Week 12 Part B: Business Specific Tools

I first commented on Encinitas Donuts. I thought her idea of a meetup collaboration with a coffee shop was a great idea. Maybe I could do the same with another parenting group or just another parent who wants to share ideas on what to do in N. County. I also loved her idea of going to a convention. I'm sure you get tons of contacts that way! Now Im going to look into parenting group conventions or other events. 

From Carlos P's post, I learned you could start a podcast/audio library on Spotify! Maybe I will see what kinds of parenting podcasts are out there and maybe even find one based in SD.

From Alexis, I learned about Hivebrite and did a little more of my own research into it. 

From Sarah, I learned about LinkedIn courses! I think that could be really helpful for me, especially since I would love to learn more about podcasting and perhaps adding it as an element of my business. I really had no idea they had so many courses.

Overall, it's very interesting to see how different each of my classmates responded to this prompt and what they found. Their business are very different in terms of how long they've been around and what they do (from donuts to music podcasting). I think the big takeaways besides the tools I learned about from them is that every business has to do what's best for them and what makes sense with the time they have and resources. Not every tool is going to work for every business, so you have to be smart about which ones you choose to focus on!

Wk15A: Using Google Analytics to Improve your Marketing: FA22 CSIT 155 1574

I think I could use Google Analytics to see how many page views I'm getting, what time of day, how much people interact with my site, etc. I had a chance to look at what my site is doing now, and it was interesting to see how many new users I had and how long they stayed on my site.  From the reading, I was reminded to check out “What’s Trending” in various social media to see what people are talking about. I believe that was also a tip mentioned in the textbook. For example, if parents in San Diego are posting about crowded xmas tree lots, I could write a post on the "Least crowded xmas tree farms" or "Most affordable places to get your xmas tree this year." I also think I could use Google ads to increase my brand presence and target people searching for things to do in San Diego or people who had looked at similar blogs, perhaps.  It's interesting that you can also anticipate future customer actions with Google’s machine learning. That's a really cool ...

Week 6 Part B: Creating and Scheduling FaceBook Posts

This was fun! I am having a great time exploring my classmate's pages and seeing their posts. Here are the ones I visited/commented on: Amy Mather: https://www.facebook.com/Protein4PetsVista/ Kristy Yam: https://www.facebook.com/EncinitasDonuts Pablo Correa: https://www.facebook.com/PurpleTsunamiClothing/ I also posted a few things on my page ( North County Fam ) and scheduled a few upcoming posts (all below). I think these posts will engage my audience because they are fun upcoming events, include questions and utilize colorful, easy-to-view images. I'm curious to see how people engage with them!
