6 Social Media Myths that will actually harm your business

Most of the time, new business owners implement the trendy or best practices about social media marketing they read on the internet but sometimes they turned wrong. Why?
You possibly heard that quote before,
“Do not follow the footsteps of others, leave your own footprints”.
Well, it is also true for social media marketing!
We have dug deep to find the common myths which can possibly harm your business so read them carefully.

1- Too many hashtags are great:

Technically it’s true but keep in mind that quantity cannot overweigh the quality ever!
More hashtag on your post means more reach to the target audience but it is only a myth. Studies showed that 3 hashtags are sufficient for your post and more than that will make your post look like messy and unimpressive.

2- Give all of your efforts on social media marketing:

Due to its large audience, social media channels are wise and popular choice of marketing. Social media works great for branding, influential marketing and to enhance the interaction with the customers.
It is the best but not enough for the business to attract the audience effectively. So put your efforts on social media but also on other marketing platforms as required.

3- Do not share your own content:

Just like posting the quality content, educating others through informative content also adds value to your business.
Sharing own content does not mean any bad. Content having valuable information and relevant knowledge should be shared even if it is your own content!

4- Following others? No way!

Like and follow other pages similar to yours is a good start to build up relations, add credibility and attract the traffic to your business. The connecting nature of social media allows you to build your brand personality and make your business more authoritative.
Therefore not following actually damages your reputation and also keeps you away from connecting with the wide audience.

5- Frequent posting is spam:

It all depends on your content. The only target of yours should be to post optimally. It is suggested to post 3-4 times a week but if you have quality content to share and having tons of information which can benefit others then feel free to post.

6- You should always be serious on social media:

It is considered that for marketing and promoting the business, the tone should be formal. But the examples of successful business shows that adding a touch of humour or add little emotions in what you say will actually bring your audience closer to your business.
Lack of emotions on social media is like missing an imperative factor which encourages the prospects to turn into your customers.

Got surprised? But the safety devices actually expire whether they have expiry dates written on them or not. In many homes making the storage empty of expired food, medicines or other solutions is a practice which is a good habit but does you ever think that safety devices also need to be replaced with new when expired? That is why from today you should do a thorough audit of your house and check all the safety devices for their performance, if you find any defect in functioning, immediately throw it away.

Another year, another set of challenges: is it make or break for the PR industry in 2018?

2017 has been a big year for the PR industry. Not only did we witness myriad crises, campaigns and the odd fall from grace, but a number of new trends also emerged. Live-stream video, for example, grew in popularity as did the use of influencers to drive engagement. 2018 looks — at least on paper — like an unprecedentedly good setup for the PR and marketing industry. But behind the scenes, the industry appears shockingly vulnerable. Micro moments Information can be accessed faster and faster with the use of smartphone applications, notifications, and social media. According to Huffington Post, 55 per cent of the time people use their smartphones, they do so in short bursts of 30 seconds or less. Look at how US President Donald Trump communicates with his millions of followers. Bite size sound bites are what he does best, even if the content isn’t exactly worth reading. But he grabs the attention of his audience by drip feeding tiny bits of information on a regular basis. With i...

6 things we learned in our first year as a business

The first year is always the hardest. That’s one thing you’ve definitely heard before; because it’s true. You sacrifice time with family, you let your social life take a back seat and you almost certainly have trouble sleeping when every thought and feeling from the day before is swirling around in your head at 4am. But the point is - it should be this hard because the rewards of building a business are worth the ride. It’s a never-ending rollercoaster of exhilarating ascents, unexpected turns and spiraling nose dives. But we wouldn’t have it any other way. Every day, we get validation from people who love what we do. In our first 12 months, we met some of the most fascinating people on the planet and we easily learned more than we would have in 10 years. Here are six lessons we learned in our first 12 months. 1- Don’t try to be the best Being popular may have been important when you were at school. In business, the opposite is true.
