Hello all!

I'm GG and I'm trying to do my own study.

I don't really know what to do so I'm kinda following the scientific method - at least what the Internet tells me it is.

The research question I chose is: How does an individual grow on social media.

I performed some basic research and found one really good source that I'm basing most of my hypothesis on.

Also, I developed a working hypothesis: Growth in social media won't happen without personal marketing or some other outreach method.

I'm about to develop some experiments but before I put more work into this... Are there any good resources I can use before continuing?

I guess I'm looking for validation or something? Maybe someone to tell me that my work isn't... Well, silly. Or redundant.

Or someone to help me create/fund the experiments. (I do plan on contacting the authors of the original study to get their input or help or something).

I don't know, I think I'm progressing, but again, I'm completely new to research and I want to be able to do it right so that I can show others.

So yea, are there any resources that y'all know of that can help me?

Hello y'all,

I'm looking for help making sure that the journal/blog I'm writing is factually accurate, modern, - or (if unverifiable) just makes sense. I'm not a writer by nature nor would I want to claim to be (Words are hard. Y'all have some serious talent), but I think that journaling my... uh... journey may help others (and myself) at some point and I want to record my experience.

My article-blog thingy is a two-part document that I'm going to be using as a business building reference. The first part is a listing of general business frameworks - Heavily based around Michael Porter's Value Chain. And the 2nd part is my personal approach to make businesses both profitable and supportive.

My question is, where can I post this for feedback? Its about a 14 page document (a lot of bullets) and my family and friends all tend to see my work with rose-tinted glasses (or they are hypercritical in areas in which they lack expertise/ are just plain wrong about). I'm not really onto the publishing/posting part of my work yet, but I don't want to keep working on it if I'm being... iuno, dumb(?).

I guess I'm looking for validation as well lol (weak sauce, I know). I've been writing alone for a while so I guess I'm also looking to connect with others to better myself as a communicator and to understand others through writing.

So, yea... Is there a place for that? A place for feedback and validation? lol. I'm realizing that those may be different places. Either way, thank you for your time!
