I expected to learn more about social media and the way everything works from a business perspective. How to reach followers, get them to react to your posts, and how to overall reach the target market in a way that would get our followers to share our posts to gain more followers.
What I learned was how to setup multiple accounts and keep up to date with all of them posting at peak hours of the day. I learned what it means to really engage my followers and incite valuable responses. I also found out that for my particular market Twitter would be my best avenue for reaching people.
My favorite experience in this class was probably when I had to post about the fall harvest and all of the amazing Photoshop pictures I was able to create in excitement. I loved being able to follow popular trends and put my own spin on them for my posts. Lastly, I enjoyed being freely able to take abstract concepts for video games and just apply them to the market, collaborating with some of my class mates for a larger post response.
