My goal for this course was to get a better grasp on marketing in the digital realm for things like social media and my website. While making a plan for the marketing campaign.

This course has helped with that and more, I feel I understand how to assist my marketing team with a well laid out plan of action for the business.

I learned a to but monitoring traffic and KPIs are what I really took a lot from during this course.

I am already in the process of using what I have learned into use. I have made a marketing plan for a studio I am working for currently and they lose my presentation for moving forward.

This month has been dedicated to digital marketing and reassessing my portfolio for job submissions. So far I haven’t put much together but I plan this week to sort through all of my past projects and pick ones I want to show off.

This last month has been interesting and has given me the ability to work on my personal brand and the development of by my businesses branding. We have learned how to identify the strengths of our brand and make those key points even stronger. I now know how to present my brand and make sure that the story and values that matter the most to me are represented in my business.

This month I have been learning how to properly manage a team and a project from start to finish. I have learned how to budget, manage a team, resolve conflict, be efficient, and plan for every aspect that may arise in a project. The project I worked on was planning an album for recording start to finish. I feel this was a good exercise to help me plan in the future. I should now easily be able to schedule and plan for recordings in the future.

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
