Social Media Marketing Workshop

 

First of all, I would like to say thank you to Dr. Aggie. Thank you for letting me join the wonderful workshop. It was a great opportunity to learn from actual experts of social media.

To be honest, at first, I participated in that event simply because it was mandatory to join. I was like “I don’t want to be stuck such a long time”. However, my mind completely changed after the workshop. How interesting it was! Now I will write what I learned below.

I joined a lecture of Podcast at a session block 1. What is the number 1 skill required for a successful Podcast? The answer is that having a passion for the topic and keeping posting. 90 percent of Podcasters quit before episode 3. Nothing happens if you quit recording and posting. Something good might happen if you try to take action. This goes for everything, not just Podcast. The speaker’s word made me motivated to moving into action.

Another lecture that I liked was “How to use a small budget to make a big impact”. As we learned in the class before, social media is one of the cheapest advertisements. Thus, you can affect the target a lot even the budget is limited. To begin with, of course, you have to set an ultimate goal. Then, you will outline your sales funnel and pick your best frame. After that, you will choose one platform because this is the situation with the small budget. You have to decide who you need to reach later, but this is basically the hardest part. Finally, you have to focus on quality creative. I learned we had right steps to make dreams come true.

For live-tweet assignment, it was fun. I rarely tweet, so it was kind of new to me. I felt it was so easy to post and do other things such as retweeting or replying.

As I wrote above, I learned a lot. Actually, I wanted to listen more presentations. Hopefully this experience would help my future study.

Chapter3

       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...
