The Art of Social Media: Power Tips for Power Users
1. Social media has been increasing rapidly throughout the years making it a platform for communication, jobs, etc. This book talks about some tips and tricks about how to use social media. It provides insights into Linkedin, Facebook, Twitter, etc.
2. This book resonates with this class on different things. One is that all of our assignments are posted through a digital platform. This class teaches us that social media is an important part of our society nowadays and helps us incorporate it into our daily lives. Also, feedback as the book mentions is also important in social media. In this class, we incorporate this by providing our peers with feedback on their blog posts. Creating the posts and providing feedback is preparing us for our social media accounts and how to manage and reply to our posts on different platforms.
3. If I had to create an exercise for this class based on this book, it would involve social media. It would require students to write down the different tips the book covers for each platform and incorporate them into their social media accounts. This would help them make it more interesting and benefit from the tips the book mentioned.
4. Since social media is so important nowadays, I'm always fascinated by all the books and videos that talk about how to use it wisely. This book was great at providing tips and how feedback is crucial. My "aha" moment was probably how gaining followers is also an important aspect and requires what you post to be consistent and to always keep track of new platforms so that the competition is minimal when first introduced. This book was an interesting read and it was fun to write about it.
Hi Guiliana, this book sounds really interesting. As you mentioned, social media is very important in our day to day lives and it is very beneficial to understand how to gain a following. I think it is very important for business owners to make social media a priority in order for them to be successful. Business owners can keep up with consumer’s comments and how they could improve their company.
ReplyDeleteHi Guiliana, the book you read was my second choice because social media is something I use like everyday, and every minute of my leisure time. I think your activity would be an interesting one because it is like incorporating entertainment with education, which is a great balance. I feel as though this book will be beneficial for building knowledge on how to use social media to spread your product or service, and how to engage with your consumers or targeted segment.
ReplyDeleteHi Guiliana,
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like it was an interesting read. With social media being very present in most peoples lives now a days, I could imagine there were a lot of personal connections you could have made in regards to your personal life and this class. This topic of social media is also being discussed in my business writing class, which is wild to me that the topic is being covered in so many areas of education recently. Overall good post!
Guiliana,
ReplyDeleteI like the emphasis you put on being consistent with social media usage when representing a business. It is so important to always remain relevant, and with the fast-paced environment that social media provides, that usually requires daily interactions online, or you'll fall behind and become irrelevant. You made a lot of really good points!
Guiliana,
ReplyDeleteThis book sure seemed like an interesting read. Have you taken any social media specific classes at UF? I’ve taken a couple, but they only skim the basics of using it to represent businesses, unfortunately. I felt like all the information that I was given could have easily been found on a Pinterest article. Do you think this book got really into it? Or highlighted aspects that don’t first come to mind?
Hi Guiliana,
ReplyDeleteI also read The Art of Social Media. I didn't even consider how this class is an online class and it connects with the book on that level. In my post, I mentioned how we are talking about creating a product that solves a customer products and one of the aspect of that is marketing to your customers. This relates to the book since it teaches you how to use social media and get the most from it. Overall, I think you did a great job at your post and I completely agree with you that these tips were super helpful on how you should grow your social media.
