After I started JMR, I really didn’t know what to expect. The work social media wise is so hard for a start-up business like JMR. Although I really did think that it was going to be no big deal attracting an audience has been a difficult process. My one problem was Facebook. I don’t know if you have seen posts on people’s Facebook pictures or whole albums selling things. You know, the posts where they tag a lot of people to get their attention. That was not the kind of audience I wanted to build. I wanted a serious audience that would somewhat respect my work. I even considered the possibility of detaching myself completely but I suppose the people that were interested wanted to put a face to the name.

The first step I took into starting JMR was a bit of a drastic one. I made the online store first. But I knew I needed to tap into a social media platform, I just didn’t know which one or even how. That when I decided to make a Facebook Page. That is probably the best decision I have made yet. The only reason I stress it so much is because I was so resistant toward making one. After getting so heavily involved I even decided to start promoting my Facebook Page my paying for advertising through Facebook. That was so successful my reach and views went up by an insane amount. I cannot stress enough how important Facebook is to today’s business world. I believe that when people all business should have an online presence but how they show their presence should be strategic and cautious to create the image and brand that they seek.
