Week 8 Post

-

I have been taking the class for around 9 weeks. During these weeks, i learn many social media marketing skills. It is the time to sum up my statistics and see my result. Now, I am using Facebook, Blogger, Youtube and Twitter. I just create my LinkedIn account, so I am still getting familiar with it.

Facebook:
I have eight posts on Facebook during the class. The posts are all linked to my blogger. I use Facebook to promote my blogger. Actually it is a good tool to promote my blogger. Before this class, I did not use Facebook. I signed up the account when I first came to US. I decided to use my real Facebook account for this class.  I have 135 friends right now on Facebook. I joined a UCR's Facebook group. I will continue using Facebook during the time I stay in the US.

Blogger



I have  319 Total views during the class. My week 6 post have the most views. I have 11 comments total. 

Vlog
I have a 14 video reviews for my vlog. I did not receive any comments for my vlog. I think I should make my video more interesting. 


Twitter
I am following 9 people and I have 5 followers. I have 7 Tweets. I have never used twitter before taking the class. I think it is an important platform to do marketing in the US. 


LinkedIn
I did not have LinkedIn before the class. I think it is a good media to find people in professional area. I can meet a lot of my classmates in LinkedIn. I can also join different groups that is related to my major. LinkedIn is a very useful tool for professional career. It is also important to build a good personal brand on LinkedIn, I will continue to use LinkedIn after the class ends. 

Overall, I think I learn a lot in this class. I can tell the differences and focus for social media. I will focus more on Twitter if I can do differently.

It is important to market yourself because marketing yourself is building your personal brand. You will have a lot of benefits if you build a brand of yourself. For example, if you have a strong personal brand, people are more likely to contact you and make friend with you. The process of marketing yourself also adds value to you.

The best time to send tweets is at 5 pm.
