Marketing with X!

        In this blog, we will uncover some of the ways to efficiently market using X. It is common knowledge that X is formally known as Twitter. Similar to Instagram, it is a social media platform that users can post images and videos that other people can see. Twitter was originally founded in 2006 by Jack Dorsey with the goal of creating a messaging system similar to texting. Within a few years, the platform grew exponentially. However, Elon Musk was intrigued by the platform and wanted to own the platform himself. He did so in October 2022 and purchased Twitter for $44 billion. The change from Twitter to X was a very dramatic change and it caused a lot of confusion among users of Twitter. This caused X to completely change their brand to ensure that they kept their users.
        
        X is a marketing powerhouse and businesses understand that there are tons of monthly active users. There is a quote from the book that states, "In addition, 69% of X survey respondents have purchased from a brand after following it on X, and 79% of those followers reposted content from that brand." X users are always looking for new products to look at and purchase. Businesses that use X can easily identify and engage with their target market by connecting with influencers as well. Similar to Instagram, X offers the ability for businesses to develop professional accounts to further enhance their brand appearance and see what kinds of content their target consumers are engaging in. Another thing that X introduced recently was X Blue, which is a subscription that adds a blue verification checkmark next to a profile. Having the blue checkmark will unlock numerous different options that profiles can take advantage of. On the other side, similar to the blue checkmark, businesses can receive a gold checkmark to earn their verification on X. When profiles and businesses have their verification checkmarks, they gain more credibility on the app with the content they post. Similar to other social media platforms, users can post pictures, videos, GIF's, and small articles. Users also have the option to post up to four pictures in the same post and it is proven that posts with pictures earn more engagements. Overall, the main purpose of X in a business perspective is to connect with people, and reach their target audience easily. I think that X will continue to grow in monthly users and the amount of content posted per day.

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
