Textbook Talk

This semester we focused our learning about social media through the textbook “Essentials of Social Media Marketing.” In this book there are 13 different chapters describing all the different types of platforms of social media and how you can use them to promote and sell the goods and services your business has to offer. Throughout all platforms of social media, the first thing you must do in marketing your business is creating a target market that you want to specifically direct your posts too. The next steps are pretty similar to all platforms because you then create your profile according to how the platform allows you to create it. You then need to schedule your posts and allow the public to view your profile and posts to get the most interactions. This book has been super helpful with giving all the helpful tips and tricks for each platform while explaining in detail how to operate the app. I would recommend this book to anyone looking into a degree in social media or really anybody to help them utilize the skills social media has to offer at the fullest potential.

The Transfer from Wapakoneta

Here we are in another week of school. This week has been kind of crazy as per usual.

I got home just in time to ride over to the ballpark with my family but little did I know I forgot my lawn chair.  When I realized I had forgotten my chair it was too late to go home and grab it because I would miss the beginning of the game.

After I finally got out of the videos I had to take a test which was pretty easy so that made me feel like it was not a complete waste of time. Now here we are mid-week on Wednesday. On Wednesday I had to help my da...

 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...

This week we are talking about LinkedIn. LinkedIn is one of the most used professional platforms of social media. Majority of people that have a LinkedIn find their future employer or find their employees on there. It is a platform that you can put all your awards that you have received and titles you have earned through your schooling. The first thing you need to do when you make a LinkedIn account is to customize your profile to best market yourself as a potential employee for a company or to best market your business to hire potential candidates that find your account interesting. Once you have the profile customized you need to make connections with people to get your name out there. LinkedIn offers the opportunity to connect with both primary and secondary connections. For example, it will try to connect you with people that went to the same school as you. In summary LinkedIn is an effective connection and collaboration tool for employees and employers.
