Types of Writing Styles for Social Media


In my textbook that I am reading for my social media class, it talks a lot about your brand voice and writing style. There are so many different types of writing styles for social media.

The first is a professional writing style. Brands that use this style treat social media like other traditional communication channels. There is normally clear information for the audience and an opportunity for them to interact.

The second style is snarky and spunky. These brands want their consumers to see their attitude in the messages that they post. They are more likely to reach out and reply to customers and their messages are generally more informal

The third style is product and brand focused. Brand that use this approach are more focused on portraying messages that help their bottom line.

The fourth writing style used on social media is audience focused. These brands use story telling to convey a message to their audience. These brands are looking for the best way to reach their audience.

The fifth writing style is inspirational. This is probably self-explanatory. Brands that use this writing style are looking to enhance and idea or feeling while promoting their product or service.

Witty is the sixth writing style. This type of writing style is used when the company wants to include humor or cleverness in their brand messages.

The seventh writing style, educational, is used for brands that are looking to educate their audience. Brands that use this style often have tutorials, resources and articles that they publish.

The eighth and final writing style is personality focused. These brands often are looking to make themselves more human. They have personality focused accounts and can be viewed by their audience is a variety of ways, both good and bad.

Which style of writing does your favorite brand use?

Using Social Media to Find Gluten Free Recipes

Being gluten free can be difficult as it is, so why struggle to find things to make or eat. One of the most challenging things about being gluten free is finding a place to go out to eat at. Therefore, I often decide to stay in and make my own meal. Luckily, there are so many gluten free baking blogs and accounts on Instagram and other site, that it makes making your own meal so much easier. The thing about baking gluten free is that gluten free flour does not have the same elasticity as flour with gluten. When you look at a gluten free recipe you will likely see Xanthium Gum or other additives that create the elasticity, so your bread does not crumble as easily. Recently, companies have started to make gluten free flour that you can replace regular flour with one-to-one. This make a world of difference when you are converting a recipe to gluten free. I follow quite a few gluten free baking accounts on social media. Below I have compiled a list of my favorite accounts to find g

ALUMNI BASKETBALL GAME AT BUCKEYE CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL

On Feb. 24 th , I live-tweeted the boys alumni basketball game. There were two teams playing. Since the players only play for fun, they do not have actual team names. Instead they wore red and white shirts to distinguish themselves. I referred to the teams based on their shirt color throughout my tweets. The game was held at Buckeye Central High School in their gym.   It was a close game for most of the game, with lots of back-and-forth. The final score was 86 to 82, with the red team coming out on top! Both teams did an excellent job and had a great game! Congratulations to the Red Team!

TRAINING TO RUN A 5K

Running use to be something I always enjoyed doing. I was in cross-country, track, and always liked the conditioning part of basketball. Even after I was out of sports, I continued to run consistently up until last year. I am not sure why I stopped running I just ended up not running anymore. So, since my classes are all online now, I have no more excuses to not run. In order to keep motivated, I am running with my sister Paige and we set a goal that we want to complete a 5K without walking. Since we do not know when the next 5K will be because of COVID-19, we decided we would have our own 5K on May 1 st . We are training five days a week, Monday through Friday. We also made challenges for different days of the week, so we continue to challenge ourselves. One of our challenges is that we run as far as we can in one direction without walking. Then we are forced to either walk or run all the way back. This is something my coach use to do when I was in cross country, so that we
