Please join the facebook page. we’ll discuss why this class is using social media.www.facebook.com/DesignOutLoud
how did this all start?
- the history of the internet as it is today!
- in web 1.0. you got millions of dollars to go build it yourself
- now in web 2.0 you work cheap and light. and ask your customers to do work for you.
- what’s next? building it with your customers; for your customers. physical real products. printing, making. everyone becomes a creator on some level.
- this is a general outline of a donut shaped social media experience
- as you all begin to have ideas about what you want to accomplish we will discuss these tools in-depth
- you probably use many of the most popular tools already
- how will what you use all fit together?
- pick from each category. listening is key! you need to be where your customers or potential customers are.
- what do you like using? Is it the most popular? Best choice?
- Reach: unique types of users exposed at least once during a given time period
- Pageviews: one page view of a particular website page.
- Unique Pageviews: Each user is counted once, instead of total pageviews.
- Bounce %: the % of users that bounce away from the site rather than staying in the site to view other pages. Measures a sites contents interest and flow.
- Time on Site: How long on average a user stays on a site or page.
- Search %: see where users are coming to your site from. Search engine optimization is key to making your content searchable by search engines.
- the most important thing is to use the tools.
- be social! answer people!
- engage them. ask them, what they think.
- most importantly, promptly respond.
- brand of video blog
- supports his job (chief program manager) his universities tv station
- interviews, conference/contentions, press pass, movie reviews (free), keeps him informed
- drives views to his portfolio of films:
- youtube, imdb, facebook page
- design blog with professional interviews (creates fans)
- design experiments (creates fans with emerging brands)
- guest bloggers (fans)
- drives traffic to their online store with their products
- they get nothing if they are not to the site. driving traffic to the site!
- stumbleupon, twitter, facebook page
- press in lots of magazines: helps that they’re in NYC. but you all can engage in email...
- no innovation here; but really cleanly done. exactly all the right steps.
- modeled themsevles (intentionally/unintentionally) after core77. blog engagement, events (huge), now a store (new to core)
- tutorials: illustrate an expertise to peers; works on perspective clients
- trends: illustrates connected to the pulse of his field
- jobs: shows he is in the know, and can afford to be selective
- goal of wdw is to filter work to his n.design studio site
- syndication in other places such as go media helps get his tutorials out in the world.
- gives things away for free: tutorials, icons, vectors, etc.
- do you do it everywhere?
- or focus your energy in one place?
- both have advantages/disadvantages
- everywhere: pro: exposed to lots of people. con: can’t focus on one thing
- focused: pro: have one succinct quality message. con: don’t get as large an exposure
- tell people about your product
- explain how it will help them
- dispel concerns “security issue of having your info online.”
- illustrate you are an expert in your field. Answers section
- drive people to your site
- community with a clear user base
- started with core: provide designers one stop shop for knowledge (blows idsa outta the water)
- provides value jobs/portfolio hosting, feedback opportunity (this is the community)
- hosts parties, conferences events
- opens a design store (portaland, OR) NEW
- keep expanding but staying true to their user foundation. this is key. its ok to expand your user group, but keep your core happy ; )
- provides an audience to people hoping to be an expert. new contributors, fresh perspectives.
- MOST IMPORTANTLY: it drives traffic to where they make money - coroflot! design store!
