the consumer to connect as well as share their part of the story with other people with similar
interests and backgrounds. With this, the learning is based on understanding the different
forms of subjects in the effective manner, where the course is effectively being able to cover

In future, I would like to work for the social networking for the business in the new

every part of people's lives. Websites like Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and Twitter along
with many other social networking sites have taken over the internet completely (Hamid et
al., 2015). I think people should perceive social network as a part of an extension of different
networking activities that one can be part of the big world (Johnson, 2016).
Objectivity of what happens in the learning process

cons of social media in business usage: -

such challenges via effective usage of optional perceptions.

media along with different offering the ideal network-based facility for the
organization.

media. This further serves as the most efficient promotional technique and it helps in
attaining the superior business options for the present business to grow at a level. The report
also states that the cross geographical influence serves as another obstacle to the promotion of
products within diverse countries (Johnson, 2016). The process of execution of social media
network helps in becoming simple for the company to promote the product with the help of
social media. I also analysed with the research that different features that are part of social
media can be deemed to be website related promotional principle along with extra-ordinary
dissemination of belief along with so many contacts that take place by different effects of
social media.
Explanation of learning process
There are so many forms of challenges which show that within the usage of the social
network of a company and there is a number of reinforcement based on planning as well as
designing which is needed. There are a specific set of challenges within the viewpoint of
marketing as a part of getting the information on the internet which can be deemed to go
completely out of control in addition to serving the important factors of business
understanding (Johnson, 2016).
