After looking over some of my former blog posts to see where and how I was able to get followers and stats going, I discovered that it was mainly through poetry. In the past few months poetry is something that I have enjoyed doing, but I have not been blogging poetry lately as I hope to work on a book. Other times it is because I don’t have writers block and can’t seem to write a poem when I want to. Poetry is something that I find freeing in a way to better express myself.
The second part of my blog that I found works well with followers is my Girl Power section. There are many views and compliments I have gotten through, what I hope, is empowering young girls with positive role models. There are many people who claim that there are no good role models for girls out there. But, I do believe that there are ones that are good to inspire young girls to be who they want to be. I do believe that some of these role models inspire young boys as well. I hope that by opening the door to showing that there are role models for girls where “sexy” and “stupid” aren’t their only good attributes. But, brains, morals, and self confidence are with them as well. In the world we live in so many girls are taught to focus on being dumb and their figure, not much else.
my brand is something that had me stumped when I heard about this. I had to think about what I had done on my blog that had made me able to say to the world about myself. I had to go and look back at my own blog for a moment to see what my blog said about me to the world of blogging, writing, and/or in general.
As for the use of widgets, I have not really used them. I believe social media connections that I am using has helped me improve my brand. There are several actions that can counter my brand when it comes down to using these, such as there being one to many used. Such as everyone using Facebook to get noticed or YouTube which has lead many people to achieve fame. I believe that the use of social media has become a blessing and a curse at the same time because everyone runs to it to make a living nowadays. None the less I hope that by expanding my brand through the use of social media and making my blog more noticeable help me achieve my dream.
For the last part of the month of July, I have decided to participate in Blogging 201: Branding and Growth. The first assignment is coming up with three goals. After some contemplation I have come up with the three goals that I have decided to set for myself for what I hope to achieve after this course has taken place.
Disgust is something we feel when we see or hear something that we do not care for. In this final piece of the last emotion shown in Inside Out by Disney/Pixar, disgust was the green and constantly annoyed one. Representing what annoys us and how hard it is to keep some feelings under wraps, disgust says it all. Not one to hold back and one that runs to help, Disgust has good intentions throughout the film. Disgust is a feeling we try to suppress, but sneaks up on us from time to time. Disgust is one feeling that we have to know right from wrong. Disgust makes us individuals if you think about it, what we like and what we don’t like. Disgust is by far, one emotion we cannot live without because it is one that makes us human.
