Don't forget about shooting for yourself (not nec. just for portfolio, but to play creatively that might end up in portfolio). As for the points thing, I think that would definitely be helpful for some people and I have never heard of any such system. You now have all you need to write your first book! -Leslie Mark:

One approach could be similar to the healthy eating campaigns. In this case it would be three marketing activities a day instead of eating 5 fruit or vegetables a day. One could be even more sophisticated in giving more points to a personal email than a broadcast email blast. Has anyone come up with a list of the most valuable marketing activities? I can image a scale where you would shoot for 10 points a day and an in person appointment would be worth 10 points and sending out a 500 person email blast would be 10 points as well. Has anyone done something like this or should we create the system? Here is my first draft of marketing activities. Update website Edit/design new portfolio Design email blast Create new portfolio image(s) Blog post Web networking post LinkedIn/Triibe/A Photo Editor comment Research of companies and names Mass emails Mass mailers Personal emails Personal marketing letters Calls for appointments Personal appointments Thank you notes Customer services marketing Generate an estimate My clinical research doctor wife suggests that I track my marketing efforts to see how I can improve results and your post at least started me thinking about what I would track.
