Blog Entry#18

     I think having and using social media platforms is an amazing way to let people what you're promoting/business. since having an account on mostly all of the social media platforms is a normal thing now, it's easier to share things with people all over the world. It's every business owner's dream for their product/business to be known all over the world, which is something that can be a possibility now. 

  I never really got into Twitter when it first started since I was young when it first came out. Now it's still pretty popular, and I finally got an account because of this class. I find it very similar to Instagram and TikTok, but I think Twitter is more for writing than with posting photos/videos. I think using Twitter for a business could be used to give quick little updates to your customers. 

  Linked is a great way to find a job, especially for students in college or just getting out of college. It's a great way for businesses to reach people and see if they would be a good hire. You are promoting yourself to businesses telling them why they should hire you. On Linked you can put resume, job posts, people who are in the same position as you, it's kind of like making an Instagram account. 

  Using social influencers is has its ups and downs when using them to promote your product or business. It's a great way to get your product out there in the world, you have to trust this person to say nice things about your product and make sure that they sell it the right way. the downside of having a social influencer is about keeping their reputation intact, there have been so many times where social influencers have been cut out from the world for something they had said or done in the past, so you have to do a really good background check on these people. 

  When using social media or having a social influencer promote your product/business is a very tricky thing to do. It's a hard thing to do and to keep up with all of the trends that we go through like crazy. You need to be aware of what you are posting and how you are posting it, and when it comes to using social influencers you need to see how they do their jobs.
