Jan Walker's CSIT 155 - Spring 2021 Class Blog

tridentpacificconsulting is a brand new Instagram account. I have been running one for my own business at matigangoldens and matigangoldenretrievers for a while. There are not very many followers on my husbands account yet. Below are the 6 posts I have made to date. I made all of the memes myself on Canva. I am new to Canva so I think I am getting better with practice. I have settled into a branding color scheme of blues and oranges and tan.   So far the greatest number of likes is 6. My classmates are not really liking my stuff, maybe because I am at the end of the alphabet. I continue to like and comment on all new posts of my classmates.  For some reason the cross-posting to Facebook stopped working. I am going to see if I can troubleshoot that. It was working before...  The following are hashtags that I have used so far (newest first): #emotionalintelligence #emotions #mindfulness #selfmastery #beyourbestself #positivemindset #positivity #mindfulness #auth...

 Instagram Business Research Trident Pacific Consulting is a business consulting firm and also an individual life coach. A new mindfulness course in in the works. So I was unsure which way to approach the research. I kept getting bogged down exploring what other people are doing and it was very hard to find exactly the same niche. I didn't want to just stick to former SEALs but in the end I did a lot of research there too. As for former SEALs, there are many doing some kind of coaching or business consulting. They are most active on LinkedIn, Facebook, or Twitter.   I also had a hard time finding the big consulting firms on Instagram. Maybe Instagram is not the right tool for them.  Here are some of the non-SEAL people/businesses I looked at : Elan Solutions (New Zealand firm) Organisational Effectiveness Consultant & Coach (1 Consultant) 281 posts 218 followers Around the first of the year in 2021 Elan's Instagram changed dramatically. Before that dat...

 I made comments on Instagram on all of my classmates who had their accounts posted. I visited most as soon as we had links available.

Creating and Scheduling Facebook Posts I am finding this assignment extremely challenging. What is it like to work with a client that has his own idea about what needs to be posted and you have a difference of opinion? In this case it is not just a client but my husband.  What is it like to try to post often on social media when you don't have any idea how to explain what it is they do? And when you ask, you get abstract answers that no ordinary person will understand.  I decided to make some simple memes to post. I could have just copied and pasted from the internet but I wanted to get some experience making original content. I chose to use Canva. In Canva you can schedule Facebook and Instagram posts as well. To that end here is the screenshot of my scheduled Canva posts. The post scheduled on March 8th was an attempt to try to find the customer's "pain point." A business leader is unsatisfied with how his business is running and needs help. Discontent is the first ...
