The Knoggin Family is a creative children's book that has created a way to bring structure into the

family.

I have been following The Knoggin Family on Instagram for a while.  At first they were very active. Since last year they have not been consistent with their postings. 

They sell books on Amazon.

 I think she is using her social media accounts in a very positive way for others to feel less alone There are several postings on Youtube, Instagram, Twitter and Facebook daily.

This is a story about someone with mental issues that is documenting her journey to wellness on social media.   I think she is using her social media accounts in a very positive way to help other people in a similar situation to feel less alone.

 I have known the Little family for about 5 years they are a brick and mortar company located in Kansas City since 1970.   Laura Little is known for their finest candies and fudge.

I have noticed they do very little social media with the exception of holidays.  I wasn't able to access their social media platforms from the website. Based on what I saw when I did find them on Facebook and Instagram they have loyal followers.

Blended Emotions posts is my way for me to help others with everyday's rollercoaster of emotions.
Emotions can be an important strategy by coping with life's negative and positive feelings.
I am hoping that I am able to utilize this in a way that helps people know they are not alone.

I use Instagram and Facebook for all of my posts.  I find it interesting how many views and impressions I get vs. how many people interact and like the posts.


I have found that the more interactive you are with social media the more successful your business will be.    Every opportunity a business has to increase their brand is invaluable to reach a larger audience.  Social media has many opportunities to gain incredible engagement with customers as long as its content is exciting, unique or useful. 

In my own experience with social media I am realizing that I must be more interactive to gain more followers.   I think this class will guide me in the right direction.
