GIFs took over social media for a period of time and I finally learned how to make one! By creating a GIF with my pet chinchilla named Scruffy, I gained two followers who are also chinchilla lovers! The hashtag #furfreeforever led these two new followers to my profile! Even though my tweet only got 2 favorites, I still think by adding a visual and using topic related hashtags, the tweet got more views than noted.

The best part of learning more about social media was learning how to incorporate hashtags and different types of visuals to draw attention to your tweet. Lacrosse is a sport that I am very passionate about, so I thought I would tweet about my team, the Syracuse Women’s Club Lacrosse team. By adding a video on some of the things we do as a team at practice. I thought using hashtags such as #sulax #syracuse would draw a bigger viewing for people in the area that are also interested in the sport. I got 2 favorites!

Although this tweet also only received 1 favorite, I think adding an article about a topic that I think people should be more aware of was a good idea. Using the hashtag #InternationalWomensDay also gave the tweet more of a current event concept.

March Madness is the most exciting time of the year for college basketball fans!

During the Viral Content challenge, I focused on the importance of equality in sports and how women deserve equal pay as men. I used the hashtag #WeCanDoIt to try and get more views on my tweet because professional soccer stars such as Alex Morgan and Hope Solo used this hashtag as well. By adding an image that I personally edited added visual content, which also could have guided people to look at the tweet.

Using the hashtag #espnW also led to more clicks because people were interested in the topic.

Since I had so much success tweeting at Laura Gentile, I decided to tweet out to my favorite female broadcaster, Beth Mowins. I used the same style of tweet by asking a question on advice aimed towards females striving to work in the sports industry. The tweet got 1 favorite and another response!

And finally…. MY NUMBER 1 TWEET !!!!!

Unfortunately, sexual assault occurs all around the world and it is up to us to help stop it! It is on us to recognize that non-consent sex is sexual assault and it’s on us to intervene in situations where consent isn’t given. You could help save someone’s life and you could change a person’s life forever. By using the hashtags #ItsOnUs and #StandStrongSU, I could a lot of tweet activity! The tweets got 5 retweets and 22 favorites! Someone even quote tweeted me to help spread the awareness even further!
