[note Official] We were selected for 'Today's Featured Articles,' but since I'm not good at sales, I'm looking for business partners [I tried thinking about the reasons for our selection]

I am 'Washio,' the representative and engineer of fūun, a web production company in Tokyo. An article written by one of our members was selected for note's official 'Today's Featured Articles'!!

To everyone running the official note platform, thank you for finding us—a group that seems to be howling our love from the edge of the internet to makers, creators, and users alike.

'Today's Featured Articles' refers to about 10 articles picked up daily by the official note team as recommended reads. Being selected here inevitably increases view counts, so it seems many people write on note with this as their goal.

According to the financial results for the first quarter of the fiscal year ending November 2024, the number of public content items on note is 42.59 million over three months... which means about 500,000 articles are posted per day. As a representative, I am more than happy that out of that astronomical number of articles, the article written by my company's member was chosen as something 'useful or heartwarming'.

Our company is entirely made up of introverts.

But why was our member's article selected?When I dig deep into the reasons why the official note team chose us, I arrived at this hypothesis.

Because our MBTI results are all 'I (Introverted),' we have a high aesthetic sense and high resolution regarding others.

fūun is composed of a team centered around three creators: an engineer, a web director, and an art director.

And, our MBTI results are all 'I (Introverted).

The characteristics of introverts are something like this.

In other words, rather than seeking beauty or philosophy from others, we are the type that quietly observes others deeply while keeping our own unique sense inside, and then expands upon that within ourselves. (It's embarrassing to say it myself, but it means thinking about others while maintaining one's own core.)

Let's look at other selected articles here.

Every article has a clear style and personal taste, and just by looking at the title, the atmosphere of the person and their tone comes across, doesn't it?

Furthermore, instead of ending it within themselves, they include illustrations to supplement information that isn't conveyed by the title alone, and by structuring it so that it's clear who the article is aimed at, it becomes a hook that properly reaches others.

In other words, I think that means they have a clear style and understand who that style will resonate with.

fūun is a company that handles web marketing, branding, and web production, and those areas are directly related to our work.

Through site and social media strategies, what kind of beauty and thoughts are delivered to whom, in what way, and what emotions and actions are encouraged? I believe the daily 'information organization' and 'emotional design' know-how honed in the web industry by the members who wrote this article is also being applied to article creation.

For those on note who are aiming to be picked up for 'Today's Featured Articles,' it might be a good idea to try reading a book on web UI/UX once.

Since we are all introverts, we are not good at sales

With that said, when it comes to creative work, we can go full throttle! but we are not good at business owner networking events, cold calling, 'nomunication' (drinking-based networking), email sales, etc... anyway, sales and building peripheral connections are our weak points.

Every member is eloquent on note, but in reality, even though everyone is conscious of behaving like a professional, we are the type where shyness-leaning behavior tends to peek through.

Even our business cards were created with the concept of 'conveying feelings even if you are bad at sales'. But, we are still bad at it.

Isn't there a collaboration partner who can complement us in the right place?

So, at this timing when many people are likely looking at our note, we are looking for collaboration partners who can help with fūun's sales and introduce projects to fūun.

We can do this kind of work

...With that said, 'On the contrary, all of our members are good at sales, but creative work is our weak point!', 'Maybe we could collaborate by playing to each other's strengths...?', if there is anyone who feels this way, would you like to talk sometime?

Please check 'I'd like to hear more first' from the link below, and if you contact us regarding the collaboration partner opportunity on note, I would be very happy.

Here is what 'Washio,' the representative of fūun, is like

Before we talk, if you are curious about what kind of person 'Washio,' the representative of fūun, is, please take a look at this as well.

Through creator management, while creating a place where creators can play to their strengths and be active in a fun way, I want to support manufacturing companies nationwide through the web, I am a cat-loving engineer living in Tokyo.

That is all.

As someone who promotes creator management, I want to firmly provide a place where they can be active.
