Week 5 Social Media for Strategic Communication Chapter 9-10

For our final week of class, we read through chapters 9 and 10. I want to focus in on chapter 10 which is about the numbers behind social media.

Parts of this chapter I used for our Pinterest assignment last week. In that assignment I looked at social media measurements and different ways to measure social media accounts. Using this you can find out what is important and what works better. This is important so in the future you know what works which helps make the overall process easier. Say a content creator makes 5 different posts with different content and catered for different people. You could look at the data which in this case would be views, likes, retweets, gained followers, etc. These stats could help you find out what works better for the future.

Another important topic brought up is social media budget. To most people social media budget is zero. Once you get to a certain size or maybe someone is trying to get noticed. A social media budget is useful. Most organizations and creator have investments into social media. For YouTubers it could be programs for editing videos such as Adobe Premier Pro or Blender. Before editing the video, you would need to buy a camera and laptop or pc. Beyond that there are many accessories that can elevate a creator’s video on YouTube. Better microphones, cameras, laptop or pc, lighting, stream deck, etc. The list goes on and on depending on the content someone posts. Especially on YouTube most major creators have a team of video editors who edit and post video for the creator.

Chapter 10 gives insight to some more behind the scenes while dealing with social media.

Week 4 SMSC

As week 4 rolls around and is ending there has been something on my mind recently that happened by in May after school ended. When finals were done and I went home and was excited for summer. I needed time away from the classroom and this would be my final summer where I was able to spend most of it with the family. About 3 days after I had been home my granny came to visit my sister who was in town and me at our house. My grandma never liked being called grandma so we called her granny. We ate lunch together and talk for a long time since it had been a while since I had seen her in person with covid and everything. She mentioned how lonely she had become because of it and she had no one to talk to a lot of the time. I told her that I would spend the summer at her house cleaning it out like I did last summer. Eventually she ended up leaving and going home since there was a storm coming, she did not want to be caught in it. 2 days later it is mother’s day. In my family on mother’s d

USA vs. Mexico

There was a huge soccer match this past Friday night. USA played Mexico in Cincinnati for their seventh world cup qualifying match. This means they are halfway through world cup qualifying for the 2022 world cup in Qatar. The match is extremely important since Mexico was top of the group before the match was played and if USA won the match, we would move into first place above Mexico. The match was crazy! Pulisic is USA’s best player but he has recently just come back from injury so he did not start. Usually, USA starts off their matches slowly and does not play to well in the first half. Mexico dominated the first half but thankfully did not get a goal. Then the second half started and this is where the action truly began. The game became more chippy and emotions started to rise up. USA started to look better but Mexico was still getting the better chances. That was until Pulisic was subbed into the game with 25 minutes to go. As soon as he came into the game the mentally of the who

Week 3 Social Media for Strategic Communication Chapters 4-6

This week we read Chapters 4-6 in Social Media for Strategic Communication. Chapter 6 specifically stood out to me. In anything we do we should have a plan of what we want to accomplish. Chapter 6 talks about strategic planning for social media. I found this intriguing because most people who use social media do this to some extent. When someone is making a social media post, they subconsciously think about pre-existing information on whatever they are going to post. While individuals may not explicitly think about what they want from their social media post. People post to get a reaction, or they have an end goal to what they posted. They may not necessarily follow every step laid out in chapter 6, but the mindset is similar. This chapter opened my mind to what companies think about potentially when posting on their social media’s. The end goal of a company is to make money. So, when they are doing social media posts whether it is promoting or just creating conversation online com
