6-2 Blog Marketing Perspective

 MKT-265 Ardis Ortega There is one influencer that I have been following for some years now. She posts regularly on social media websites as well as on YouTube, which is her main posting site. Her channel is @sharlainjapan. She uploads about her life abroad in Japan starting off as a student and the moving on to social media content. She has a subtle way of marketing without being too overwhelming. Each video she has is very involved in either a place or product. Something that she promotes often is the tourism of Japan through her experiences. From places to dine, to several places to shop. It's never one place.  She also has partnerships with her videos as well. One common partnership that she has is a subscription box from a brand called Sakuraco. She also provides a code that gives a discount for those who are purchasing the subscription for the first time. I ended up subscribing because of that.

1-2 Blog Day in The Life

 MKT-265 There is a lot of digital media at the disposal of many people. I myself prefer things such as YouTube for various travel videos or a website called Archive of Our Own for some light fan fiction. I enjoy reading and seeing writers flourish with creativity, it brings me joy. Sure, there is social media that everyone gets on like TikTok or Instagram, but I prefer variety as well. There are both positive and negative points to both sites that I enjoy, like the lack of updates and content. However, I find there to be much more positive aspects than there is negative.  YouTube, I would say, has so much marketing attached to its videos and the content creators are always promoting some service that they enjoy. an example of that would be a creator that promotes a VPN for mobile and computer devices.
