Blog Post 1 MKTG 370

 Hello Class! My name is Nico Hedgepath I live in Cary, Illinois. I have 2 more classes until I graduate after this 8-week session! I cannot wait to be done and begin my career. In my free time, I enjoy gaming, fishing, attending festivals/concerts (not going to happen for a while), and cooking! I am 22 years of age and use social media on a daily basis. However, I am not a person that posts a lot and rather uses it for communication or personal use like watching videos, music, etc. My personal branding strategy would be that I have been an excellent student throughout my life along with working at a local restaurant since 15. I have a strong work ethic in anything that I decide to do. I give 110% of my effort at all times. 

This picture was taken on a trip that was for my 18th birthday/graduating highschool in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico! First time Deep Sea Fishing and caught a 30 lb Jackfish Crevalle!

Blog Post 4

  I have approached creating a professional and effective profile on various sites that fit within my strategy by seeing what works for other people/groups. I have followed various popular channels on multiple different platforms like Youtube and LinkedIn. Some of these channels have thousands or even millions of followers. It is crazy to think about how many people that is. On a computer/phone screen, it just seems like a big number. However, to put thousands or millions of people into real-life perspective is spectacular. These groups know what they are doing and how to build their reputation and popularity. Some channels on Youtube that I follow are TacticalBassin, Jon B, and Wired2Fish. On LinkedIn, I have explained a couple of groups that I began to follow in my discussion post for this week. All of these channels/groups have become successful within the professional setting I am pursuing. I plan to approach a similar route of building followers, creating unique content, etc that

Final Blog Post

I have learned that using social media can improve and increase the popularity of a personal brand. For example, having an ad pop up on the side of someone's Facebook/YouTube screen could benefit HedgeHog's Fishing Vlog (my personal brand project). This would increase the number of seeing it on top of the possibility of copy/paste, sharing, etc of the link itself too. I hope to learn more about social media marketing within my future career. I believe that Social Media has boomed within the past decade and will continue to do so. Our world lives in a fast-paced, go-go-go type world that is perfect for social media. It allows for people to post things right as they happen. I think that I will continue to use the social media platforms that I have previously stated like Facebook and YouTube along with some new ones like Instagram or Twitter. All social media platforms offer a wide range of information to learn about. Good luck to everyone in their future endeavors!
