Project 3 Promotional Plan

            Promoting something means to support one’s interest to further the cause and aim to successfully gain more followers who believe the same. As a lover of reading and a writer myself promotion is a difficult but necessary step when creating a new piece of work that one wants to show to the world, but in order for this to happen it must be consistent and clever enough to attract more of an audience. I have decided on the creating on a short story that will be published November 12th as the official first draft. Before then I plan on creating two social media platforms to begin my work of promotion which will be an Instagram and a twitter. I will also create a poster and a flyer for my work.

            The two social media accounts will be updated frequently in order to attract users who use Instagram to look for stories. I know of several Instagram accounts that share stories and will likely ask them if they could share my poetry as well. I will also ensure that my Instagram account has all of the necessary pictures which will be at least fifty photos in order to really look like my Instagram healthy as a user and not some bot. This is essential because audiences do not really like bot accounts on Instagram and strive to find the accounts with interesting or original ideas. My postings will be interesting and will provide for my writing process. I also will create a twitter account and post six tweets per day in order to make sure that I am an active account that will show up in peoples search. Twitter is more of a short promotion and many other company’s use twitter to promote and support their own activities and materials. Twitter is also useful because many of the audience is tech savvy meaning that they will be able to locate my website and read from there and maybe even gain more of an audience for my website as well. The twitter is essential to tweet about parts of the work being released. The Instagram is important in order to show more imagery.

            I will also have a poster and a flyer for my other means of promotion. This way I can reach out to the audience of students that are on FSU’s college campus. This will be fairly difficult because there are only a few spots where people actually take the time to read a poster that Is on the wall. Luckily I am a student myself so it isn’t difficult to figure these spots out. The audience is really reaching out to the younger generation from adolescents to young adults so the range would be around 12-22. This is also based on audiences that are more hands on with social media and tech savvy. The purpose of my short story is to be entertaining and a little informative about the world around us.
