Week1 B: Social Media Use Today

 Social Media has become one of the most influential platforms for various reasons. I find myself shuffling from social media platform to social media platform just aimlessly browsing through peoples content. The way I see social media being used today is honestly fascinating. You can practically find anything through social media whether its news, memes, family or friends, and so many other things. I see social media being used for business as well as personal use.

 I see a lot of potential in terms of social media being used from a business aspect. A lot of these famous Tik Tokers or Instagram influencers have gained such a large following that they're getting paid for the content they post. Which is crazy to me. Companies also pay these influencers to post advertisements through their content which benefits both parties.The business and advertisement side of social media is so vast and unique. I'd love to eventually advertise my future business through social media because it's peoples main source of information nowadays. 

I also love seeing the personal side of social media. It's an easy way to keep in touch with friends and family without having to constantly keep in contact. If I'm ever curious as to what my friends or family members have been up to I can always look through their social media pages. I love how easy it is to keep up with people's lives. I enjoy posting my own personal life through social media as well. Sometimes old friends of mine will contact me after I post something and it always feels nice to catch up. 

I mainly use social media to promote my fitness content but I also have a personal account for my friends and family. On my fitness Instagram account I mainly post my progress, advice, motivation, and sometimes goofy things to hopefully get viewers to laugh. On my personal account I tend to post things going on in my personal life. Where I am, what I'm doing, and who I'm doing it with. Social media really is how I stay in contact with the people I've met over the years. I tend to post a lot more content on my fitness account because I eventually want to have my own gym. I want to start building a following as soon as possible so I can advertise my gym and not just walk through the door empty handed.

Overall, I use social media for personal use as well as for building my future business. I know a ton of other people use social media for the same reasons as I do. I'm very excited to see what kind of influence social media has on my future.
