 Do you communicate through pictures or writing?

  1. Pictures, they tell the story for you.
  2. Writing, but it is nice, quick, and straight to the point.
  3. Writing unless I have a lot of pictures that tell the story all together.
  4. Pictures, but I like to add a caption to spice things up.

  How often are you online?

  1. All the time.
  2. A couple times a day to get quick information.
  3. A few times a week
  4. Daily, just to keep in the loop.

   How perfect does your post have to look before it goes online? (on a scale of 1-4)

  1. Perfect? nope, just has to be quick and easy.
  2. It has to look polished but is more about the big idea.
  3. It has to look nice but also can be a little crazy from time to time.
  4. Has to look nice and represent a perfect world.

  When you use social media how many people do you want to reach?

  1. Only a few for one conversation but I have multiple conversations going on.
  2. Anyone and everyone.
  3. All my friends to let them in on the what is happening in my life.
  4. All of my followers
