Whom did I decide to follow on Twitter and why

First of all I choose to follow TED Talks because these conferences are always a plue value. The people who tells us their stories has real experience and know how to use powerful and meaningful words to catch us. It's often a lead to follow and always very interesting. It's also teaching me in a way how to be successful with myself, and my business. 
I followed BFMTV directly after my first log on Twitter, because it's one of the most complete information media for me. It covers news from everywhere and from France of course which allows me to keep in touch with what is happening in my home country. 
Then to keep with social medias I followed at Los Angeles Times and Magazine, I put them together because the first one mostly gives me official news from LA when the second one is more focused on fun facts and activities in LA, both useful for my year abroad here. 
I like The Ellen Show, this woman always impressed me and has been a model on the way of success since I discovered her. I followed her to get some of her inspiration everyday. 
Finally I choose to follow Konbini, a social media focused on young people mostly I'd say by their choice of topics. This media is actually very interesting, it always gets my attention. And the bonus point is that now that I started this blog it also helps me seing how this universe is settled: because this magazine is built in a very familiar way and the articles look like blog's posts. 

 What are the strengths and weaknesses you can find using twitter as a social media marketing tool? 
Using twitter is good for the audience because you can reach a big amount of people in some mouse clicks, just by following "right people" like leaders/influencers or using well known #hashtags. It's easy to create an active communication on twitter thanks to the way this media works. You just need to say something catchy and you can get a thousand of retweets in a couple of minutes. So it allows you to develop your brand in a good way. 
But be careful about the dark side of twitter because you can quickly go into connecting with the wrong people, or saying something inappropriate that will be seen by all your followers' community. This can bring you into trouble. Also keep in mind that to seem professional you can't allow yourself to use the sms language that we often find on Twitter, due to the limited amount of letters you can use per message.

    Hi Anne Marie, I made the same choice by choosing The Times. I think it is very important to be aware of the news everywhere in the world if you want to build a business. In our world a crisis in another country can influence the economy and the business in yours. You are totally right.

Important tools to use for SMM - from the case study

Hello everyone!  From the case study of this week I learned important tools that can't be left behind while being in the world of social media marketing. First of all it's necessary to take into account while having a company in the U.S. that almost 80% of the population is concentrated on the East Coast. To reach them, you need to adapt your time of posting. You would also increase your chances of getting more visibility in one shot. Secondly, I was surprised about what we can actually do with Facebook. I've been using this social network for 6 years and I knew that their advertisement strategy is good, but seeing here how they actually do is very impressive. The data of users' profiles as demographics or personal interests can be used to target your best the people more likely to need your product. This is a good thing to know, well targeting your customers with adapted ads will get you more views and "talking about it" mentions, this way you also increa...

What about my utilization of social media ?

HELLO ALL ! As we almost arrived to the end of this course, here are a few things about my different accounts on social media. My blog  I finally ended up with 8 posts counting this one on my blog, with a total number of views reaching 288 and only 4 comments. To have more followers I think I should have made my blog look more attractive, I'm sure this would have get me more views. What I like the most about blogging is the personal aspect that is emanating of it and the liberty you can take by creating your website as you want. This reflects the best how you are and your personality will attract followers because they're looking for authenticity. When it is about a brand it's a bit different but still blogging is a good way to get popular.  My Facebook I'm using FB since 6 years and I have to admit that I already knew a lot about this social network. The system of friends, pages and groups isn't new, but the way of using it efficiently I learned it w...

Why it is important to market yourself? How can you build your brand online?

For our professional life it's important to know how to sell ourselves. It's the first thing people will notice about you, when you apply for a job for  example. In this globalized world we can have the same opportunities than someone living across the globe who didn't go to the same school, doesn't have the same religion or culture but who will be able to seek for the same job as you do. You need to differentiate yourself by having skills that they won't have. Knowing how to manage social media to market yourself is primordial. Your LinkedIn profile has to be reliable and not too boring. Your Facebook page should be clear of every party's pictures that would make you suffer from the consequences if your future employer looks at your profile. You need to be aware of what social medias can bring you as a positive touch but also be prepared of every negative eventuality....
