Week 17

One good semester coming to an end. It has been a long intense and at times dreadful experience, but nonetheless, an experience that I have finally gone through. Social media is always changing with various articles stating many facts that Facebook is no longer a tool for the new generation but an old relic from the past, and I believe that to a certain degree. I necessarily do not believe I will ever use facebook ever again after this class but I do truly understand the market currently on the app. For my personal real business on fanaticstudiosvideo.com, I have gotten actually some work outside this class from older customers. I have not been using social media for my business fully yet due to factors of wanting to send it fully off at the perfect time with all the right tools in place. With content lined up to be posting for months which I am currently have been in the progress of doing


Social media is always changing though, having to stay on top of what is the new, hip thing with focusing really hard on where your target market will be. My current target market is b2b, with realtors. People who are business agents in the San Diego area who is yearning for cutting edge videography to sell their property in the best, most effective way possible. Our market is slightly more difficult to capture due to the fact that it is a business to business (B2B for short) service. I will focus exclusively on real estate agents/agencies in San Diego with the primary target of higher end realtors that contain a large number of agents and a great variety of properties.


I think what I learned most from this class is that everything is a process in this life. Social media I have already known the successful strategies using the platform as a business from people like Gary V, and other amazing influencers. I had already used different media before this class as services and tools for business due to the fact of owning my own company being a videographer. This taught me the most is really to find one media to grow on first instead of spreading myself thin. Doing more research outside this classroom creators like Jessie Driftwood, Peter Mckinnion, Casey Nesistat, and Methodbox would agree. They all focused most on one area to make really good content versus multiple different platforms making okay content. Would you want to see someone with 10,000 followers on Instagram with really amazing quality content versus 100 on each platform with okay content. People buy quality, ease, and comfortability.


With that said I do believe it is wise to branch out as well when you grow on one platform. It makes the process of growth ten times easier if you have 10,000 followers on one platform to transition to another. I think starting out on Instagram is one of the easiest ones due to the fact it is the most useful media for consumers and business alike. After growing a following on Instagram some might consider Youtube to connect to a more human relateable level with their fans or followers. Other could consider twitter due to the fact of how instant connection is. The fact you can respond to 10 people in 10 minutes about issues of the service or product versus tradition call time of 10 minutes makes more ease for the customers.


Overall I have taken a lot from this class, I would wish we would focus more on the newer apps like Instagram so I could have possibly taken more from it, but I do respect the fact at remembering where the media started from. How business grew, and keep growing on this platform. The most important thing I learned from this class was giving Facebook more of a chance that I once have done in the past. Facebook does not seem like the best tool, but there is still an open market there with people from my target market that I could reach. So, in the end, I may not put a majority of my eggs in that basket, but it will never hurt to put some over there for more outreach to different clients. I enjoyed this class, and can not wait to see what all my classmates do in the future.

Week 16 part 1&2

Part 1:

This last semester I learned a lot about the different platforms, where my target market is at, what apps they use, my preferences on the various platform to use as a social media business tool. I really indulge this experience learning the endless disposal of our tool kits on social media. How we are able to view analytics, and control, where are ads, are going. I have enjoyed the most was learning more about Instagram and how it is one of the most popular apps on the market at this current moment. I learned how a majority of my target market is on this app, and that the entire Facebook process is one that I am a little excited for it to be the end. I plan to start my marketing plans this June, and July as the future continues on with market ads, highlight reels, letter campaigns, and post on Instagram. I plan to only post maybe once or twice on a consistent base for Instagram with higher quality content for my platform that should outperform competitors. My goal for this June is to be uploading one video to Youtube on my personal platform to grow a following on every Sunday at 12pm, and film/edit these videos in the week. On Friday's I would like to upload one post every other week to Instagram of a video or high-quality post about my work or progress making videos. On the other weeks that I am not posting to Instagram, I am trying to upload Podcast episodes on https://anchor.fm/matthew-dangyou to show the progress of growing a following and people trying to grow their own. All during this time, I am still doing consistent client work with realtors, and music managers to produce high-level production videos.


Part 2:
I commented on people's week 15 post because I will have zero access to the internet by the time people post week 16, and the people I commented on was; Arianna's, Elena, and Cristina

Updated: I commented on week 16 for Jason, Elena's, and Mary.

Week 15

After doing the activity, liking the pages, and indulging other Facebook business's...nothing happened to my page in analytics. I personally just do not see my target market for videography, cinematography on Facebook. Facebook is a dead social media, and will remain dying for the young generation. Everyone transitioned to Instagram, and it has been the thriving social media along side Youtube. With that said for this weeks project I got zero results, no new resolutions, and just disappointed with using a old system that just has not been working anymore for b2b business.
