In conclusion, social media a tool for promoting a personal brand and getting a message out. A personal brand should be something useful and not a trashy, debauchery fest, as some people have their profiles, that could come back to haunt them. The Internet is a wide place and it is up to the user to create a rich experience that will not only benefit them but others as well. My personal brand is about entertainment, and news; two things I’ am learning in my major. The Internet is currently the best place to start a career and keep it going. The late 90’s and early 00’s saw a dot-com bust; this decade will probably see something similar if and when Faceback is replaced. But if users are savvy enough, that will not affect them. My blog will strive to bring people together, but it will be mostly aimed to a niche audience. That is one of the challenges because by the fourth year it is mostly aimed towards comic book fans, yet hosts an entertainment, and human-interest shows and games to entertain the non comic or casual fans. If the society cannot be united in real life, they can be united on the Internet though common interests and my site will strive to do that.
My strategy is a well thought out five-year plan that will help me keep organized and clear in what direction to take the website. It starts out as a single site and grows to include shows, Twitter accounts, contests, games, and fun. Someday people might not even own TVs’ or radios any more and the Internet will go to place for every time of entertainment need. My site will provide several types of shows and comics that help quench their entrainment thirst. Users need to be kept satisfied with constant new content, listening to their suggestions and concerns, and not spamming their mail boxes. The future looks bright for any one who seeks fame and notoriety on the web and their presence will be remembered as either a filth fest or a unique networking site. Being tech savvy is a critical skill in a media saturated world, and having a blog is an excellent way to stay connected and show case your skills. I still have a lot to learn in my studies and working on my personal brand will be apart of my education. I want to continue with my site because it has the potential to be something great and not just be another blip in a cyber map. As new technologies new and develop, so will my personal brand.
