LEARNING TO PERFECT YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA

While reading, “The Art of Social Media”, I found it was interesting that commenting on someone else’s blog post can have such a large impact.  There are so many technical aspects which go with commenting.  I found it even more intriguing that you should reply to all comments on your post even the bad ones. In, “The Art of Social Media”, it is also said you should try to stay positive even when you disagree about something.  A disagreement might be one of the most difficult things to deal with on social media because both sides have arguments as to why they believe they are right.  Like “The Art of Social Media” says, it is best to ‘agree to disagree’. 

Another topic that was interesting in, “The Art of Social Media”, is about LinkedIn.  The book says that LinkedIn is a powerful too.  I normally always write LinkedIn off as only a way to find jobs and that is about it.  I would not really consider it that much of a social media platform because of its focus towards finding a job and building your professional network.  I only created one because I needed it for my class, and I do not update my profile frequently.  After reading though I discovered that LinkedIn can be valuable because it is a professional site and many individuals are looking for jobs on it.  This makes LinkedIn a great place to find quality content.   LinkedIn also helps to filter out videos or posts that would be inappropriate because no one wants bad content connected to their professional careers.
