Having An Online Presence

6 weeks ago I started the class MKTG 345, Selling With Digital Media. I had a personal facebook, twitter, insta... (all the works), but no real business showing online. This specific class has taught me how having an online presence can help you in the business world in so many ways. One of the first assignments I had was to create this website. A website all about me, I thought that was a little odd, I had already made up a resume why did I need a website to show it all too? But after making it I realized all of the pros of it. I am now on google, making my resume easily accessible to everyone with internet, including other business people I may have never thought to look into; offering jobs I never knew about before. Not only can these important people see my resume in a fun new light that shows more about my personality then a boring piece of paper, but it also contains a blog showing all of my thoughts and opinions on new business trends.

The second assignment I had was to create a business twitter, which by far taught me the most. I use it mainly to share my new blogs and get my name out for others to see. However, following all my other classmates and professional business men and women has allowed me to learn so much more about upcoming trends in the business world and current events to keep me up to date and educated on everything marketing and business.

I now have a linked in, business twitter, facebook, website, and blog, all of which are putting myself out there for potential business people to find me, while helping me further my education past simple classroom terms and into the real world of marketing. Creating an online presence for myself has greatly helped me further my career in business and take the terms learned into the classroom and put them into use in real world situations.
