Blogging is the new
Poetry of Our time!
People do get pretty hung up about the number of followers they have.
And sure, if you’re new on your social media channel, increasing your follower count so you move from the few hundred followers into the few thousand followers, and then beyond, you will definitely see a difference in the number of likes, shares, comments, and clicks you get.

Instagram needs no introduction. Ever since Facebook acquired the photo sharing social network in 2012, the valuation of the business has risen exponentially from $1 billion to over $100 billion.
This is obviously a big question asked by many business owners and OMG I get it all the time!

I’d seen so many people hiring in interns and their teenage relatives, and with very little information imparted about their business, handing over the keys and the passwords to their social profiles.
Argh! Were you going to try and get away with it?

In essence, this participation is needed so your social media expert can gather the information they need, and get your approval that they have understood you right.
