Time flies so fast! I cant believe it’s already May and we’ve passed almost the first semester of 2019! I’ve been pretty stoked with work and life recently that I didn’t post on this blog as often. At the beginning of this year–as always–I made a checklist of my action plan. Let’s see how many of them are already checked or in progress:
- 1. Build my portfolio website (design and content)
Status: DOING (in revision). I finished my first design in January then decided to totally change it again from the design and content as I’ve known more about the kinds of jobs that I’d like doing. Take a look at my brand new design HERE, I’ve been getting many compliments on it!
- 2. Put some content to the web that’s related to my service (content marketing)
Status: DOING (in revision). Due to the change in my content, the articles I’ve made before are not relevant anymore and I need to make new content.
- 3. Offer more service exchange (my web design for others’ copywriting skills)
Status: DONE. No more service exchange, I’ve had enough experience already.
- 3. When content is ready, set up an email list (email marketing)
Status: To-Do, still untouched.
- 4. Create some affiliate links to new and existing posts
Status: To-do, still untouched.

Status: Started, in progress. I’ve re-colored my illustration Instagram page with my color theme.
