Chapter 5

 Here we are in another week of school learning about how we can use different social media platforms. This week we are learning about how you can use Instagram to market your business. Instagram is a very popular social media platform that people of all ages use but it is mainly the younger generation. You can use this platform to post stories, reels, and Instagram posts. First, you need to establish your target audience. Next you need to create your account and incorporate what your business is and what you have to offer but then say what you are about. Creating a post on Instagram is pretty simple it all starts by selecting a photo of your business that you think represents what you want to market the best along with what will draw in the most attention from the public. Once you create this post you can repost it on your story, so it gives it more of a chance to be seen by people. Whenever something like a bigger event or something really exciting is going on at the business you can utilize the live video feed to show people live footage of what is going on at that second. Instagram has a newer feature on the platform called marketplace. This is where people can list items and sell them along with business selling what they have to offer to the public. Instagram has been a huge help throughout the pandemic because it created a way that people can communicate with friends, family and the outside world.

The Transfer from Wapakoneta

Here we are in our last month of classes. After this month is over, we only have a few days in May to take our exams and then we are off on summer break. I will be spending my weeks leading up to these exams studying a lot so I can keep my grades up. We just started our second week of spring practices this week. Things are starting to come to me quicker as I am still learning all the tag words and signals but overall, it is going well. This week my family and I have been planning our vacation that we are taking this summer and needless to say I am ready for summer. How is everyone else’s life going?

The Transfer from Wapakoneta

 Here we are another week down and things are still going well. We just got back from a nice surprise four day weekend because of snow. I spent my days from last Wednesday night to Saturday afternoon pushing and plowing snow from the cab of our skid loader. I plowed anywhere from 20-25 driveways during each day while pushing big industrial lots and gas stations in the nighttime. This left little time for sleep. Each day I was awake and pushing snow every morning by 4 a.m. and not being done until 9-10 p.m. in the evening. While I knew we were going to get some snow, but I was not totally sure how much we would be getting, I used my Facebook marketing knowledge to let the people know in my surrounding area that I would be cleaning driveways out for $25 a driveway. This led to people telling other people and the word got out and I got super busy. I was able to make quite a bit of money over this three day time period and help people of the community out. Did anyone else do anything o...

The Sim

Throughout this semester we utilized the sim function in mimic social. The sim helped us understand how to use the different platforms to promote a given business. We had to schedule post with a budget and then make sure the content we posted was useful to the public to understand what we were advertising. After the sim was ran you got the stats from each platform and you were asked questions based upon the stats from that round. Over the course of the semester we did 12 rounds of mimic social. In the last couple weeks we had to hire someone to post about our company and we had to pay them per post. Let me tell you they are not easy people to negotiate with. It took me 2 whole rounds to get somebody to accept my offer when I offered them exactly what they stated they were worth. Any ways this helped the stats by giving it more interactions and engagements due to the fact that the person was famous or had lots of expertise on the topic. Thanks again for listening in this semester!
