1) Generally, I tried to increase my overall social media exposure by linking my blogs to different pictures and even featuring articles that I had read in some. I also used a title that has some meaning and shows a little bit of my character so that it would entice people. I used the handle: "UsingMediaForGodsGlory" because it shows that I am a Christian and would maybe increase interest and media exposure.

2) Other than the required titles and labels, I didn't really use any keywords. I did use a hashtag (#Entrepreneurship) once and this may have helped link my post to any search engine.

3) I used social media by posting a link to my blog on both Facebook and Twitter, which I hoped to bring more traffic to my page, but in fact, it was mostly ignored. When I look at the views for each of my blogs, I see that they increased during the days following my post, which mean social media did help bring some viewers to my blog.

4) The blog post I had that went the most viral was "Celebrating Failure" with 28 views. The reason this post had the most amount of traffic was because the title is counter-cultural and makes you really think about how much our society values success over all things and almost makes us believe that failure isn't natural or necessary, which it is.

5) Unfortunately I didn't use key words so I wasn't located on the first page of google searches, but when I searched "God blogs" I was on the eleventh page. So I guess my blog's handle acts as a keyword in this situation.

Week 14 Reading Reflection

Biggest Surprise: The biggest surprise for me was how we value a firm and the different accounting methods we use to access how the firm is moving forward in regards to its current and potential success.

Most Confused By: I was truly confused by the corporate entrepreneurship assessment tool and how it effects the work environment.

Two Questions for the Author: 

- If you were creating a new business, what organizational structure would you choose to implement?
- Why do companies, such as Proctor & Gamble, choose to use so many different brands?

I Disagreed With: I kind of disagreed with the thought that men and women will always naturally manage differently and that we are rule-based and that women are people-based. I believe I am much more people-based and I am a man.
