewer to learn or see. For beginners, you may want to rehearse it and then do it again with a live take.

The opening shot of the video should be of the product that you are promoting, not yourself. When we are doing a shock installation, the first shot will be of the shock or racecar. If you are at a race, start with racetrack and then you can pan the camera to your face. If you are at a car show, find a good vantage point that encompasses a bunch of hot rods.

Post frequently and make it fun. Don’t force yourself to post everyday. Be timely with your posts (social media site metrics tell us that after lunch and in the evening are the best times to post). There is a maxim out there that says “the best way to get followers is to post everyday.” In my experience, this leads to a lot of boring posts. But you should post frequently, especially if you are doing something exciting. Try different camera angles. Use filters or black-and-white to make your photos stand out from the crowd. Also, don’t be afraid to show your epic fails. Did you engine blow up in mid-race? Show it and own it. Did you get in a fender-bender on the way to a car show? Post it and make light of it. People relate to drama and struggles because we all have them in our everyday lives. It’s ok to post both the highlights and lowlights.

Be original and relevant with your content. Try to post things that most people don’t see every day. Finding something unique is the best way to have your post spread virally (without your direct effort). Your posts should also be relevant to the majority of your followers. If you are a racer – post pics of your car zooming around the track, or an install of your safety equipment or an un-boxing of your new carburetor. “Make your posts intriguing, funny, creative, and dramatic. Nobody is going to repost or share a photo of your meal, pet, or selfie; but, lots of people will share an amusing story, compelling thought, fascinating fact, or creative image,” writes Alex Striler in his book, “Motorsports Marketing and Sponsorships”.

Include your other social media accounts in the biography section on your profile. All social media outlets have a quick bio section for you to fill out. Include your Twitter handle on your Instagram bio. Include your Instagram user name on your Facebook bio. Let your fans have full-access to you. Remove your privacy settings that require you to “accept every request”. This discourages followers because they worry that you might not accept them. If you are trying to build a following, you must be accessible to everyone (not just your friends and family).

Set goals and track your progress. When I started at Circle Track in March 2016, one of my goals was to increase our social media presence. We had 45,000 followers on Facebook, 1,800 followers on Instagram, and 500 followers on Twitter. Good numbers but not mind-blowing by any measure. It takes time and effort to build your following, but don’t get discouraged – it won’t happen overnight. You must remain diligent and upbeat. I’m happy to report that 18 months later, we have the following stats:

Facebook: 56,000 followers (an increase of 11,000)

Instagram: 7,000 followers (an increase of 5,200)

Twitter: 1,000 followers (doubled our followers)

Use humor and/or be an informer. Informers talk about breaking news, technology updates, or how-to do something (installing a shock or replacing brakes, for example). Writing captions underneath your pictures is a helpful but humbling experience. You want to be funny, pithy, or insightful but you don’t want to sound dumb while you are doing it. I usually come up with 5-6 captions for every one picture or video. Then I pick the best one or I’ll ask a co-worker for their advice on a caption.

Give stuff away. Contests, sweepstakes, and freebies work best on Twitter. For example, “Repost this product pic or follow us to receive a free hat or t-shirt.” This type of post will get shared and liked immediately. Because social media is free, most followers respond to free stuff. Tap into this and watch your following grow!

Use hashtags. This one took me a while to understand but I would say it has helped grow our following more than anything else. I have a mandate that every post must have 6-12 hashtags underneath it. It’s very simple to do: Post your pic or video. Write a caption to accompany it and then add 6 hashtags after the caption. Let’s say you post a video of a Mustang doing a burnout. Can you think of 6 describing words for that? #yesyoucan #ponypower #tires #burningrubber #smoke #Ford. Wasn’t that easy?! The reason for this is that there are people on social media who just look for “burning rubber” posts/videos all day. On Instagram alone, there are 53,618 posts that reference #burning rubber. You want these followers because they are enthusiasts. They like what you like.

Did I miss any other ideas? Feel free to share your tips on growing your social media fan-base.

As expected, a bus, train, or subwayfull of strangers can result in some unexpected moments. It happens everyday, just about everywhere in the world. Sometimes, these moments are just too much to handle,especially when you realize you have four stops left until your destination.

Strange behavior or events on buses and trains arenothing new, but theycertainly make forgreat stories to tell your friends and family.

“During a busy weekday rush hour, a man in a suit boards the train and sits next to me. I think, ��Great. A normal person sitting next to me for once.’ He’s clean-cut, nothing out of the ordinary.

“A few minutes into the ride, he opens his briefcase and pulls out half a sandwich. I think, ‘Dammit. Wish I had brought a snack.’ The man meticulously chews the middle and corners of this sandwich leaving it in the shape of a phone…

“He then talks on his sandwich phone for the rest of our journey.” ashleybrookethirteen

“As the doors on the Metro are closing, I notice this 30-something-year-old suit guy sprinting towards the train. He full on dives headfirst into the train, his feet passing through just before the doors closed, Indiana Jones style.

“He stands up, dusts himself off, and says, ‘Whoa… thought I was gonna miss that one’ to which the entire train just bursts out laughing. Funniest thing I’ve ever seen after taking the D.C. Red line for nearly a decade.” sublimescu

“I rodethe entire trip in the back of the bus. At one point I woke from a nap, nobody was on the bus. No driver, no passengers, no leftover luggage except mine. Bus was parked in a gas station parking lot, gas station was closed and obviously been closed for years… Imagine an old time gas station at crossroads in the middle of nowhere Iowa.

“Spent around 15 minutes… seemed like hours. Eventually a car showed up and the new driver jumped on the bus and said ‘Hey, sorry overslept.’

This starts an all out yelling war between the two, where the passenger is refusing to pay the full fare.

“By this time the engine of the bus has stopped and everyone is silent. The guy walks to the back, with the driver following him. They start arguing again. The bus driver goes back up front out of frustration and just sits, waiting for the guy to leave.

“My old job was working 2nd shift at a hospital. This required me to take the last B-Line train home on Friday nights, which is the train that all the drunk college kids would take from the bars downtown.

“One night, this girl gets on, and sits on the upper level of the subway car across from me (for those unfamiliar with the new Boston subway trains, they are usually split into 2 levels connected by a set of stairs). She’s obviously very drunk, swaying back and forth in her seat.

“All of a sudden, she turns her head and vomits all over the person standing in the level below her. The person that was puked on started to heave and vomit, and soon, more and more people started to throw up.

“During the holidays last year the person sitting next to me kept falling asleep and leaning on my shoulder. I asked if I could move to an empty seat because he had done it five or six times in an hour after I asked him to stop.

“He turns his head and says, ‘I wasn’t falling asleep.’” SuperBoredAtWork

“I had a guy on the E line compliment my green hair, and he said ‘My mom would kill me if I did something like that,’ and I said, ‘You should do something rebellious anyway!’ and then as I’m about to get off he says ‘I did’ and swings around so I see his other arm and he was missing his arm from the elbow down.” ChaiSaliva

“I am a little big boned, and usually have to sit a little off the seat on the NYC bus. One day, on a busy rush-hour bus, at the 42nd street stop a woman came on the bus and sat on my knee.

“She was late 30s, dressed like she works in a nice office, by all accounts normal, except she sat on my knee. I didn’t say anything for two blocks, tried to gather the courage to say something for the next two blocks, then she got up and left. No one said a word, or even looked at us.” anonymous
