Chapter 8

 

I am not a Pinterest user and I have used it only a few times. That is why everything from this chapter was new to me and I learned a lot.

First of all, I was very surprised at the distribution of users worldwide by gender. 76.7 percent of the users are female! I thought the portion of men and women was almost same because I treated Pinterest as one of the most famous social media platforms in the U.S.

Because there are a lot of users especially in the U.S, you can find the information basically whatever you want. One of my friends advised me to use Pinterest to find good image. Based on that advice, I have tried to search a best hairstyle. Thanks to the great photo of Pinterest, I was able to change my hair style a lot in Las Vegas during the spring break. For that reason, now I like Pinterest.

In terms of business tactics, I found nothing special compared to other social media. You had better to choose hashtags, make the description briefly and select good pictures for posting. I thought you should focus on women more than men due to the distribution.

    Not only was I not aware of the ratio from men to women, Pinterest was never a platform I considered being that well known!

    Pinterest has alway been a pretty confusing platform for me personally, I guess because I don't use it super often. I think it's a great resource for reference images for things like art, hairstyles, etc. I've also found some great recipes on there! But Pinterest also has a huge problem with distributing copyrighted images and other people's intellectual property without their knowledge/consent. I think it has potential to be a great service, I'd just be interested to see if there's a better way to regulate it.

       I learned that social media marketing spending in the US is increasing year by year. And it’s growing at a very brisk pace, averaging about 10 percentage per year. I was surprised that the cost on social media advertising is much lower than that of other ads. While direct mail advertising costs 57 dollars per thousand, that of social media does only 2.5 dollars. Now I agree why we are always exposed to many ads when using a smartphone and a laptop. In addition to this, the number of people using electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, desktops and the user of social media including Instagram, twitter and so on has been gaining. For me, for instance, I often spend a lot of time on such kinds of social media like YouTube, Snapchat and etc. And I sometimes feel like “I wanna buy this product!” For this reason, advertising on social media plays a great role.

Chapter 11

  Speaking of social media which provide you with shot videos, most people would imagine TikTok. I think the popularity of TikTok enabled another social media to introduce short videos. However, TikTok is still one of the most popular media for short videos all over the world. I do not watch TikTok recently, but I used to get into TikTok when I was a high school student. It is a good tool because they showed me videos based on my preference. Also, I barely get bored of watching videos because every video is short. Another thing that I like about TikTok is we can know the trends. It can be music, fashion, worldwide and so on. Because lots of celebrities use TikTok, they have a lot of power for trends as influencers. After reading the textbook, I got surprised the distribution of TikTok users in the United States. I thought most of the user were teenagers, and young adults could be 2nd. In reality, however, user age groups were scattered. We have over 20 percent of distributors f...

Chapter1 of the textbook

I have my doubts about the statement that 67% of the world’s population uses mobile devices. I felt doubtful because this percentage was very high. There are a lot of children and older people all over the world. Basically, I think too young people and too old people tend not to use their phone. In addition to this, there are many poor people including those who live below the poverty line. Given these two things, I would like to say that the actual percentage should be lower than the statement in the textbook. That statement might exclude such kinds of people though. By the way, I looked at the screen time of my smartphone. I spent 6 hours for the use of phone on daily average last week. While the average worldwide is 2 hours and 29 min, mine was 3 hours 5 min per day. I often tend to spend more time on social media such as Instagram, Twitter, TikTok and so on. Sometimes it helps me get information from around me to worldwide. However, I usually watch TikTok or reels on Instagram la...
