 Instagram   Instagram is a social media channel that allows you to connect with people around the world and post photos and videos of events you want to remember. For example, one benefit of using social media, is being able to upload recent activities and allow your family and friends to see them. By doing this you will get likes and comments from the people who follow you or those who appear on your suggestions, which will inspire you to continue uploading more posts in order for more people to like your posts to let you know people are interested in what you are up to.  Also, people use Instagram to gain national fame.

 Artic Monkeys and Stormzy's use of Social media  In the early 2000s Arctic Monkeys used apps such as Myspace and SoundCloud to promote their music and build a fanbase to give them enough fame to be recognised by the music industry. However, this worked out really well for the band as not only did they get really popular on Myspace and SoundCloud but have now became one of the most successful UK bands of all time. Other Artists since then have kicked off their fame from using SoundCloud such as Post Malone in 2015 released a song on SoundCloud called White Iverson which would be shared from SoundCloud by his fans and would globally go viral.   In 2014 Stormzy did a underground freestyling scene in South London for LinkUpTV who try and support underground UK rappers and get them to fame. They do this by uploading the freestyles on to YouTube for their audience, which is where people would start to recognise his talent. The video would get over 10 million views on YouT...

The reason why they do this is to build up their companies audience but also the products, as that is what makes them money.

Homework due for Monday.

In 1993 the world wide web was just for companies to expand their profits, along with other companies such as Amazon and Ebay starting up with websites who started up in 1995 when the world wide web began being more open to the public. With this we could buy Cd-Roms that allowed you to use their website with a 30 day free trial before being charged by the hour.   In the late 90s, there was a internet gold rush that caused a dot com bubble burst.
