Week 14: Social Media Management Tools (Part B)

The posts of my classmates that I've commented on:

Jose Luna: "Hey Jose, I really liked how you explained each tool based on how it could help your landscaping business. This made everything super easy to understand! Buffer is a great place to start, especially since it’s affordable and not too complicated. I also didn’t know much about Loomly before, but it seems helpful for planning out content, especially if you start working with someone else on marketing. I’m curious to hear how Buffer works out for you once you try it!"

Coco Dry: "Hey Coco, I really enjoyed reading your breakdown of these tools, especially how you tied them into your content style for Coco Shuffles! It sounds like you put a lot of thought into matching the features to your actual workflow, which is amazing. I hadn’t heard much about Metricool either, but after seeing how much it offers for free, especially with platforms like TikTok and YouTube, I’m definitely interested in checking it out too. Later also seems like a strong choice for visual creators, but I agree that the post limits on the free version can potentially be frustrating. Great insights and post in general!"

April Hay: "Hey April, I really liked how honest and straightforward your review was. I get what you mean about a lot of the tools feeling similar, as it does seem like most of them offer the same basic features, just with different pricing tiers. I also think it makes sense to use a free version for a small business to save time and money, especially if you’re trying to handle everything on your own. I haven’t checked out Brandwatch or Content Studio yet, but now I know which ones might not be worth the time. Buffer, in my opinion, would be a solid choice with a clean layout and fair prices!"

    Reading all three of my classmates posts gave me a better understanding of how different social media tools work for different types of businesses. Jose showed me how Buffer can help small businesses stay consistent online without spending too much. Coco introduced me to Metricool, which seems perfect for creators managing short-form content across multiple platforms. Finally, April had a really honest take and reminded me that simple, affordable tools like Buffer can often be the best choice, especially for individuals or small teams. Overall, I learned that the best tool is to each its own and really depends on one's goals, budget, and how much time they want to spend managing their content!

Week1A: My Blog Theme

 Hey everyone, I went with a pretty basic abstract art theme for my blog! What's ironic about this is that I have never been attracted to these styles of art, nor would I have thought to have picked it for a theme.  The reason why I chose this to display my blog was not necessarily due to a changing of perspective over time, but more so from surprising relatability. When I saw this art piece, what I admired the most was the "controlled chaos" that it produced. Everything seemed all over the place yet so well put together at the same time. Recently, my life has felt this way with my messy and uncoordinated work schedule yet constant procrastinated victories. Although this is something that I must improve upon and am hoping to throughout the year, I felt that this was the best fitting theme to use for my blogs as of now. As for the rest, I kept it pretty basic by only boldening and slightly enlarging the texts. I don't have much of a reason why I chose to leave the othe...

Week 2 Part B - Business Research

Amazon https://www.amazon.com/ Amazon is a huge business centered around the shipping of all sorts of products all throughout the world. Upon research, the biggest social media applications that Amazon uses is Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and Instagram. These social media accounts were not linked to their official website and I had to search for it myself. When I checked their twitter, they do post advertisement skits and media regularly, however, engagement seems very low. YouTube, on the other hand, seems to take a different approach with less frequent posts but higher engagement and reactions. From what I'm seeing, the videos are a mixture of sneaky advertisements as well as what seems like guides and tutorials of some sort. Their other social media accounts seem to follow a similar trajectory to Twitter. Facebook: last posted 16 hours ago with 29 million followers. YouTube: last posted 4 weeks ago with 816k subscribers. Twitter: last posted 13 hours ago with 6 million followers....

Week 11 Part A: Using AI, Social Influencers, LinkedIn, Conversation based Social Media and more

     W hen the to pic of using Artificial Intelligence for social media came up, I was immediately interested, especially since I’m currently running my own (fictitious) Asian cuisine business . With so much competition in the food industry, especially online, looking for creative and efficient ways to promote a brand and keeping customers highly engaged is very important. While I already use Instagram and Facebook to post about specials and new dishes, I realized AI could be a tool to help take things to the next level.       Running a food business means juggling a lot of moving parts, and coming up with daily or weekly content ideas can be time-consuming. I’ve been trying out AI writing tools like ChatGPT to help brainstorm catchy captions, write menu descriptions, and even create promotional posts. This can greatly help me stay consistent with my posting schedule without spending hours trying to figure out what to say. Additionally, you can save a lot o...
