Week 10: Blogging for Business



Part 1

I feel like adding personal interest or some personality to your blog post could be beneficial depending on what business you have. For me as a photographer it's definitely a good idea and worthwhile and completely normal. In doing some research the most popular personal blog posts by professional photographers are product reviews, location ideas, tips and tricks on different forms of photography, and current news.  Being more personal in your blog gets the audience's attention and makes them feel better connected with you which in turn helps get more clients and reach a larger audience. When you are being personal or sharing your own opinion, it is a good idea to not talk political, religious or aggressive and stick to things that are associated or connected with your business and what type of business you have.

Week 11: Email Marketing - Part 1

Part 1 I definitely think depending on what business you have newsletters can always a good idea. They keep the customers and audience involved and connected to the business and in some cases can be a friendly reminder. They are a great way to give new information or inform the customers of a promotion going on or give coupons.

For me as a photographer I would plan on doing either a once a month or once every 3 months. I would probably have some sort of coupon or promotion going on and also share some new events or information that has happened in between newsletters. They would be beneficial for my business to remind the customers an

Week1A: My Template

I chose to use this template because I am a nature photographer and I feel like this was the best template that represented me. I love the blue and black colors together and feel it is a powerful dominate color pallet that shows I am a strong professional. As a nature photographer, I like the tree image in the template. The colors in the image mach the rest of the template very well. I enjoy going on hikes and photographing trees and nature. I feel by using this template my posts will be able to be easily accessible and laid out in a very clean and organized manner so that my readers can navigate my blog easily.

Week 2: Overview of Social Media My belief is every social media excluding some websites have primarily been made for personal uses but most of them have evolved to be personal, businesses, and many more uses. They are designed to help accommodate the human species in a modern and technological world. There are endless social media platforms for personal and business use including Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn,Tumbler, Pinterest, Behance, Etsy, etc. Tumbler and Pinterest seem to me like the most used for personal use. The majority of people on those forums are just posting all the things they like. I follow a lot of photographers and nerdy things on Tumbler and Pinterest and it is all just people posting what they like or want and is is rarely used to sell anything or even to promote any business.  I feel Facebook is the most useful social media platform for businesses to promote themselves. As a photographer I feel Instagram is the best social media platform to use t
