Writing Portfolio Page

Marketing: Action Plan

• Twitter

– Twitter reaches a lot of people, and I already

have an account with a few followers

– Focus on promoting my portfolio to start

building a reputation and “get the word out”

– Hope to gain a few visitors per tweet—any

visitors but especially people involved in media

Marketing: Action Plan

• Email

– Create an email signature with the URL to my

website

– If I am interacting with someone through email,

there’s a good chance I’d like them to see my

site

– Hope to get one or two visitors per week from

this method

Marketing: Implementation

• Twitter, Email, and later, Facebook

Marketing: Results• Twitter and Email weren’t producing

fantastic results

Marketing: Results

• …so I threw Facebook into the mix with a casual,

silly message and got much better results

Marketing: Results• 33 unique visitors• Monthly increase• Bounce rate isn’t too shabby

Marketing: Results• 32 visits through social media vs. 12

direct visits

Marketing: Results

• Most visits came from Austin and Reno

(my hometown), unsurprisingly—but I also

had visits from various other cities

Marketing: Results

• My about page had the second-most visits.

Now I feel self-conscious.

Marketing: Conclusion

• When starting from the ground up in

marketing—especially if you’re

marketing yourself—it seems like a

good idea to start with

friends/acquaintances (Facebook) to

produce the best initial results.
