FINAL STATS

Hello followers this week I have been assigned to a special task, we are going to analyze all the platforms to decide which ones I will be keeping with my new business and why? The post from last week had more views than last week’s.  I will explain more about this down below. I always posted on the weekends so I can’t really tell if I will have more success if I had posted during the week. 

Blogger:

Numbers on Blogger stay almost the same, but if we analysis the pictures below we can see a big difference on the views. I think that happened because last week I focused on what my blog is going to be about and even though I didn’t have any comments, I have much more viewers because of the topic, and I used the chat room as the title names of the chat room that already exists. I really think last week’s homework was my best, and that is why I received all the views.

Vlog:

My Vlog has 13 views only and again I think that is very good for a brand new account with no followers. I think I did very good. I did a very good with the background, my outfit and holding the golf club at the end. What I will do different will be look more natural on my video by maybe use a monitor in front of me showing what I have to tell, also I will search for a better app to edit the video. I put a lot of time and effort on this short video but I enjoyed doing it. I will use it on my business for specific instructions about golf, so the follower will see different practices or golf clubs etc.   

Facebook:

I did not open a Facebook account for my business, right now I’m using my personal account.  I think it was good because not just my classmates looked at my post. As a result the popularity of my blog  increased.  In the future I will open a Facebook account for my business and share the articles on a personal blog as a compliment.

If I go by the likes I have on my Facebook post I didn’t have too many.  It was maybe one or two likes per post.  unfortunately, Facebook doesn’t show the views your post has any more,  but if we look at the stats from the bloggers 99% of the views came from Facebook. This tells me that Facebook is the platform I should be using in the future to advertise my blog

I have 358 friends on Facebook , I’m following 31 different groups on Facebook that are not related with the business , but I follow two different individual groups (chatrooms) which are  The Sand Trap and Hackers Paradise.  I have liked over 100 pages, 14 of them are related with my new business. 

My twitter account: 

Considering my account is very new and I’m analyzing post by post, as you can see on the pictures my posts did very well, they were seeing and I have one like on one of them. I do not have many followers on twitter, my classmates are the only ones. Analyzing this number, I considered using twitter more, because of the zero experience I had when I opened this account.  With the little experience I have now, I think if I put more time and effort on my twitter account can make it very popular and who knows maybe I will have a tweet from Donald Trump About golf (J/K).

All the people and companies I’m following is because of my business. I will keep using it for that purpose. The strength on my twitter will be I’m a new on it and I had good results and views, so I will put more effort on it and make it a success. My weakness is a lack of followers which will change with time.  

LinkedIn

I have been using My LinkedIn account for the last 6 months because I was looking for a new job. I’m not really sure if  I want to use it for my business. I think LinkedIn is like an online resume that didn’t really work for me when I was looking for a job. It looked good on my resume that I have but it didn’t really   help me in my job search. I also tried to join different groups related with my new business but they were all private.  I requested to be part of a few groups and only one accepted me a week later, so I don’t think I will invest time opening a LinkedIn account for my business right now.

Closing thoughts: 

I think this class motivated me to make my business real. I will continue with the idea of a blog. I won’t be using Blogger because I think it’s not a friendly website.  For example, I cannot simply click on the people I am following and see what new posts they have. I need to go to the main page and check all blogs. I also I cannot just click on the people they are following and follow them among other things which makes the page unfriendly to me. I like things made simple, a click here or there  and its done.  I have been thinking of buying the domains of a name and start my own blog with different chats rooms just like the ones I’m currently following, The Sand Trap and Hackers Paradise.

I really love the  Vlog idea.  I will making videos of new product.  I will start maybe with two videos a month and see if it works .

I will be using Facebook for sure because I’m very familiar with it.  It’s easy to work with and will be Facebook:

I will definitely keep Twitter and will continue putting work into it so I can build it up, I didn’t think that many people will check my tweets because the account is still very new.

For the LinkedIn account I did not put any effort into it. My opinion is that it just seems like it’s justt an online resume .

I will be opening an Instagram account even though this this platform wasn’t included in the class. I currently have a personal Instagram account and I really like it. I think it will be very good for my new business to have one .

In conclusion, I will continue to work hard moving forward with my new business and ending every single post with……

See you next time at the 19^th hole!
