This week we had to interview an expert on the topic of social media. However, we didn't just have to interview them, but we had to do it in podcast form. Before this class I had never made a podcast, nor have I ever thought about making one. On the bright side it was an amazing opportunity to learn technology skills and I faced it head on. I learned one how to record just audio which sound simple enough but there's a lot of aspects that need to be taken account. Then I had to insert the audio into Pod Bean and of course do a little snipping and editing of the audio to try and make it sound better. Now it's no professional podcast but I am proud of how it turned out.
Following with that I had to interview an expert in social media. I chose to interview one of my friends who is now a Graduate student at Northern Illinois University. For his bachelor's he studied Communications and Journalism so I knew he would be a perfect fit for this interview as he had to do a lot of work with social. He also has his own content creation page as well which he work very hard in running. I created of list of ten questions and then due to the time limit I made sure to highlight the most important questions that I wanted to be able to ask. He answered the questions thoroughly and straight to the point. Some examples of the question's I had asked are:
1. What strategies do you use to actively engage with your audience and welcome meaningful interactions within the comments?
2. Which social media channel do you find to be the most successful with promoting?
3. What troubles do you run into with posting on social media?
4. What resources do you use in helping create posts or help go off your ideas?
Needless to say, this week was a learning curve for me, and I found it to be very beneficial. With my major being in Marketing and knowing how big of role social media play's part in my future career it is nice to be able to hear from other's on the topic. Allowing myself to really take in the questions I asked and hearing the responses truly teaches me more on the subject of social media and some of the thing's i might run into in the future.
