WEEK ONE

When choosing a theme and layout for my blog I was looking for something that really represents my personality. I decided to go with a Contempo theme that has the ocean incorporated into it. I have always lived on the coast and grew up going to the beach a few times a week so this is really fitting.

I love that the colors used are bright and inviting. I love to travel, I would be traveling full time if I could. I look forward to seeing new places and experiencing new cultures from all over the world. So far my favorite place to travel to is Hawaii. I grew up going to Kauai with my family for a few every summer and staying at our timeshare. This was such an amazing thing to be able to experience as a kid and I the islands hold a special place in my heart. As an adult, I have been lucky enough to go back and explore the other islands with friends and loved ones. By far my favorite Island to visit in Oahu. I feel like this island has something for everyone because you have the more relaxed north shore and then to the fast-paced city of Honolulu.

Some of my favorite activities include hiking, swimming, reading, horseback riding, and hanging out with loved ones. It is a great feeling to be able to go hang out at the beach and relax with your toes in the sand. I hope that this semester goes really smoothly and when things do get stressful this class and my blog layout will be a reminder to me of some of my favorite things!

    I really enjoy looking at this layout. The cool blue colors and the background image give off a very relaxing vibe. I could hang out and read stuff on your blog all day.

Week 16

I found that twitter really surprised me with all of the options it offered for marketing and ads and I was also shocked at the prices being so high.  Overall I find that Instagram offers really reasonable advertisement options and a ton of insights. I will definitely implement all of the skills and strategies that we learned about this semester into my marketing strategies for future business endeavors. I think that what platform works best for you really depends on what you're looking for and who your audience is.  It seems to me that the more time a business puts into their marketing efforts and social media the more results they will receive. If you are are not putting any effort into your social media then you won't have the same results as someone who is dedicated to reaching a bigger audience.  Daily goals would be to make sure I am active in at least some way once a day. This could be through following other accounts, liking similar business', responding

WEEK TWO

 In my opinion, Instagram seems to be the most geared towards personal use. Most social media platforms started as a way to keep in contact with friends and family but quickly evolved into a way to promote products and new businesses. One of the most groundbreaking social media sites is Facebook. I think that as social media has grown into a business platform that Facebook has stayed current and made their site something that would be great for not just socializing but promoting your company and connecting with interested customers.  One social media platform that is not geared towards business, in my opinion, is Twitter. Twitter seems to be one of the only sites that has not become a major business platform. Instagram seems to work great for both personal and business-related uses. "Influencers" can promote products for companies and make lots of money based off of the number of followers they have. It is not uncommon to see Instagrams with 200k+ followers posting ads and

WEEK 17 : Wrapping It Up

Over the semester we learned so much about social media and I really got to see another side to it that I had never really been involved with. I have always used social media as a way to connect purely with friends and family and stay up to date with what is happening in everyone's lives. It was really eye-opening for me to see the business side of social media and what a huge advantage it can be to any business. My viewpoint on social media has definitely changed. I am currently going to school to earn a degree in marketing. I have always thought of myself as outgoing and have worked sales jobs in the past that really showcased my best qualities. I feel that my major really combines my strong points and I will eventually land in a career that I will love. That being said it was awesome to really get to see the social media marketing world.  Social media marketing is such a huge part of today's society, the online world is really taking over and everyone is jumping on
