Social Networking

I agree with Mark about using these different forms of social networking to make your blog more visible to the public. When you are blogging it’s very important to make sure that you write on a topic that will catch the audience’s attention.  You do not want to write such a long blog that you come across as boring. In this article the author states five ways to promote you blog posts. The first step is to make sure to remember that the smaller social networks can gain attention to your blog. The author says it’s important to use the smaller sites as well as the larger one for promoting your blog. Step number two is to make sure you unleash your creativity. When you write make sure that the material you talk about grabs the attention of your audience. Sometimes you can do this by just simply adding a short simple video about your topic. The third step is to keep it small and not write a whole lot of information that causes the reader to lose interest. Step number four is to make sure that you Pin them, bookmark them or Instagram them. When you use these methods it gains you more attention and when you’re blogging you want to make sure that you use every possible source to gain your post popularity. In step number five the author says to use your own personal brand to promote posts.
This author lists the best times and days to use social media. When you look at this blog it contains a detailed list of the days and the time of days that are better for you to use social networking.

The effects of social media have made a big difference in my life. Social media gives me the opportunity to connect with family and friends that I don’t get to see very often. Social media is also a good way to communicate with parents of the students who are in Sunday School at the church. Social networking is become a great way to reach out to a lot of people really quickly. It can be a huge time saver when you have a very busy schedule. Social networking has also provided me an easy way to check the local news and keep up with the weather which is very important.

  2. Social media definitely influences everyone today. Even on the news I see them gathering feedback from twitter hash tags. It is a quick way to keep up with your interests and important information that is going on in the fast paced world around us.
