Advertising

This was a bit confusing at first, because 1, I don't use Facebook a whole lot. Two, it was hard to figure out the best advertising for VoiceOver as you typically audition for roles. Three, it was hard to think of what to say since I find it hard to write at times.   The first image is asking if you are looking for a voice over talent for your project. Just simple with my logo and asking to come check out my website. I then realized in Facebook, there are different types of advertising options. You can promote a post, or have an ad that is more geared toward getting bookings on your site, or asking for a call to action. After I realized that my second one is asking if the viewer is having a hard time finding their voice and to come check out my web page for more information. The last ad is more about the post I created regarding finding the right voice. In that ad I would be including my own link to my website to have people come and find me as their correct voice for their project...

Week 13 Part A: Online Advertising - Analysis of the Marketplace

The graphics and images draw my attention first. If the images are engaging and pop off the screen, then I am likely to stop and read what the advertisement is about. On Twitter, I mostly look to see who the ad is from. If it has a catchy tag line or hashtag I am likely to look in the comments and see what everyone is saying about the brand. Ads on Twitter and Instagram typically have a call to action. Their first step on Twitter is that they want you to stop, like it, and possibly click on the link and read more. These actions happen so fast. That is what they want, just a like so that your followers can view the same information.  These to me are typically annoying and I don't want to see them on my Twitter timeline. The advertisements where I am being targeted for movie releases or click bait articles. I despise them, but I know I probably clicked on something to make the algorithm believe that I was interested in the topic in the first place.  On Instagram I do not mind th...

Business Specific Online Tools

 There are many social media sites for business. Linkedin seems to be the top one currently. Which is great. I go there to get information from other voice-over artists and they are a good source with tips and the community likes to mentor talent. However, I might go there to make connections and those connections could lead to new work opportunities. So far my business, I would use their site.  Meetup is another good source, but I would not say it is for business. I find this website more friendly to people who share a hobby or particular interest. This could actually be beneficial to a storefront business if they wanted to host an event. They could have information on their website or social media pages directing people to review meetups to see the events at their store. This service is not free to the store or business there is a small fee for using the site. Over time this small fee could be fine if they are getting people to purchase items or use their services. This site...

 Comments Made for Marketing with Social Media  James Anear Nancy Williams  Kate Strong All my classmates had valid points. However, I do think it is wise to dabble in all social media if possible. You will never know what will turn up. 

Marketing with Twitter, LinkedIn, and More

     I don't think Twitter is best for a small business unless they have a current following. Twitter is filled with so much political comments, funny comments, and short snippets from other sites, I think that it might be a waste. However, if you can drive a following on Twitter then it would be a good way to market. From what I have found most companies just cross-post and do the same posts on all platforms which include Twitter.       Twitter I find is best for personal use, and get updates from larger companies on their most recent happenings. From time to time, you will see a tweet that has gained a lot of traction. Once a tweet gets a lot of traction, then someone might say "Hey, come check out my (name of product here) and come to my website. That could be best for a small business.  As the "Mention" article states first decide what you want to accomplish on Twitter. Once that is established you can have a better idea of your outcome. Twitt...
