Hashtags

 

2. ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS ABOUT HASHTAGS BLOG POST - 30 POINTS

Create a new blog post by choosing 2 NEW questions (from last time), to answer from the list below.

  1. What is a hashtag?

Hashtags are specific words or phrases people will put in the captions of the post to show a certain topic. I guess you could say that a hashtag is a thing that can help you further your reach of the post you just made. It's hard to really explain but it's just a simple word or phrase that helps show your post. There is no real example of this. The example would be below when I talk about the purpose of a hashtag. 

  1. What is the purpose of a hashtag?

Think of it like this: you just took a picture of the new spiderman no way home poster and are about to watch it in theaters. You post the picture online and you put a description but nobody other than your friends and family sees your post. If you were to have used a hashtag like #Spiderman or #MarvelSpiderman or something that could be seen in a category your post would be put out more. Since it would be trending during the week of the movie's release you would probably get more views and likes on your post. This is the purpose it helps you that's really it, It gets your post out there for others to see.







The assignment focuses on hashtags and how to use them and how to understand them but I think the question is how can we use them to help us in our post on social media.

1. ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS ABOUT A "SOCIAL MEDIA STRATEGY" BLOG POST- 30 POINTS

Create a new blog post by choosing 2 NEW questions to answer from the list below.


  1. What exactly are you focused on about your social media strategy?

I feel like when you use social media strategy you're more focused on pushing out content that is just enough to get you into that state of people seeing it but also you're trying to make sure that you don't accidentally leak things about you. You try to preserve yourself by owning your words, hiding your identity, and also trying to have fun with the latest trends. The closest that I can relate is an example of TikTok since it's the social media I use the most. I see many people of different ideologies and a lot try to keep themselves hidden with masks, glasses, hats or they just don't show their face entirely.


  1. What conclusions are you coming to about a social media strategy?

My personal opinion and conclusion on social media strategy are that It is a set path of social media that you follow. I for one don't post often whether it's TikTok, Instagram, or even Twitter I usually use them to see others' posts or as a chatting system with friends. Social media is cool but I don't think Im up for the challenge of trying to be a people icon right now. Even knowing about the social media strategy is still something that is weird for me. It is a stepping stone for the future though.






The main focus of the assignment I think is to get us to familiarize ourselves with the basic understandings of the strategy to help us in social media. The question Is possibly on the lines of What can we learn and adapt from having the knowledge of Social Media Strategies?
