Daniel J Blakely
                As I began to research about Daniel J. Blakely who is in my social media communications class I realized how hard to was to find all of his different platforms that he uses through social media because his usernames for certain platforms are different for others. For example his face book name is DJ Blakely instead of Daniel Blakely.
https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xaf1/t31.0-8/s960x960/10864007_10203843268457891_4297751907394509995_o.jpg                The first big trend that I noticed just from looking through all of the different posts and pictures that he has posted throughout all the different platforms that he uses is that he loves to travel to exotic places, usually somewhere that has a beach or places where he can go out in nature in the mountains and do adventurous things such as going rock climbing or even going to the beach to be involved with the sea animals and get pictures with them. Also through the pictures I noticed that he is motivated from inspiring short quotes, for example: “hardships often prepare ordinary people for an extraordinary destiny.”  From posting inspiring quotes and sayings leads more people to like your posts and more people will start to follow you throughout your platforms because they are uplifted and enjoy when they read or see any of the comments or posts that are being displayed on your platforms. People will continue to follow you if you will post uplifting, and adventurous things instead of posting about challenges that you are facing in your personal life. It was good to see that Daniel stays away from leaking his personal life into social media. I firmly believe that social media isn’t somewhere we should freely be posted about personal problems going on in our lives. As well as an enjoyment to different television shows and also Disney movies. He also had quite a few pictures of space in his collection of sports which tells me that he is interested in the earth’s atmosphere and is astonished by how it was created alongside with the nature of this earth.
Another trend that stood out to me is that he enjoys giving credit and shout outs to different people throughout his profiles. For example he posted a picture and comment for one of his good friends that just barely made a book for children. He does a good job by advertising for his friend’s talent in making children books. He highly recommended this book and even attached a link to where anyone could buy this book which was a link to Amazon. Advertising is huge now a days and Daniel is doing incredibly well with his resources in social media by posting and making comments to help others to be recognized through his social media platforms and it’s a great way to show friends, family, and all acquaintances that you care about what they are doing and wish the best for their success and also letting them know that you are willing and want to be a part of their lives and helping them to succeed.
Some other trends that I found is that he has lived in Utah his whole life and has stayed here for college as he is attending Utah State University, but loves to travel so I perceive that he will move from Utah after his college career so that he can explore the world more. I couldn’t find any information on where he has or is currently working and no high school that he went to, so Daniel Blakely likes to keep himself private from the social media world.
