• Reflect on the various lessons you’ve learned throughout the semester. Which areas did you find yourself most drawn to?  What was the most valuable module to you – and how did it impact your Client/Personal Online Reputation project?

I found myself most drawn to the numbers and data side of social media marketing. The creation of Ads was fun, but the setting up of the accounts wasn’t what I was interested in, it was the maintaining and gathering of data. Finding the analytics on each platform, it really got me into gear to make changes so I could see the success of what I was doing.

• Share how you could see your client or yourself using the Hootsuite platform in the future. Take a screenshot of your Hootsuite dashboard and share it on this blog post.

I think Hootsuite is a great platform to use! I would use it for the information it provides and the access to their documents and organizational tools.

Part 2

• What did you learn from your client/reviewer? What did you do well?  What would you do differently next time?

I am still waiting on my client review. She is very busy. She works full time and has this business I helped her with on the side. I also believe she has been out of town for the past few days. She had to put up with me all semester, so I didn’t want to bug her/pressure her.

I learned so much! The main thing I learned was how to monitor your social media’s activity, I had no idea about this feature and I kind of want to start a business just because of this, and I might be slightly addicted to checking it! I also learned how to make and publish an Ad, which was a fun experience!

Other things I learned:

How to link your social media accounts

That you can censor posts by not allowing certain words

About lists

Setting up direct messaging

Keeping each social media account uniform

Tracking your demographics

Aligning your business goals/needs with your social media accounts

how to set up a content calendar

I looked into “beer paws” on Facebook. It is craft beer treats for dogs. They donate a percentage of their profits to shelters ((a good strategy we learned about)).

I think they are successful because they post a lot, they have done community work that has got them recognition.

It doesn’t look like they have a branded hashtag, since they utilize a lot of social media, I would suggest having one so they can be easily searched.

They post more than just “what they do” so I might suggest posting things that aren’t just pictures. Maybe cute gifs or videos about animals, that might attract someone to the page and get them looking around. Post about community events that are “pet focused”. Like more community pages.

I would like her to get to 1,000 followers on both Facebook and Instagram. I plan on doing that by liking pages that are similar to hers, and looking for more followers that would like what she does. Continue to push the branded hashtag.

PART B–>I think that these suggestions will help because it will get her noticed in other groups. I think that is an important way to gain followers. They see your name popping up in pages that they like and they are going to get curious and start looking around your page.

Week 2 is proving to be a tad overwhelming. Working with someone else and their schedule is difficult, but we are working through it and I am excited for this assignment.

I could be doing this very wrong. But I guess that is why I am taking this class. With that being said, I didn’t really find anything about me. I even searched my name with the town I live in, in the search box and did not come up with much. I did find something very alarming, I found something that listed all my information on it, including my phone number, people I am related to, and an old address. Other than that, nothing popped up, not even on image search. I thought for sure a facebook photo or an old social media site photo would come up. Trying to search my “buddy” was an even more difficult task which was fruitless. Add this to my list of things I want to learn from this class.
