Hi Everyone,
I wanted to talk this week about some tools that will help to get your work out there and that way people will be communicating with you about getting work done. I personally think when you present your work to anybody professionally and clean it will give a better opportunity than anybody else to get the job, gig, etc. As personal experience, I have my portfolio as a Digital Media Producer with a company that has template for making portfolio of any source, its free which is the important part, because when your starting in the entertainment is hard to just pay for a lot of stuff without making any income. That's why I make my portfolio with wix, because they have a lot of templates and they are easy to manipulate as well, and is completely free. I can design my own websites but I prefer this, since I have no income to pay for web host or domain. The websites I have built, you can click HERE to see it, is basic but it represents all the work I have done at school during my two years doing my BFA. You will be able to create a website for free and put your website in Facebook, Twitter, etc. Make sure that you always share a lot your work on the web, be your our social media assistant for your company, who else than you know what is best to show and how to show it out there. Nobody will be able to talk to people about the stuff you love like you will, because is your passion, what you love doing and you live to do. Try to at first use all the social media publishing you can use to share your work and company. Also make your own business cards too and try to give them to people when you talk about it or ask for their address and send them a personal note and your business card and that way they will know your a person who is trying and who is interested in been their designer, photographer, filmmaker, musician, music producer/manager/etc or just somebody to get a job in what you love.
Good Luck,
Sangerald
Chasing a dream demands from visionary people, (1) planning a course of action, (2) setting clear objectives, and (3) identifying resources to make the dream a reality. It starts as a result of a passion, where a connection of images allows us to experience the certainty of something we hope for, and the belief of something that does not exist. When reality knocks on the door, many of us have had to wake up from our sleep because faith and hope are not enough resources to make our dreams come true. By definition, a resource is the source of supply from which benefit is produced. Money is listed as an example of a resource, and the lack of this source of supply has been the reason why many individuals have not yet benefit to see their dreams fulfilled. Knowledge is power! The knowledge you imparted me with your blog post has become a great tool. A tool that will become a source of supply to benefit my organization with allocating resources that will help us with the challenge of overcoming the lack of financial resources to fulfill our mission and finally set our website.
