While still a relatively new and enigmatic concept for many marketers, NFTs are already being harnessed by businesses at scale, driven by a desire to unlock their potential in innovative and creative ways to enhance brand engagement across various sectors.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One of the compelling aspects of NFTs is their ability to be developed as digital assets that can be associated with a brand and subsequently traded or sold by customers. This presents a unique opportunity for businesses to tap into a new market of collectors and cultivate deeper relationships with their customers. By creating verifiable collectibles that have the potential to gain widespread appeal, brands can infuse a fresh dynamic and attach it to their brand&#39;s identity, creating a unique and exclusive brand experience for their customers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Furthermore, NFTs offer valuable analytical insights, enabling businesses to track customer behavior and collect data that can be used to improve the overall customer experience. Early adoption of NFTs can provide a competitive advantage to businesses as they continue to gain mainstream acceptance.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The integration of NFTs into marketing campaigns has already yielded remarkable results for brands. For example, NFTs have been effectively used to generate buzz around a brand by incentivizing audience engagement through tokens. Norwegian Cruise Line collaborated with an artist to create NFT art pieces for the launch of their new Prima Class vessels, creating excitement and investment opportunities for their customers. Similarly, US winery Robert Mondavi launched its own wine label sold via NFTs, offering a unique and limited experience for wine enthusiasts, resulting in potential significant revenue generation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKtJ2xRnejUppt1_UGTChbWnQmGYvPerHIfJTZmVEBNrtWIqtw3C5kuCgmdhSJGENE6hOsa6XuIwrmzYp4Aem20rSyx-iUodixC0Qh5FoJIV__1y3ph7P2ZIWDFY7jS1JZz5zqI5Lixyo8PXR6DqEgITErRSJnzwQn8LxKzJTc_0Voz6VOv2WHffVjog/s1100/McDonalds-launches-NFTs-to-celebrate-McRib-return-.jpg&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;660&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1100&quot; height=&quot;192&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKtJ2xRnejUppt1_UGTChbWnQmGYvPerHIfJTZmVEBNrtWIqtw3C5kuCgmdhSJGENE6hOsa6XuIwrmzYp4Aem20rSyx-iUodixC0Qh5FoJIV__1y3ph7P2ZIWDFY7jS1JZz5zqI5Lixyo8PXR6DqEgITErRSJnzwQn8LxKzJTc_0Voz6VOv2WHffVjog/s320/McDonalds-launches-NFTs-to-celebrate-McRib-return-.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;NFTs have also proven to be effective in building social engagements. McDonald&#39;s leveraged NFTs as competition prizes on social media, resulting in high levels of engagement with thousands of retweets and comments, showcasing the power of NFTs in amplifying brand reach and engagement on social media platforms.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK1oDo0jyMbkb1HFQWroofeUPvKnAMnAwOWej1BgA5PMTX9kP0Gwd3iS8QrvPWRScrv6u4BIrsNSh5XHZjSf-FgPlZ8flhUtFfUsuQLjFiXXPmZYuv2sNkYcI0DCjoSq-hgeyK8nTb390rocGwdg3WpVgoxgKQjNn4S5LR55GdTDri2AD29db38u2w0w/s1080/BBP_Burberry22_Chain_864x1080.webp&quot; style=&quot;clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1080&quot; data-original-width=&quot;864&quot; height=&quot;206&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK1oDo0jyMbkb1HFQWroofeUPvKnAMnAwOWej1BgA5PMTX9kP0Gwd3iS8QrvPWRScrv6u4BIrsNSh5XHZjSf-FgPlZ8flhUtFfUsuQLjFiXXPmZYuv2sNkYcI0DCjoSq-hgeyK8nTb390rocGwdg3WpVgoxgKQjNn4S5LR55GdTDri2AD29db38u2w0w/w165-h206/BBP_Burberry22_Chain_864x1080.webp&quot; width=&quot;165&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;In the world of fashion, virtual merchandising has taken center stage within the NFT landscape, with brands like Burberry partnering with game developers to create branded characters that can wear in-game NFT clothing and accessories. This innovative approach to virtual merchandising not only&lt;br /&gt; promotes the sale of branded goods but also fosters loyalty and community engagement among customers in the virtual world.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Despite the market volatility and uncertainty surrounding NFTs, the emergence of Web 3.0 is expected to present brands with an array of opportunities to leverage NFTs as a means of enhancing customer engagement and conversion rates. As the landscape of digital marketing evolves, NFTs are poised to play a valuable and significant role, offering brands a compelling avenue to foster brand loyalty, engage customers in unique ways, and stay at the forefront of technological advancements. The future of marketing with NFTs is ripe with potential, and forward-thinking brands are poised to explore and capitalize on these opportunities in the coming years.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For more Information or help with your &lt;a href=&quot;https://2createnft.com/?utm_source=Bolg&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;NFT Project contact us&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8823067694896402809/posts/default/2474755927268746788'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8823067694896402809/posts/default/2474755927268746788'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.2create360.com/2023/04/nft-bridge-between-brands-and-their.html' title='NFT: Bridge between brands and their communities'/><author><name>Ron SIngh</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10494222429551516672</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_mTsQbp1Qqs03II6JWVe9Oww-bmymfr4I0yXaM3I3xZswyirdcOqZlaohACfZbqJx036dtDWQrd5iJMVe5rOdF3v1AFkwcnu5AtnVVCgDRvzpj4imNElUf9SNdQsZbH6b5aul3NXkDrXEW3-ye78YbrtUc2C25lPnW4JGW4AdOks/s220/MyImage_round.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_EVslLNSysO4XJJc7bq-KOQJZXtAZHOuPFHduNTz2RRscwcGA6LCPv_Ead8gJ32Wd9Dm-CzKEWj305eouKuIJmT9ACM3lpCfJgk0qDohoFfONl3aMbofkl-URPcoEB-q-4eWaq47jIGgxl2xmc0B5zaZCifzveX_rNsgpVts1XBb-owwS55SjD2EKlQ/s72-w640-h272-c/nft-transaction-dipped-2021-1600x680.jpeg" height="72" width="72"/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8823067694896402809.post-8699958921908659624</id><published>2023-04-17T16:34:00.004-07:00</published><updated>2023-04-17T16:34:36.892-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="AI"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Art"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Image"/><title type='text'>Top AI Image Generators for Stunning Visuals</title><content type='html'>&lt;h2 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWUvDHNJ-R8P8xaW9-SRj8_FI4G5QEkS1a7tqlCEn3n5YPJbQPIRIJareFjjeyB_aa1FPi_b8PQ25UcIzSB21Wvo3NQgwAXAYtAWqdUBqameK3Wjkm_qFxW4nXDR7H1nPXWs0n0o1Jlr6GV-k42ghHh2mJCD1RbJO85cgbBNXa8Uy457QGMpBSbzl6rg/s450/OnlineSecurity2.jpeg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;112&quot; data-original-width=&quot;450&quot; height=&quot;160&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWUvDHNJ-R8P8xaW9-SRj8_FI4G5QEkS1a7tqlCEn3n5YPJbQPIRIJareFjjeyB_aa1FPi_b8PQ25UcIzSB21Wvo3NQgwAXAYtAWqdUBqameK3Wjkm_qFxW4nXDR7H1nPXWs0n0o1Jlr6GV-k42ghHh2mJCD1RbJO85cgbBNXa8Uy457QGMpBSbzl6rg/w640-h160/OnlineSecurity2.jpeg&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Title: Top AI Image Generators for Stunning Visuals&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Are you tired of searching for the perfect image to use in your creative projects?

Web3.0, on the other hand, refers to the next evolution of the internet, characterized by decentralized networks and the use of blockchain technology. Together, the metaverse and web3.0 have the potential to change the future for future generations in several ways.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One of the most significant ways that the metaverse and web3.0 may change the future is by providing new opportunities for social interaction and collaboration. In a metaverse, people will be able to interact with each other in a virtual environment, regardless of their physical location. This could lead to a more connected and inclusive society, where people from all over the world can come together and collaborate on projects, regardless of their physical location.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4A8_opp7TSHsLWr-ZGHWRf4PWeY8RF3_0dHr4FHC5VDM_XnbEEsny5plQXzBf1_pzU5-HD3KaGI1MvzVqCArML_6sRd2opAEDi-0lT9QIJmMVUHPUdEtI6HTwPm60UU1LK73EsEttDo6gUUvRqz0IGirMtavnoUGzSM549LaoKvYivxMNSmg70Yc06g/s1080/2.png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1080&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1080&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4A8_opp7TSHsLWr-ZGHWRf4PWeY8RF3_0dHr4FHC5VDM_XnbEEsny5plQXzBf1_pzU5-HD3KaGI1MvzVqCArML_6sRd2opAEDi-0lT9QIJmMVUHPUdEtI6HTwPm60UU1LK73EsEttDo6gUUvRqz0IGirMtavnoUGzSM549LaoKvYivxMNSmg70Yc06g/s320/2.png&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another way that the metaverse and web3.0 may change the future is by providing new opportunities for learning and education. In a metaverse, people will be able to interact with virtual simulations and simulations of real-world environments, which could provide new ways of learning and understanding complex concepts. Additionally, web3.0 could change the way we access and share information, education could become more accessible and democratized.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The metaverse and web3.0 could also change the way we conduct business and commerce. The metaverse could provide a new platform for online shopping, where customers can interact with products in a virtual environment, and web3.0 could enable decentralized marketplaces where transactions are made directly between individuals without the need for intermediaries. This could lead to a more efficient and transparent economy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEju2iHQhyQE_rU5YriqodV9MnYZPkfMm4hY8_ZBvPXQ9HbcMLJ9eZcIDQX6yND9zX0ZRz6BwYcmqOJh3iThAaiZBdoh_yMPRIdfuOC6i-wiekLamqOy89wJaXJ0lscpCgvIjyGW-kgdC09Nz_m4uwJPBpF0U2ZvuLL492J-bidkSPa8glPfYnE4P1Q80g/s1080/6.png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1080&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1080&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEju2iHQhyQE_rU5YriqodV9MnYZPkfMm4hY8_ZBvPXQ9HbcMLJ9eZcIDQX6yND9zX0ZRz6BwYcmqOJh3iThAaiZBdoh_yMPRIdfuOC6i-wiekLamqOy89wJaXJ0lscpCgvIjyGW-kgdC09Nz_m4uwJPBpF0U2ZvuLL492J-bidkSPa8glPfYnE4P1Q80g/s320/6.png&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the other hand, the metaverse and web3.0 could also have negative impacts on society. The increased use of virtual reality and online interactions could lead to a decrease in face-to-face interactions and a rise in social isolation. Additionally, the increased use of virtual environments could lead to an increased risk of cybercrime and online fraud.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Overall, the metaverse and web3.0 have the potential to change the future for future generations in both positive and negative ways. It will be important to closely monitor the development of these technologies and take steps to mitigate any negative impacts while maximizing the positive potential.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8823067694896402809/posts/default/1176365702709273543'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8823067694896402809/posts/default/1176365702709273543'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.2create360.com/2023/01/metaverse-web3-future-awaits.html' title='Metaverse &amp; Web3: The future awaits'/><author><name>Ron SIngh</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10494222429551516672</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_mTsQbp1Qqs03II6JWVe9Oww-bmymfr4I0yXaM3I3xZswyirdcOqZlaohACfZbqJx036dtDWQrd5iJMVe5rOdF3v1AFkwcnu5AtnVVCgDRvzpj4imNElUf9SNdQsZbH6b5aul3NXkDrXEW3-ye78YbrtUc2C25lPnW4JGW4AdOks/s220/MyImage_round.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi22SQhoQida6tztS7bvXa8LmlxJwawZnZ6jhFkmi_8R0BLLzp4cu029uVlObn6I8_IfYDuYJrs1cLktVilenU6XUVvMD4UKlheXWvl19lnliNVEcnnFYhj6udbMWfWRpx-cmZ9sJOBZXSWfeO_dB1QYW8B0DWRD4xM7Ck2x_5BRjOWfaLUel7xNk6JgQ/s72-w342-h342-c/1.png" height="72" width="72"/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8823067694896402809.post-7917587485469807543</id><published>2023-01-17T09:45:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2023-01-17T09:45:40.017-08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Digital Strategy"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Digital Transformation"/><title type='text'>Digital Transformation: Key to Growth and Survival.</title><content type='html'>&lt;h2 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRkzcBvfpl-1XoQQldGB3uehp6qUCCxgInRBpvZudf5PnAHOjRUwq8akWS2O60vJYWZZXESGdK22nvfwC29XVnJWcZvrbZWl71A32Sdl7Md-S98Db6VwoySNefyNCvS1tGfoNd9XeDQ-1yX1bnd110Q9LfawVVQuORQlnrZedzMr1AZWY0gqESI-Eg-A/s1280/pexels-plann-4549414.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;853&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1280&quot; height=&quot;310&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRkzcBvfpl-1XoQQldGB3uehp6qUCCxgInRBpvZudf5PnAHOjRUwq8akWS2O60vJYWZZXESGdK22nvfwC29XVnJWcZvrbZWl71A32Sdl7Md-S98Db6VwoySNefyNCvS1tGfoNd9XeDQ-1yX1bnd110Q9LfawVVQuORQlnrZedzMr1AZWY0gqESI-Eg-A/w623-h310/pexels-plann-4549414.jpg&quot; width=&quot;623&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Digital transformation is the process of using technology to fundamentally change how businesses operate and deliver value to customers. In today&#39;s digital age, it has become increasingly important for businesses to embrace digital transformation in order to thrive and grow.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One key way that digital transformation can help businesses is by increasing efficiency and automation. By replacing manual processes with digital ones, businesses can reduce the time and resources required to complete tasks, freeing up employees to focus on more strategic, value-adding activities. For example, using digital tools to automate accounting and financial processes can save a business significant time and money.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Another way that digital transformation can help businesses is by providing new and improved ways to interact with customers. With the rise of digital channels such as social media and e-commerce, businesses now have more opportunities than ever to engage with customers and build relationships. By leveraging these digital channels, businesses can gain valuable insights into customer preferences and behavior, which can be used to improve products, services, and marketing strategies.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Digital transformation can also help businesses to scale and expand by providing access to new markets and customers. With the ability to reach customers globally via the internet, digital channels have made it possible for small businesses to gain access to new markets and customers. This can help businesses to grow and scale by increasing their customer base and revenue streams.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Another way that digital transformation can help businesses to scale and grow is by providing access to new technologies and platforms. With the fast-paced development of technology, businesses can now leverage new tools and platforms to improve their operations and gain a competitive advantage. For example, using cloud-based services can enable a business to scale its operations quickly and efficiently without having to invest in expensive IT infrastructure.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In conclusion, digital transformation is essential for businesses that want to thrive and grow in today&#39;s digital age.

For example, DAOs will need a legal status in most places around the world if they&#39;re going to work properly. Regulators are racing to keep up with how quickly Web 3.0 innovators are moving. They&#39;ve marginally kept an eye on what has been happening so far, but there is still a lot of work that needs to be done before the future of the Web becomes clearer. Businesses shouldn&#39;t wait too long to start thinking about how they can integrate decentralized technologies into their business. Here are a few ways to prototype your initial steps into this new world of work:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;auto&quot;&gt;In order to create a better and more adaptable business, DAOs can help professionals without boundaries transcend their limitations. Consider creating a DAO that enables the broader community of stakeholders in your business to participate in promoting your brands or crowdsourcing ideas for innovation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;auto&quot;&gt;Increasingly, people are turning to companies who have ESG goals outsource them to a DAO governed by their company stakeholders. This is an exciting development, as it means that people working together can achieve major social and environmental goals..&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;auto&quot;&gt;Identify opportunities and use cases in your core processes where the gradual transition to metaverse will add value, and include them in your digital transformation agenda.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;auto&quot;&gt;The Web3 technology will change the way things are done in an organisation. Are you and y our business ready for that?&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8823067694896402809/posts/default/5307440509036009493'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8823067694896402809/posts/default/5307440509036009493'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.2create360.com/2022/08/when-will-businesses-adopt-web3.html' title=' When will businesses adopt Web3?'/><author><name>Ron SIngh</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10494222429551516672</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_mTsQbp1Qqs03II6JWVe9Oww-bmymfr4I0yXaM3I3xZswyirdcOqZlaohACfZbqJx036dtDWQrd5iJMVe5rOdF3v1AFkwcnu5AtnVVCgDRvzpj4imNElUf9SNdQsZbH6b5aul3NXkDrXEW3-ye78YbrtUc2C25lPnW4JGW4AdOks/s220/MyImage_round.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWHfLflRPuVJ5SP2nAu5U3gkX6f0OONLfbCfbRgjfhXzrEzMHOiExaFsIR-2ePvwZlQ6vzDL9HCSbqg0_oSYERKk-U6Hehf8LP6HoHDSuxxe2OlaGuOVMgRxnS1cSUsvnA1CpG5ZGRDrU-jI5c0xWLDy0dig92f6Y6q8evCCLwctbuGRck63WKQpwekA/s72-w640-h226-c/coverpsd.png" height="72" width="72"/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8823067694896402809.post-1682101870276136725</id><published>2022-01-30T12:06:00.005-08:00</published><updated>2022-01-30T12:09:18.365-08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Crypto"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Crypto Currency"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Hardware Crypto Wallets"/><title type='text'>Worlds Most Secure Hardware Wallets Ever !</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;

Starbucks, for example, announced plans to develop an artificial intelligence-based demand forecast and logistics management system called Deep Brew. The artificial intelligence aspect of the system relies on data aggregated through the Internet of Things from the coffee company’s equipment and products, which can then be traced transparently through blockchain. Many governments have begun lending support to businesses to pursue such efforts by funding and developing the infrastructure necessary for smart cities and smart factories. As with most other technologies, the ultimate level of security that is afforded by blockchain technology boils down to decisions made during the design process. While many aspects of blockchain design, such as evaluating trade-offs among the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data, are similar to or the same as those that apply to other cybersecurity evaluations, blockchain also involves often unique, added elements such as decentralization, consensus mechanisms, cryptography, and smart contracts.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin: 0.8rem 0px 0px; white-space: pre-line;&quot;&gt;Given the relatively early stage of the technology’s development, our understanding of blockchain’s vulnerabilities and related best practices grows every day. Its nascent state of development is an important consideration when it comes to scaling applications built on top of blockchain - especially those containing sensitive data. Another important technical consideration where blockchain is involved is interoperability.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin: 0.8rem 0px 0px; white-space: pre-line;&quot;&gt;Currently, the options for communicating between blockchain systems are limited - which means often replicating or creating new siloes for information-sharing. There are several efforts underway to explore potential new commercial interoperability solutions, such as such as the open-source project Polkadot, the decentralized Cosmos network, and the Interledger network of exchanges, though they are all still at relatively early stages. Meanwhile standardization efforts, which are key to achieving cross-protocol information sharing, are also relatively immature when it comes to blockchain - and so far suffer from both limited coordination and uptake. In addition, blockchain interoperability needs to be envisioned beyond the infrastructure layer, and should involve platform considerations, like consensus mechanisms and authentication, in addition to business aspects like commercial models and legal frameworks.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin: 0.8rem 0px 0px; white-space: pre-line;&quot;&gt;www.2create360.com&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8823067694896402809/posts/default/6840020739919138233'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8823067694896402809/posts/default/6840020739919138233'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.2create360.com/2021/01/blockchain-security-and-interoperability.html' title='Blockchain, Security and Interoperability'/><author><name>Ron SIngh</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10494222429551516672</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_mTsQbp1Qqs03II6JWVe9Oww-bmymfr4I0yXaM3I3xZswyirdcOqZlaohACfZbqJx036dtDWQrd5iJMVe5rOdF3v1AFkwcnu5AtnVVCgDRvzpj4imNElUf9SNdQsZbH6b5aul3NXkDrXEW3-ye78YbrtUc2C25lPnW4JGW4AdOks/s220/MyImage_round.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9dCmCmXIwlaCCE3q6M5eble3MSYcMhhYkxtB3dCvso_LUOeJr3CCQdFnU-hSR5mxMPCqI29ryooD9opTYjR5RYkULJi8LsntbYogAHe86dmIKp386OaKn3Xw7Y6vSHbzFPqox7nR_fnMy/s72-w670-h336-c/cloud_network_blockchain_bitcoin_storage-100745950-large.jpg" height="72" width="72"/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8823067694896402809.post-2132473674868586367</id><published>2021-01-20T16:56:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2021-01-20T16:56:27.261-08:00</updated><title type='text'>AI and COVID-19</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKu3eWu7zbBytrJfnr406q9FSHTmZNVCgn-uEN9nGoD74T45LZUgy2sw_aTqWoscwUp4dlGRSixTOYEjGz6bxQdCW5ySSc2zErzoZiYnA2bl_Z-ZBh__kWczVNxuYKiTzSl4vv03T-OMwj/s959/AI.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;491&quot; data-original-width=&quot;959&quot; height=&quot;346&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKu3eWu7zbBytrJfnr406q9FSHTmZNVCgn-uEN9nGoD74T45LZUgy2sw_aTqWoscwUp4dlGRSixTOYEjGz6bxQdCW5ySSc2zErzoZiYnA2bl_Z-ZBh__kWczVNxuYKiTzSl4vv03T-OMwj/w674-h346/AI.jpg&quot; width=&quot;674&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The pandemic may lead to a better understanding and appreciation of the value of human collaboration and interaction&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;COVID-19 has had inconsistent consequences on artificial intelligence. The pandemic has stressed the extraordinary nature of AI as both a front-line technology, and one that counts on the status quo, for example. Pioneering AI systems have played a role in tackling the health crisis by following its range, detecting possible drug treatments, and scrutinizing through thousands of published papers on the topic for insights. At the same time, the pandemic poses primary challenges to AI techniques.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The version of AI now in everyday use, machine learning, relies on historic training data and adopts that the patterns recognized in that data are still pertinent. However, during unparalleled circumstances, this type of supposition can be knotty. Approaches to addressing this problem include using human know-how to recognize the places where the causal rules of the process still apply, and collecting new training data that more accurately reflect the changed conditions.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;As the pandemic lingers, we should be able to accumulate enough real-world examples of its impact to underpin AI systems that can do things like detect COVID-19 in lung scans, or automatically filter out harmful misinformation about the pandemic.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;However, we must not push aside the principles that govern AI use in our rush to address the crisis. Contact tracing apps, for example, have raised concerns about the collection of sensitive personal health and location data, and while it may be tempting to make exceptions during a crisis it may prove challenging to close these doors once they are opened. There has also been growing concern that the pandemic will accelerate the replacement of human workers with AI. While we might expect greater automation in situations where safety and distancing measures for a workplace are costly or infeasible, high levels of pandemic-related unemployment may actually reduce the cost of human labour and therefore bolster hiring in other areas.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;AI is still a relatively new technology, and its adoption requires investment and risk that companies in a crisis mode may not be ready for. And, many of the jobs most affected by the pandemic require face-to-face human interaction - the skill AI is least able to learn. It is possible that the pandemic will therefore lead to a better appreciation of the value of human contact, and new ideas about how to preserve it in the future.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8823067694896402809/posts/default/2132473674868586367'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8823067694896402809/posts/default/2132473674868586367'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.2create360.com/2021/01/ai-and-covid-19.html' title='AI and COVID-19'/><author><name>Ron SIngh</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10494222429551516672</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_mTsQbp1Qqs03II6JWVe9Oww-bmymfr4I0yXaM3I3xZswyirdcOqZlaohACfZbqJx036dtDWQrd5iJMVe5rOdF3v1AFkwcnu5AtnVVCgDRvzpj4imNElUf9SNdQsZbH6b5aul3NXkDrXEW3-ye78YbrtUc2C25lPnW4JGW4AdOks/s220/MyImage_round.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKu3eWu7zbBytrJfnr406q9FSHTmZNVCgn-uEN9nGoD74T45LZUgy2sw_aTqWoscwUp4dlGRSixTOYEjGz6bxQdCW5ySSc2zErzoZiYnA2bl_Z-ZBh__kWczVNxuYKiTzSl4vv03T-OMwj/s72-w674-h346-c/AI.jpg" height="72" width="72"/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8823067694896402809.post-6031991191316633136</id><published>2020-09-24T22:13:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2020-09-24T22:13:35.256-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Java founder </title><content type='html'>https://youtu.be/IT__Nrr3PNI</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8823067694896402809/posts/default/6031991191316633136'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8823067694896402809/posts/default/6031991191316633136'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.2create360.com/2020/09/java-founder.html' title='Java founder '/><author><name>Ron SIngh</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10494222429551516672</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_mTsQbp1Qqs03II6JWVe9Oww-bmymfr4I0yXaM3I3xZswyirdcOqZlaohACfZbqJx036dtDWQrd5iJMVe5rOdF3v1AFkwcnu5AtnVVCgDRvzpj4imNElUf9SNdQsZbH6b5aul3NXkDrXEW3-ye78YbrtUc2C25lPnW4JGW4AdOks/s220/MyImage_round.png'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8823067694896402809.post-372146829818918699</id><published>2020-09-13T11:39:00.005-07:00</published><updated>2020-09-13T11:39:26.744-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="2create360"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Digital Marketing for small Business"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Facebook"/><title type='text'> Facebook Advertising</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNSKnEVgl336oFN3OF9fEl8lvnlN5UaKZwybirpo80RxAqj9iUDMAAYiu8xjyS66rMVgGF96MPz1oCARHAl2Heo1lo8DyvBixYyrYhNas9tynpb7GGIsc04fPnba0WzhhQj1rh0Si5RaNO/s1024/Effective-Facebook-Marketing-Strategies-for-Beginners-1024x559.png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;559&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1024&quot; height=&quot;350&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNSKnEVgl336oFN3OF9fEl8lvnlN5UaKZwybirpo80RxAqj9iUDMAAYiu8xjyS66rMVgGF96MPz1oCARHAl2Heo1lo8DyvBixYyrYhNas9tynpb7GGIsc04fPnba0WzhhQj1rh0Si5RaNO/w640-h350/Effective-Facebook-Marketing-Strategies-for-Beginners-1024x559.png&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Reach highly targeted audiences at relatively low costs through Facebook Ads&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Facebook is the biggest name in paid
  2. social – and for good reason. Due to the nature of the platform and the
  3. data it collects from users, Facebook targeting options are almost
  4. infinitely detailed. This makes it an obvious choice for targeting new
  5. audiences based on interest, demographics, location, behaviour and more.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Once
  6. those new audiences have converted, Facebook ads can improve customer
  7. loyalty and repeat sales. We work with your data to create remarketing
  8. audiences to reach users that have previously engaged with your ads,
  9. been on your website or bought a certain product.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Facebook
  10. leads the way on innovation, constantly launching new tools to improve
  11. campaign performance. As a Facebook Marketing Partner Impression can
  12. test and adopt new features before they are rolled out, attend training
  13. events and communicate directly with Facebook for resources and
  14. troubleshooting.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;Facebook Advertising Services&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;Facebook offers a wide range of services to advertisers via its Facebook Ads platform including, but not necessarily limited to:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h3 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Outbound Marketing&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;Facebook’s ad network is by far the most developed of the social media advertising platforms. The average cost per click is often cheaper than paid search, yet the targeting options can be much more advanced. This makes Facebook advertising ideal for discovering new markets - test a range of variables to find the ones which work.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The quantity and quality of data Facebook holds about its users is enough to get any marketer excited. Combine this with the ability to geographically target for some incredibly cost-effective campaigns.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h3 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Remarketing&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;Using Facebook&#39;s targeting pixel provides even greater opportunities by enabling your adverts to target people based on what pages of your website they have viewed or how recently they have purchased from you. If someone has put a product into their basket, for example, we can send adverts to them within Facebook to show them that product and encourage them to return to complete their purchase.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h3 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Audience Mirroring&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;The people most likely to buy from you in the future are often those who are most similar to people who bought from you in the past.Through audience mirroring, we are able to identify similar audiences to your existing customers and market to them with targeted Facebook adverts.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h3 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Integrated Campaigns&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;Facebook advertising works really well as an accompaniment to other techniques. When your target audience is exposed to your brand across platforms, they are more likely to engage with you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You might choose to send out targeted ads to people you’ve initially attracted through SEO, or to run Lead Generation ads to expand your email marketing lists.

While we adjust to these changes as individuals, so too do the needs and wants of consumers – meaning all types of businesses must evolve faster than ever&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And as lockdown has forced many businesses to close their physical premises, there has been an inevitable spike in eCommerce that doesn’t look likely to slow down in the near future. Those businesses which were already prepared for online trading when the lockdown began are well placed to pivot as it begins to lift, but those who are not yet switched on to the digital world will have to get onboard and online as soon as possible.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The digital marketing industry has a valuable opportunity to lead the way into new forms of communication and connection, whether that is business to business, business to consumer, or even nurturing connections between individuals. But anyone looking to harness that power needs to understand how and where to start.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;SO WHAT’S CHANGING?&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;It might be more pertinent to ask what hasn’t changed?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But as we move forward and begin to leave lockdown, business owners need to understand what exactly will be different about the way we trade online as well as in the real world.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For instance, take a look at the ways in which a variety of industries and everyday practices have attempted to digitise themselves. From pubs hosting pub quizzes via Zoom, to events like food and music festivals taking place online, businesses are turning digital not just to make profit, but to build long-term relationships with their customers that secure the interest for the future.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Businesses that focus solely on profit will lose out on these relationships, and in turn will miss opportunities to build customer loyalty. And as online presence becomes ever more vital for communication, digital marketing is an opportunity not simply to sell your product or service, but to also connect with customers in more meaningful ways for the long-term.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For those looking to strike the right balance between the two, digital marketing will be the tool that drives your business post-pandemic for the short-term and long-term, allowing for adaptation, growth and ultimately, success.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So where do you start?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;DEVELOPING BRAND RECOGNITION AND ACCESSIBILITY&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;Achieving brand recognition through digital marketing may seem like a tactic better suited to large scale businesses.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But in fact, many small businesses can develop their image and raise brand awareness via digital marketing too and as it can be more affordable and accessible than traditional marketing and advertising, it contributes to levelling the playing field in many markets.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With hashtags like #SupportSmallBusiness trending on social media, it’s clear that not only are consumers relying on online sellers, but they’re actively seeking out small and often local businesses to support.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When raising your brand profile, you need to be certain about your brand image, and focus your digital marketing strategy on conveying that image to your customers. But bear in mind that your brand should not only be recognisable but accessible too – if your name is new to them, they need to be able to find out about you pretty quickly. Vital information such as operating hours, contact details and location are top priority, but the more information is available the better.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are plenty of ways to make this information available that don’t have to be complicated or expensive. Start by claiming your Google My Business profile. It’s totally free, and will appear when customers search for you online, bringing all the information we mentioned to the top of the search engine. You can also include a link to your website, if you have one.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you don’t have a website but you’re in a position to start one, it’s a worthy investment for a number of reasons. For a start, it collects all information about your business in one place and is a great chance to develop that brand image we discussed before. You can also share content that is relevant to your business, such as case studies and success stories, customer reviews, blogs relevant to your industry. You can even create an online inventory to allow customers to buy directly from your website – an invaluable opportunity in the eCommerce era.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Of course, not every business has the resources to start a website from scratch, in which case there are plenty of practical alternatives that are useful for getting your name out there, developing a brand profile, and ensuring that you are available and accessible to customers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h3 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;USER ENGAGEMENT &amp;amp; SOCIAL MEDIA STRATEGY&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;It goes without saying that a social media presence is a necessity for any business operating in the 21st century.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And in the wake of social distancing, social media has become a crucial tool for unity, connection and communication. Therefore, your social media channels are the perfect platform to distinguish your brand by proving to your customers that you are invested in more than profit.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When considering social media content, remember to be constantly aware of your brand image and the way you wish to be perceived. If you’re proud to be a local brand and what customers to see that, advertise it! Getting involved with local issues such as charity campaigns proves to customers who are looking local that you are invested in your community.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Invest in positivity too, wherever you find it. It’s great to have content that’s directly related to your products and services but sharing non-business-related content such as positive news stories keeps your name appearing on people’s timelines and builds positive associations. Just be mindful not to share too much peripheral content, as people don’t like to feel spammed.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When selecting content for social media, it’s also important to consider that the tone is appropriate and timely. The unpredictable nature of the current circumstances means that your well thought out post created on a Monday might not respond well to Tuesday’s customer demands or social conversations.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Following people and brands on social media yourself will allow you to observe these changing needs, but don’t be afraid to ask directly! Use social media as a listening tool to ask your customers what content they want to see from you, what they think of your products, and what services they’d like to see.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Customer engagement of this nature is also valuable for another form of content, and that is user-generated content. If you have a strong customer base, some forms of user-generated content will appear organically without you having to ask – users posting pictures of products they’ve received from you, for instance. Sharing this type of content from satisfied customers is great, as it reassures them that you’re invested in their satisfaction once they’ve received the product, but it acts as a testimony to your reliability and quality too.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Again, don’t feel like you should sit and wait for this content to appear – ask customers to share their thoughts and opinions with you for maximum engagement. Not only does it help you appear tuned in and invested, but it will likely yield some valuable feedback too.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h4 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8823067694896402809/posts/default/8171938580036395672'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8823067694896402809/posts/default/8171938580036395672'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.2create360.com/2020/09/how-digital-marketing-will-drive-your.html' title='HOW DIGITAL MARKETING WILL DRIVE YOUR BUSINESS POST-PANDEMIC'/><author><name>Ron SIngh</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10494222429551516672</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_mTsQbp1Qqs03II6JWVe9Oww-bmymfr4I0yXaM3I3xZswyirdcOqZlaohACfZbqJx036dtDWQrd5iJMVe5rOdF3v1AFkwcnu5AtnVVCgDRvzpj4imNElUf9SNdQsZbH6b5aul3NXkDrXEW3-ye78YbrtUc2C25lPnW4JGW4AdOks/s220/MyImage_round.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDyNJoXxSqW-0k3kho0rF1gXakfqWAV1JmkEB7rpkzo74slQECg3HWURmwfJQEoX6JZSE60Y1vuUNkeKIFRSlb2V8geBKLq4D7NFsGrt333HmmluZyWM4OePTrsfOPhxJajK3lstioJbDg/s72-w624-h356-c/BusineesIntelligence.jpg" height="72" width="72"/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8823067694896402809.post-1338974102822260676</id><published>2020-09-08T10:50:00.022-07:00</published><updated>2020-09-08T11:05:07.704-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Digital Marketing for small Business"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Digital Marketing Strategy"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Digital Strategy"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="New Normal"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Post Pandemic"/><title type='text'>Digital Marketing Strategy for Small Businesses </title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;docs-internal-guid-7ceebc46-7fff-e699-0877-638bcedbb6c3&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;&quot;&gt;Digital Marketing Strategy for Small Business.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0j7tBOIeKxpig2209mPRCppbp5iW1WM6pmLpGRC5-hlfftR-JDCdQx8oa_0tXuReOg4zwNzoIrxmYs6WVuvFBIl3lKEN1RlaA7uloovoq4Wrn2czqVv0LtJX9WK6irm6UwL28z0Ss9NTs/s1920/DM3.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1539&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1920&quot; height=&quot;619&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0j7tBOIeKxpig2209mPRCppbp5iW1WM6pmLpGRC5-hlfftR-JDCdQx8oa_0tXuReOg4zwNzoIrxmYs6WVuvFBIl3lKEN1RlaA7uloovoq4Wrn2czqVv0LtJX9WK6irm6UwL28z0Ss9NTs/w781-h619/DM3.jpg&quot; width=&quot;781&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b id=&quot;docs-internal-guid-062727b6-7fff-5676-4f3e-2ca9df312239&quot; style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Digital Marketing Strategy for Small Business.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;A well-planned digital marketing strategy helps your business stay competitive. It means your website, online store, social media channels, email communications and any other online activities are all optimised towards your business goals. Your digital strategy will include key elements such as:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Website design&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; SEO (how well do you show up in searches?)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Online advertising (such as pay-per-click)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Social media (e.g. Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Apps&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Email marketing&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Content marketing&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;What is a digital strategy?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;Your digital strategy will be a key part of your overall business strategy. Business is increasingly conducted online, so your digital strategy simply covers this aspect of your business. If your business operates exclusively online, then your digital and business strategy may be virtually the same thing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;Here are some guidelines to consider when creating your digital strategy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Plan first. Think about your customer’s perspective and what they’ll be looking for on your website. Make their journey and experience as easy and positive as you can.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Stay up to date. The internet and its associated technologies are constantly evolving. Make sure you educate yourself regularly on trends and developments, such as by subscribing to publications or attending seminars, so you can keep pace with competitors or get ahead. Also ensure that your content stays fresh and that the site is well-maintained. Online stores especially should be updated as often as necessary.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Choose your platforms. Select the social media platforms that suit your brand and are used by your target audience. Don’t feel you have to be everywhere, especially if your customers aren’t.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Budget appropriately. Some online activity may be free, but other areas can be very cost-heavy. Talk to your accountant to ensure you are spending efficiently and in line with your business plan.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Designing your website&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;Your website is more than a shop window. It should engage customers and reflect your values. It also needs to be simple to use and easy to navigate.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;Make sure the style suits the kind of business you are and the services or products you offer. That said, you shouldn’t just copy your competitors if you want to stand out. Investment in a professionally designed and built website is never wasted – professional designers can capture the right look and feel while also being unique to you, so no-one can easily copy you. You may also want to engage UX (user experience) designers to ensure your customers have the smoothest possible journey.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;Read our article Selling Online to learn more about this area.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;Social media&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;Social media can drum up interest in your business – if you get it right. Merely ‘being on Twitter’ isn’t enough – you need to choose your platform carefully, build a strategy and commit to it. Each of the major platforms has its own strengths, limitations and unique features, so choose carefully.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;Facebook&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;Ever popular with the largest user base, Facebook is great for sharing links, images and videos. It allows you to link to events, join groups and launch paid promotions. The average age of users is rising, so it’s great for older audiences but less effective for the young. Promoted content can be particularly good value for money.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;Summary: A bit old-hat, but still effective.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;Twitter&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;Regarded as the best platform for social customer service, Twitter is fast paced and reactive. Users post messages of up to 280 characters and share all sorts of content. Like Facebook, you can pay to promote content, although it’s generally not as effective for the price.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;Summary: Best for raising awareness and building contacts rather than directly marketing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;Instagram&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;This is a visual social media platform, so ideal for your videos and photos. Essentially for mobile devices, Instagram has a younger user profile, although older people are embracing it more and more.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;Summary: Particularly effective for targeting audiences with a short attention span.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;LinkedIn&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;Here’s the largest network for professionals. You can use it to add and find connections, join groups and search by company location, industry and skill.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;Summary: Essential for building B2B contacts – just don’t expect to find any customers on there.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;YouTube&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;This is a video-sharing platform with over a billion users. You can upload, view, rate, share, subscribe to and comment on content.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;Summary: Useful not just for marketing but for supporting your own products with tutorials, help videos etc. If you can post something people find useful, the potential is limitless.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;Getting started on social media&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;Once you’ve chosen your platforms, plan your social media strategy accordingly. Before you start actively marketing you may have to do a lot of groundwork, building up your followers, developing a presence and getting people interested. Engage with people, react to comments and contribute to conversations that are relevant to your business. Join groups and follow key players in your industry.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;Social media respect is hard-won and easily lost, so tread carefully. If you build up a large following only to spam them with sales messages, you’ll wreck all your hard work. Bear these rules in mind:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Be respectful&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Be interesting&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Be useful&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;Use your social media channels to give people something for free, even if it’s just your sense of humour or your favourite recipes. Then they may reward you by checking out your products.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;Engaging through email&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;Email marketing can be a very cost-effective way to reach new customers and retain existing ones. Here’s what you need to get started.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;Build a good list&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;Your emails need to reach the right people, and the best way to find them is through a lead capture form on your website. Offer people something interesting and relevant, like an engaging piece of content relating to your market, in exchange for their email address and permission to send occasional emails. Make sure people know what they’re signing up for when they submit their contact details.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;What type of email?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;You might want to write a regular email newsletter, launch a promotion, send seasonal messages or create a loyalty program. Just ensure that you’re sending something of value to your customers, so they get in the habit of opening your emails rather than just deleting them. For every piece of marketing, have something that people will read for its own sake.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;Design and content&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;Always keep your goal and your customer in mind when creating your email campaign. Segment your contacts into smaller lists with similar interests. This will make it much easier to craft a relevant message for each group. Make sure your call to action is clear and concise too. Your design needn’t try too hard. It should reflect your business and be appealing, but not busy or cluttered.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;Analyse performance&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;How did your emails do? Keep a close eye on performance and you can tune your next message to make it even more effective.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;What is SEO?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;SEO stands for Search Engine Optimisation. It’s all about boosting your online visibility and getting your website noticed. Put simply, good SEO means a higher ranking.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;To achieve really effective SEO, you probably need an expert partner with experience in this field. They will be able to analyse your website, research and develop keywords, optimise content and measure success for you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;What is content marketing?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;Content marketing is about attracting customers by giving them something interesting, informative, useful or entertaining – usually for free. In the process, you can draw traffic to your site, attract the right kind of audience, give them something they will appreciate and develop your brand at the same time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;Content marketing may include:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Blogs&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Articles&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; News&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Videos&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Podcasts&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Surveys&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Memes&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Useful tools&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;The list goes on. ‘Content’ is simply anything that people will consume online for its own sake, and hopefully share with others. In the process, users will come across your brand and (hopefully) be tempted to explore it further. Just make sure that your content has a strong connection with what you’re offering in terms of products or services.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;&quot;&gt;Remember, no part of business changes faster than the digital sphere, which is why your digital strategy needs to be flexible, agile and always ready to develop into new areas.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre;&quot;&gt;For help  with your Digital Marketing Strategy Click Here.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;&quot;&gt;

  44. &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Canaro-Light, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;&quot;&gt;Digital transformation 2020: in the year 2020, we’ll be entering a new decade that promises to be marked by digital metamorphosis.&amp;nbsp; As we look forward to 2020, we are interested in the technologies, trends, and developments that will become the priorities of the 2020 Digital Agenda. From AI to machine learning, to multi-cloud computing, the focus is on a wide range of technologies that share the same mission: to simplify and improve the experience of users and companies.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
  45. &lt;div class=&quot;entry-content content&quot; style=&quot;color: #535353; font-family: Canaro-Light, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.5px;&quot;&gt;
  46. &lt;strong style=&quot;font-family: Canaro-SemiBold;&quot;&gt;But which trends will ride the wave of Digital Transformation in 2020?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;In this post, we will identify the top trends that will be influencing technologies, business strategy, and the market itself.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
  47. &lt;br /&gt;

  49. &lt;strong style=&quot;font-family: Canaro-SemiBold;&quot;&gt;Digital transformation: what you need to know for 2020&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  50. &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.mulesoft.com/lp/reports/top-digital-transformation-trends-2020&quot; rel=&quot;noindex, nofollow noopener noreferrer&quot; style=&quot;color: #535353; cursor: pointer; font-family: Canaro-Medium, Arial, sans-serif; transition: all 0.5s ease 0s;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong style=&quot;font-family: Canaro-SemiBold;&quot;&gt;A recent survey from MuleSoft&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;found that while&lt;strong style=&quot;font-family: Canaro-SemiBold;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;97% of IT decision makers are involved in their organization’s digital transformation initiatives&lt;/strong&gt;,&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong style=&quot;font-family: Canaro-SemiBold;&quot;&gt;many are struggling to define a clear strategy&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp;The research identifies 7 digital transformation trends for 2020, exploring their impact and benefits, starting with data from more than 850 global IT leaders and 9,000 consumers:&lt;br /&gt;
  51. &lt;br /&gt;
  52. &lt;h4 style=&quot;font-family: Canaro-Medium, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 5px;&quot;&gt;
  53. 1. The Customer Experience beyond the consumer’s borders&lt;/h4&gt;
  54. Ensuring an excellent consumer experience remains the constant challenge that companies will face in the new decade, which will directly impact business performance.&amp;nbsp;Delivering a&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong style=&quot;font-family: Canaro-SemiBold;&quot;&gt;personalized and reliable customer experience&lt;/strong&gt;, according to&lt;strong style=&quot;font-family: Canaro-SemiBold;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;93%&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;of business executives, will be critical to the overall business performance. In addition, consumer expectations are rising rapidly. Users are focusing on products and services that meet their needs and expectations through smart, immediate, and easy-to-use procedures, with no friction between different channels and no geographical constraints.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
  55. &lt;br /&gt;
  56. &lt;h4 style=&quot;font-family: Canaro-Medium, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 5px;&quot;&gt;
  57. &lt;strong style=&quot;font-family: Canaro-SemiBold;&quot;&gt;2.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong style=&quot;font-family: Canaro-SemiBold;&quot;&gt;Data leading to innovation&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
  58. Digital Transformation has a beating heart, made of numbers and data. The most successful organizations are unlocking data to innovate faster.&amp;nbsp;According to&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong style=&quot;font-family: Canaro-SemiBold;&quot;&gt;83%&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;of IT managers, breaking down data silos improves business performance, while&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong style=&quot;font-family: Canaro-SemiBold;&quot;&gt;55%&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;report that their organizations planned to invest in big data and analytics in 2019. It’s a clear indication of a growing awareness of the importance of data.&amp;nbsp; Translated: An approach based on data analysis is essential for making business decisions based on objective data.&lt;br /&gt;
  59. &lt;br /&gt;
  60. &lt;h4 style=&quot;font-family: Canaro-Medium, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 5px;&quot;&gt;
  61. &lt;strong style=&quot;font-family: Canaro-SemiBold;&quot;&gt;3. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
  62. Businesses are increasingly investing in&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong style=&quot;font-family: Canaro-SemiBold;&quot;&gt;AI-based solutions&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;to improve and customize customer services, reduce human error, and increase productivity.&amp;nbsp;Research predicts 95% growth in AI adoption by 2020, based primarily on machine learning applications, simple operation automation, and the use of chatbots. In&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong style=&quot;font-family: Canaro-SemiBold;&quot;&gt;Retail&lt;/strong&gt;, AI is used primarily for personalized offers and promotions. In fact,&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong style=&quot;font-family: Canaro-SemiBold;&quot;&gt;53% of consumers allow retailers to track their purchasing behaviour&lt;/strong&gt;, in and out of stores, to get personalized offers and promotions.&amp;nbsp;It is clear that AI and Machine Learning are a great opportunity for companies, making it possible to optimize various business processes through the use of data, which feed and catalyze this system.&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong style=&quot;font-family: Canaro-SemiBold;&quot;&gt;The processes are thus faster and optimized, reducing the potential bias arising from the interpretation of data&lt;/strong&gt;, ensuring a personalized customer experience.&lt;br /&gt;
  63. &lt;br /&gt;
  64. &lt;h4 style=&quot;font-family: Canaro-Medium, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 5px;&quot;&gt;
  65. &lt;strong style=&quot;font-family: Canaro-SemiBold;&quot;&gt;4. Multi-cloud computing&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
  66. No single cloud platform can meet all of your enterprise workload requirements. In fact,&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong style=&quot;font-family: Canaro-SemiBold;&quot;&gt;84%&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;of companies with more than 1,000 employees adopt a multi-cloud strategy, despite the challenge of addressing the complexity and cost of ownership.&amp;nbsp;Research also estimates&lt;strong style=&quot;font-family: Canaro-SemiBold;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;growth of 165% over the next 18 months&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;for companies that manage their environment using containerized applications. A container is a standard unit of software that packages the code and all its dependencies so that the application runs quickly and reliably from one processing environment to another.&lt;br /&gt;
  67. &lt;br /&gt;
  68. &lt;h4 style=&quot;font-family: Canaro-Medium, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 5px;&quot;&gt;
  69. &lt;strong style=&quot;font-family: Canaro-SemiBold;&quot;&gt;5. IT is the main enterprise business enabler&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
  70. We have already mentioned the decisive role played by IT in digitization processes. Businesses have also understood this and started to work with IT in order to fully exploit the potential of new technologies and boost their business.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;As a result, there is increasing pressure on IT to release more, faster. Features such as&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong style=&quot;font-family: Canaro-SemiBold;&quot;&gt;agility, speed,&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;and,&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong style=&quot;font-family: Canaro-SemiBold;&quot;&gt;innovativeness&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;are becoming necessary, if not indispensable.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
  71. &lt;br /&gt;
  72. &lt;h4 style=&quot;font-family: Canaro-Medium, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 5px;&quot;&gt;
  73. &lt;strong style=&quot;font-family: Canaro-SemiBold;&quot;&gt;6. Co-create value with stakeholders&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
  74. In an increasingly interconnected world, digitization provides companies with advanced tools to&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong style=&quot;font-family: Canaro-SemiBold;&quot;&gt;collaborate with partners and external stakeholders to co-create value&lt;/strong&gt;: it feeds a winning business ecosystem, stimulating the market with more competition and the introduction of new services. Here, a mental shift to a perspective of interdependence with stakeholders is necessary, supported and fuelled by digital innovation, which streamlines and simplifies complex relationships.&amp;nbsp;Value can be created, for example, through open source solutions, platformification or by making open APIs available.&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.forrester.com/report/The+Forrester+Wave+Global+API+Strategy+And+Delivery+Service+Providers+Q2+2019/-/E-RES144379&quot; rel=&quot;noindex, nofollow noopener noreferrer&quot; style=&quot;color: #535353; cursor: pointer; font-family: Canaro-Medium, Arial, sans-serif; transition: all 0.5s ease 0s;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;According to the Forrester Global API Strategy And Delivery Service Providers report for Q2 2019&lt;/a&gt;, the&lt;strong style=&quot;font-family: Canaro-SemiBold;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;use of external APIs triples the possibilities of increasing business revenues by 15%&lt;/strong&gt;, if not more.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;A collaboration, therefore, that must be supported with suitable tools and which must understand the value and potential in the long term.&lt;br /&gt;
  75. &lt;br /&gt;
  76. &lt;h4 style=&quot;font-family: Canaro-Medium, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 5px;&quot;&gt;
  77. &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong style=&quot;font-family: Canaro-SemiBold;&quot;&gt;7.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong style=&quot;font-family: Canaro-SemiBold;&quot;&gt;Feed business performance with APIs&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
  78. The term&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong style=&quot;font-family: Canaro-SemiBold;&quot;&gt;API,&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;or Application Programming Interface, is&lt;strong style=&quot;font-family: Canaro-SemiBold;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;a type of application that exposes the functionality of other applications through standard procedures&lt;/strong&gt;. This allows you to make use of different applications, avoiding redundancies and replications in programming codes. Business support APIs can improve productivity and returns, giving space to innovation. In fact, 91% of organizations that have set up a strategy on public and/or private APIs are achieving excellent results.&lt;br /&gt;
  79. Advantages include:&lt;br /&gt;
  80. &lt;ul style=&quot;list-style: none; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
  81. &lt;li style=&quot;padding-left: 20px; position: relative;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong style=&quot;font-family: Canaro-SemiBold;&quot;&gt;Greater personalization for customers;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  82. &lt;li style=&quot;padding-left: 20px; position: relative;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong style=&quot;font-family: Canaro-SemiBold;&quot;&gt;Improved user experience;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  83. &lt;li style=&quot;padding-left: 20px; position: relative;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong style=&quot;font-family: Canaro-SemiBold;&quot;&gt;Automation and efficiency of business processes;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  84. &lt;li style=&quot;padding-left: 20px; position: relative;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong style=&quot;font-family: Canaro-SemiBold;&quot;&gt;Best Digital Employee Experience;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  85. &lt;li style=&quot;padding-left: 20px; position: relative;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong style=&quot;font-family: Canaro-SemiBold;&quot;&gt;Lowering barriers to digital innovation.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  86. &lt;/ul&gt;
  87. In light of this overview, we can already see the benefits of investing in APIs, which are an essential step to fully take advantage of the improvements offered by digitization for the near future.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
  88. The 7 trends outlined by Mulesoft offer interesting and plausible forecasts on the adoption of different technologies for 2020. The results of this report suggest that to offer a customer experience, companies must support the development of a data-driven culture and use revolutionary technologies such as machine learning and AI, in multi-cloud environments, to accelerate and amplify value co-creation within their ecosystems, working closely with IT to better exploit the extraordinary power of application networks.&lt;br /&gt;
  89. But it doesn’t end there. Forbes magazine has created its own list of trends.&lt;br /&gt;
  90. &lt;br /&gt;
  91. &lt;h3 style=&quot;font-family: Canaro-Medium, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 30px; line-height: 1.5;&quot;&gt;
  92. &lt;strong style=&quot;font-family: Canaro-SemiBold;&quot;&gt;8 more digital transformation trends for 2020&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  93. According to&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.forbes.com/sites/danielnewman/2019/07/14/top-10-digital-transformation-trends-for-2020/#39a83d0076be&quot; rel=&quot;noindex, nofollow noopener noreferrer&quot; style=&quot;color: #535353; cursor: pointer; font-family: Canaro-Medium, Arial, sans-serif; transition: all 0.5s ease 0s;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Forbes&lt;/a&gt;, 2020 will be a game-changer. The scene will be dominated by new classes of technologies, some unexpected, but still in line with the technological developments of recent years. Let’s take a closer look:&lt;br /&gt;
  94. &lt;h4 style=&quot;font-family: Canaro-Medium, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 5px;&quot;&gt;
  95. &lt;/h4&gt;
  96. &lt;h4 style=&quot;font-family: Canaro-Medium, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 5px;&quot;&gt;
  97. &lt;strong style=&quot;font-family: Canaro-SemiBold;&quot;&gt;1. 5G for all&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
  98. 2020 is the year of 5G. The major telecom leaders are already moving in this direction.&lt;br /&gt;
  99. &lt;br /&gt;
  100. &lt;h4 style=&quot;font-family: Canaro-Medium, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 5px;&quot;&gt;
  101. &lt;strong style=&quot;font-family: Canaro-SemiBold;&quot;&gt;2. Faster Wi-Fi for a Faster World&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
  102. 5G and WiFi 6 will co-create the perfect end-to-end combination of ultra-fast connectivity for home and office. Expect a download speed up to three times faster than you could get with WiFi 5. The real value of WiFi 6, however, will be its ability to extend higher data rates to many more devices than WiFi 5 was able to handle.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
  103. &lt;br /&gt;
  104. &lt;h4 style=&quot;font-family: Canaro-Medium, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 5px;&quot;&gt;
  105. &lt;strong style=&quot;font-family: Canaro-SemiBold;&quot;&gt;3. Blockchain&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
  106. 2020 could be the beginning of the rise of Blockchain: not only payments and cryptocurrencies, but it can also be used in food security, in real estate or wealth management, or even in intellectual property or royalties. It’s an interesting perspective, so much so that some companies, including Amazon Web Services, are already working to make it as concrete as possible.&lt;br /&gt;
  107. &lt;br /&gt;
  108. &lt;h4 style=&quot;font-family: Canaro-Medium, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 5px;&quot;&gt;
  109. &lt;strong style=&quot;font-family: Canaro-SemiBold;&quot;&gt;4. Robotic Process Automation (RPA)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
  110. Although it is the simplest form of AI that a company can implement, automation of robotic processes will continue to grow. 2020 promises to be a year of major investment in RPA.&lt;br /&gt;
  111. &lt;br /&gt;
  112. &lt;h4 style=&quot;font-family: Canaro-Medium, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 5px;&quot;&gt;
  113. &lt;strong style=&quot;font-family: Canaro-SemiBold;&quot;&gt;5. Conversational AI&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
  114. Siri is still imperfect, and it’s still almost impossible to use voice-to-text to create a decent chat message. However, at least some form of Conversational AI will be useful in 2020. On the software side, projects like Microsoft Conversational AI are working hard to build platforms that can follow complex conversations and capture the nuance of emotions. In addition, chipsets and SOCs developed specifically for intelligent devices are becoming exceptionally adept at isolating human voices from noisy backgrounds and at accurately processing language in real-time.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;

  117. &lt;strong style=&quot;font-family: Canaro-SemiBold;&quot;&gt;6. ACPCs transform the laptop market forever&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
  118. We’re always connected, so we also need PCs that are always connected. This year, we will see an expansion of ACPC with 5G connectivity and built-in LTE that will finally make this possible.&amp;nbsp;ACPCs, in fact, tend to enjoy a battery life of almost a full day and could even extend battery life to several days, making laptops like never before.&lt;br /&gt;
  119. &lt;br /&gt;
  120. &lt;h4 style=&quot;font-family: Canaro-Medium, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 5px;&quot;&gt;
  121. &lt;strong style=&quot;font-family: Canaro-SemiBold;&quot;&gt;7. Connected vehicles, self-contained drones and Smart Cities become the new reality&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
  122. The combination of edge computing and 5G will bring us significantly closer to truly autonomous cars, drones, and smart cities. Tesla is clearly the name at the top of the list, but Elon Musk isn’t the only one trying to address this problem. In fact, car manufacturers and technology manufacturers are becoming increasingly aligned on this. Companies like Intel, Nvidia, Qualcomm, BMW, Volvo, and Ford are working together, while Uber is building its own autonomous army and Amazon is bringing autonomous drones to delivery.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
  123. &lt;br /&gt;

  125. &lt;strong style=&quot;font-family: Canaro-SemiBold;&quot;&gt;8.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong style=&quot;font-family: Canaro-SemiBold;&quot;&gt;XaaS, UX/ CX, and privacy&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
  126. Adjacent technology trends will also be in focus in 2020. Let’s face it: digital transformation is much more than the sum of its technological parts.&lt;br /&gt;
  127. Change itself is a key factor in digital transformation and it almost always transcends the tools that enable it. For this reason, it is important to mention the adjacent trends that will dominate the discussions on Digital Transformation in 2020: in pole position, we find XaaS, UX/CX (user/customer experience) and digital privacy.&lt;br /&gt;
  128. Can we consider these predictions definitive and exact? Absolutely not, things could change and in many different ways, but the starting point is stimulating, and we are excited to see where it will take us.&lt;/div&gt;
  129. &lt;/div&gt;

In spite of the fact that most individuals utilizing it presently appear to be posting photographs, the app too lets you share joins, text-based status overhauls and recommendations. The greatest distinction is that the posts you see on your Vero newsfeed are orchestrated in invert chronological arrange, instead of algorithmically, which is how Instagram and Facebook do it – something that has caused dissatisfaction among users.&lt;br /&gt;
  134. &lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  135. &lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;M&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;ost hypes take after their own norms and rule – particularly on the web.

But at that point came the contention and server disappointments, examined in numerous blogs, vlogs, podcasts, tweets, and even the news. But even this negative exposure contributed to Vero’s ubiquity and popularity, making it well-known within the social media sector. Many companies are as of now jumping on the platform since they see extraordinary showcasing an brand strengthening potential.&lt;br /&gt;

  174. &lt;div style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;libre franklin&amp;quot;; font-size: 16px;&quot;&gt;

  177. &lt;span style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: libre franklin;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 16px;&quot;&gt;8 Nifty Apps to Identify Anything Using Your Phone’s Camera&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  178. &lt;div style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;libre franklin&amp;quot;; font-size: 16px;&quot;&gt;
  179. For many people, your phone’s camera is one of its most important aspects. It has a ton of uses, from superimposing wild creatures into reality with AR apps to taking sharp pictures even at night.&lt;/div&gt;
  180. &lt;/div&gt;
  181. &lt;div style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Libre Franklin&amp;quot;; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7;&quot;&gt;
  182. But you might be missing out on another major ability your phone’s camera has: it can work as a visual search engine and identify just about anything you see in the world. Here are the best identification apps for Android and iPhone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  183. &lt;h2 style=&quot;border-bottom: 3px solid rgb(68, 68, 68); font-family: &amp;quot;Source Sans Pro&amp;quot;; font-size: 28px;&quot;&gt;
  184. 1. Google Lens: For Everything&lt;/h2&gt;
  185. &lt;/div&gt;
  186. &lt;div&gt;
  187. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  188. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  189. &lt;iframe allowfullscreen=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;YOUTUBE-iframe-video&quot; data-thumbnail-src=&quot;https://i.ytimg.com/vi/F2brcDqKTHI/0.jpg&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;466&quot; src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/F2brcDqKTHI?feature=player_embedded&quot; width=&quot;520&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  190. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  191. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  192. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  193. &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/use-smartphone-identify-anything-camfind/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Read the complete article from its original source Here&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  194. &lt;div&gt;
  195. &lt;br /&gt;
  196. &lt;div style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Libre Franklin&amp;quot;; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7;&quot;&gt;
  197. Google has brought its search engine chops to your camera. With computer vision, its Lens app is capable of recognizing a ton of items. Google Lens understands a wide range of items including animal breeds, plants, flowers, branded gadgets, and more. The biggest exception is people.&lt;/div&gt;
  198. &lt;div style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Libre Franklin&amp;quot;; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7;&quot;&gt;
  199. Plus, for compatible objects, Google Lens will also pull up shopping links if you’d like to buy them. There’s not much of a setup process. You simply install the app or launch it from the Google Assistant and point it at an object. Google Lens will let you know if it’s found a match by displaying a little blue icon on top of the item.&lt;/div&gt;
  200. &lt;div style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Libre Franklin&amp;quot;; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7;&quot;&gt;
  201. Instead of a dedicated app, iPhone users can find Google Lens functionality in the search bar of the main Google app. We’ve looked at&amp;nbsp;&lt;a class=&quot;no-callout&quot; href=&quot;https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/google-lens/&quot; style=&quot;color: #e22524; font-weight: 600; text-decoration-line: none; transition: all 0.2s cubic-bezier(0.25, 0.46, 0.45, 0.94) 0s;&quot;&gt;some of the interesting uses for Google Lens&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;if you’re curious.&lt;/div&gt;
  202. &lt;h2 style=&quot;border-bottom: 3px solid rgb(68, 68, 68); color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Source Sans Pro&amp;quot;; font-size: 28px;&quot;&gt;
  203. 2. Pinterest: For Design and Art&lt;/h2&gt;
  204. &lt;div style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Libre Franklin&amp;quot;; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7;&quot;&gt;
  205. Similarly, Pinterest has a visual search tool where you take a picture and the app fetches links and pages for the objects it identifies. Pinterest’s solution can also match multiple items in a complex image, such as an outfit.&lt;/div&gt;
  206. &lt;div style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Libre Franklin&amp;quot;; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7;&quot;&gt;
  207. Like Google, it shows you shopping links through which you can directly purchase the product.&lt;/div&gt;
  208. &lt;div style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Libre Franklin&amp;quot;; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7;&quot;&gt;
  209. &lt;/div&gt;
  210. &lt;div class=&quot;aligncenter mobile-only&quot; id=&quot;snhb-in_content-2-0&quot; style=&quot;color: black; font-family: sans-serif; margin: 0px auto; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  211. &lt;/div&gt;
  212. &lt;br /&gt;
  213. &lt;div style=&quot;-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Libre Franklin&amp;quot;; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 1.7; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;&quot;&gt;
  214. Pinterest’s visual search is primarily designed for what the social network is known for, like designs, outfits, and other similar categories. For purposes such as exploring nature, you’ll have a better time with Google Lens.&lt;/div&gt;
  215. &lt;div style=&quot;-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Libre Franklin&amp;quot;; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 1.7; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;&quot;&gt;
  216. &lt;b style=&quot;font-family: Roboto; font-size: medium; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/use-smartphone-identify-anything-camfind/&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Roboto; font-size: medium; text-align: center;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Read the complete article from its original source Here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  217. &lt;h2 style=&quot;border-bottom: 3px solid rgb(68, 68, 68); color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Source Sans Pro&amp;quot;; font-size: 28px;&quot;&gt;
  218. 3. Snapchat: Amazon-Powered Visual Search&lt;/h2&gt;
  219. &lt;div style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Libre Franklin&amp;quot;; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7;&quot;&gt;
  220. Snapchat comes with a nifty visual search engine too. It’s powered by and integrated with Amazon’s vast database of products. The concept is identical to the above.&lt;/div&gt;
  221. &lt;div style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Libre Franklin&amp;quot;; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7;&quot;&gt;
  222. You take a picture of an object you’re interested in. If successfully identified, Snapchat will bring up an Amazon card so you can visit the listing. You can also scan barcodes instead of tapping the item, for a quicker response.&lt;/div&gt;
  223. &lt;div style=&quot;-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Libre Franklin&amp;quot;; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 1.7; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;&quot;&gt;
  224. &lt;b style=&quot;font-family: Roboto; font-size: medium; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/use-smartphone-identify-anything-camfind/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Read the complete article from its original source Here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  225. &lt;/div&gt;

  248. If you&#39;re an enterprise IT leader, chances are good that you&#39;ve at least heard of DevOps. In fact, your organization has likely experimented with at least some DevOps techniques. In the 2018&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://reg.interop.com/stateofdevops&quot; style=&quot;color: #043464; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Interop State of DevOps Report&lt;/a&gt;, only 3% of the 150 business technology decision makers surveyed said they weren&#39;t at all familiar with the approach, while a full 84% said that they were &quot;familiar&quot; or &quot;very familiar&quot; with key DevOps concepts. In addition, two-thirds of those who took part in the study said they had either implemented DevOps in their organizations or planned to do so within twelve months. Only 9% said their organization had no DevOps plans.&lt;/div&gt;
  249. &lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #413f41; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.08333em; line-height: 1.38462em; margin-block-end: 1em; margin-block-start: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
  250. Now, a new&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://hbr.org/sponsored/2019/01/competitive-advantage-through-devops&quot; style=&quot;color: #043464; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Harvard Business Review Report&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;sponsored by Google Cloud finds that while organizations implementing DevOps have experienced a lot of benefits, these teams continue to face significant challenges. The survey asked 654 HBR readers about their companies&#39; experiences with DevOps. The majority of respondents (89%) came from enterprises with 1,000 or more employees, and they represented a range of industries and different parts of the world.&lt;/div&gt;

  261. &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;CRN’s Steve Burke says it&#39;s vital for companies to have trusted cloud advisers to determine which solution will provide the most value.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  262. &lt;div&gt;
  263. &lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: unset; color: #333333; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.35; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
  264. &quot;There’s a good reason why strategic service provider CPP Associates’ Infrastructure Anywhere assessment, which is aimed at determining where workloads should reside— on-premises or off-premises—is driving big sales growth.&lt;/div&gt;
  265. &lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: unset; color: #333333; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.35; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
  266. It’s because CPP Associates is doing the hard work as a trusted adviser, crunching the real numbers to determine which solution will provide the biggest competitive advantage and the biggest bang for the buck.&lt;/div&gt;
  267. &lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: unset; color: #333333; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.35; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
  268. “We’ve done 27 of these Infrastructure Anywhere assessments and almost every single one has turned out to be the same: On-premises done correctly is always less expensive than off-premises done correctly,” said Paul O’Dell, a director at CPP Associates, Clinton, N.J., which counts Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Amazon Web Services, Microsoft and VMware among its premier partners, along with nine software-defined data center partners, four networking/security partners and four cloud enablement partners.&lt;/div&gt;
  269. &lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: unset; color: #333333; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.35; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
  270. “It’s a runaway landslide if off-premises is done incorrectly. The savings of 50 [percent] to 75 percent are very realistic. What we tell our customers is: ‘We believe in company-first, but not-cloud first.’ I can assure you that it is in their best interest to have us do one of these studies.”&lt;/div&gt;
  271. &lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: unset; color: #333333; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.35; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
  272. The assessment is based on a several-week drill down into a customer’s IT systems and environment, including data collection for target workloads with detailed comparisons between public cloud infrastructure costs and on-premises HPE costs. The assessments helped drive 80 percent growth for CPP Associates on the HPE value portfolio in 2018 and 100 percent growth on that portfolio in the first fiscal quarter.....&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Read more at the original Source: &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.crn.com/news/cloud/column-the-true-cost-of-public-cloud&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;CRN News&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

  283. The personal brand is no longer the exclusive domain of thought leaders and CEOs. Everyone has an opportunity to educate others in their industry, but before you can do so, you need to develop your brand.&lt;/div&gt;

  285. Personal branding is about controlling the way others see you. Allowing you to showcase your expertise, and make new connections. In this article, we explain how to brand your personal social media accounts.&lt;/div&gt;

  287. Know Your Audience&lt;/h2&gt;

  289. Defining your audience is an important step toward building a personal brand. If you don’t know who you’re talking to, how can you connect with anyone? If you don’t know where to start, look at others’ profiles and see who they follow and what they talk about.&lt;/div&gt;
  290. &lt;div style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Libre Franklin&amp;quot;; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7;&quot;&gt;
  291. Who to look at:&lt;/div&gt;

  298. Take note of who responds to posts, what questions the audience has, and what content people tend to share most.&lt;/div&gt;
  299. &lt;div style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Libre Franklin&amp;quot;; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7;&quot;&gt;
  300. It’s also worth joining some relevant groups. LinkedIn and Facebook make it easy to connect with others who share your interests and expertise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

  302. Select Your Channels&lt;/h2&gt;

  304. Decide which social media platforms make the most sense for your personal brand. While all of them are free, there’s no reason to use every single channel. You’ll also want to consider what kind of content you feel most comfortable posting.&lt;/div&gt;
  305. &lt;div style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Libre Franklin&amp;quot;; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7;&quot;&gt;
  306. If visuals aren’t your thing, stick to LinkedIn and Twitter. Here, the emphasis is less aesthetic-focused and more about the content you share.&lt;/div&gt;
  307. &lt;div class=&quot;aligncenter mobile-only&quot; id=&quot;snhb-in_content-2-0&quot; style=&quot;font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px auto; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

  310. LinkedIn&lt;/h3&gt;
  311. &lt;div style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Libre Franklin&amp;quot;; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7;&quot;&gt;
  312. LinkedIn is the most formal channel in the bunch, so be careful about following strangers or asking for recommendations. It’s better to prove your value first.&lt;/div&gt;
  313. &lt;div style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Libre Franklin&amp;quot;; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7;&quot;&gt;
  314. LinkedIn rules:&lt;/div&gt;
  315. &lt;ul style=&quot;font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 10px 0px 10px 33.5px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
  316. &lt;li style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Libre Franklin&amp;quot;; line-height: 1.6; list-style: none; padding: 5px 0px 5px 10px; position: relative;&quot;&gt;Treat your profile like a digital brochure—it’s the first point of contact for potential connections&lt;/li&gt;
  317. &lt;li style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Libre Franklin&amp;quot;; line-height: 1.6; list-style: none; padding: 5px 0px 5px 10px; position: relative;&quot;&gt;Don’t blindly connect with people—take time to get to know them and send a personalized message.&lt;/li&gt;
  318. &lt;li style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Libre Franklin&amp;quot;; line-height: 1.6; list-style: none; padding: 5px 0px 5px 10px; position: relative;&quot;&gt;Ask for endorsements from your network&lt;/li&gt;

  320. &lt;h3 style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Source Sans Pro&amp;quot;; font-size: 24px;&quot;&gt;
  321. Twitter&lt;/h3&gt;
  322. &lt;div style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Libre Franklin&amp;quot;; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7;&quot;&gt;
  323. Twitter is something of a catch-all professional platform. It might be best known for trolls and political troublemakers, but it’s also a great way to keep track of industry leaders and brands.&lt;/div&gt;
  324. &lt;div style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Libre Franklin&amp;quot;; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7;&quot;&gt;
  325. Twitter rules:&lt;/div&gt;
  326. &lt;div class=&quot;aligncenter mobile-only&quot; id=&quot;snhb-in_content-3-0&quot; style=&quot;font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px auto; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  327. &lt;/div&gt;
  328. &lt;ul style=&quot;font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 10px 0px 10px 33.5px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
  329. &lt;li style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Libre Franklin&amp;quot;; line-height: 1.6; list-style: none; padding: 5px 0px 5px 10px; position: relative;&quot;&gt;Post things relevant to your industry&lt;/li&gt;

  331. &lt;li style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Libre Franklin&amp;quot;; line-height: 1.6; list-style: none; padding: 5px 0px 5px 10px; position: relative;&quot;&gt;Use industry chats to showcase your expertise&lt;/li&gt;
  332. &lt;li style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Libre Franklin&amp;quot;; line-height: 1.6; list-style: none; padding: 5px 0px 5px 10px; position: relative;&quot;&gt;Start conversations with the people you want to meet&lt;/li&gt;
  333. &lt;/ul&gt;
  334. &lt;h3 style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Source Sans Pro&amp;quot;; font-size: 24px;&quot;&gt;
  335. Facebook&lt;/h3&gt;
  336. &lt;div style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Libre Franklin&amp;quot;; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7;&quot;&gt;
  337. Facebook is more than a place to share fake news and get lost in old classmates’ vacation albums. It’s also a flexible platform where you can share videos, links, images, and more.&lt;/div&gt;
  338. &lt;div style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Libre Franklin&amp;quot;; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7;&quot;&gt;
  339. Facebook rules:&lt;/div&gt;
  340. &lt;ul style=&quot;font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 10px 0px 10px 33.5px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
  341. &lt;li style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Libre Franklin&amp;quot;; line-height: 1.6; list-style: none; padding: 5px 0px 5px 10px; position: relative;&quot;&gt;Don’t be afraid to diversify your content mix&lt;/li&gt;
  342. &lt;li style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Libre Franklin&amp;quot;; line-height: 1.6; list-style: none; padding: 5px 0px 5px 10px; position: relative;&quot;&gt;Learn about your target audience&lt;/li&gt;
  343. &lt;li style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Libre Franklin&amp;quot;; line-height: 1.6; list-style: none; padding: 5px 0px 5px 10px; position: relative;&quot;&gt;Join groups and start your own&lt;/li&gt;
  344. &lt;li style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Libre Franklin&amp;quot;; line-height: 1.6; list-style: none; padding: 5px 0px 5px 10px; position: relative;&quot;&gt;Keep personal and professional separate—you may need to clean up your profile before kicking off your branding efforts.&lt;/li&gt;
  345. &lt;/ul&gt;
  346. &lt;h3 style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Source Sans Pro&amp;quot;; font-size: 24px;&quot;&gt;
  347. Instagram&lt;/h3&gt;
  348. &lt;div class=&quot;linked-out&quot; style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Libre Franklin&amp;quot;; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7;&quot;&gt;
  349. Instagram is best for those working in creative industries. It’s great for designers, artists, and people working in the food and beverage industry.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
  350. &lt;div class=&quot;linked-out&quot; style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Libre Franklin&amp;quot;; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7;&quot;&gt;
  351. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  352. &lt;ul style=&quot;font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 10px 0px 10px 33.5px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
  353. &lt;li style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Libre Franklin&amp;quot;; line-height: 1.6; list-style: none; padding: 5px 0px 5px 10px; position: relative;&quot;&gt;Don’t forget the hashtags&lt;/li&gt;
  354. &lt;li style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Libre Franklin&amp;quot;; line-height: 1.6; list-style: none; padding: 5px 0px 5px 10px; position: relative;&quot;&gt;Stay in your lane rather than straying away from your niche&lt;/li&gt;
  355. &lt;li style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Libre Franklin&amp;quot;; line-height: 1.6; list-style: none; padding: 5px 0px 5px 10px; position: relative;&quot;&gt;Post regularly&lt;/li&gt;
  356. &lt;li style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Libre Franklin&amp;quot;; line-height: 1.6; list-style: none; padding: 5px 0px 5px 10px; position: relative;&quot;&gt;Create an attractive bio&lt;/li&gt;
  357. &lt;/ul&gt;
  358. &lt;h2 style=&quot;border-bottom: 3px solid rgb(68, 68, 68); color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Source Sans Pro&amp;quot;; font-size: 28px;&quot;&gt;
  359. Establish a Tone&lt;/h2&gt;
  360. &lt;div style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Libre Franklin&amp;quot;; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7;&quot;&gt;
  361. We get it, a lot of this “personal branding” stuff conjures up some cringeworthy feelings.&lt;/div&gt;
  362. &lt;div style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Libre Franklin&amp;quot;; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7;&quot;&gt;
  363. Establish a voice that both feels like “you” and fits in with your industry and audience. Are you the friendly expert, the cheeky and irreverent jokester, or perhaps, a bit more serious?&lt;/div&gt;
  364. &lt;div style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Libre Franklin&amp;quot;; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7;&quot;&gt;
  365. Social media is overcrowded with self-proclaimed experts, so you’ll need to position yourself in a way that differentiates you from your coworkers and competitors. Much like how corporate brands set social media goals, you’ll want to establish a few of your own.&lt;/div&gt;
  366. &lt;div style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Libre Franklin&amp;quot;; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7;&quot;&gt;
  367. Some potential goals:&lt;/div&gt;
  368. &lt;ul style=&quot;font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 10px 0px 10px 33.5px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
  369. &lt;li style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Libre Franklin&amp;quot;; line-height: 1.6; list-style: none; padding: 5px 0px 5px 10px; position: relative;&quot;&gt;Build a well-connected network&lt;/li&gt;
  370. &lt;li style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Libre Franklin&amp;quot;; line-height: 1.6; list-style: none; padding: 5px 0px 5px 10px; position: relative;&quot;&gt;Attract a following for a blog or podcast&lt;/li&gt;
  371. &lt;li style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Libre Franklin&amp;quot;; line-height: 1.6; list-style: none; padding: 5px 0px 5px 10px; position: relative;&quot;&gt;Demonstrate expertise in your field&lt;/li&gt;
  372. &lt;/ul&gt;
  373. &lt;div style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Libre Franklin&amp;quot;; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7;&quot;&gt;
  374. For example, if you want to be seen as an expert in the graphic design space, Google common phrases and start looking for articles, industry updates, and trends. From there, you can start writing your own posts or sharing your opinions about them on social media.&lt;/div&gt;
  375. &lt;h2 style=&quot;border-bottom: 3px solid rgb(68, 68, 68); color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Source Sans Pro&amp;quot;; font-size: 28px;&quot;&gt;
  376. Embrace a Consistent Image&lt;/h2&gt;
  377. &lt;div style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Libre Franklin&amp;quot;; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7;&quot;&gt;
  378. Think of any successful brand you’ve encountered—they have a distinct image and voice that spans platforms. Apple, McDonald’s, Coca-Cola. All of these achieve a certain consistency by using the same logo, colors, and tone across all representations of their brand.&lt;/div&gt;
  379. &lt;div style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Libre Franklin&amp;quot;; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7;&quot;&gt;
  380. To do this, brands create style guides with rules for everything from colors. You don’t need to write yourself an entire rulebook—but embracing consistency is one of the most important things you can do. It helps you build trust with your audience and make sure that they remember you long-term.&lt;/div&gt;
  381. &lt;div style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Libre Franklin&amp;quot;; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7;&quot;&gt;
  382. With that in mind, here are a few areas visuals can help communicate what you’re all about:&lt;/div&gt;
  383. &lt;h3 style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Source Sans Pro&amp;quot;; font-size: 24px;&quot;&gt;
  384. Headshots and Usernames Should Be Uniform&lt;/h3&gt;
  385. &lt;div style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Libre Franklin&amp;quot;; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7;&quot;&gt;
  386. Keep it simple and use your first and last name as your username.&lt;/div&gt;
  387. &lt;div style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Libre Franklin&amp;quot;; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7;&quot;&gt;
  388. Your headshot and usernames should be the same (or similar) across every platform. While it might sound boring, it’s better to save your creativity for your actual posts.&lt;/div&gt;
  389. &lt;div style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Libre Franklin&amp;quot;; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7;&quot;&gt;
  390. This makes discoverability a breeze, allowing people to quickly identify you on Twitter, LinkedIn, or wherever else you hang out.&lt;/div&gt;
  391. &lt;h3 style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Source Sans Pro&amp;quot;; font-size: 24px;&quot;&gt;
  392. Be Sure to Get Your Bio Right&lt;/h3&gt;
  393. &lt;div style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Libre Franklin&amp;quot;; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7;&quot;&gt;
  394. Your professional bio should be a clear, concise overview of your experience and expertise. This represents you across social channels, blogs, and websites, and serves as an online first impression.&lt;/div&gt;
  395. &lt;div style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Libre Franklin&amp;quot;; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7;&quot;&gt;
  396. Ann Handley’s two Twitter profiles (her business and personal) are a good example of using that same bio across different accounts.&lt;/div&gt;
  397. &lt;div style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Libre Franklin&amp;quot;; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7;&quot;&gt;
  398. People can quickly see that these belong to the same person based on her use of the same bullet points.&lt;/div&gt;
  399. &lt;div style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Libre Franklin&amp;quot;; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7;&quot;&gt;
  400. &lt;img alt=&quot;profiles ann handley example&quot; class=&quot;aligncenter wp-image-839029 lazy-load&quot; data-loaded=&quot;true&quot; data-src=&quot;//static.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/ann-handley-twitter-profiles-563x344.png&quot; height=&quot;410&quot; src=&quot;https://static.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/ann-handley-twitter-profiles-563x344.png&quot; style=&quot;border: 0px; display: block; height: auto; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 100%; text-align: center;&quot; width=&quot;670&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  401. &lt;h3 style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Source Sans Pro&amp;quot;; font-size: 24px;&quot;&gt;
  402. Choose a Color Scheme (And Stick With It)&lt;/h3&gt;
  403. &lt;div style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Libre Franklin&amp;quot;; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7;&quot;&gt;
  404. Whether you think color psychology is bogus or a bonafide science, there’s no doubt that colors can visually communicate the personality you want to portray.&lt;/div&gt;
  405. &lt;div style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Libre Franklin&amp;quot;; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7;&quot;&gt;
  406. A good example of this is Rachel Parcell’s profile (pictured below). She sticks to this soft, feminine aesthetic, using pinks and whites throughout her feed.&lt;/div&gt;
  407. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  408. &lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhU8wI_HqeX3D8mA4UgcSc2M6ZjC5zyDKcjpaMe0V2SEzH7WuyShYlOQHoicNTUSoxDLGDUfVaVcNmdn8tVkFCP5Qz_oEAWqb4HA9C8mNLLOCaOCNDKFnzrZFNrcrL7YZMuKqFHeG0gFkXu/s1600/rachel-parcell-personal-brand-example-563x336.png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;336&quot; data-original-width=&quot;563&quot; height=&quot;190&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhU8wI_HqeX3D8mA4UgcSc2M6ZjC5zyDKcjpaMe0V2SEzH7WuyShYlOQHoicNTUSoxDLGDUfVaVcNmdn8tVkFCP5Qz_oEAWqb4HA9C8mNLLOCaOCNDKFnzrZFNrcrL7YZMuKqFHeG0gFkXu/s320/rachel-parcell-personal-brand-example-563x336.png&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  409. &lt;div style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Libre Franklin&amp;quot;; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7;&quot;&gt;
  410. &lt;/div&gt;
  411. &lt;div style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Libre Franklin&amp;quot;; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7;&quot;&gt;
  412. Start by considering the colors you’re naturally drawn to, then think about how those colors fit with your brand.&lt;/div&gt;
  413. &lt;div style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Libre Franklin&amp;quot;; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7;&quot;&gt;
  414. Blue, for example, signifies clarity, intelligence, and authority. While red demonstrates power, attraction, love, and enthusiasm. Do you want to make people feel calm or excited?&lt;/div&gt;
  415. &lt;div style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Libre Franklin&amp;quot;; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7;&quot;&gt;
  416. We recommend selecting a color scheme, like this one from Design Seeds:&lt;/div&gt;
  417. &lt;div style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Libre Franklin&amp;quot;; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7;&quot;&gt;
  418. &lt;img alt=&quot;pick a color scheme&quot; class=&quot;aligncenter wp-image-839026 lazy-load&quot; data-loaded=&quot;true&quot; data-src=&quot;//static.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/design-seeds-color-scheme-1-550x355.png&quot; height=&quot;432&quot; src=&quot;https://static.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/design-seeds-color-scheme-1-550x355.png&quot; style=&quot;border: 0px; display: block; height: auto; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 100%; text-align: center;&quot; width=&quot;670&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

  420. If you need help selecting your “paint swatches,” here are some&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/color-me-impressed-3-tools-for-effortlessly-finding-beautiful-color-schemes-for-any-project/&quot; style=&quot;color: #e22524; font-weight: 600; text-decoration-line: none; transition: all 0.2s cubic-bezier(0.25, 0.46, 0.45, 0.94) 0s;&quot;&gt;tools to find beautiful color &lt;br /&gt;schemes&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;that do the heavy lifting for you.&lt;/div&gt;
  421. &lt;div class=&quot;linked-out&quot; style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Libre Franklin&amp;quot;; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7;&quot;&gt;
  422. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  423. &lt;div class=&quot;linked-out&quot; style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Libre Franklin&amp;quot;; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7;&quot;&gt;
  424. &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Source Sans Pro&amp;quot;; font-size: 24px;&quot;&gt;Unite Your Feed with the Right Filter&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  425. &lt;div style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Libre Franklin&amp;quot;; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7;&quot;&gt;
  426. Generally, you’ll want to polish off your pics with a unifying filter. Stick to one or two filters and use the same editing process for every image.&lt;/div&gt;
  427. &lt;div style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Libre Franklin&amp;quot;; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7;&quot;&gt;
  428. In general, built-in photo editors are best left to the amateurs. Create your own using an app like Lightroom or VSCO and save your settings for easy access. This gives you the ability to maintain a consistent “mood” with a single click.&lt;/div&gt;
  429. &lt;h3 style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Source Sans Pro&amp;quot;; font-size: 24px;&quot;&gt;
  430. The Same Goes for Fonts&lt;/h3&gt;
  431. &lt;div style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Libre Franklin&amp;quot;; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7;&quot;&gt;
  432. As with colors, developing a font palette is essential for creating a cohesive brand. Limit your font use to two or three options to keep things consistent.&lt;/div&gt;
  433. &lt;div style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Libre Franklin&amp;quot;; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7;&quot;&gt;
  434. If your main channels are social (rather than a personal website) the font rule applies to your logo and any pull-quote visuals you post in your feeds.&lt;/div&gt;
  435. &lt;h2 style=&quot;border-bottom: 3px solid rgb(68, 68, 68); color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Source Sans Pro&amp;quot;; font-size: 28px;&quot;&gt;
  436. Engage with Your Audience&lt;/h2&gt;
  437. &lt;div style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Libre Franklin&amp;quot;; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7;&quot;&gt;
  438. Social media is supposed to be a conversation, so it’s crucial that you give and take. Make sure you respond to every comment you receive, even if it’s just to say thanks.&lt;/div&gt;
  439. &lt;div style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Libre Franklin&amp;quot;; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7;&quot;&gt;
  440. We get that after a certain point, this might not be possible, but in the meantime, it’s a good way to connect with your audience.&lt;/div&gt;
  441. &lt;div style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Libre Franklin&amp;quot;; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7;&quot;&gt;
  442. People don’t visit social media platforms to look at ads. As such, you need to make sure you’re sharing useful information that can help others. Do this consistently, and your followers will share your content with others.&lt;/div&gt;
  443. &lt;h2 style=&quot;border-bottom: 3px solid rgb(68, 68, 68); color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Source Sans Pro&amp;quot;; font-size: 28px;&quot;&gt;
  444. Branding Doesn’t Need to Be a Big Deal&lt;/h2&gt;
  445. &lt;div style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Libre Franklin&amp;quot;; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7;&quot;&gt;
  446. Unless your end game is becoming a social media personality, remember to treat personal branding as a stepping stone to better opportunities in real life.&lt;/div&gt;
  447. &lt;div style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Libre Franklin&amp;quot;; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7;&quot;&gt;
  448. While there’s a lot to take in, the main thing to remember is to be consistent—both in terms of aesthetics and tone. You’ll also want to make sure you post regularly and respond to comments as they come in. After the initial “remodel” phase, your brand should just need some maintenance here and there.&lt;/div&gt;
  449. &lt;div class=&quot;linked-out&quot; style=&quot;color: #432d2d; font-family: &amp;quot;Libre Franklin&amp;quot;; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7;&quot;&gt;
  450. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  451. &lt;/div&gt;
