LinkedIn For Your Future

    One of the most important apps you will discover, especially for your business endeavors is LinkedIn. It is one of the best ways to get your name out there to employers and also discover ways to connect and mingle with others

    This app, started back in 2002 is the World's largest professional network at around 740 million active users, which is absurd. LinkedIn is the #1 channel used to distribute content throughout it's network. It is very important when you begin to use LinkedIn that you take the time to finish your profile and make it appear very professional. 

    The main reason behind LinkedIn are used to build your brand awareness, engage with your customers and fellow employees, build your target audience and then interact with them. Once you are comfortable, these factors are very important to follow, especially if trying to help yourself and company out in the future. Another big factor, is using pictures on your posts as that can help with engagement and can also show your true experiences. Take the time out and think through your posts and make them user friendly and interesting. A good thing to follow is the 4-1 rule, which means every self-serving post, you then share four pieces of relevant things that are written by others on the app.

Use LinkedIn to your advantage and you will do great!

  1. LinkedIn really is important in the professional world. I haven’t used it much at this point, but I am sure that I will use it more when I am entering the real world. It is very important to leverage LinkedIn from a business perspective as well. Even if you are unable to generate sales directly from ads on LinkedIn, spreading awareness of your product or service to LinkedIn users could result in conversions at the companies those users work for. I think that is a big part of why the 4-1 rule is part of marketing on LinkedIn.

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.

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...

Music Cures All

     At a young age I fell in love with music and have never looked back. I remember being a young kid and always asking for an iPod so I could download a bunch of music. Always having my headphones in before my travel basketball and football games and just enjoying it. Back then, I just wanted to look cool and didn't truly understand music like I do now. Music helps me with everything including basketball, school, anxiety and just relaxing, it is great.      I listen to music anytime I can, especially when relaxing or working out. I like to experiment so I truly like a lot of different genres and songs, but if I had to pick one forever it will always be rap. Over the last year I started listening to an artist called Rod Wave and haven't stopped listening to him since. The main reason I always listen to him is because I feel like we relate on a lot of stuff and he puts his true feelings into his songs so it is real and relaxing. I have always liked country ...

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...
