Blog Post #6- Social Media Analytics

As I stated in my previous blog post, when it comes to my blog's social media, I am not very active. After our class on February 16th, I decided that for the remainder of the semester I am going to engage on Twitter at least once a day. Maintaing a goal is never easy during the beginning because you have to work hard on implementing new changes into your routine, and we as humans are creatures of habits. This week, I only missed two days (17th and 21st). Here are my analytics.

It's good to see this sculpture still standing after last night's storm.

RIP Harper Lee. What a sad year 2016 has been so far for iconic figures.

I didn't stick with any particular hashtag this week. I just hash-tagged anything I thought would attract people, so I hash-tagged what I normally do, cities and states. I find hashtags to be a great way for one to grow their account, but they aren't the only way to promote your business. The other ways to attract followers is to include pictures, tag other channels, and retweet tweets from major accounts. I notice when I use a combination of all four, I get the most attention. This week I gained one follower.
