Self evaluation (LA4)

The most interesting thing i have learnt in this course has been all the social networks theory, actually that made me to think that probably the social media algorithms or maybe all the phone apps algorithms those collect data from their users analyze their social networks through the geolocation and internet networks and wifi networks where the people connects to. And I am sure also they use these simple maths,the rules of signs. to analyze the kind of relationships, if balance or not and etc. Really interesting...  About the creative commons licenses I am aware of them as I am  musician, actually I am registered in teosto.  About my social media implementation plan I think is going fine, like 530 followers which is quite fine considering other music related instagram profiles in same town, and that started much earlier.

I am not sure if this task have to be posted in my blog or could be done in other social media of my own, just in case i post it also here:  Original post´s URL : https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm4qh--rdVi/   Happy new year to everyone! 2022 has been for Gangrened the end of a era, with a perfect ending, and the beginning of a really exciting new one. Giving as a result already in July “Turbulent Times” a digital single release extracted from a recorded jam / improvisation session that we did in our second rehersal with this new line up. And now in 2023 we are having a physical release of this whole piece of music coming out next spring through the Swedish label @cloudedmindrecords in CD in a limited edition of 33 copies and in digital platforms under the name of “Ambient doom dream”. The result overall is an exercise of inmersion of Gangrened’s heavy sound into the more dreamy 90s. More specifics about this later. Our gig next 18th May in Tampere with @nadjaluv and...

Social media implementation plan

 Background: Name of the plan would be social media plan for a small business. the small business is a old instruments shop located in kokkola, a small town in the west coast of findland, target is all musicians or parents of potential musicians (meaning parents with kids those play piano or violin, for example) from kokkola and smaller towns around without a instrument shop. For example Pietarsaari wouldnt be included as they have a instruments shop locally. Target group: There are several lines to follow in order to implement sucessfully the social media plan for this instruments shop in a small town like Kokkola. For example, their biggest competitor is the huge online retailers that are so popular nowdays, specificly the one based in Germany named Thomann, they offer free shipping over 200€ purchases, really competitive prices and 30 days return policy. The strenghs of kokkolan Laitevalitys agaisnt competitors like this is the direct personal contact, in the shop, and a base of...
 1 a) Instagram: Instagram is a social media platform that i use quite often, i actually have several profiles there, for my musical projects mainly. I use it for my musical projects cause its popularity, is like everyone is there, so it is usefull to spread information about my musical projects activities.  I am unfamiliar with Tiktok, but it has became quite popular quite fast so probably it is also usefull to have profiles of my musical projects. Though, I have the impression that is quite much oriented for teenagers, at least originally. and also it has been labeled as toxic, for its fast event frecuency, compared to instagram for example. As i guess what the exercise text refers to "my field" its quite open and as in the text above i was refering to music i am going to refer to music about these companies/organizations, specificly bands.  1b) https://www.instagram.com/norfulthingband/ this band have grown really really fast about followers, and i think the reason is ...
