Facebook and Instagram I think are better for promotions however, it is still dependent on the type of promotion and what you seek to achieve through it

  • In your opinion, what’s the most effective social media channel to use for promotion (and why)?

Depends on what field you’re working in and where your customers are. In my case, LinkedIn for B2B and Instagram for B2C. LinkedIn is a great platform to connect with people and businesses and express the transparency, which is favorable by most audiences. Instagram, on the other hand is great for showing your best features and photos of your product while bringing value to your audiences.

Currently, I work as a content writer and social media manager at VA company in the Philippines.

I am an educator by profession, which I did for a few years. But I now work in the digital marketing industry.

  • In your opinion, what’s the most effective social media channel to use for promotion (and why)?

I would say it’s LinkedIn. Because LinkedIn is where the people who make business are spending their time. That’s where you can find the marketers, entrepreneurs, and hiring officers who would be interested in what you have to offer.

  • What’s the last memorable social media update you remember from a company (feel free to share a link to it as well)?

  • What are you hoping to get out of this study group?

OK. I am a male. I thought I could do this all by myself, without any help. I was wrong. I failed. There, you heard it. I admit it. I FAILED! I experienced a painful Social Media Certification Stumble.
Now that a weight has been lifted, I am returning with a renewed hope for redemption. This time, with your help. I will be reviewing the course material, again, with the intention of successfully passing the exam during World Certification Week 2021.

I am working as a remote Virtual assistant and I am trying to gain as much experience as possible. I work in the freelance industry. I think Facebook because it has alot of business sections that you can use to attract customers. I’m hoping to learn alot and meet new people.

I’m Anna and I’ve been managing an online community for several years. I’m here to try to learn more about social media and create a career out of it. I’m a visual creative so Instagram is my go-to network (although increasingly, I am more engaged on Twitter since they stopped cropping images).

I’m Vietnamese and I have been here since 2019. I used to be in Hospitality major and 2 term internships in some hotel groups. Frankly speaking, thanks to the internship I realized that I’m not suitable for that industry. So, I decided to study abroad. I’m satisfied with this choice. It gives me lots of good experiences when I have approached several cultural diversity and valuable knowledge in the US. I’m in a BA degree with a management option.
So far, I am planning to apply for OPT to gain more practical experience in my major. This helps me more understanding about market, cultural diversity in a working environment.

Marketing is not my major however I would like to choose this course as an elective option. I believe that E-marketing will give me lots of helpful information and I can use in the forward career. Nice to meet all of you guys !!! . I hope all of you have a wonderful summer and winning semester.

Hi Chau, glad to see another Vietnamese here~~~
