WEEK 9 BLOG: The continued popularity of video tutorials and hand-drawn recipes

As we enter week 9, my observations have consistently shown that video tutorials and hand-drawn recipes are the most sought-after forms of content within our community. In this week's publication, I combined these two formats with remarkable success. Not only has our group witnessed a surge in membership, but the viewership of our posts continues to rise steadily. This further validates the enduring appeal and popularity of these topics among our community members. Therefore, if we aim to foster growth within the community, it is crucial to cater to user preferences by delivering themed content (Zhou, T. ,2011).

Through careful observation and analysis, I have decided to maintain focus on video instruction and hand-drawn recipes for our upcoming group topic. These types of content not only facilitate comprehension and implementation but also fulfill everyone's desire for simple yet delectable dishes that are easy to learn. Concurrently, I will persistently refine and enhance our community based on principles acquired through classroom learning as well as personal research findings.

In addition to content selection, I also prioritize member interaction and engagement levels within the community. By applying principles learned in class alongside my own insights, I will actively encourage discussions and communication among members while attentively considering their feedback and comments. Consequently, appropriate adjustments and improvements will be made accordingly (Kim, A. J., & Johnson, K. K. ,2016).

As I establish and nurture my community further, continuous evaluation and reflection regarding application of community-building principles remain paramount. Any mistakes or challenges encountered will be thoroughly analyzed in order to determine strategies for improvement in subsequent endeavors. Ultimately, theoretical knowledge combined with independent research outcomes will serve as a foundation for providing support and guidance towards the development of my own thriving community (Preece, J. ,2000).

In general, based on careful observation and extensive practice, it has been determined that video tutorials and hand-drawn recipe illustrations are the most widely embraced forms of content within the community. Simultaneously, it is also acknowledged that active engagement and participation from community members play a pivotal role in fostering community growth. By continuously acquiring knowledge and refining strategies, endeavors will be made to establish a more comprehensive and dynamic community.
