Week 17: Wrapping It Up

I had a great time playing around with different social posts in this class and learning about new social platforms + some of my classmates' businesses. It's really cool to see how people right in my community are working hard to make their businesses as good as they can be! I don't think my viewpoint of social media has changed over the last few months, but my awareness of what's possible through it has changed. For example, I never thought to use meetup or Linkedin for my business. I definitely have a better understanding of how to use social media to develop a business, especially in terms of creating a newsletter, scheduling and experimenting with different forms of social media. I also found the research we did on our target market and possible hashtags to be helpful. I will definitely be incorporating some of those hashtags into more of my posts.

Week 13 PartB: Developing Online Advertising

I created a few potential ads for FB and Instagram above. In my next attempt, I need to figure out how to alter the copy below the image. I tried doing a couple of general ads and then a few that boosted some of my more popular posts.  I've done Twitter ads for a website before and those seemed easy to create/monitor, so in the future, I would definitely try to do some on Twitter for North County Fam.  For social ads, I think my main objective would be to build brand awareness, establish an online presence and engage with people. I'm not selling anything (yet), so I'd just be utilizing the ads to get more people to my social pages and subscribe to my newsletter.

Week1A: My Spooky Blog Theme

Welcome to my blog! I chose this theme because, well, fall is approaching and my daughter and I love Halloween. Why not get in the "spirit" already? This coral/orange color felt urgent but also fun! I felt this theme had a clean, user-friendly look too-- which is likely what you want when you have people quickly scrolling through content, right? I changed a few of the fonts to make them more legible (no italics, for example). I'm planning to make some more adjustments depending on how many photos I use and whether the format is working in terms of the content I'm putting out.  *Noting here that I wrote these as three separate paragraphs, but the theme joined them all together. I even tried altering the html language... to no avail. Anyway, I need to figure out how to create separate paragraphs on this blog! Let the learning experience begin!
