Hi everyone,
Today I'd like to talk a little bit about how social media works.
First off, social media is a form of communication electronically. People use it to share all kinds of different things such as pictures, ideas, and stories. Since social media has been around, the world has become much smaller in the fact that now everyone can share ideas at any time. Another thing to remember about social media is that the internet never stops so ideas and stories are getting shared all the time.
As discussed in class its important to have a plan. Determine the object, plan the content, distribute and promote content, and measure success. When determining the object its important to think about who your target audience is. This will help you when it comes to how happy your viewers will be. Planning the content has become a more and more important piece of social media. Building into which piece you will post next can help your optimization. There is even websites out there that you can schedule when you want your post to be posted automatically. Distributing and promoting your social media is what will make or break this whole plan. This is up to the discretion of the publisher so use your creative side and be original. Lastly, measure how successful you have been so you know what to change. Stay on the forefront of change and your social media will stay on top.
Garrett,
I recommend using paragraphs so your blog is easier to follow along with. This would eliminate wordiness. I enjoyed your social media icons and I thought the title of your blog paired with your heading picture was comical. I enjoyed the read!
Great job, Garrett! I liked how easy it was to understand and follow along. However, I would recommend changing the background color to a lighter shade or change the font color/size because it was kind of heavy on the eyes and difficult to read. Perhaps you can divide them into paragraphs as well so you have a balance of space in between information. I loved the title! *drops mic*
