College students at Texas State are hitting the end of the semester. Sharing my insight of fighting games was a fun experience and I hope it helped some people.
One thing I wish I could have included more info graphic type videos. I wanted to share a more visual experience with my audience, and it would have been more helpful that way instead of explaining it in text. It is a video game, video games are better seen than heard.
Twitter was a great way to share my content to people who followed me. My twitter includes people I’ve met in life, personal friends, family, and a lot of FGC members. I should have tried to reach out to other types of social media other than twitter. I could have used Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Tumblr (if its still populated), and maybe even the Group Me’s I was in for each of my classes.
This semester long project was better than I expected. I didn’t expect to be very outgoing and focused as I was while writing each one of my blog posts. Even though it was sort of nerve-racking, my favorite experience of this semester long project was my “How to Find A Main” blog post. Making a video where I actually talk to audience was fun and new, I have some experience talking to big crowds but the internet makes me more nervous than large crowds for some reason. If I decide to keep this going, this experience helped me a lot. It taught me how to plan, adjust, and what not to do before making a video to post to YouTube.
My major is advertising and other than this project, I feel like the tools and things I learned in this class will help me a lot in the long run of things. Social media is a big platform to cover when it comes to advertising since its one of the most popular things used. There is a lot of individual time spent on social media by the people of the world. This class has taught me what people do like, what they don’t like, and how to adjust to the always changing format of social media.
STATS
My most popular week was May 4th 2020. I got 51 views and 31 visitors. My most popular post was my “How to find a Main” post posted on May 7th. The post got 30 views and it was also retweeted by Hakii, a popular Smash Ultimate Player in Austin, TX. I have a feeling that helped my post a lot, and I really appreciated that.
THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!!!!!!
Even though you didn’t have to, some of you guys read my posts. Thank you for helping me and even critiquing me in chats I’m in with you guys. This experience has helped me explain myself better when in conversations about this topic which is very important for me. Thank you everyone!
