Social Media Marketing class

Social Media Marketing This fall, I have been taking a Marketing course at my University that bases itself purely on the Social Media aspect of marketing. Social Media is without doubt very important for marketers these days and it is always good to stay up to date with technology. As the world we live in gets more and more advanced, we must evolve and learn about how it works and how we can make it work to our advantage. Many older people in our society do not know how to use Social Media, so knowing how to use Social Media will really help us earn jobs over the somewhat older people in the work force. Just this summer I had to help my Aunt with her law practice FaceBook page because she was not very familiar with FaceBook. This puts me ahead of the game. Before entering my Social Media Marketing class this fall term, I was very good with FaceBook, Instagram, SnapChat, and YouTube, but I did not know a lot about all of the other popular Social Media sites including Twitter, Google plus, Klout, and LinkedIn. I have learned how to use all of these sites now and I am sure that that will help me in the future when I will have to market my business using these social Media sites. I know no one enjoys class, but who wouldn't enjoy going to class every day and playing on Social Media sites? We do that on our own during other classes. So for me, it didn't feel like a class so much as a fun way to learn how to use interesting features that the world provides us with today. Carter Rouleau
