Build that Audience

 This week, the chapter was over how to market with Facebook. Facebook is a social media platform that is one of the most used social media platforms to date. There are many tips talked about in the chapter to market using Facebook, but what we haven't talked about in class yet is building an audience. 

Building an audience is crucial to succeeding on the app Facebook. To maximize your business or whatever else you are working with it is important to tailor your content to a specific audience you are trying to reach. However, first, you must begin to make friends on Facebook. You must start small and contact some of the people that you know and then start broadening your horizons to people you are trying to connect with. 


I know whenever I go on social media and start following people I start to try to connect and become online friends with people in my own field. This could be people that are currently in the sport management/public relations field. This could also be alumni of the university that went through the program. It could also be professionals in the field that you are interested in. If you connect with those people and begin to form a relationship with those people that could help you in the future down the road. What can also help is that when followers of this professional see that the professional is following you then their followers will start to connect with you and could broaden your brand and make it better.

Building and marketing your brand on Facebook is easier than it is set it out to be. In my opinion, starting with building your audience is crucial. Once you have a good following and start to connect with more people then it will be easier for when you do post content, the content will be seen by so many more people than if you didn't already establish a good audience.

Chapter 1 Material

One of the biggest concepts I comprehended out of the content in chapter one of the introduction of social media is the different advantages and disadvantages of social media. I want to focus on the advantages. Some of the advantages of social media include being able to build your brand, communicating with family and friends, and capturing memories. The most important advantage from the chapter for me is being able to connect with family and friends while also collecting memories along the way. Family and friends are two of the biggest components of my life and they always will be. Being away from my family and friends during college can be very stressful. I am very guilty of relying on my mom and dad to do many things for me. Even though I am a sophomore now, I still am trying to adapt and settle in to do things on my own. Even though I struggle at times, the access to social media has given me the opportunity to connect with my family and friends so I feel like I have a little bit o...

PRSSA Meeting

 For one of my school assignments, we had to attend an event this week around campus with homecoming. Due to my busy schedule this weekend I chose to attend the PRSSA meeting Thursday night. There were some other events to pick from but with my schedule being very busy this was the only event that I could get to go to. In addition to just attending, we also had to live-tweet this event giving updates with key takeaways from the event. This isn't the most orthodox assignment for a class that I get to do, but it was actually pretty interesting. This PRSSA meeting was all about ethics. September is Ethics Month in this organization so it was only fitting that our meeting would be over ethics and how it ties into public relations. For this event, they brought in a couple of guest speakers. These guest speakers were Ronele Dotson and Jo Ann LeSage Nelson. They talked about different types of crises and walked us through different case studies with what they had to deal with. What I like...

Thanksgiving Break

 Right about this time in the semester I really fellow students and I really start to get warn out of school. Schoolwork right around this time always heats up. Many of my classes are holding exams this week which puts on added stress with all of my other activities going on. What I really want and what my of my classmates want to come sooner is Thanksgiving Break. I know I am ready for it. Every day I wake up I am exhausted because I was up late doing homework the night before. I am also on football so the time where I could be doing homework and catching up on some sleep, I am at football and devote my time to that. Even though many students are not in athletics I can tell many of them are mentally drained. Many students are starting to not give sufficient effort to homework or exams anymore because they are just tired of it. I know I fall right into that category. These are a couple reasons why I am ready for Thanksgiving break. Having the opportunity to go home for a week and b...
