I really enjoyed the lecture on marketing myself. Everyone has a different approach, and I think I'd do best by going to plenty of social events and festivals to meet as many industry peeps as poss. Sometimes I have really off days when I network face to face and I worry I come off as a dumbarse. Having said that, I think I'm not terrible at it and I find online networking incredibly frustrating, especially when they don't reply.
I will MARRY face to face networking and social networking by meeting people at events and then instantly following it up on LinkedIn, which I ain't been doing so far.
Regarding my website, I'm generally happy with it as it is but I could stand to revisit it a little down the line. I want it to be my primary self-marketing tool as a link to me 'gram, me LinkedIn and me Vimeo. My problem with it right now is my visibility. It doesn't show up on Google so I need to take some time with search engine optimisation to ensure that CHRISTOPHER HARRY is the ONLY thing on Google worth looking at. I will also link it on my other social accounts to increase the sense of connectivity.
Instagram I find is a useful tool at networking events as a sort of instant portfolio to hand, where I can whip out my phone and immediately show people what I'm working on and what my films look like.
