Building a Media Portfolio from Zero

A practical workshop on creating a media project with real reach — newsletter, podcast, YouTube channel, or multimedia platform. Editorial identity, growth strategy, content systems, and monetisation. Based on direct experience founding Borracha Laranja from zero to 58,000+ subscribers.

The best thing a student in media or communications can do is build something real. A newsletter with 500 genuine subscribers demonstrates more than any academic qualification. This workshop addresses the full process: choosing the right format for your interests and skills, establishing an editorial identity that is specific enough to attract an audience, building a content system you can sustain alongside your studies, growing an audience without paid advertising, and thinking about monetisation from the beginning. Every element is based on direct experience, not frameworks.

A melhor coisa que um estudante de media ou comunicação pode fazer é construir algo real. Uma newsletter com 500 subscritores genuínos demonstra mais do que qualquer qualificação académica. Este workshop aborda o processo completo: escolher o formato certo para os seus interesses e competências, estabelecer uma identidade editorial específica o suficiente para atrair uma audiência, construir um sistema de conteúdo sustentável a par dos estudos, crescer uma audiência sem publicidade paga, e pensar na monetização desde o início. Cada elemento assenta em experiência directa, não em frameworks.
