Final Post

I have had a great time in this class and I have learned a lot!  First thing I learned is that there is a lot to learn.  Second is that effective social media marketing takes time, commitment, and knowledge.  I have more to learn about effectively using the analytics and still have learned enough to use it effectively, for a beginner.

I have learned that the activity on my social media is effected by my participation in it.  If I am not active, it is not active. 

I am still amazed that one ad of $8 got me so much more activity; however, I can see that building an audience in the thousands might cost considerably more.  Still, as I understand it, the more activity you get the less the ads cost, so…  My niche is small comparatively.  I saw quotes of per click costs in the .47 range, but as I understand it, a broader market, more interest could considerably lower the cost to as little as .17…   That is a very rough guestimate.

I have been down during the fires helping friends and doing anything I can.  And with finals, I have also been down… so I am getting lots of notices asking where I am.  I will get back there as I enjoy my niche! 

Best to all affected by the fires, I think most have been in some way, even just watching is emotional.. 

Best to all!
