Reading Reflection No. 3

1. The general theme of the book was, in order to gain a large social media following, start treating your social media account like a business rather than a hobby that you do to just pass time. It also touched on how it is important to create content that other people want to see, and that it isn't all about what you want to share. Obviously you are supposed to create content that you enjoy and that you want to share, but it isn't about writing rants on different topics that no one cares about.
2. One big thing that this book connected with this class on is the idea of getting more people knowledgable about your product or your brand. In this class we create a venture based on an opportunity that we see in the market. Since social media is such a large part of our everyday life, knowing how to effectively promote your brand through social media is important if you want your business to grow.
3. An exercise that I would design for this class based on this book would be a mock social media post. In this assignment, the student would create an account, and write all the details about their account such as a username, profile pic, and bio. They would then create a mock up of a  post that they would make on social media.
4. The biggest surprise to me was that you shouldn't try to create too many social media accounts because you will get quickly overwhelmed and won't put enough time into each of them. This surprised me because I assumed the more accounts that you have, the larger the audience that you could attract.
