2024 Year in Review: Social Media

If the goal of this blog is to help promote the amazing female artists in the New England area, it really can't be just a blog. To reach a larger audience, to tell more people about these amazing artists, I need to be in more places.

Enter Social Media.

I need to be where the people are. And they all seem to be there. So, where, exactly, can you find me? I'm glad you asked...

Instagram is probably the place I’ve seen the most movement in the past year. It’s been great connecting with titleholders and visitors through that site. I use that account to post any and all pictures that have been submitted by my guest bloggers and interview guests. Maybe they were pictures that went along with their blogs, or extras that couldn’t fit with the blog. Or, they’re pictures that have been submitted afterwards. Whatever the case, I post them and use them to remind people of their contribution. It’s fun because it adds a lot of different content to the feed. That account had a big 2024 as it crossed the magical 2000 follower mark! 

Facebook provides fun opportunities. It posts links to titleholder guest blogs and interviews, as well as any pictures Forevers have submitted. It has also started posting pictures of any titleholders with Section 36 gear, whether they’ve contributed or not. The number of people who like that page continued to grow in 2024.

While Twitter was once a mainstay, that is no longer the case. Sure, blogs are sometimes automatically shared to X (bleh) because it's so easy to do. But, I don't remember the last time I posted there.

I have made the switch, like many others to BlueSky. While I haven't built up my following there, It's a work in progress. One thing that makes it different, is that there's only one account for all of the Section 36 Suite. So, sports, sportscards, lifestyle, music, etc all in one place. Something for everyone, if you will.

Section 36 Forevers also has a presence TikTok, Snapchat, and Pinterest. Although TikTok is the only one I've used with any frequency lately. Much like BlueSky, those are all one account for the entire Suite.

With all those ways to connect with Section 36 Forevers, there should be plenty of ways to share the amazing things my visitors are doing. I can't want to bring that to a much larger scale.
