It was just over a year ago when I received my community college class catalog in the mail. In it was a class to learn about the industry of voiceovers. I signed up for the class and the rest is history.
After 4 months of professional training with voicecoaches.com I was ready to hang up my shingle. Serge Traylor the Voice Actor was ready for business. This has been a fantastic year. I have learned more than I ever thought I could in a short time. I learned tons about the VO industry (the importance of a home studio these days), but more importantly I learned quite a bit about marketing.
I have been in the marketing profession since 2000. However, this adaptation of social media has been enlightening and educational. I attribute much of what I have learned to starting this business. I have had to learn how to create a website (with the help of my talented artist Aunt's help), I have learned how to market via SEO. I have learned how to market myself via social media platforms.
I am by no means an expert yet however I am consuming information daily to make this voiceover business the best on the market. I don't want to just be a voice for you, I want to be able to assist in your total marketing mix. I hope to do business with you in 2010, and while we are working together, I hope to share with you some of what I have learned in 2009 about marketing in today's world.
Thanks to everyone for your words of encouragement, your willingness to lend a hand and your sharing of your Rolodex. I am eternally grateful and plan on paying it forward by helping others in 2010 and beyond.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.
Serge
