Week 16 Post 2

My viewpoint of social media has certainly changed. As someone who only used social media for personal reasons, every time I would exit social media I wouldn't feel enriched at all, in fact I felt like I wasted time because I seen things that I don't really care for. However, using social media for business has opened my eyes to the huge opportunities it can present, such as gaining access to incredibly big markets and getting connected with many other like minded people who can potentially help the business in the future.

Yes I feel this class has helped me understand my options better to help me decide which is the best strategy for my business to adopt. Also, it has helped me use the tools on some of the biggest platforms such as Facebook and Instagram.

I have also learned, how to successfully develop a business by releasing lots of accessible information for my customers. Such as how they can buy from us and our general business practices and why we should be bought from instead of our competitors.

I have started using some of the tools myself already but not for the business that I started with this semester. When my other classes went online I had to change my project for one of them (KINE 292) where I developed a free live streaming service dedicated to yoga. I used many of the tools from this class to help promote it and in one month of operation I have managed to get around 150 organic likes to the page. I will be using more of these tools I have learned from this class to develop it further.

Thank you for a wonderful semester Professor Faulk. I understand it's been incredibly stressful but I generally enjoyed your class, you're a fantastic tutor and I wouldn't hesitate to take another class in the future. I hope you have an amazing summer.
