Feel overwhelmed by social media?

I'm pretty sure that people might have different thoughts on this.  When I first started using social media, it was about 9 years ago when my son was born.  Facebook was my first choice to join the world of social media since I just wanted to connect with my family and friends back in Thailand.  It was a great option for me to update my life and posted pictures of my son.  I would say that Facebook is the only platform I have been using and it happens to be a HUGE part of my life that I spend too much time on it 😒

Once I started my cooking class business, I realized that there was a good side of social media that could benefit for running business.  I immediately signed up with Facebook Page, YouTube, Instagram, and Yelp to help me promote my business locally.  So far, Yelp has brought me a lot of clients since people believe in "word of mouth" and they trust other people's opinion to help them make a right decision.  Check out my Yelp 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 reviews!

Within a month, I will launch another online business that has a bigger target group throughout CA.  I know that I need a power of social media to help me communicate with both current and potential customers.  Facebook Page, Twitter, Instagram, and blogging can build a community of people who have same interest and let them share their idea among the group.  However, I'd like to learn more on what I can do to use these platforms effectively.

Facebook is only thing I use for my personal use and LinkedIn just for professional side.  I don't have much experience with other platforms but I'm sure that I will be exploring more this semester and don't feel too overwhelmed by social media!

Week # 1B: Blogs I commented on

I was so excited to read and learn from what our classmates chose their blog templates and get to know the reasons why they picked those templates as well.

I wrote comments on Nicolas's, Tiffany's, Felipe's, and Abdul's blogs.

Week # 1A: Ingredients of my life!

My life is influenced by many things either good or bad but they altogether help shape me a person I am now.  Ingredients of my life are FAMILY, FRIEND, FOOD, and (being) FUN.  

Meanwhile, cooking has been a great part of my life and we all know that all you need is a good recipe and ingredients in order to make a wonderful meal.

This is the reason why I chose this theme to represent myself.
