Week 8 Blog Post 1

After doing some research I think that Instagram will probably be the best way for me to sell my product. I think the other websites are good visual platforms but for my Ice Cream business it just is not helpful. I think that Youtube is a great visual platform when you are selling yourself or a brand. Youtubers that promote their merchandise or them selves obviously use Youtube to get out there. From their they may also launch other products but they get their viewers and business started on Youtube. I think Pinterest is a great place to promote a product you have created your self. For those artistic people possibly selling their craft, Pinterest is a great place for your product to get exposure and shared because that is a big trend on that website.

I am selling Ice Cream at a brick and mortar place. If I was counting on selling my ice cream online, that would be a different story. Instagram would be a great place to get exposure through things like likes and sharing. Instagram is will be good visually because  I will be able to add photos of my products or videos of the creation of the products. That is also a great way of setting up promotions that are exclusively pushed through online. Instead of buying signs constantly for any sales or deals, online is free and makes it so that customers have to visit your page or interact to get that deal they want.

CSIT 155 Week One Blog

Originally I wanted to go with something simple. I wanted to have just one solid color for my template so that there inst too much distraction. I also had to keep in mind that I needed to stand out just a little. I went with the trees and pink because I think they compliment each other nicely People get distracted fairly easy when browsing. It is important not to make things too complicated. If a site is hard to navigate or is hard on the eyes they will leave and not even bother reading what you have to say. I have worked in retail I know that little things like the colors and music matter to the shoppers. The same way you run a business it he same way you should run a blog. Lastly when your blog is being talked about it is important that it something that the viewers can remember. I named my blog after me not only because the professor asked but because it's mine. Since high school I have always used alteration in my tittles to stand out and be a bit memorable. In this case I

Week 2 Assignment

All social media is geared towards personal use. Some of them have more of a community base interaction while others are more one on one level.Twitter does a great job of this. When it comes down to business, there are some social media that are more effective.  The first one that comes to mind is Facebook.  Instagram is also famous for promotions, but the one I think people forget about is Snapchat. All of these social medias work well for both but some are more suitable than others for business. Twitter I think is the one least likely to promote anything. Twitter has so many tweets going out that some posts get lost. This is due to the fact that it is only 140 characters. Sometimes twitter is just treated like a diary to post and not really read. On the other hand we have other platforms that excel in promotion.  For example, Facebook is a great way to get your small business out there because you are able to post events and set it up like a website. Users are already on Face

Week 6 Blog Post

On Facebook post reach is exactly what it sounds like. It is how many people saw your posts. It is important to note that even though someone might have seen your post multiple times the results of how many people have reached your posts will still be counted as a one. Post engagement is when a Facebook user actually likes, shares, or comments on your posts. It is important to know the difference because if you are running a Facebook page it is important to make sure your goal is post engagement. Post engagement plays a important role in Facebook's logarithm of what it shows its users. For example if some one likes a couple of your posts, even though they might not be following you, it might be more likely that your new posts will show up in their feed. This is good because it exposes you to people that have liked your stuff before. It get your more engagement and helps your reach new users as well. By using Facebook insights you are using a very essential tool to help your bus
