A Semester In Social Media

This semester I learned a lot of different techniques and ways to apply them through various forms of social media. I ended up getting pretty attached to my business and had developed a layout for the shop in my head.


My favorite forms of social media were Blogger, Facebook and Twitter. I did not think I would enjoy the blog postings as much as I did. I really liked how easy it was to set up a page and then refining the page over the next couple weeks to get the look that I wanted. I leaned a lot of little tips and tricks with Facebook that I had no idea existed before this class. Twitter was by far the simplest and easiest to use, and I think that is what they aim for. I think that every business should have some sort of blog or website that is updated regularly.

My least favorite was Vine. I just do not see the appeal and too me it was not really that serious of a platform. By no means do I see it as useless, it just did not grab my attention. Instagram was hard for me to do because I do not have the ability to take pictures of luxury cars and expensive things on a daily basis. It is one of my personal favorites and I think that it is very under utilized by business in general.

If I actually owned this business I would make sure to update a blog on a weekly or biweekly basis. I would have a Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, all with weekly updates. YouTube would be used from time to time, but I could see myself uses Instagram video much more. Even though the work load was heavy at times, I enjoyed this class.
