1. This book is about explaining how to use social media to your advantage. It gives advice on how to start and manage different social media platforms for the most success. It also gives tips and describes how to run social media accounts in the most effective ways to experience the advantages it can have for a business. This book shows how important social media can be in business, especially today. A good or bad social media account can make or break a business, so this book is meant to help positively.
2. This book connects in many ways with what we are learning in this class. Since we are creating business plans and learning how to create a business, the information in this book is relevant. Social media can have a huge impact for a business, especially in the beginning. Social media is the way most younger people hear about businesses or products. It is a way to get your product or service out there and well known, which increases business. We have learned how to give an elevator pitch, and I think how we present a business on social media ties into that same idea.
3. Since this book talks about how to use social media, I think a good exercise for this class would be to find a business' social media account that appeals to you. If we notice why that particular social media account appeals to us, we can apply that information to our own understanding of business. I think having to find one or several appealing social media accounts could provide good examples for how business can be use social media.
4. Something I learned from this book was how to create the best profile possible and gain more followers. I think these are really important aspects of growing a social media account and therefore a business. I thought the tips mentioned in this book regarding how to save time and money but still have a good social media presence were very applicable to this class.
