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 example, that your username can only be 15 characters or the fact that tweets used to be only 140 characters. In reality, all these apps are good to promote yourself, including even Snapchat, but I feel as if Twitter is the best one. Facebook is the most common app used among people of all ages, including the older age too. You can use Instagram for many things including sharing other posts on your "Instagram story" which can be very successful. 

    Nowadays to be a successful business person, you almost have to use social media. Not only for yourself, but for your company or business, it can be a great way to promote and share. If you do not feel comfortable with this, there is plenty of resources out there that can help you grow, do not be afraid to ask!

    Hello,

    I liked how you summarized all the chapters we have covered in the book so far. I also have a strong interest in social media and continuing that into my future career which is why I picked up a Public Relations major where social media can be so prominent. I agree this class is a huge stepping stone to help us continue to grasp the idea of social media. Keep up the good work!

    That’s a good wrap up of the first seven chapters of the book. I am also glad I took this course. Prior to this course I never really used social media much, so it is interesting to see all the features of each platform. I had also never really considered the people that designed the ads that are displayed on each platform. In general, I don’t see many ads because of ad blockers, but I have also gotten pretty good at tuning out the ads I do see. During this class I’ve gained a new appreciation of ads and take more time to look at them.

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. ] ...

Back on Campus

    After a much needed time off from athletics and academics, it is great to be back on campus. I was very thrilled to go home for a couple of long days. I wasn't only happy to go home because it was first time home in a month, but also because it will be last time home till Thanksgiving. We start our first week of practice this Friday and once that starts it is almost impossible to go home, so I made sure to enjoy my break.             I have always cherished my time I get when I am back home because you never know what can happen and when it could be your last time. That sounds very straight-forward but is the reality of life. As I stated, we start our basketball season this week and I am beyond focused and ready to start my third year on the basketball court. I am especially excited this year because I know the potential this team has this season especially since we are a lot older and more experienced now.      In the...
