Thank you to everyone who read and commented on my blog for its duration! For my last post, I’m going to answer some questions about my blog. I’m writing this as a page instead of a typical post because I think it’s more important for readers to see my opinions on my blog as it comes to an end.
What would you want to improve or include within your site?
I think my site could have been improved if there was a way I could have made each post more customized with different colors and fonts.
How could you have better promoted your content?
I was originally dreading posting blog updates on Twitter because I never tweet anything and I was scared of what people would think. As my blog progressed, I became more comfortable posting and began to write more right hook/attention grabbing captions. If I had been writing better captions since the beginning of the semester and included more hashtags, my content would have been promoted better and could have reached a more expansive audience.
What was your best experience of the semester-long project?
My best experience of the blog project was realizing that I had the ability to write different posts on a centralized topic; it allowed me to think creatively. Being able to write without a strict rubric like in an english class allowed me to improve my writing without feeling forced. I also really enjoyed reviewing a more prominent blog.
In what ways could the experience benefit you in the future?
I know the Public Relations major requires a plethora of writing oriented classes, so I am glad I was able to improve my writing now. My future job will (hopefully) revolve around or at least include writing as well.
Discuss how you might implement these tools professionally in the future.
Like we discussed in class, including a blog in my resume can make me stand out in comparison to others. Promoting my blog on social media also taught me about the importance of a company’s connection to social media.
My most popular blog post was “Major Decisions”. It brought in 30 views. I think it was the most popular because it was generalized and a lot of people have qualms about their major. Consequently, my most popular week was the one that included the post, March 16-March 22. I received 38 total views from 14 different visitors.
While viewing my Site Stats, I was surprised at the amount of people that had interacted with my blog in comparison to the amount of people that interacted with my promotional tweet. I wish there was a way I could see who is reading my posts because I’m curious to know why they are they are reading them and what they think. So, thank you to everyone who has read my posts, but who are you?
My most interacted with tweet was one of my more recent promotions. It had 79 total engagements, but the post only had about twelve views. Finally, I wanted to include a link to a more established blog that has posts similar to mine. http://www.mycollegeadvice.org/
I want to end my last blog post by once again thanking everyone who interacted with my blog via WordPress or Twitter. I hope you guys enjoyed my content!! 🙂
