By: Wesley Tedlock Digital Marketing: Blogging!

What’s the big deal about Blogs? Have an impact on different brands It’s a way to get your thoughts across to the world Free tool! It’s great for driving traffic to your website It develops better customer relationships YOU create the content which is relevant to your customers Use keywords to draw people from search engines Puts things into perspective Let’s you improve your work and gives an image of what you’re about

My blog! My blog is located here Things I included -All my posts had to do with Social Media and Digital Marketing -Mixture between lessons we learned in class, topics I have learned through the text book, things I have learned through guest speakers, and re-blogged posts from other students Included colorful pictures on each post to relate to the subject Used different customization including different font types, and colors Included links to PowerPoint presentations and video links

Learning Lessons? I learned a great deal while putting a blog together You can customize your site any way you want to Blogging is completely free You can add any type of media that you want to! It’s a great way for your future employers to look at what your work ethic looks like It’s a good way to show your social profile I didn’t know that you could track every person that goes to your site and where they are located

What to do Differently? I would spread out the posts instead of posting many per day People are interested in seeing things day by day, not all in the same day See how far I could stretch the customization and learn more about it Post my blog link on social media websites such as Facebook and Twitter Include my own pictures that I have created instead of pulling images from Google Create more content relevant to my age group such as more posts on sports or music

Top Blogs My top blog post was an information blog post about the social media site YouTube It only had 6 views and 2 re-blogs from classmates Most views because it was only the second post and because it had a lot of cool information about the site Due to the amount of few views, most if not all my visitors were students in my class Reason: I did not market the blog on my social media sites 20 posts, 44 views, 16 visitors 11 best views ever (July 28 th )

Great things that I Learned People don’t fully understand social media marketing! Different Generations are reached through different things such as newspapers, magazines, social media sites Marketing Automation is a must have for companies
