Week 16 Final Post

 Has your viewpoint on social media changed?

    Throughout this semester we used how to use social media in ways that's not just personal use but for business use. I learned different tools and how different structured posts can change the outcome of how people see your business. Also, I learned how social media can be used to persuade people to see what your business is about and potentially buy from your business. 

    My viewpoint on social media has changed. I thought social media was really for personal use or for people with platforms. I believed that social media didn't do much for a business but now I think differently. Now, I think business should heavily rely (if they don't already) on their social media accounts and make sure they always have someone active posting engaging and well thought posts. 

Do you have a better understanding of how to use it successfully to develop a business?

    From all the lessons and practices on our imaginary business, I certainly  have a better understanding on how to use social media. I understand how to use hashtags in a post better without over using them but to always have one unique hashtag for your business so people know how to find or connect to you. I also understand the analytics standpoint much better than before. I know the difference between a reach and an engagement. Before, I thought they were always the same thing which confused me. 

    Having a better understanding on these topics of social media will help me a lot in the future when I open my own business up or become a social media specialist for a company. Even though I have a better understanding on how to utilize social media for a business, I still believe I have lots to learn and will keep on learning new things about social media and what's around it.

Did you find social media for businesses, services and products you want to use for yourself? 

    Social media that I would want to use for my own business is Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. I would want to use a social media that almost everyone has and is on all the time. I see business thrive and that's because of loyal customers boasting them on social media and those exact businesses responding to them. The top I would prioritize the most though would be Instagram and Twitter. I would have a lot of news updates on Twitter and everything else on Instagram but I would post other content on Twitter to make things more interesting.

Week 1A: My Template

      Welcome to my blog! For my theme I chose a travel, aesthetic and nature look. Reasons why I chose this type of theme is because I am really passionate about traveling and I want to see what Mother Nature and what the human race has created over the years all around the world.     The background photo that I have chosen is a place in South Korea during the cherry  bloosem season. One of my dreams is to go to South Korea and attend their cherry blossom festival. I also have dreams of going to many other places like Greece, Paris, Japan, etc.      To add on to the theme I chose a specific font, Reenie Beanie, to add on a feel that you are reading from a handwritten travel journal instead of an internet blog.  Throughout this blog I hope to evolve and show more of my theme!     In the  past and even now today, people have used blogs and other social media platforms to promote and grow their business. Although depending on your business and who you are targeting is what tells you what

Week 10: Email Marketing Part 1

When it comes to newsletters, I think a business should have a monthly newsletter and maybe more if there is an upcoming event and you want to remind them. Staying connected with your customers is great way for them to stay regular and keeping them updated.  Newsletters should have updates on the company itself and if you are working on anything new. Also it should have information on upcoming events and sales. I think putting in a discount code or coupon only in the newsletters would not only want customers to subscribe to the letter for a discount, but it will force them to read it and stay informed. In result of that could be more loyal customers and possibly bring in new customers.  Content ideas for my business: Add 15% on the next package you buy with the discount code TravelGuardian5. Could inform that there will be new travel packages coming out in the next two weeks. Add a celebratory note saying we made it to our 1,000th customer and thank all the loyal customers.  If there i
