Social media can be incredibly effective at connecting you with loved ones, colleagues, and clients, but if it is not monitored correctly, your information can fall into the wrong hands. We’ve heard of a few horror stories recently and wanted to re-share some of the straight-forward tasks that all social media users should consider in order to keep their personal and professional accounts safe.
Video production is the present and future of business. If it seems intimidating and you are unsure of whether or not it’s worth the time and resources, let us assure you it is worth it. According to Wyzowl, 85% of businesses use video as a marketing tool and 92% of marketers who use video say that it’s an important part of their marketing strategy. In a world where content is primarily text and images, think about how captivating a video is instead.
So, where do you start? It’s important your video content is in line with your business and goals. Here are eight content ideas to jumpstart your marketing efforts:
Google is focused on helping you maximize the way you interact with news on your mobile device and more importantly, news that you want to read. That is why they created Web Stories, a “full-screen, visual experience optimized for your mobile device.”
When you open your Google app on your smartphone, you will see a variety of articles or “Web Stories” that are fed to you based on what you commonly search or content that you interact with regularly. For instance, if you are frequently googling information on a specific area, you will most likely be fed articles related to that area.
From a business perspective, it is important to know how to create Google Web Stories for your clients. Getting in front of your community in this way can keep you top of mind and serve as a way to spread important news quickly.

If your employees are content, they will be your strongest advocates for your business.
As a business owner, you strive to get the word out to the public about your services and the success of your work. Many do not consider the power your employees have. They are walking billboards and free billboards at that! It costs $0 to have your employees tell their friends, families, former colleagues, and strangers on the street how wonderful it is to work...
Google is at it again to ensure that consumers are seeing content that actually matters to them. Google Discover is “helping you stay organized and in the know about the things that matter to you.” Google is doing the guesswork based on the content you normally consume, search for, or are sent from others. You are fed content that you didn't even know you wanted or needed.
So, what’s the catch? There’s no way to optimize your search results in Google Discover. As a business, you’re probably wondering, “how can I appear on my consumers’ search page?” Well, that’s not the point of Google Discover. But there are two simple tips that researchers have found to be helpful in better understanding and utilizing the platform:
That seems like the bread and butter to most businesses anyway, right? If that’s...
Google wants to see your business succeed which is why they’ve created a free video creation tool for YouTube. If you’re a business owner with little-to-no video experience, this is for you! It’s a straight-forward, dummy-proof way of marketing.
When I moved to Los Angeles in 2016, I immersed myself in everything outdoors. I took up peak bagging in the mountains of Southern California and Sierra Nevada. It didn't take long for me to notice the uneven ratio of men to women sharing the trail with me.
While the gender scales have balanced out over the years, the outdoor industry still suffers from a noticeable lack of diversity. In the same vein, it was hard to find online communities where women of the outdoors could share their experiences in a safe and moderated environment.
