Week 6: Engaging Your Customers

Spikey Bits -
One of the more seasoned bloggers in miniatures and miniature gaming. I followed Spikey Bits for information I can share with my followers and for information on the industry in general.

The Long War -
Another old hand in the industry. The Long War started out as a painting service and has morphed into an teaching / educating painting stream on Twitch.

Warhammer 40,000 -
The official page of one of the largest miniature games in the industry. The page has upcoming releases and news information to share on the game.

Greebo Games -
Greebo Games is a newer game developer that is producing some of the most stunning models in the industry right now. Not only good to repost some of their information but I would love to paint some of their models.

Strange Aeons Game -
Strange Aeons Game is a small game publisher from Canada that I got into playing when they first Kickstarted their first edition game. I’ll be posting some of their figures and posting some of their games in the future.

Guerrilla Miniature Games -
Guerilla Miniature Games, another cornerstone of the Game Bloggers. Constantly posting on gaming, painting, and news in the industry. Definitely someone I can take pointers from and learn from.

Pulp City -
Another game publisher for a super hero miniature game. I like their IP and have quit a few of their miniatures still to paint. A good way to attract some people to watch me paint different miniatures I think.

I like the options of customizing the themes that Blogger provides. For this Notable Coral theme, I changed the Title font and color, the font of the main body text, and how vivid the coral color is.

14b: Social Media Analytics

 The information provided by the FaceBook data, though not as detailed as the Google Analytics, is still very useful. I can see which type of posts get the most interactions and can infer from this information why they are getting the most interactions. Visual story telling along with concise copy and informative details seem to be the best path to interactions along with the time of the posts. This is definitely information I can use to design future posts to interact with my followers and gain new followers.
