The Beginning

As a summary to my work, I thought it would be nice to include within both my Press Pack and on here a collection of comments that have been made about my project during, and as a result of it. I will add to the post as each video goes live on my blog, which will be happening starting on the 26th May and will be posted daily from this time. 

The main thing I wanted to achieve from this project was to inspire and help others, a task which I certainly think I've done. I've met some amazing people and have loved filming and hearing the stories of individuals. Each person has their own story, and I love how different each film has turned out as a result of this. I hope these films can continue to inspire people and help people get through hard times and stay motivated in their futures. 

Mostly, I loved learning so much more about my own story. I've learnt a lot about myself, what inspires me, what I have a passion for, and where I see my future going. I have secured myself a Full Time role within Miss Selfridge as an Online Trading Assistant, and I put a lot of that down to my hard work and dedication to what I want to do. I've grown my blog and gained so many brilliant opportunities, something I want to continue on into the future. And finally, I have discovered a lot about myself. Life isn't always about sticking to the mould. Challenging the 'norm' and the expected can produce innovative new ideas and views, appealing to an entirely difference audience and resulting in a completely different outcome. My project may not be the predicted conclusion from the brief, but in my opinion it's been incredibly successful and has benefited me in more ways than I could have ever imagined. 

Blog Analytics

I've worked really hard to improve and grow my blog through this project. Along with the incredible opportunities I've been offered, I've improved my knowledge of websites greatly and have grown my readership considerably. I currently have 392 GFC followers and 451 Bloglovin followers. Below are some more stats from my blog;

Reader Demographics and Interests

Behaviour

As you can see, my readership and views are increasing day on day, and quite drastically over a month. I love being able to see that people have viewed my blog from all over the world, it's amazing how far it's reached. I want to continue to grow these and improve my blog in the future.

Pinterest Analytics

Another platform I've been working on driving traffic from is Pinterest. I've found this really hard and despite scheduling daily tweets to my Pinterest account I haven't seen a huge increase in traffic. However, I love the platform so want to persevere. I have read many advice and tips posts on how to use it best, and am working on improving my account to make the most of it.

Twitter Analytics

TWITTER ANALYTICS;

You can see how these have grown month on month, I've really pushed twitter the past couple of months and you can see the result. Unfortunately May hasn't improved much compared to April just due to me being far too busy to keep up with the level of daily tweets that are needed.

Here are my daily twitter impressions and some tweet stats.

Of course, the days with more tweets gain more impressions, but I find a small difference in tweets makes a huge difference in impressions. Days with high impressions are when I have spent the evening reading blogs and tweeting bloggers, actively shared my posts or have taken part in hour long twitter chats which are held often. I've joined a number of these recently and find them a brilliant way to pick up tips, meet new bloggers and grow my readership. 

 Out of these statistics I've been focusing most on my Link Clicks. I gain most of these through sharing my Instagram posts on twitter, which I have an app for, however I know a lot of these come when I share posts and are from people clicking onto my blog, which is brilliant. You can see below that my Instagram tweets tend to be the most engaged tweets as visuals are often popular. Due to this, I try to involve visuals when sharing new posts. I want to experiment between sharing a few visuals and just one individual one to see which is most successful. 

I love getting positive feedback from readers, and am often tagged in #FF (follow friday) where people share their favourite bloggers & tweeters for others to follow. This tweet below came from two readers who have only recently begun following me and it meant so much.
