Week 9 Part A: What is TikTok All About

 

I've been thinking a lot about how TikTok has become one of the most influential social media platforms out there. It's crazy how a simple, short video can go viral overnight and reach millions of people. The format, with its engaging videos and endless creativity, especially appeals to younger audiences who love its dynamic and interactive nature. That's why I believe TikTok could be a fantastic platform for Iomi to connect with our audience in a fun and authentic way.

Iomi is a brand I’ve been working on with the goal of building a strong online presence by being exactly where our potential customers are. TikTok, with its playful and real vibe, feels like the perfect place to show off Iomi’s personality and create content that feels fresh and relatable.

Ideally, collaborating with other brands or influencers would be great to boost visibility and credibility for Iomi. However, since Iomi is still a new business, I have to be careful not to spend too much on promotions. The plan is to start small, experimenting with organic content and slowly working towards building genuine connections with the audience before diving into paid advertising.

What I love about TikTok is how it allows you to show a more personal side of the brand. Things like behind-the-scenes videos, customer testimonials, and storytelling are all ways to make people feel connected to Iomi. Building that sense of community and authenticity is so important for creating real brand loyalty, especially in today’s social media-driven world.

Sure, there are concerns about TikTok’s privacy issues and the possibility of the platform getting banned in the United States. But the truth is, its marketing potential is just too good to ignore. The ability to reach millions of potential customers and boost engagement through creative, fun content makes TikTok a tool I can’t afford to overlook if I want Iomi to grow and stand out.

Bamboo Days Week 1A

Sometimes, life can feel like a never-ending race with so many things to do, places to go, and people to be with. With everything going on, it’s easy to feel a little overwhelmed. That’s why I decided to start this blog: to share thoughts, tips, and some reflections that help me make life a little more organized and manageable. Some ideas will come from my own experiences, and others from what I’ve learned from experts. I hope they help you as much as they’ve helped me! While I was thinking about what to write, one thing that came to mind was bamboo. I think it’s a perfect metaphor for life. Bamboo is flexible, it moves with the wind, but it never breaks. It made me think about how, sometimes, we need to be flexible in life, adapt to situations without losing who we are. Bamboo also grows really fast, which reminds me that, when we focus on our goals, we can move forward way quicker than we expect. What’s interesting about bamboo is that, even though it bends with the wind, it rema...

Week 3 Post A

  Websites with Design Issues  Craigslist (San Diego) The website looks outdated and unorganized.It’s hard to find specific items because there are no clear categories.There are no images or modern design elements, making it less appealing. The Craigslist website clearly has issues with contrast. The colors are simple and boring, and there is no variation in images or sizes. Visually, it feels overwhelming because everything looks the same. The website uses a lot of tiny text that is difficult to read, as the typography is small and too close together. Additionally, it is hard to understand what is important at first glance. There is no clear visual hierarchy, making it unsure where to start. This lack of structure makes the website tricky to navigate and frustrating to use. Overall, Craigslist does not provide a user-friendly experience and could benefit from a more modern and organized design. Craigslist prioritizes functionality over aesthetics, offering a straightforward p...

Week 12 Part A: Using Business Specific Online Tools

  This week, I explored several online tools to see which ones would help support and grow Iomi Bake , my small baking brand originally created in Colombia. Even though I’m not currently operating the business due to visa limitations, I want to keep building its digital presence and staying connected to customers and the baking community.  Online Collaboration Tools – Slack & Trello Iomi Bake may be a one-woman brand, but collaboration tools like Slack and Trello could help me in the future when I work with freelance designers, photographers, or even delivery partners. I like how Slack allows for easy messaging and sharing of files, and how Trello helps visually organize content planning or order timelines. I would definitely use both tools when I grow the team or manage larger orders.  LinkedIn Groups At first, I thought LinkedIn was just for corporate jobs, but I’ve discovered groups focused on women entrepreneurs , small business owners , and even food busin...
