Why choose social media class?

First of all, if you watch the global development you can realize that the world is running by social marketing. Nowadays communication or advertising work by Blog, Facebook, twitter, and other social networks.

Social Media has created its own world, it can make you famous or be hired in a company, It allows you to communicate instantly, transcend the distance, bring people together, get any kind of information over the web. It’s a single world culture.

More over Social marketing is very important in the marketing. you can have a market segment (for example) right away and start to make up your own project. It allows you to understand faster and better the market, and reach your target segment very quickly and for free.

Most of the time, I have more comments or views at the end of the week when I post on wenesday or later,I believe that people have more time during the weekend to check your blog or to do their Social Media homeworks.

The video log was not easy to do, indeed, its hard to just look the camera and not your note. Now I have the experience and I have seen the video of others I would improve my video by taking more time, add some information and speak more clearly. In a professional way.

BLOG

I will definitely keep my blog and improve it, I think it is very useful if you looking for a job to have one, it allows the employer to see what you are in an other way which can be good for you. But on the other side in very hard to keep a blog up and currently comment, post. It's a very big task

Social Media show me Facebook in a different way. How companies use Facebook to have new customer. It was very interesting to know how to reach your target segment with Facebook, and understand how advertisements works on Facebook. May be when I will have my own business I would use Facebook like a blog, in a professional way. I think it's a very good tool for marketing.

How many friends: 415How many groups: 10

3 months ago I didn't know how to use twitter and I've made a twitterchat few weeks ago. This social network is nice when you want to ask question to a group and you want some short answers. But you can also speak to a group and tweet the text of some one to make the group notice that there is a good point or something good to speak about or you're agree with. Most of the time I use Twitter with my mobile phone.

I follow: Warner bros/ Canal +/ twentieth century fox

1) This social network allows you to follow people or companies and keep in touch with their actuality. Also you can share what you do in order that person can follow you

2) I my opinion restricting letters to composing a tweet it is a weakness

Before this class I've never used Linked In, this Social Media is an interesting network, It is made for professional link and can be useful if you looking for a job or contact in a company. If you want to use it in order to build your own brand this is the social network you want to use. Indeed you can share your brand or introduce it to other people. I've opened my account one week ago, so I don't belong to a group yet. I will use it seriously soon because I think this tool can be very useful in your professional life

Closing thoughts:

a) There are many social networks these days, I use a social network for one year. His name is FANCY, this is a blog Where you can post photos of mode or artistic pictures or original ones showing pictures or objects. Objects that we see, can be bought, you can also follow bloggers or photographers. more you post more you can have some “fancy” to have reductions on products.

Closing thoughts:

b) this class brought me a lot. before I did that really use Facebook and blogs, today I know how to use Twitter, Linked in, etc…Moreover I see social networks in a professional way. What they can bring me in my future life.But I don think I'm going to use Twitter, I'm not crazy about it, if I have a business sure, I will have one, to see what people think about me and/or resolve problems. But I will not have my own account. The Social Network That I will definitely use is Linked In Which is a very good tool in your professional life

Thank you
