Guest Speaker!
During his presentation, he mentioned about building up the portfolio and letting people know how well are you with the media tools. To let people know of your work, advertising is one way. You can advertise through blog, facebook and other various social networks. You can also spread at forums, telling people about your website. Benchmark your price and it is beneficial to add social media to web (e.g: Twitter). We must also know what the client wants in his/her website.
The things that inspired me was that I got to know that he was the one who did the ‘XiaXue.blogspot.com’. The website looks ‘bling-bling’. He started freelance web design since 1999 and now he’s the CEO of a company! By designing web, he can earn like maximum of 2000 SINGAPORE dollars! For one website though.
It is useful to have a guest speaker who can inspire you to be a web designer and have a great job with GREAT money. When the ‘experienced’ person shares about tips and tricks of the trade, we get to know what we have to do and how we can improve ourselves.
-While studying, try freelance then work in a company
-Get use to the fact that people expect more
Literature Review
In the past,companies rely on crafted press releases or flashy ad campaigns to communicate with their customers. People today demand honesty with the companies which they do business. From trying to sell to customers, companies now need to use sites like Facebook and Twitter to interact with people. The most popular brands in social media tend to post less about their products as their main goal is more to engaging such that people feel more comfortable doing business with those companies.
Businesses began to see that rather than spending lots of money on traditional ad campaigns, small acts through sites like Facebook and Twitter are more valuable because people share experiences. When a customer shares about the experience, even small issues become important.
The goal to being the most popular companies in the era of social media is not to be very controlled that everyone in a company tries to strengthen. Instead, companies should give employees the means necessary to be human beings that can put a friendly face on the corporation.
It is no longer enough to have an email address and customer service number on one’s website. People want to interact with businesses via their chosen means of communication.
Back to the school days.
I got Understanding Theatre as my CDS. Too bad there is no dancing courses or any sort of thing in the CDS choice. Hopefully, I’ll become a great actress on stage. TAKING THE STAGE! I got new subjects that I’m going to learn. No more Computer System! Fuyooo! Great mann!
