2010 has been an interesting and fruitful year for yours truly, as it involved a lot of changes, personally & professionally speaking.
We started redesigning TheNewlead website which we're aiming to launch by the first quarter of the next year. I got to dabble in user interface & web design in general which was quite a challenge because we had to think like our users and to generally think of three kinds of users:
1. our active, registered members
2. frequent visitors who are mostly doing
research and
3. the lurkers who are new visitors who either
are just curious or have accidentally landed on
our page
Hopefully, the newly revamped TheNewLead website would be a delight to use as we aimed it to be more user-friendly, easily understandable and pleasing to the eye. We also changed the logo and the layout of our website, so even though we retained some functions from the old, current site, everything will come off as new, highly improved and a whole lot better with the new website.
Of course, the same services apply to the new website:
Plus a new feature which we hope would encourage other TheNewLead members to become more active in the website. It involves getting a whole lot of fresh, new contacts.
This has also been a starting year for us in social media marketing. It might seem easy for constant users of Facebook, Twitter, Blogger and other social media sites but using it for marketing can be quite tricky, compared to just using it casually. Social media marketing is forever changing and there's always a new thing to discover everyday. I've started getting active in Linked in and it's such a continuous, enlightening experience as not only do you get to connect with people all around the globe, you also get to discuss with them your professional issues, the topics you're interested in, as well as learn from so many people of different races, culture and designations. But most importantly, you get to find prospects, interact and learn more about your existing clients.
This past year has been a tremendously educational year for me and I hope to discover and learn new things from all sorts of people. Hopefully, 2011 would bring more challenging and fruitful endeavors that would lead to more genuine connections, more awesome clients and most importantly, more success to our professional and personal lives.
I hope everyone had a joyous holiday and lets welcome the New Year with a confident , optimistic stance, an honest smile on our faces and a light, happy heart. And everyone who knows Black Eyed Peas, sing with me! "I got a feeling, that tonight's gonna be a good night!"
Happy New Year Everyone! Lets all have a great year ahead!
