Building Through Facebook

    During our class this week, we learned a lot of Facebook and different things you can do through it and how they are important. We learned some knowledge about some of the data dealing with Facebook and different ways people use it.

    For example, we talked about the Urban, Suburban and Rural users and Urban was the highest at 73% and average income was between 30,000 and 75,000. It is crazy looking at some of the data about Facebook but when you think about the number of people that have Facebook and how long it is has been around, it seems realistic. I always feel like Facebook is very popular because a lot more older people have it, especially for family purposes. 

    One big item we talked about was building an audience through Facebook because of how popular it is. For example, 350 million pictures are uploaded to timelines every day on Facebook which is absurd when you think about it. Building an audience is huge for social media presence, the more you can get your things seen, the better you are going to be. Keep posts to 140 characters or less so you don't lose people's interest for being so long and don't make it to short either to the point that you don't get your point across. Using pictures and videos will also lead you to higher engagement, which is why you see most big pages using pictures and videos with there captions and not just captions only, it spikes engagement which is important as anything. My brother being a real estate broker and using his business Facebook page a lot, I know how important him getting engagement is. I know one of the biggest things he does is inviting tons of people to like his page including other realtors and past customers that he has worked with.

  1. That’s interesting about how your brother uses Facebook. I had not thought about the fact that service-based businesses would use Facebook to market themselves. In class I usually think about businesses trying to sell products, like clothes or toys. I think Facebook is a really good platform for marketing local services. Facebook users tend to use real names and share a lot about themselves, so the human connection can help. Other platforms tend to be more anonymous, so they are probably better for selling products.

Marketing Campaigns

    We can use many things in the social media world to our advantage, including social media marketing campaigns. In short, it is a campaign used to target an audience and advance your business and company in the long-run. It can also come from actions that can lead to influencers or audience to certain types of things. These campaigns can be most affective just like a lot of other things and that is by setting your goals and audience before you start your campaign.      You need to know where you want your campaign located at and what you want it to do. For example, social media is the main spot but you can also have it in other spots that can reach awareness also. Having your target audience is important, but you also want to know what the people in your target audience are interested with. For example, the social media apps that they are most active on, older people are more active on Facebook versus Snapchat, so it is important to know that. Also, setting a...

College Football Playoffs

     In 2014, college football finally introduced the idea we had been waiting on, The College Football Playoffs. This meant that instead of only two teams getting a chance at the national championship, it would know be four teams. Everyone that enjoys college football was very happy when this was announced.       The first year it was introduced, the final four teams happened to be Ohio State, Oregon, Alabama, and Florida State. In the first round, Oregon defeated Florida State and Ohio State defeated Alabama in an instant classic. This meant it would end up being Oregon versus Ohio State in the championship game. Ohio State went on to defeat Oregon by a score of 42-20 and celebrated winning the first ever college football national championship. I still remember Ohio State winning this game and I lost my mind. I thought it was awesome to see Ohio State win the national championship, but especially with it being the first year of the playoffs. ] ...

First Half, First Semester

    My senior year of college is flying right by. It is crazy to think we are almost complete with the first six weeks of the semester. It seems like just yesterday I was moving back into my house for the school year. I am trying to cherish every moment this year and slow time down as much as possible because the real world is sitting on my doorstep.        This semester has been good for me so far. Since I moved in six weeks ago, I have been back home for a total of four hours, which can be hard for me sometimes. I finally got home last Saturday for a couple hours and it was fantastic. I got to see my family and go out to eat with them at Side Rail in Wapakoneta. Those are the moments I will never trade for the world, and I always cherish them. Busy has been an understatement this semester. Between practices, classes, and projects, I have been moving non-stop since I came back to Ada. Some people have mixed feelings about always being busy, but I love it. ...
