Semester Reflection

At the beginning of the semester I honestly thought that I knew everything there was to know about social media. I thought this class would be easy and that it wouldn't require a lot of work. I didn't think that I had much to learn about social media in general. I am glad that I took this class because I ended up learning more than I thought I would.

I expected to learn about what content to post on different social media platforms. I also expected to learn how to gain more followers on social media. I also expected to learn about social media sites that I was not familiar with such as Twitter.

Throughout the semester I learned what content to post on different social media platforms and how often to post. I also learned specifics for my industry on what time of day and what days to post. I learned how to use Twitter, which I previously had no experience with. I also learned how to try and target my content towards my target market to get more followers and post engagements.

My favorite experience in this class was my weekly blog posts. I started to dread my weekly Facebook and Twitter Posts. I never got tired of blogging and I felt like I learned a lot about how to form a blog post. I feel like the blog is something that I want to continue for myself personally and use as a social media marketing tool in my career.
