Week 8 - Getting Visual



The Dow of Social Visuals…

  • YouTube – 490 Million Users - Use YouTube to host the videos you embed on your site. Create a YouTube channel to extend your reach into the YouTube Community
  • Google+ – 170 Million Users - Similar to FaceBook in many ways, Google+ also includes the option to host “Hangouts” to connect with customers and clients. Make your G+ page a hub for activity for your business
  • LinkedIn – 161 Million - Connect with other professionals
  • Instagram – 80 Million (150 million per the site link provided) - Phone Ap: share your business with photographs, give a glimpse behind the scenes



 
Okay, after looking over these sites a great deal… 

Youtube:  usable.  I could make videos of my models and when I get my workstation set up again, videos of the building process.  I have many photos of the process, that I have up on my FB Papercraft page and placing more as I have time…  But video is indeed captivating…

Google +:  usable.  I like the idea of hangouts…  I must admit that all the SM that is out there is becoming overwhelming…  How do I track it all…  I am willing to bet there is something out there that will link them all together…  I will look into that…  Speaking of which…

LinkedIn:  Not usable.  This is not a professional ‘business’  I am starting out as a support/resource for Papercraft which is without doubt, a hobby J

Instagram:  usable.  My hobby is choice for the visual media.  It’s all about looks!  The devil is in the details and more details the more a Papercraft enthusiast will want to see.  However, I have to be honest here…

This is a dream business.  I am not even sure anyone will buy them yet and I have not concluded it is legal to sell the models I make, as I did not design them.  My sister, a lawyer, is looking into it but she is very busy.  However, I was recently directed to a/the-small business support center that Mira Costa hosts…  I will be looking that up right quick!
