Self Evaluation

There are a lot of different criteria I could judge myself on concerning my facebook page. The most important to me is the impact the experience had on me, and the drive I have to continue expanding my page and company. Ultimately, this is the ideal outcome of any academic environment, and is exactly what I learned form this class.

People always hope for bigger numbers and faster growth, and those will come with time and experience. I could have been more timely on uploading new content, and I plan to find and maintain a regular interval for uploading. As a very routine-oriented person it will be easiest to have a particular time every few days when I upload. Furthermore, when something like new content is on a predictable interval, users will connect more, and have details to pass along to friends.

Finally, I plan to continue talking to people I shoot for and for friends and will direct them to my page a often as possible without being a nuisance. As a passion and future career, I need to exercise a serious effort to expand my audience. And facebook doesn't seem to be going away anytime soon.

There is no one trick to expansion. No golden ticket. But there is hard work, persistence, and dedication to a goal. Sometimes it feels that there is going to be one miracle post that will bump numbers and gain viral status, but this isn't the case. Future plans for my page consist of a continuous flow of new media, more event coverage, and individual connections being directed to a central point.

I learned a lot of technical concepts of how to build a page, how to look up numbers, and how the mechanics function. But the most important part is the understanding of how people work, what drives them, and the methods of controlling these trends.
