Unit Two Discussion Question

How is it important to select the best-suited platform for your social media needs? How might one consider a different platform when creating his or her interactive media strategy? Provide examples in order to illustrate your response

First peer belowChoosing the right social media platform to highlight your business or personal ventures is important. A business or personal account that has or needs lots of pictures or videos to explain the concept wouldn’t do well on Twitter because that’s only text and visa versa.      One example I can use is my sons desire to start an antique toy train repair business. He can use Instagram to highlight before and after pictures or short videos of the trains highlighting his repairs. Again, this wouldn’t do well on a platform such as Twitter. He also uses Discord to network with the antique toy train community and shares pictures and videos there.      Part of my work with Spartan requires posting training videos and articles as well as promoting upcoming workshops. We use Facebook for this type of networking because we have access to thousands of people who have chosen to be in the Spartan groups. Other platforms would be difficult to reach that many people so easily. TicTok, even tho it is fine for short videos, would not be able to have the same impact because you can’t have the articles and the videos are limited to, at the max, 3 minutes. YouTube would also not be a good option for this. Even though you can post longer videos, you are missing the option for the article. This is where you can use both YouTube for the video and attach the link to your article and post them together.
