Week 9: Blogs, Vlogs, Podcasts & Webinars

 Reaching for the human element in a business blog post makes the business (what ever it may be) more personable, more relatable, more welcoming. This may spark more interest in your audience and even allow more people or customers feel better about sharing your content and so reach an even larger audience.  Not every post needs to be a human interest piece, but neither does every post need to be cold and just pushing a sale or for a conversion. To me I think adding a piece of me into a post that can make it more relatable to my audience is almost natural, like meeting a group of new people and finding a common interest with a few of them.

I would make some of my diy posts more about how I solved the problems I was facing in the painting or assembly of the models that I am showcasing. The niche genera I’ve chosen lends itself to more of a personable approach as it is more of a personal hobby to many more people than a business.

Week 1 - Blog Theme

  I chose the Notable Coral theme to start with. The color scheme first caught my eye. The bright coral color against the black background stood out among the gallery of themes on offer. It also came with a clean simple design and I knew I was going to want to modify it a bit, so thought that would make an easier place to start from. Notable Coral, I noticed, was way more dynamic in adapting to platform sizes than some of the other themes. In this new era of smart phones and tablets that more and more people are using to view internet pages on, I thought that this would be a plus for any direction I would be going in with this blog. I think it would be better for more people on whatever device they prefer to have an enjoyable experience when interacting with this blog or any website. 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. I...

Week 13a: Online Advertising - Analysis of the Marketplace

 I have to say, that most of the “sponsored” posts I see on Facebook almost all fade into the background of my scrolling. I can almost subconsciously ignore them as I scroll. They are all designed almost exactly alike, to the point they just fade into the background. Most use standard “photo stock” looking images with a tagline or a few sentences of copy to “grab” your interest. It may be based on what I have been looking for recently? Maybe the search algorithms stored for my sign on that keep showing me the simplistic boring “adds” over and over again? In any case almost all of the “sponsored” posts I click on lead me to a “Sales Funnel”, where the call to action is sign up for an e-mail list or download a free sample of information with the opportunity to buy a book or cheep chotskies from China (with a month or so shipping time). I can say for me, most of these adds are annoying, so looking for them as examples was a bit of a chore. At the least, it gives me ideas on what not t...
