Over the course of this semester I have promoted my blog on two different social media sites: Facebook and Twitter.
This was my effort to mirror the marketing strategies that I thought were effective in the campaigns I was following in order to draw attention to my own work. This was much more challenging that I thought because often times I found myself being redundant. After reflecting on my posts, I realize that the main rhetorical appeal I used was logos. I simply informed my audience of the the new blog posts each week, and attempted to display a level enthusiasm that I hoped would catch on.
I think I was successful in being consistent, and always giving updates about new posts and providing direct links to my blog. However, there is always room for improvement. Although the wording of my posts differed slightly from week to week, I think that the uniformity of my formatting could be perceived as somewhat boring. Ironically, this is often what I criticize Maroon 5 for. After taking a step back, I do realize the difficulty in effectively attracting an audience and maintaing readers' attention through creative marketing strategies. If I had the ability to do it differently, I would revise my captions to make them more engaging and interesting for my audience, just like I am proposing for Maroon 5 to do as well.
