Reading Reflection 3

The Art of Social Media: Power Tips for Power Users, Guy Kawasaki

1) What was the general theme or argument of the book?
The general theme of this book is how to build your social media platform for your business/influence. The book shows step by steps to help you get to the place you want to be. 
2) How did the book, in your opinion, connect with and enhance what you are learning in ENT 3003?
I already have some background knowledge of how to do social media from a business standpoint, however, I enjoyed imagining how I could share my passionate non-profit through Instagram, facebook and different fundraising platforms. 
3) If you had to design an exercise for this class, based on the book you read, what would that exercise involve?
I would have the class create a facebook or instagram page for their business. There would need to be three posts talking about the mission or CSR (corporate social responsibility), goals and future plans, and how people can get involved. There would need to be hashtags and fake contact information. 
4) What was your biggest surprise or 'aha' moment when reading the book? In other words, what did you learn that differed most from your expectations?
My biggest AHA moment was learning about the different situations people can get themselves into because of their social media. Employers look at social media now and if they see something they don't like, they aren't hiring you.

  1. Hi, I really enjoyed reading about your book analysis. I did my post on the same one and found your insight very interesting. I think your exercise is super interesting and similar to the one I chose. Really good job on this.

  2. Great post and seems like an interesting read. It is interesting how social media such as Facebook shows adds based on what we like. The same thing goes for Instagram. On the other hand people can make money on social media by advertising a product. The same thing can go for YouTube. Great post!

  3. Hey Emma! Great post! I actually did this book for our last reading reflection, so it's pretty cool to see someone else's viewpoint on the book! I am happy to report that a lot of what I see in your post from reading the book, I also had in mine! Great book, and I loved following the steps to make my social media better!
