This is Inspired By You & Co. last blog posting for my Social Media Marketing class at Chippewa Valley Technical College. After looking through my blog posts week after week, I have shown growth in my quality of blog postings since my first blog. Social Media Marketing has really tested me. All this time I thought I knew the in's and out of social media because I am on Facebook and Instagram ALL the time! However, I was shockingly wrong. This class challenged me and broke me out of my comfort zone with my writing, advertising, and overall creativity.
In our Social Media Marketing class we were introduced to a variety of different plat forms of social media including Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Jing, Soundcloud, Podcast, and blogger to name a few.
My personal favorite plat forms to work with were Facebook, Pinterest, and Blogger. Marketing Inspired By You & Co. on Facebook made me feel "safe" so to speak because comfortable posting and sharing on Facebook. Facebook was a great source for me to link and share DIY projects with our friends who liked Inspired By You & Co. Facebook page. Pinterest was my personal favorite platform because it is full of fun and easy DIY projects. Pinterest allowed me to pin and share DIY crafts and projects with my followers and friends. I would tweet and post on Facebook inspirations that I found on Pinterest which made it fun way to engage and connect with friends. Blogger really, really challenged me. However, blogger broke me out of my comfort zone and made me delve into my creativity. It's been great to see my growth in my blog postings week to week. I am embarrassed to say that my first blog posting didn't include any words, it was just a picture of an open house invitation. What's the point of a blog if it doesn't have words? I now know how to write a creative, credible, and well written blog.
If Inspired By You & Co. was a real business I would definitely utilize some of the social media plat forms that we learned about. I would primarily focus on marketing through Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Facebook allows you to advertise within a specific budget to a market that you might not be able to reach through other social media plat forms. Facebook is a great way to share upcoming
events or specials with your Facebook friends. Twitter is very interactive form of connecting with your followers. Twitter allows followers to share photos, hashtag, tweet, and retweet information with their followers that you posted on Twitter. Instagram is a great visual representation of your company. You can upload photos to Instagram of upcoming events, projects, or inspirations to share with your followers.
Excellent reflection.
