Reading Reflection No.2

-
21A
I chose to read “Art of Social Media” because I have always been interested in Social Media and wanted to learn more about how to expand my audience and their interactions.

1)    What was the general theme or argument of the book?
The general theme or argument of the book was to show readers how to increase social media presence and gain potential investors.
2)    How did the book, in your opinion, connect with and enhance what you are learning in ENT 3003?
The book, in my opinion, connected with ENT 3003 by talking about our position and how we want others to perceive us and deal with us from a professional standpoint and how to advertise ourselves and our products.
3)    If you had to design an exercise for this class, based on the book you read, what would that exercise involve?
Based on the book I read, the exercise I would design for this class is to post about their inventions on twitter and try to gain traction knowing information from both the class and the book.
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?

I think the biggest “aha” moment for me from this book was when I found out how many steps it takes to take care of a social media account, I didn’t realize how much planning and work goes into it.

    Deborah,
    While I do appreciate your point for the fifth question, I think that you could have added some more detail to it. If social media is such an important thing for you personally to learn, I think that I would want to learn something about it, too. However, it seems that some of your points are lacking the wisdom that you gleaned from the book, and the wisdom that you would hopefully be trying to transfer to the reader.
    I do not mean to say that I do not think you read the book, but rather, I do not think you put as much effort into this post as you could have. Sadly, I really thought this book would be interesting, but chose another book instead. For that reason, I particularly wanted to hear more about it, and I do not think your post really offered much of the book.
    Respectfully, Maeghan Solanki

    Hey Deborah,
    In todays world, no matter how hard one tries to avoid it, you can't deny that social media is a huge commitment and necessity for any incoming start-up business. For myself, I am constantly using social media to gain recognition and customers for my commercial fishing and charter business. In fact, most of my connections within that business have been formed through many interactions on Facebook and Instagram. There is tons of planning and work that goes into running and maintaining an account.

Forming An Opportunity Belief

4A Beginning Point: After revisiting my big list, I think an opportunity exists to fix drying machines. Sometimes, when I run the dryer, I forget to clean the lint out of the dryer, which causes my clothes to be somewhat damp after the dryer buzzes. This causes me to rerun the dryer, which raises utility expenses at my apartment. The unmet need for this problem would be for the dryer to indicate whether or not the lint has been cleaned. Everyone with a dryer would most likely have this need. This need has always existed, and always bugged me. The opportunity probably exists for 80% of people who own or even use dryers. Prototypical customer: The prototypical customer would be anyone who owns or even uses a drying machine. The target audience ranges anywhere from teens and young adults to adults.  Interviewee 1 (prototypical customer): I spoke to a male senior here at the University of Florida while at Library West.  ·        H...

Your Exit Strategy

-
28A I think I plan to stay with my business until I am either comfortable financially, or ready to retire, whichever one comes first. I have selected this exit strategy because my grandparents are entrepreneurs and I am following in their footsteps. My grandparents own a chain of condos. They ran it until they were ready to retire, and they have made it into a family business because now my aunts and uncles run it and it will go to my cousins and I one day. I think this exit strategy has influenced the other decisions I have made by leading me to another contact in this industry, I know my grandparents work with a laundry company to get discounts on their bulk purchases for the condos and houses they rent out. This exit strategy has helped me realize and remember their connections that I can use as another opportunity.

Celebrating Failure

-
26A For New Year’s this year, I made a resolution to reach out to my friends and family more. I am normally really busy and I tend to forget to update/get updates from my loved ones. My resolution consisted of calling or face-timing my friends and family at least once a month, or bimonthly. I managed to keep my resolution up for the first month, I called one person a day and made sure to text my parents every night. Slowly, I noticed myself stop calling my loved ones, but I still wanted to catch up with them so I would send an occasional text or interact with them on social media. I guess you could say I failed at keeping up this resolution because I haven’t called any of my loved ones for a while since school has gotten more stressful. However, during this pandemic I’ve made more time to reach out to my friends and family, making sure they are ok and catching up with them. I learned that life can get busy, but you should always make time for the ones you love and make sure that t...
