Analysis
It’s
interesting to note that none of the newsletters used social media to any great
extent. Some of the newsletters didn’t use social media at all. This may be due
to the fact that most of these newsletters are written by older people who have
not grown up using social media.
Most
of the newsletters don’t use blogging to any great extent either. This may be due to
the fact that they are investment newsletters and they put their content into
their newsletters. I have noted that other newsletters, other than the ones
explored here, do use blogging to a greater extent.
The
newsletters explored for this assignment could, in my opinion, make better use
of social media and blogging. For my own newsletter, the Intrinsic Value Wealth
Report, I am taking this course on social media in order to learn ways to make better use of
social media. I do currently make fairly extensive use of blogging.
