      Clear and concise goal.

      Do you think your focus is likely to change as you age and mature? How might you prepare for this sort of evolution?

      Well stated.

      I might make one minor switch by moving item #4 to item #5. It makes more sense chronologically if it's there.

      Your five sentences are concise and to the point. This makes it easier to convey. Nice work.

      In particular, using Google docs and chat will allow your group to write posts collaboratively if you choose to move in this direction. In other words, it allows you to share the editorial responsibilities as well as the writing responsibilities. Does that help?

      Using a FB group also makes sense, but it will not replace GDocs for collaborative writing.

      Analyzing your traffic is a great habit to get it into. It will allow you to experiment with different promotional strategies and easily check to see if those strategies seem to be working.

      Your excitement is infectious.

      Recruiting people with different skills is advisable. Communities are formed around people with varying strengths. This also creates a solid foundation for continued learning.

Zombie Town Proposal | AU COMM Studies - 2 views

      The steps you have here a do a pretty good job of planning your process. You might also want to consider creating a draft of these sentences to recruit to your project. For example, distinguish between the plan and the description of the plan.

      Think about how and why you are using Lost Zombies. Spend a little time describing that too.

      One social media strategy that might be useful is the flash mob idea. I have a book you can reference for this concept if you like. Of course, flash mobs can also be risky since there is no guarantee of participation.

      Be more specific about how.

      What is the purpose for you? Expand your ideas here. If you say this well it can become your pitch.
    • Chad Harriss
       
      The second draft I suggested above should capture the pitch you construct in your five sentences. In short, the reader of this proposal should get excited about your idea. What you have created so far is a fairly solid plan of action, and that is absolutely necessary for success in this area. Now try to really capture your idea in a five sentence pitch that will make others want to take part in your idea.

      Is there a way that you might envision this space as a communal location? In other words, how might you get experts in the field to contribute to your growth? The blog is a good start, but how will you drive traffic to it? What will that traffic be encouraged to do once they are there?
    • Chad Harriss
       
      It might also work for you if you simply find more pre-existing communities and figure out a way to become part of one or more. In other words, don't underestimate the importance of creating a personal brand for yourself if you hope to pursue this career.

      Provide the reader with a link to that website so we can see it. I might also recommend finding others doing something similar to what you have proposed. Evaluate what these guys are doing. Also, aren't you and Griffin combining efforts? If so, then rework your proposal as a combined proposal. As I mentioned, I might also talk to Joe since he's doing something similar to you guys if I am not mistaken.

      Think about all potential audiences and define them more specifically. The more fully your definition of your audience is the better sense you will have of how to reach that audience. Different audiences may require different strategies. I think the sports agent audience can certainly be one, but there are others. Tailor your content in such a way that you can generate awareness of and interest in your efforts.

      D & E can both be used to really pitch your idea. Think through these questions more carefully. Think of this in the same way that you might apply for a job. This is your opportunity to sell yourself. Would you buy into you based on your responses?
    • Chad Harriss
       
      Take a look at some of the example Drumbeat proposals in the Drumbeat blog. Punching up the content in section #2 will help. I think your ultimate goal is to advance yourself in respect to eventually becoming a sports agent. There are a lot of ways to accomplish that goal using social media and web-based media. Think through all of the technologies that we've experienced. What do you need to do to achieve your goal? What technologies can be used to advance that goal? For example, this occupation will eventually require a law degree with a focus on contract law. Can you begin learning the basics now? How can social media help you collect, organize, and retrieve what you have learned or hope to learn. I am not suggesting that you change the project entirely, but based on your goal you ought to think carefully about what will be the best use of the technologies we've discussed for your purposes. Is the blog it?

      Excellent graphic. Take a look at your process. What can you replace blog with or add to blog to help you achieve your goal.
