21A – Reading Reflection No. 2
The book I chose to read was The Art of Social Media: Power Tips for Power Users, Guy Kawasaki
In the book I learned a lot of key tips, ideas, and overall understanding of what to me seems to be a crucial thing to know in 2018.

- The book went over the huge importance of social media in the time we live in and just how much it can really help you if you have a great understanding of it. Marketing through social media takes a huge role in the overall idea of the book and how moving forward marketers must understand how to work social media. IT also goes over how in our day and age social media pages serve as a second resume to employers, as your facebook, twitter, linkedin, and instagram account will show them who you truly are.
- The book connects and enhances with the overall general idea of ENT 3003 with being innovative and constantly adjusting to changes. Many companies today are going out of business because they have failed to adapt to the changes in society. Social media being on the biggest changes means that as a marketer, employee, or business you must adapt to understanding exactly how important social media is and how to use it!
- The exercise I would design would include creating social media profiles on Facebook, linked, and Instagram. The excersice would require you post enticing content and a professional page that you would want perspective employers or customers to see about you or your business. The excersice would involve demonstrating knowingness of how to work social media and how to use it to your benefit.
- The only way to destroy what is posted about you online is to destroy all of the servers of the companies, which is pretty much impossible. This standing to be very careful of every single thing that you post to your name on the internet.

ReplyDeleteHi Michael,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your post. I think you did a great job of responding to the different questions. I totally agree with the book concerning the increasing importance of social media and how it serves a variety of purposes to a variety of consumers, from direct consumers to HR departments from big companies. In the same way, I also agree with the connection you made with the curriculum. Indeed as explained in class, only the businesses that adapt and are flexible are the ones to survive, adapting and starting to utilize social media also relates to this. Great Job.
Hi Michael,
ReplyDeleteThe description of the book you read was interesting. Social media does play a major role currently in the business realm. I agree that to be a successful company or an entrepreneur one must be able to use social media. The exercise you have created ensures that students would learn how to use social media to promote a business. From a young age I have been forewarned to be careful with what one post on social media. The fact that you have stated that about the only way to destroy something you have posted online is to destroy all the servers of the companies supports the statement that one has to be careful what one post online.
