YouTube Social Media Marketing

     YouTube is an efficient way to promote a brand or a product. There are plenty of reasons to back up that claim within the book. Visual content is becoming more prevalent throughout the world. YouTube is easier to relay messages to consumers who like visual marketing rather than imagery. Nowadays, consumers would much rather watch a video advertisement than look at an advertisement on a flyer. I feel that companies should take advantage of this opportunity. Companies should look into branching out their social media platforms to more video based advertising because they can reach a broader target market as well. In the book "Essentials of Social Media Marketing", chapter 3 section 7 says that YouTube is the ideal platform for industries. There are plenty of other social media platforms that don't have the same advertising effect as YouTube. 

    With YouTube having high user traffic, there is always increasing opportunity for companies to advertise to new people. More users will allow companies to reach more specific demographics. There are multiple ways to advertise products or brands on YouTube. For example, the company can post from their own brand YouTube channel or they can place an advertisement in a completely different YouTube channel. YouTube is very good with running advertisements through videos because there are tons of people using the app each day to look for new brands, products, and video content. Companies need to pay attention to their social media distribution strategy. This strategy according to the book says this strategy determines how much and how fast the content is being shared to the public. The social media content strategy goes hand in hand with the distribution strategy because this strategy takes care of the planning and organizing of the content being posted. Companies can become more versatile and build a better consumer base when they can market different products and continuously put out trendy content that consumers will find interesting. 

    Overall, YouTube is a very reliable social media marketing platform that many companies should adopt for the future. Millions of people use YouTube each day and stumble across multiple different advertisements. Companies can use YouTube wide user community to build a better target market and analyze specific demographics.

Inching Closer to Exams!

     Only a few weeks left. We are almost there! I know that everyone on campus is not looking forward to their exams in the next few weeks but just know that we are this close to winter break! As I approach dead week, it's important that I am taking in all of the information in class to give myself the best chance of getting a good grade on the exam. Dead week is nice considering we get a lot of time to prepare for our exams. It allows me to take a deep breath and recap everything that I have learned over the course of the semester. Procrastination is something that I deal with and I feel everyone on campus deals with in some form. Although it is normal to procrastinate sometimes, exams are not a time to put off studying in the last minute. I have procrastinated on assignments and exams in the past and I can say from experience that I did not do so hot on those exams. The exam period is grueling for everybody, regardless of how many exams you have that week. I myself have three ex

The Future is Bright for ONU Men's Soccer!

     As the fall season comes to an end, there is much to takeaway. Even though losing in the Sweet 16 was not how we wanted our season to end, we were able to accomplish many feats that were not in our favor. For example, we able to end the season regionally ranked #3, we won our first OAC tournament title since 2015, and we were able to travel to unknown territory and defeat the #1 team in the nation. Although we started the season nationally ranked #13 and had aspirations of winning a national championship, it was important that remained steadfast and take it one game at a time. This season was a roller coaster, full of highlight and full of lowlights. However, we were able to conquer those weaknesses by trusting each other on the field to do their job. Our coach always said throughout the season, "Know your role." What he meant by that was to master the thing that you offer to the team and trust that the other players have mastered their role to come together and perform

     It's time for the post-season. The Polar Bears are headed into the NCAA tournament after defeating Otterbein in the OAC tournament to earn an automatic bid. The team is flowing with confidence heading into the first round as they try to continue to keep their winning streak alive. The Polar Bears are playing some of their best soccer at the moment and the team is flowing with confidence all over the field. The selection show for the tournament took place on Monday where we would finally find who we played against for the first round. The team all gathered in the locker room where the selection show was being streamed. Everybody was energetic and anxious to see our school show up on the bracket. We waited for about 20 minutes before we saw our name and the team we were playing against. We saw our opponent and instantly knew it was going to be a tough match-up. The Hornets of Lynchburg University located in Lynchburg, Virginia are the hosts and our first round match-up. The othe
