I have fallen in love with blogging, giving advice, and making podcasts for the world wide web audience! It has been a great experience and has helped me find my passion. In the beginning of the year, I had absolutely no idea what it was that I wanted to major in. Now, I have come to a solid decision: School of Mass Communication and Journalism. Yay!
I have to say, although there were many perks in blogging and sharing on social media, I still had (and have) difficulty cultivating an audience and a fan base. I followed as many people as I could think of, in hopes that they would follow me back, but usually didn’t. I also used plenty of hashtags and only ever received about 5 responses per 3 posts. Kind of disappointing, but I suppose that over time, a fan base will grow.
I will certainly continue to make podcasts, blog posts, YouTube videos, and Tweet. Doing so will help create a portfolio, not only for school purposes, but for future job endeavors. I’ve really enjoyed this assignment.
