Week 17: Wrapping It Up

 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!

Morgan's Blog (Week 1-CSIT 155)

                                                                                   Welcome to My Blog!       ~Hello~ Bienvenidos ~ 안녕하세요     Hello everyone! So I decided to go with one of the “Notable” pink styled themed because it was one of the first templates I really felt fit the blog style I envisioned. This template automatically caught my eye so I went with it! First, I’m a fan of pink colored things including clothes, gifts and makeup and I like the fairly simple blog template.  I also feel that pink is a nice and pleasant uplifting color so I like to have the color incorporated in my media themes. Pink is bright and is often used in a pastel way or in a retro way and I am also a fan of those styles of design. (I also utilize pink quite...

Week 11: Marketing with Twitter, LinkedIn, Social Influencers

 This week is a really big week because the content is about several different social media/business platforms as well as social media influencing which is something that I am pursuing. I just opened a new Twitter and LinkedIn account for my kpop page. First, LinkedIn is something that I have opened a long time ago and I also have opened a personal Twitter a while ago. This is the first time I’m using both for a more business aspect of social media. I’m excited to have my new Twitter handle @moskpoppage! Twitter:  https://twitter.com/moskpoppage LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/mo-b-379a5520b/   For the LinkedIn platform, I think it’s cool how it connects you to other business around and companies in your field of business. This is something I want it really engage in further to connect to others in my area of entertainment and social media, I haven’t really used LinkedIn so it will be really helpful to increase my usage of the application and add more to my pr...

Week 10 Part A: Researching Email Marketing

 This week is an interesting one because it is about Email Newsletters which is something that I have never personally utilized. I have received newsletters numbers of times and subscription lists from stores and organizations etc. It's true that some business send these emails quite often or after purchases, I personally think that can be a little too often. For me as an influencer and a YouTuber I think that once a month would be fine because I use instagram and YouTube to reach people everyday to every week. I think often emails could possibly be a bit of over exposure for my branding, but it's possible it could also help! I would have to test the email system out to see what my analytics would show. I'm not totally sure how well emails would work for my audience age group (13-26) social media may be more popular for engagement. I receive newsletters really often from stores so I think those are top ways that clothing stores etc. really utilize. For me I think my ...
