@matt_anderson04 I always like finding my own name and my family members’ names on Coke bottles. We would laugh when we found them and have a good time sharing them. It made buying a Coke a little more fun!
@DonsSurfShop I had to laugh when I read your post because I was actually wearing a Snoopy shirt at the time! I can see why the collaboration was such a hit. Snoopy has been popular for years, so it’s no surprise that the items sold out so quickly!
Ever get grumpy when you’re hungry? Snickers gets it! You’re not yourself when you’re hungry, so grab a Snickers and feel like yourself again! #herges2026

@DonsSurfShop Being real seems especially important on social media because people are used to seeing so much content that is edited and polished. A more natural video could stand out because it feels different.
@SocialCurrent10@latermedia I like how this focuses on making your content easier to find without having to change what you are posting. Using words people already search for makes a lot of sense.
One tip from @StevenWommack was that the fastest way to grow is to go all in on one topic you are passionate or interested in and build a content pool around it. I thought this was useful because it gives your account a clear focus. #herges2026

@SocialCurrent10@buffer I thought it was interesting that just replying to comments can help increase engagement. It makes sense that talking with people instead of just posting can help build an audience.

@DonsSurfShop The digital version of word of mouth is a great way to describe it. What people say about a business online can really make a difference.
Your reputation follows you online. This article was a good reminder that managing your online reputation can help build trust with your customers. #herges2026

@AngelDe78957820 I like your classroom comparison. Social media gives people a chance to share different ideas and learn from people they might not otherwise meet. It can be a great place to learn if people use it responsibly.
@matt_anderson04 I like your reality TV comparison. Social media can definitely keep us watching, but I also think it can be a useful tool for communication, networking, and sharing information.
Social media is like an updated newspaper. It spreads news, connects people, and advertises businesses, but just like a newspaper, it can also be misused or spread information that isn’t true. #herges2026
@elisenopola72@jappleby The idea that the algorithm is really about people makes a lot of sense. Understanding what people want to see seems more important than trying to beat the algorithm. When content connects with the right audience, people are more likely to interact with it.
@ellamgriff@SutariaNaishadh I agree that creating good content is only part of social media marketing. If you do not understand who you are trying to reach, even good content might not get much attention. The target audience and algorithms really do seem to go hand in hand.
I chose to repost this because it connects to platform decisions. Choosing the right platform can make a big difference for a toy business because different platforms reach different audiences. #herges2026
Choosing the right social media platform can make a significant difference for your toy business. Facebook and Instagram provide powerful ways to build brand awareness and connect with potential customers. Learn more: https://t.co/bge4VrNgcb. #DigitalMarketing#ToyStore
@ellamgriff Learning about target audiences on different platforms will be helpful for all of us. Understanding who we are trying to reach can make a big difference in how we create and share content.
@natalieheuertz Learning how different platforms reach different audiences will be interesting. I think understanding social media marketing and content creation will help all of us learn how to connect with different audiences more effectively.
I expect this class to teach me how to actually run social media instead of just studying it. I’ll be using new platforms, learning new things, and probably making mistakes along the way. I’m looking forward to learning how communication and strategy work together. #herges2026
