Tentative results
Total Views in 24 Hours: 217 Views Total Replies: 3
 * Posted Links:**
 * NB: Total views counted is just an estimate, not all sites show how many views for each post.


 * Creative Project Summary:**

This creative project was more difficult than expected. There were several factors that were not considered when writing the Mini Action Plan. One issue was the strict posting rules by websites. Some require payment, others require a member to make a certain number of meaningful posts/messages before allowed to post an advertisement, flyers/banners and even sometimes links not allowed within a post, or require approval before posting.

Another issue that was not thought of before writing the creative project metrics is that not all websites post the number of times a post is viewed. This made it hard to fulfill the metrics. Without knowing how many viewers of a post there were, it made comparison difficult. For this reason, the metrics had to be amended. So the goal was to get 50 views in total. We got 217 views in total from 3 different websites. One website is waiting for approval. Two websites do not show how many views it got.

Because Triangle Yume completed the Creative Project at the end of the month, it is difficult to compare the number of job inquiries to Lifebushido to the average each month because it has only been one day. My suggestion is for Triangle Yume to return later at the end of July for an update. To see how many job inquiries Lifebushido had in 1 month from June 30 to July 30. Our goal is to have an above average number of job inquiries for Lifebushido.

In summary, Triangle Yume's Creative Project brought awareness to people about Lifebushido and what it has to offer. We got 200+ views! Focusing our project on Stay-at-Home parents was challenging, but we still got the word out. I think it would have been much easier to spread the Lifebushido Vision to the general public, and that's a lesson learned. Overall. it was quite an experience and we look forward to more results.
