1)
What was the general theme or argument of the book?
The book I have chosen for this assignment is The Art of
Social Media: Power Tips for Power Users by Guy Kawasaki. The main argument
Kawasaki is trying to make is that your social media is like your own business and
in the book, he gives multiple tips on how to improve your social media.
2)
How did the book, in your opinion, connect with and enhance what
you are learning in ENT 3003?
Well in this class, I learned the importance of networking and
getting many contacts. With social media, it can allow me to connect with many
different people in a short amount of time. This book helps me understand how to
use my social media efficiently.
3)
If you had to design an exercise for this class, based on the
book you read, what would that exercise involve?
There are a lot of good tips given in this book so I would have
students make a social media account and then used the tactics in the book and then
see who got the most likes and follows on their social media. It could be like
a competition and there would be a prize so that would incentivize the
students.
4)
What was your biggest surprise or 'aha' moment when reading the
book? In other words, what did you learn that differed most from your expectations?
The biggest ‘aha’ moment for me was when the author wrote that
even he does not really know how social media works because it is always
changing and that is why people should keep experimenting. I thought that was
really interesting and it makes complete sense.
Hey Brian! I also chose the book "The Art of Social Media: Power Tips for Power Users" by Guy Kawasaki. I really enjoyed reading about all of his different tips on how to create a social media powerhouse of an account. I agree a lot with your analysis especially about the part where you talk about designing an exercise for the class. Great post!
ReplyDeleteHey Brian! I read this book as well and thought the information about the author saying that he does not really know how social media works was interesting. Knowing the information in this book I feel is beneficial because it kind of catches you up to the latest social media tactics you should use and you as an entrepreneur can start discovering new strategies.
ReplyDeleteHi Brian. I read this book too! Social media is very important in society today. I really liked the part you were surprised in because social media s constantly changing and for a company or product, it is important to always experiment with what is new. Social media is used for, like you said, connecting, but also to be able to get your point across different. This is very helpful for the products we are creating in class.
