Assignment for 3/29

Blog Post #2
Compose a blog post of 3-5 paragraphs that presents your opinion/commentary/argument on a topic related to your campaign. The more specific and nuanced your post is, the more interesting and useful it will be to the reader. Grammar and spelling count! Think about adding visuals or video to your post to illustrate your point. Remember, commentary, opinion, and teaching are covered under fair use, so you may use selections of other work to illustrate your point.

**Once your blog post is published, please post the web link in the comments section.


Scheduling & Advertising the Post 
When your post is complete, schedule it using the "Post settings" on the right hand side of the screen. Try scheduling the post for a future date (any date prior to 3/29).  When your blog post is published, use your Twitter feed to advertise it. Just be careful not to over-hype it. (Tip: Develop a steady schedule for new blog posts. Once a week is generally a good starting point).

Tracking Results
Track your results in Google Analytics to see if your advertising attempts on Twitter were successful. Also use Followerwonk or Tweriod to see when might be a good time to advertise your blog on Twitter to your followers.

Continue Engaging on Twitter 
You should be entering into conversations on Twitter and following relevant personalities regularly. Begin to build an active community so you can generate traffic to your blog.
