Week 8 Part 2


As a photographer it definitely helps to use a social media with visual support, that way you can show your photography for people to see and get more reach and audience. Instagram and Facebook are definitely the best for showing visual support as far as photography goes but also that way you can also get clients to contact you through them as well. I believe visual support in all social media is very important that way it catches the reader or the audience's eye and attention. The best photography and photographer’s pages or the ones with the most viewers and followers upload content daily and generally multiple times a day to catch the eye of the audience and to make themselves more prevalent online or on that platform. They use it in a way to get their name out there and by posting content regularly and often they gain more of a presence on that forum and that way people see their content more than others. A lot of the most famous photographers use multiple forms of social media so they can reach more people. Their biggest presence is usually Instagram and Facebook because those are the best and easiest to use due to the template that they use and because of the number of users they have. To me it seems like everyone has more followers than they get likes on their post. They have a lot of likes on each post but they have in the thousands of followers. Every post that they make received several comments and some popular photographers will comment on them back and some of them do not. To me it seems the best way to improve or increase your audience is to communicate more with them because the pages that comment back on comments they receive tend to have more likes and comments and some have more followers. 

The pages that I looked at were Art Wolfe and he has 566 posts, 75.4 thousand followers, and he's only following 1411 pages. He tends to get less than 10,000 likes on each post, he tends to only have a small number of hashtags and gets generally less than one hundred comments. I also looked at Sean Parker photography and he has 1424 posts, has 94.9 thousand followers, and he's following 988 people. He usually gets 3000 to 10000 likes and 20 to 100 comments on each post. I also looked at Daniel Taipale and he has 1763 post, 202 thousand followers, and he's following 262 people. He tends to get over 10000 likes and 100 to 300 comments on each post. Another I looked at was Jaclyn Tanemura and she has 278 posts, 26.8 thousand followers, and she's following 365 people. She tends to get less than 150 comments but she also comments back on a lot of The comments she gets from people which I feel engages and welcomes her viewers.

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. Newsletters can be somewhat annoying though because sometimes there isn't important information on them and they just get thrown away. I believe that whatever your intent or goal is with the newsletter, it needs to be direct and concise and also get the attention of the person that's receiving it and make them have a reason to hold on to it. 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

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

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.
