Social Media Marketing Class - the final thought

     Going into Social Media class I expected to learn a few things about how Social Media is used for businesses and how they can get even more business. Never did I expected to learn all that I have in the class. I have learned that Social Media can be used for much more than just personal usage and that I can have control to what people see when they search for me. I must however understand the platforms and be involved in a few like:

• LinkedIn 
• has the ability to promote yourself in a completely professional aspect
• if done right, people will search for you
• can and if the time and effort is put into it will lead you to the career of your dreams  
• Google plus and the possibilities within
• all the platforms just within the google world 
• the ability to have circles, followers, organizations, and much much more
• this will perhaps be our future
• Twitter
• the platform with the least live expectancy to a post so you must make it count
• if done right, you can reach nearly all the followers you have
• great for promoting, short and sweet
• Pinterest
• one of the latest platforms that is up and coming and quickly gaining popularity
• can have followers
• can share pictures and things to do very quickly
• Youtube
• This platform it is said to be the future, people want to trust you, so, to do so they must see you
• own by google which makes google plus even better

     Coming out of the class I definitely have a different perspective on Social Media. I am totally on board with it and am willing to put the time and effort to create the person I want to be on the World Wide Web, to do so I must be active on all platforms; even if it is for timed sessions to keep on top of it. It will take time but the greatest asset of all that I have gained in this class is to take baby steps and to stick with it.
