Graphic/web/interior designer:
Graphic, web, and interior designers might use
Tumblr as a place to show-case their abilities and attract new customers. As a de-
signer, you could easily include a gallery of your designs along with customer
testimonials and information about how to contact you for new projects.
Jeweler/craftsperson:
With the popularity of hand crafted jewelry, crafts, and fur-
niture (and websites where you can sell your products, like Etsy), having a non-
shopping-cart place to virtually display your work puts the emphasis on your craft
and skills as an artisan, not on anyone's pocketbook.
Musician/bands:
Musicians can greatly benefit from Tumblr's fast and effective
ways to share information with fans. You can post MP3 audio files and videos of
new tracks along with other relevant information such as reviews of recent per-
formances, show dates, and photographs of band members.
World traveler:
If you've been bitten by the travel bug, Tumblr is an excellent plat-
form for sharing your adventures from around the world. Post photos, travel logs,
diary entries, conversations, video clips, and audio bites to highlight where you've
been, who you've met, and what you've seen.
Sports enthusiast:
Sports lovers can use Tumblr to draw attention to their own
skills and accomplishments, the skills of a team they belong to, or even a team
that they follow closely.
Writer/poet:
Looking for a venue to share your poetry? Writers and poets can use
Tumblr as a place to share their talents as writers. Publish poems, short stories,
and chapters to larger projects, or simply expound on ideas that aggravate or in-
spire you.
Film buff:
If you love film/television and want to weigh in with your thoughts and
analysis on that topic, use Tumblr as a platform to share things like movie re-
views, links to movie trailers, and photos of your favorite actors.
Cook/baker/chef:
If you love to cook, you can use Tumblr as a place to share your
favorite recipes, along with step-by-step instructions and photographs showing
how to make your favorite foods. Food blogs (especially those with photographs
of delicious looking food!) are extremely popular on Tumblr, often attracting many
followers.
