For our final week’s blog post we once again have been given the task of giving feedback to our peers, this time on the digital artefact beta’s. Throughout watching my peers’ videos I was extremely impressed at how much progress had been made on everyone’s digital artefact. I was amazed at how many different approaches and ideas everyone had in coming up with their presentation. Looking at the different ways everyone went about their beta has given me some ideas as to what I can add and improve to the final version of my digital artefact.  

Here are a couple of the beta’s I gave feedback to 

Something I hadn’t even considered before watching Adrian’s presentation was what time of day I was posting my content. Seeing how Adrian has laid out a specific time that he is posting his content based on his target audience really made me think about how I could integrate a similar time based schedule for posting content on my platform. Seeing how Adrian could describe his niche in thorough detail was extremely impressive and is something that I have been striving to do myself. This is because knowing exactly who your target audience is allows you to conduct better auto ethnographic research. 

Laurens detailed explanation into specific use of the affordances on social media and how this can lead to more engagement has really helped me with my project. Being able to pin certain videos that have performed well gives you the ability to show new followers who might be coming across your page for the first time what your content is all about. It gives them some examples of your best content and is likely to intrigue them into looking into your page further. She also mentioned how other podcasters captions gave her ideas as to how she could get more engagement through the use of a caption. I realised I as well could have been doing this as there is the caption of a post is something that should be fully utilised.
