Chapter 2 - Principles of Social Media

 We are now onto the second week of Principles of Social Media which means we are now into Chapter 2. Learning about personal branding was very important and needed because it is all about yourself and that is huge when trying to get your name out there. It is the biggest step that we can use to separate ourselves from our competition and other peers. 

Learning about the nine big steps we can use in our personal branding is a huge learning point. For example, always starting off by identifying your target audience is huge, you need to know who you want to talk to and then how you want to go about talking to them. Determining your values, passion, vision, goals are all huge steps in personal branding. Not only are those big steps in personal branding, but I also think they are huge in life too. You should always try to know your values and passions and the goals you have. I know my passion is basketball and I know my goals that I want to accomplish in basketball so I believe it can go hand in hand with personal branding. 

Also, you need to get your name out there as much as you can, so buy using personal branding online that will have get your name online and out there. You want to audit your personal brand as much as possible. Another great way to get your name out there and build your personal brand is Twitter and LinkedIn, and I currently have both of them and use them both for that purpose. I personally like LinkedIn a lot, especially because I can connect with so many people that are in my profession of marketing. I do not use twitter as much as LinkedIn for branding but I have recently got into it more and followed some really good people with good advice in field of study.

    I completely agree with what you are saying about putting yourself out there. How you brand yourself online can truly set you apart from the rest. There is also strategies on how you can get your name out there and how you can brand yourself and I liked how you walked through some of these steps. Putting your name out there and getting well known takes a lot of work and I liked how you stressed there are steps to take when doing this.

    I agree that covering the importance of building a personal brand was super important and even necessary. As students, building a personal brand is a great way to begin establishing ourselves as professionals and growing our network. I like that you not only highlight the importance of having a personal brand, but you also go into some detail on how to develop your personal brand. Your post was super informational and a great read!

    Hey, great stuff man! I gained a lot of information from this blog. I honestly agree 100% about getting your name out there as much as possible because I go by a saying "closed mouths don't get fed" meaning if you aren't going to put yourself out there like you should, then you wont have much success when being a content creator. Loved the blog, keep up the good work!

Chapter 1-7

    After finishing our midterm in this class, I feel as if it can be a good time to talk about the first seven chapters and the things I have learned about social media. I am actually taking this class because I decided to pick up social media as a minor and I am beyond glad I did it because I  thoroughly enjoy learning about different aspects in social media. This is something that really sparked my interest because I feel like the whole world is ran by social media and cellphones.      Through the first half of this class so far we have learned about all the main social media apps. These include: Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Snapchat. I enjoyed learning about all of them but my favorite was Twitter and that is because it is my favorite app and I also feel as if it is the best app to promote yourself and your business. Twitter is the app I have had the longest so I enjoyed hearing some information about it that I have never heard. For examp...

The Guardiac Kids

    The Guardiac kids, also known as the Cleveland Guardians, were one of the most fun teams to watch in the league this year. A team made up of the lowest payroll, lowest experience and the youngest team in the league made the second round of the playoffs and took the "best" team in baseball to a final game in the American League Division Series, before losing last night. I watched over 50 games this year, and every game had so much life and excitement to it.      This past Sunday night, I attended game 4 against the New York Yankees in Cleveland and it was an experience of a lifetime. I got free tickets and a parking pass and had fantastic seats for a chance to watch history. We arrived early and explored beautiful downtown Cleveland. Cleveland is a place I have always loved and enjoyed being there and exploring. Once in the stadium, it was so great to be back. The smell of baseball was in the air, and it was contagious. With over 38,000 people in attenda...

Twitter Can Be Tremendous

    I am beyond excited we are talking about my favorite app in class now, Twitter. Twitter has been my favorite social media app for over a year now. I also feel as if Twitter is one of the best apps you can use to promote your business or even yourself. I know I used Twitter a ton during high school when I was playing basketball and I was able to reach out to a lot of coaches for college teams.      Originally Twitter only allowed you 140 characters on your tweets, that number is now at 280. Twitter was founded and started in 2006 by Jack Dorsey and has over 353 million people attracted to it. It is used every single day for anything you can think of including sports, politics and businesses. Twitter is used more heavily by males especially in the business world. When using Twitter you should try to incorporate videos and pictures into your tweets to catch more attention from people on your timeline or people that view your profile.    ...
