Week 15 Wrapping
Things Up & Looking Ahead
When I first enrolled in the class I had a different idea of what it would be about. I did not expect that we would create our own Facebook and Twitter “business” sites. However, it was an excellent exercise to better understand how social media works.
This class gave me the realization that social media is
vital to your business and another resource to drive traffic to your sites for
“new” customers. I discovered the power of social media is becoming more a
necessity than just for social networking. It exposes your business to a wider
audience. I was surprised that there are so many social media platforms,
but selecting the platform that best suits your business is critical.
Being
introduced to the Google Analytics, a tool that is highly beneficial in
developing your marketing strategy, branding your products/services, finding
out what works and doesn’t work, and gaining knowledge of where your followers
are coming from. I also learned there are so many
other tools to utilize to grow your business.
One big
discovery was the fact on how much time and effort it takes to maintain your
social media platforms. Also, how important it is to have your followers either
“like, share or comment” on your site. Another thing, content, content, content
will bring new customers and retain current customers.
There was a lot to learn and a bit
overwhelming at times to absorb everything in a short period of time. Nonetheless, I enjoyed the class and
am more confident about social media. Today, I am better equipped and knowlegeable to respond to family and friends when
they ask about social media.
Thank you.
Happy Holidays and a Prosperous New Year!
