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!

    That is a really good Idea. I know that the grind in the moment must have sucked but It was a really good Idea and plan for some quick cash.

 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...

The Transfer from Wapakoneta

Here it is the week we have all been waiting for. The final week of school is here, and I could not be more excited to put all my school stuff away for the summer. Although before I can officially say its summer, I have to take a final on Monday the 9 th .

Chapter 3 post

 This week we learned about social media advertising. The proper steps for being able to properly advertise your social media platform are to be as followed. First of you must decide what your target market is going to be. For me my target market would be potential business interested in a salesman or a marketer because I am a business major focusing on marketing. Step 2 is that you must do a social media audit to make sure that there are no pictures or bad descriptions of you that a potential employer would see that would raise some red flags. For my audit I typed in my name and my hometown Wapakoneta. For me all that really came up was my football achievements and different pictures of me at my sporting events. Step 3 you must imply your smart goals to make sure that your goals are specific to you, they are measurable, they must be attainable, they must be relevant and lastly, they must be time based. Step 4 you need to determine resources, roles, and responsibilities while also ...
