Self Evaluation

When thinking about this assignment I kind of chuckled. I've never been one to say I'm good at something or did a great job. I may have said oh I think I did good but then I take it back almost immediately because I didn't or don't reach that level of greatness or perfection. I've just been told I'm too hard on myself, but hey if it gets me by and makes me just want to get better then so be it.

I started out on a different level than 90% or so in the class when it came to creating a facebook page because I chose to use one that had already been created. I had to do a lot of convincing with a certain editor in order to become an admin and became one after making this person realize I wasn't trying to take over their job. My main thing with this page is I posted our multimedia elements, I tried to post at least one video a week. I didn't want to overdue it with those who "like" the page. Another reason being it's not just my page to use, it's to share articles and photos as well which I wish would get updated more often than at least once a week. In my opinion I think viewership would increase but it's not my place to do post something when it's someone else's job.

Over the course of the semester I invited all my friends to like the page. I never sent out a mass invite. About once a week or so I would invite a chunk of friends and make my way down the list and until just recently I ran out of people to invite.

When I first became an admin there were 655 "likes" and now there are 765. I can't take credit for every single one of those likes. Yes, I may have invited all my friends to like the page and posted something every week but when photos are posted and friends are tagged in them their friends may look at them. You get the idea. It's like a chain reaction. I also told my friends to have their friends like the page as well so that helps.

Something I wish I had done different is posted other multimedia things or just shared things that had been posted on the Dixie Sun page on my page so it's like two in one. I think that would have made a difference. I may have mentioned on my status a couple times to "like" the Dixie Sun page but that wasn't enough. As I continue as the multimedia editor I will continue to keep the Facebook page updated (in accordance to my section).

I can say I look at the Dixie Sun page at least once a day but that doesn't mean I update it everyday but I plan to be better in the future.
