Week #14 Future Strategy

     I learned a lot about social media this semester.  I would never use it for personal reasons, but now I see it is big for business and is a good opportunity to promote my business without paying an arm and a leg for advertising. 

     For my future strategy, I plan on using facebook as my number one platform.  This will allow me to reach out to a very large amount of people, and I can connect to different social media platforms as I gradually incorporate them into my business plan.  I will continue to use the blog to get the message out and try to direct people to my facebook page and website.  You tube is another platform I will dabble in because I have a video I can post of my business.   Twitter and pinterest will be another avenue I will take further down the road.

     For right now it will be facebook, blogging and youtube.  I will dedicate a day to create a schedule that will span a couple weeks at a time.  I will designate certain days on when the articles will appear on my business page.  I plan on having them post on Fridays.  I believe a lot of people will be more active on facebook during the weekends.  I will (try) to keep my presence on facebook weekly with articles, pictures and promotions.  Blogging will be done every other week.  I do not want to over saturate my blog, but I do want to stay active on it.  I plan on posting a you tube video to see what hits I can generate from that.  I will not be as active on you tube as I will be on facebook or blogging.  Twitter and pinterest will be my next venture as time goes by.  Once I begin using twitter and pinterest, I will (try) to keep a weekly schedule with these platforms.  Other social media platforms are not off the table, and I may plan to use them in the future sometime.

     Once I become familiar with the social media platforms I have choosen, then I will eventually put more time into building them up and venturing further in the world of social media.
