After looking on Instagram, one thing that I noticed on some local business pages is that they make use of Instagram to promote their products or any services they offer. They include pictures that take potential customers through the process on how things are made or show the end result of their product. One aspect that I found interesting is that some of these businesses are not only using Instagram for their business but they were also using it for personal use. When promoting a business on a personal page, it can help bring more customers in because it helps potential customer's know that you are a real person and not just a person hiding behind a screen. As a customer at times myself when I see a businesses promoting themselves my thoughts are that of course they are going to be promoting themselves because they have that bias. By a business using their Instagram to promote personally and professionally you are helping create more views to your page because you are adding that element of humanity behind the screen.

  Week 3 Part A: Aesthetics, Design, and Branding A good website is critical for a businesses success, in this assignment we were asked to give feedback regarding 4 different websites below is my feedback. Jami Lin's Passions The first website that I looked at was  Jami Lin's Passions , upon first glance we are met with an extremely confusing website. We have no idea what this website is selling and the homepage is over filled with clutter. The amount of clutter is overwhelming, it appears this website for for anti aging cream but it also has tabs for interior design and fend shui. This website gives no indication that it is professionally done as it appears that the person that made the page tried to cram as much information into the homepage as they were able to. There is a sense of irony that the page advertises interior design and has such a flawed home page, to make the site better the first thing that needs to be done is to focus on what they are trying to promote. If the

  Week 16: Social Media Management Tools After reading through all of the awesome tools in the article we were given I still do not think that using these types of tools for my business is for me. Breeding and caring for the amount of animals that we have and also for potential future babies is something that I need to take into account financially. Until we have successfully hatched babies and seen the profit that we are able to get for them I am uncomfortable bringing in additional costs that we may be unable to afford. But if I was to use one of the tools it would have to be SocialPilot as it has everything that I could possibly need for my social media accounts and I like the fact that you are able to have up to 3 users. While my husband will not be doing any posting on our social media accounts it's nice that he would at least have the option with this service. We also do not need all of the bells and whistles from a more expensive service so it's nice that there is someth

  Week 1A: My Template and Week1B:Blogs I Commented On After careful searching throughout the available theme's I noticed that almost all were aimed at a cheery and colorful side. The color schematics were not as appealing as this dark forest theme as I have always gone a different way in my life gravitating towards darker colors. When I saw this theme aside from the fact that the colors drew me in the first thing that I think of while looking at this image is Halloween which has always been my favorite holiday.  Social media as a whole has come along with in such a short amount of time, while I was in High School the only platform that was available was Myspace and now we have several different platforms to use to connect with others. A good business has some involvement with social media sometimes in several different platforms aimed at targeting a larger potential client base than if they were just using one platform.  When using social media for personal use the first platform
