Week 9 Post 2: Categories

 
 
I found myself having a really difficult time trying to come up with content that would make my viewers interested. I could be in an analysis paralysis frame of mind, but I managed to push through and put some content out there. One of the struggles I faced was linking my Instagram with my Facebook business page. I ended up posting the content first on Instagram and took that link and posted it onto my Facebook page. There has to be an easier way to do it than this, but I'm happy that it was posted. I was also surprised to see the amount of likes each post has received in the last few hours!

The categories I would use in my blog feel somewhat limited, but perhaps I may be overthinking it. With Twitch being a HUGE entertainment platform, I worry that my business's content may not stand out as much as a popular streamer's would. For my blog I plan to include: mental health, self care, video games, entertainment, video game review, and video game analysis. These would help ground my brand with these categories because it will help me stay focused on my business's plan of action. It will also help potential viewers understand what they are getting into when they see my content and Twitch channel.

Categories would help my business because my content will be relatable for someone to understand. I hope that my blog posts will give readers a sense of comfort that they are not alone in whatever situation they are in. I also hope that my entertainment posts will assist those who need a laugh or pick-me-up. This week gave me tons of ideas for blog posts and I can't wait to get started on them! Categories help businesses grow because it helps narrow down a specific topic that customers are looking for. If your business uses categories, it is a great way for customers to see your content immediately after searching a certain topic.

Week 10 Post 1: Email Marketing

      Email newsletters are an effective tool to share business news with your clients. I believe newsletters should be sent out at least once a month, although I fear that may not be enough. Once I start to fully understand what my community wants to see, I might increase my email activity to twice a month (depending on the amount of news needed to be shared). I've seen businesses send constant emails about their business and if it does not appeal to me, I typically delete them. If it gets to be too much, I would unsubscribe from their mailing list. I am hoping that my emails will not cause my viewers to unsubscribe from my newsletter.     For the type of emails that will be sent out, I would love to include stream news (what game I am currently playing, planned events, etc). I want to start doing charity streams each month. These email newsletters would be a great way to announce what charity we (as a community) have selected to donate to for the month. Further down the line, I w

Week 2 B: Business Research

Hello everyone! I am a Twitch streamer when I am not studying and working and would love to make content creation a full-time business further down the line. Below, I researched content creators that I highly look up to. I analyzed how they use social media, what seems to work for them, and their numbers for the social media accounts. Let's dive in!

Week 1: Why I chose my theme

     I chose my theme because I really enjoy the color scheme of blues and purples. I figured this would work best because this is the color scheme that I use on my Twitch channel. I really liked how simple the layout looked! I also found a space image in the settings section that also drew me in. Space has always been an interest of mine but I find myself appreciating the aesthetic of images like this (my mouse pad has a very similar image as this one). I feel as though I will end up changing my theme throughout the course once I get a full understanding of how I want to market myself to people.    The first social media platform that I signed up for was Friendster.com. I was never active on that site because I had no clue how to navigate through it. It wasn't until my middle school years when my cousin signed me up for Myspace.com. Myspace made it very easy to navigate through. The one thing I did not like about it was the use of a bulletin board. Although this could have been us
