Final Blog Post Here!
This semester has been great! I am really glad I enrolled in this course. Through this course I discovered a few platforms and advertising ideas as well as learned how to start a blog, I first have to say the help and communication in this class was terrific. Starting out I had never really looked into blogs, but towards the end of class I started a website and added a blog to it! Check out my blog (Link here) www.moskpoppage.com I enjoy blogging and putting some of my top post in a blog/website format so that was a fun thing that added more to my website as well.
Next, I want to say I was able to accumulate quite a big amount of information on how important the use of social media is and that gives a bit of motivation when engagement is low in between times to keep pushing. I was encouraged in this class to try new things and styles and I was finally able to develop and Instagram style and aesthetic that I personally love and am comfortable with as well as one that is currently excelling. I’m super excited about this. At first I wasn’t entirely sure which way to go and it was tough trying to figure out what I wanted to do with my Instagram page. Instagram and YouTube remain my top sources of social media and I have found a color scheme, fashion style and photo aesthetic that’s consistent and I feel really good about building my media.
For me I think the biggest thing for me that changed for social media is improving my engagement and use of ads. I have been able to start facebook ads for instagram and focus on a targeted audience more. I also have learned how important it is for building a brand. I am still surprised how many businesses don't utilize social media that much, like small restaurants and shops etc. For me I want to take advantage of the resources like youtube, instagram, TikTok top, website blog more. I definitely feel I have a better grasp on social media, during this semester I was even able to make the 3,000 mark for instagram followers! I'm currently at 3,300 instagram follower:) So I'm super excited to reach that, my main goal is to reach the 10,000 follower mark.
The next platform I wan't to walk about it LinkedIn! This one was interesting because I had started one years ago for a business class at Oklahoma State University, but I never really looked into it. The class I took during that time did not really go into depth about the importance of LinkedIn. Also, I did not have any business or branding those few years ago. Recently on linkedIn I've been able to connect with a few people in the kpop industry and other digital artist, and some female business marketers as well. I also did not know that you could apply for jobs on there which is so convenient and useful!
In conclusion I really appreciated this semester, it was filled with great business insights. It really helped me retain motivation because it's tough as a new influencer and starting with a smaller follower count and having to build that up. Reading about how important social media meant a lot to me as an influencer because it shows that there is a place for influencers and shows that they are important to businesses big and small. I hope to start working with more businesses and increasing my network. this class has most definitely been a positive addition for me as an influencer and for my social media pages. I was also able to reach 230 youtube subscribers during this class as well. Looking forward to more social media business education!
