Initial Research - Audience Interests
When looking to specific audience interests, we found that topics surrounded technology. We looked
at 6 different social media sites, Instagram, Tiktok, Discord, Twitter, Facebook and Reddit. We chose
these as are they are most used and recognised social media platforms and could yield the most
useful information. These topics included games, google, general news, video games, video,
shopping, internet tools, community, internet and business, music, software and social networking.
Based on these factors we are going to focus our website on these topics, we have yet to decide
specifics but feel that sticking to what the website has said will give us the best result when it comes
to audience satisfaction.
