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 over the long weekend?

    Marketing to your neighbors back home was a really smart idea, I should've thought of that for the town of Ada!

The Podcast

We are on the discussion about Vlogs and Podcasts this week. Although these are not your typical social media platforms, they are very effective. It allows you to talk to anybody and everybody that is willing to listen and hear what you have to say, or you can listen to lots of other people as well. This week in class we did a podcast. We interviewed Coach Brandon Burge who is the strength and conditioning coach at Ohio Northern University. We asked Coach Burge a lot of questions this week. Our questions varied from- What made you want to become a coach? What is your favorite memory since becoming a coach? What is your favorite quote and why? Who is your idle or the person you look up to the most? What is your dream coaching job? Who is your favorite player Keith or Josh and why? I selected these questions to ask Coach Burge for my 5 minutes of the assignment. I am doing this assignment with Josh Andrews so he is going to take the other 5 minutes to ask Coach Burge some q...

The Transfer from Wapakoneta

Here we are again with another crazy week in week 13 or 14 I cannot remember which one it is, but all I know is that I have two more weeks of classes then I am done for the year. As many of you probably know, It is spring time and we are finally getting some nice weather this week. Being a farmer this time of year is very crazy and super busy. The ground finally broke the 55 degree mark this week so that means we can plant whenever the ground is dry. This week though has been crazy. It started Monday with working on the manure spreader. We have to spread manure from our pig barn and our cattle barns on the fields in the spring and fall. We do this before the cultivator goes through the field before the planter so that we make sure we work it into the soil and do not get the planter all dirty. We then spent Tuesday and Wednesday tearing the pump apart because it had a leak in it so we had to fix that. Once it was fixed we were finally able to start spreading. But today it decided to rai...

Chapter 13

In chapter 13 we learned about Integrated Media Communications. This is the use of promotional tools and marketing strategies to help develop the best way to market your goods and/or services. Integrated Media Communications are effective because you can use different platforms of media based upon which demographic you are looking to market to. We also learned about social media campaigns. These have been more popular in the recent years due to the fact that social media is trending and getting better each year. You can even buy and sell things through Facebook on their marketplace and even Instagram has a new feature now where you can buy and sell items.
