Social Media Strategy



What exactly are you focused on about your social media strategy?

Some of the things that I am focused on in regards to a social media strategy are, expressing myself in a way that can be both productive and fun for anyone who comes across my social media platforms. In other words, I try to focus on how I can share my thoughts and ideas in a way that doesn't provoke arguments or heated debates in the comment section (if there is any.) I try to focus more on how I can get people to react to my posts in a positive way rather than posting something that can anger people. For example, I love photography, so I try to post the most aesthetically pleasing photos that I can in order to gain a positive response from my audience.



Can you name and explain some of the basic principles of a social media strategy?

Some of the basic principles of a social media strategy are learning about your audience, and how to gain a following. In other words, one of the most important things about creating a social media strategy is your audience/followers. One of the best ways to gain a following is to understand your audience and understand what it is that they expect out of you/your social media. For example, going off of my previous example of photography, one of the ways that I can better understand my audience is to post pictures of various things such as: sunsets, food, animals. etc. and seeing which photos gets a good response and which ones do not. Then I can make a note of that in my future posts. 



The purpose of the assignment is to think about how to properly think before you post anything on social media. 


The key question at the heart of the assignment is what (if any) other types of strategies can you think of to help you when posting on social media in the future?

Week 5 - Collaborative Connections

  What is the purpose of a collaborative connection? The purpose of a collaborative connection is to meet people with similar goals and/or interests in order to create bonds to help each other achieve their goals. Collaborative connections, as I interpret it, a community of like-minded people reaching out to others just like themselves on social media and creating bonds and sub-communities. People connecting online and supporting each other in a positive way and thus working together to achieve a common goal. For example, a group of cancer survivors or friends and families of cancer patients can form a sub-community online to connect with each other. Consoling and comforting those in times of great hard-ships, and maybe organizing events to help raise awareness or money for families in dire need. If you decided to make a collaborate connection online what would happen? Ideally, what I would want to happen would be to maybe create a connection online, I would want people to of cours...

Week 10 - Essential Questions About Sharing

  What do you take for granted or assume about sharing? What I assume/take for granted about sharing is the idea that people who post stuff online, usually do it to be heard and seen. Whether it be for their close friends and families, or on a more public platform. In some extreme cases, some people will post stuff online in hopes to become internet famous, or the next big influencer. In other words, people use social media to share their thoughts and opinions on various topics. People also use social media as a way to “show off” a window into their lives. The food they’re eating, where they visited, who they hang out with, all get shared on social media. Most do it for fun or recreationally, while others do it as their main source of income, or try to. For example, a woman by the name of  Lissette Calveiro ,  put herself into $10,000 in debt trying to become an Instagram influencer. She bought expensive clothes, and traveling to different locations all for Instagram. T...

Week 5 - Intellectual Standards Part 2

  Depth 1. I understand "depth" to mean providing a deeper meaning of a subject.   2. In other words, a statement that goes beyond just a simple explanation. Instead, providing it's purpose and underlying concepts hidden between the lines.   3. An example of someone exhibiting depth with social media would be my friend on YouTube talking about a specific book, movie, or video game that she really loves. She will give a brief description of the topic in question, then she will give her own opinions and/or give her own interpretations of the work to her viewers.   Breadth 1. I understand "breadth" to mean allowing for interpretations from different points of view. 2. In other words, creating an open discussion on certain topics and subjects. Thus allowing people to voice their own opinions from all perspectives instead of focusing on one insight over all others.  3. An example of someone exhibiting breadth with social media would be my frien...
