How will I use social media after graduating?

By the grace of God, in June of this year I will officially be a graduate of the multimedia program. I intend to specialize in the field of videography upon graduating, and taking this into consideration I expect to increase my use of social media. For one, when producing any form of promotional video, be it a commercial or music video, the intention is for it to create awareness for your product, primarily through the views it compiles on Youtube, like and shares it gets on Facebook, and re-tweets on Twitter. I mean you're talking about two of the top 10 most visited websites in the world and one that's just outside of the top 10(Twitter)[1].

With this in mind, I fully expect to be doing a lot of promotion on numerous social media outlets to increase awareness for whatever project I am currently working on and build on my internet presence. Other than that though, I don't expect my use of social media to really change, I still expect to use it to keep in touch with friends and get into political arguments. Although I may cut back on the number of risque posts on my timeline.
