New Template! Portfolio Performance Improvement Matrix

The 21st Century has embraced social media, online marketplaces and technology at large with open arms. Everyone who is anyone in modern society has an online presence. With this comes a personal brand – whether you like it or not. The inescapability of personal branding raises the question: do you want your online reputation to simulate a life of its own or do you want to control its narrative? With the proliferation of online resources, marketplaces and social media networks, it has become essential for everyone to embrace personal branding as lovingly as they embraced its predecessors.

Successful personal branding is what will differentiate you from your competition and allow you to build trust and positive relationships with your content users. Building a personal brand is a constant process – there is always room to improve, develop, and grow. Stagnancy is the enemy. And your personal Eloquens portfolio is not an exception to this.

As useful as ever, Eloquens Academy has come to the rescue by creating a Best Practice Portfolio Performance Improvement Matrix Template.

To help authors grow their personal portfolio, Eloquens Academy and SkyRocket have joined forces to create a PowerPoint and Excel Model enabling you to map your portfolio of priced best practices. Consequently, you can analyse, strategize and then improve your personal channel for maximum results.

Over a given time period (3 months, 30 days, 7 days…), its goal is to map your portfolio on 3 dimensions in order to show…👇

  1. The amount of money you make for every 100 people that view the page of your Best Practice. This is the X-Axis which uses the simple formula of Level of USD / 100 Views. This is a good indication of Best Practice Quality. The higher the better. Your portfolio will be rated one of the three levels – High, Average, or Low.
  1. The conversion rate over a given time period (Number of Sales / Number of Views). This is calculated on the Y-Axis. Whilst this can also reflect the quality of your Best Practice, higher conversion rates tend to also highlight Best Practices that are properly marketed (meeting demand, great Best Practice description and presentation, reviews etc.). Again, your portfolio will be rated one of the three levels – High, Average, or Low.
  1. The money you have made per Best Practice over the selected time period. This will be reflected in the Bubble Size by calculating Sales in USD / Time Period.

The combination of the X-Axis and Y-Axis leads to 9 possible categories of actions:

STARS – High Level of USD / 100 Views X High Level of Conversion -> increase traffic to grow sales (SEO optimizations, bloggers, social media, third party websites, YouTube videos etc.).

HIGH POTENTIALS – High Level of USD / 100 Views X Average Level of Conversion -> Optimize Marketing (Optimized Video Presentations, Better Screenshots, Upgraded Description, Re-wording of Best Practice title etc.)

PANDORA’s BOX – High Level of USD / 100 Views X Low Level of Conversion -> Increase Marketing (New Videos, New & Better Screenshots, Longer Description, Re-wording of Best Practice title etc.)

UNDERPRICED STARS – Average Level of USD / 100 Views X High Level of Conversion -> Optimize Price (Try increasing Price by 10 to 30%, adjust differences in prices between licenses)

STRONG PERFORMERS – Average Level of USD / 100 Views X Average Level of Conversion -> Optimize Price, Marketing & Best Practice

UNPOLISHED GEMS – Average Level of USD / 100 Views X Low Level of Conversion -> Upgrade Marketing & Optimize Best Practice (Quality of Content, Explanations, Layout, Colours etc.)

NEW GEMS – Low Level of USD / 100 Views X High Level of Conversion -> Increase Price (Try increasing Price by 50 to 200%).

RAW GEMS – Low Level of USD / 100 Views X Average Level of Conversion – RAW GEMS -> Upgrade Best Practice, Optimize Marketing and Increase Price.

DOGS – Low Level of USD / 100 Views X Low Level of Conversion -> Upgrade Best Practice or Unpublish (Kill)
