19 visual social media secrets from the pros
1. “Your story can be significantly more powerful if you’re not the only one telling it. Curate your fans imagery about your brand with your own to tell stories that combine multiple perspectives with authenticity.” – Apu Gupta, CEO Curalate @apugupta
Well, in the connected world we are a part of the audience and customers can verify everything very easy so authenticity is an important factor.
2. “Be authentic and provide value. Create content that educates your users – they will become loyal followers and genuinely engage with your content.” Melanie Perkins, CEO Canva @melaniecanva
In social media, from 10 messages posted only one, maximum two (here is the exception) can be sales related. All the others has to be valuable content for the audience to educate, engage and entertain whenever possible.
3. “Visually tasty quotes and messages are a great alternative to photos. They’re a wonderful way to engage and inspire your audience.” Ben Wong Founder Wordswag & Videohance @wordswagapp

Failing to perform the stunt in the allotted time means giving a donation to charity.

This title blew my mind this morning, but I have to say that in the affiliate marketing game any formal education has almost 0 value and the most important is to know how to do things and apply the knowledge after.
According to a new survey performed by Optimus Performance Marketing, the majority of people who make a living as performance marketers don’t have any formal training in this industry. Only 47% of the respondents said that they got any type of training or education at their school, college, university or even on the job training when it comes to this industry.
Today I had one of those mornings: woke up at 5AM, went on the beach at 5.15, started my meditation and healthy breathing routine immediatly, then the exercises for the back muscles, jogging and swimming, everything until 7 AM. In the process, I’ve witnessed the beauty of the sun rising, saw few hundreds of crabs being nurtured by the sun and frightened by me approaching, was saluted by many small fishes which came veeery close to me and felt very alive.
While being laid down on the sand I’ve reconnected with Mother Earth and was grateful to live another day.

I felt guilty many times over of not even be present to the real beauty of the world around being caught in various negative patterns, worries about survival, business development, challenge overcoming and so on. Of course, this is a general problem to many people who want more for them and others but … simply I can’t take this as an excuse.
