What have you learned from working with a client?

Unfortunately my client was unable to meet with neither my partner or I. All the knowledge that we have of our client is from the information we have found online.

What have you learned about service to the community? What will you do with this knowledge?

Prior to the class I had already believed in the significance of community service. There is a quote that  I try to convey stated by Albert Einstein  who said,“It is every man's obligation to put back into the world at least the equivalent of what he takes out of it.”  I myself have been allotted plenty of opportunities, that without, I wouldn't be nearly as focus, driven, and fortunate. So to perform a simple task of service for another so that they in return can better themselves is time NOT wasted. Helping one help themselves is the best gift to give and the best lesson to learn.  The knowledge that I have obtained from my service is that I  have the ability and skill to helped someone.

How has your Value Proposition changed if it has? How has your knowledge/skills grown this semester? What will you do with this knowledge in the future?

       Yes, my value position has changed.  I have learned that the things that I want to change and display beyond my ability to apply to my Eportfolio. But I have learned a lot this semester, especially from dream weaver. While working on my portfolio as well as my web page for Community of Caring. For an example, I have learned the difference between responsive and non-responsive templates. Also I picked up a few tricks on how to read and change content. I know that google chrome is a great tool to practice on the template. In google chrome it highlights the areas, therefore you don't have to search for the code in dream weaver. I know it may be simple but I've learned and remembered the name of my favorite colors via code. In the future I plan, to take time to go through enough classes on code academy to really improve my web page design skills.

What will you changed about your eportfolio? How will you increase your search sngine rankability?

        I will make several changes to my E-Portfolio. Starting with the template, I would rather start from scratch than simply downloading it from a free website. It would make the portfolio more time consuming of course, but then I would not have to rearranging and changing formats.  I will add  specific projects and services that I have done and was involved in, therefore making me appealing to employers. This will include my achievements and  recommendations from professors and previous employers. The way I will increase my search engine "rankability" will be by increasing my involvement with  social network websites. As a result employers can search my name, and it will be the top candidate, since my name is so uniquely spelled ;-).

How has your SEO ranking changed since the beginnig of the semester? What have you learned from this?

SEO is search engine optimization. Search engine optimization is a strategy used to increase the traffic to a website and increase where the web page of a site is, or ranks, in a search when searched using a search engine. Search engine results are natural and you cannot pay to increase where your website or webpage appears in a search engine. You are able to increase this, however, in a way that is natural or “organic.” Sites that rank higher when searched are sites that are more frequently visited when users search something, often related, to the website/page. In order to organically or naturally increase where your page appears in a search for users, you can place keywords in the back-end of your HTML webpages. Other things that increase where you appear in a search is the use of social media.

SEO brings value to an organization because it allows users to find what they are looking for. If your site is related to what they are looking for, then it will increase traffic to your company or organization’s website. With more traffic to you company or organization’s website comes more business. You can more effectively communicate with your target audience. You could even better define who your target audience is and what segment(s) of the market you are appealing to. All in all, it helps with marketing your business to people who are looking for your product or service. This is the major benefit to your organization/company.

Search engine optimization is a tool used for website analytics. Analytics is the analysis of data and statistics of your website. The two are compliments of one another. Similar to how SAP is used for ERP. SEO and analytics are two different things that work together in order to achieve a common goal. For example, if you are in a group doing a project and the team decides to divide the tasks of the project into parts amongst its team members. Your submission (the SEO) to the over all project (the over all Analytics) is a part that is necessary to achieve the projects common goal.

SEO and Analytics could be set up for Community of Caring by using many different sources available. One particularly popular amongst businesses is Google Analytics, although this is available to users at a cost which is not very optimal for a non-profit organization. One simple way of creating SEO and analytics is to place keywords in the back-end of your HTML webpages, which naturally increases where your page appears in a search for users. Another way is to be actively involved on social media websites, creating posts, relevant statuses, or blogging.

What is your brand? What do you want people to know about you from looking at your eportfolio?

 

        My name is my brand. I am a representative of myself. My actions, words, and thoughts epitomize who I am and who I want to be. In previous blogs I have already listed a glimpse of who I am, but it is who I want to be that is paramount. I want to be a service to all mankind, by supplying them with information and tools that will retain and help restore what natural resources that are God given. Through sustainable market research I want to create greener alternatives from essentials such as food/diet to biodegradable luxuries ( PUMA and TOMS already has implemented biodegradable sneakers in their shoe line) all without drastically changing daily procedures and routines. As marketer I want to  highly advertise and promote greener living to the extent that it is no longer an alternative but a norm. I'm not naive, I know I can not change everything, at least within my lifetime. "I'm not saying I'm going to change the world, but I (want to) guarantee that I will spark the brain that will." - Tupac

This will be my mark on the world.

Everything that I have stated will  not even be remotely close to what is in my eportfolio, but it will impulse the user to stay tuned!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How can you simplify your social media posting so you do not have to go to mulitple places to post?

        HootSuite, its a social media management website. I understand that it becomes a little annoying to have multiple social media addresses with separate login in pages. Its both time and space consuming. Often times when users are on the computer, they will have to open multiple tabs to login into varies websites, whether it is Facebook, Twitter, or Pinetrest. The Same issue goes for your cellular device, so much space and gigabytes are wasted by downloading varies apps that connect individuals to their social networks. So websites such as HootSuite, have eliminated the middle man to improve your productivity. Most people tend to use the same profile and login information for their social networks anyway. HootSuite gives the user the ability to check the statuses, posts, or updates of their varies social networks with the ease of just a finger scroll.
