3 GREAT REASONS TO USE TIK TOK Guest Blog Post By Olivia Blair Back when 2020 was the worst year ever (and we were all stuck at home), one of the only things that would help us pass the time was Tik Tok. It essentially became the “cool kids spot” of social media and therefore gained massive popularity with people of all ages. Personally, it has become of my favourite social media platforms to create and upload with. Why you may ask? Well, here’s my top 3 reasons for using TikTok. 1. Communities While communities have been a thing since almost the beginning of the internet, TikTok is able to take it on a new level by not only developing and growing various communities but also curating new ones of many kinds. As part of the Anime & Manga community, I absolutely adore the overwhelming support and love I receive from my videos. I have made so many online friends simply through our love of anime and manga and thus showing off our collections and admiring others’. There are so many communities on this app that I couldn’t possibly list them all on here. But that’s what makes TikTok an amazing place to connect and network with people who have the same interests as us. We’re also able to learn new things about our hobbies and interests as people share information about their respective topics every day. I love hearing about the latest news within the anime community that I just sometimes don’t have the time to look into or research myself. People within certain communities...

Inspired by an original article from Marc Jarrett We’ve all been there. You’re at a networking event and meet someone with whom you have nothing in common. But it’s already too late. They have started giving you their “spiel”, wasting both your time and theirs. I make a living out of introducing Business to others and as such, I am a voracious networker. It’s the backbone of what I do best – facilitating introductions. Powerful Women Are My Sweet Spot!! Earlier this year, I was invited to take part in a new form of networking powered by WhatsApp Groups, otherwise known as ‘pods’. After paying a small amount of money to the guy that invited me, I was given two links to, one for LinkedIn posts which I was to post daily, the other for general chat. By liking and sharing each other’s content, the power of the crowd saw to it that we all enjoyed significantly more views than we would have done by operating autonomously. All went well for a while. In fact, it was really fun! I was getting to ‘meet’ new and interesting people and absolutely enjoyed engaging with them. Working from home can be a solitary existence, so an outlet for banter and general chat was a welcome addition to my life. ….. but then the problems started to set in. The gatekeeper tightened his rules, and I was told to post even more. After having been self-employed for as long as I can remember, I’m not very good at being told what to do. So I left. Not long...

USING SOCIAL INFLUENCE FOR SOCIAL GOOD Creating a better world through your followers. A Guest Blog By Christina Garnett Influencer marketing is more than just posed content with products and showcasing wealth that you may or may not have. It’s become a hot topic for marketers and brands, with many influencers seen as sell-outs or the next big star. It can and should be so much more. What if you could leverage your follower count to do more? What if you could turn influence into positive change? It also answers one very important question facing brands and marketers today: What Is Social ROI? With brands still focused on vanity metrics, it can be easy to fall into the trap of only caring about your follower counts and then not seeing conversions. These influencers showcase that their follower counts exist as the audience they can then share their passions with. As you’ll see in the options below, these change-makers have found a way to marry their work and skills with the causes that mean the most to them. It leads to campaigns that feel heartfelt and genuine. They empower their audience to act and be a part of something bigger; something better. (1) Australian Bushfires Celeste Barber is one such influencer that is showing that influencers can have a dramatic impact for good. Her Facebook fundraiser for the Australian bushfires is now the most lucrative fundraiser that Facebook has ever had, and it isn’t stopping any time soon. At over $50M and counting, Celeste has well and truly showcased how inspiring...

7 INFLUENCER MARKETING TRENDS FOR 2020 A guest blog by Christina Garnett One thing is for sure, 2020 is going to be a wild ride. Influencer marketing continues to be a hot button issue for brands, agencies, and users alike. As algorithms change, and new platforms such as Tik Tik emerge, how can today’s influencers thrive in 2020? The answer is yes - they need to adapt. More and more brands have determined that influencer marketing can be a valuable addition to their digital content strategy, but they still want to ensure that they see a return on investment. For influencers to continue to maximize brand and agency deals, as well as increase their reach, they will need to prepare. Accordingly, I have created a list of the top 7 influencer marketing trends of 2020. Like Removals Facebook is currently testing like removals in non-US countries around the world, and there is a consensus of the positives that could result. Influencers should not see this as an obstacle to their success but rather an opportunity to adapt. They are going to have to up their content and analytics game. So how can they adapt and prepare for the effects of these removals? (1) More influencers (macro and micro) will utilize media kits and provide reports to showcase their reach. With Instagram and Facebook hiding likes in countries across the world, influencers will still be able to see those likes; they won’t be audience facing. Influencers won’t be able to select as quickly based on their content’s success, so they will need to...

TIK TOK 101 COMPELLING REASONS TO START USING TIK TOK IN 2020 A guest blog post by Pix Jonasson (#ThePixFactor) There are many reasons people use one of the newest social media platforms Tik Tok. If you haven’t heard of it yet, TikTok is the leading destination for short-form mobile video. Their mission is to inspire creativity and bring joy. …… and it certainly works for me. It’s big business already as TikTok has global offices including Los Angeles, New York, London, Paris, Berlin, Dubai, Mumbai, Singapore, Jakarta, Seoul and Tokyo. I use it for the following reasons: (1) Personally (2) Professionally (3) Purely For Fun (1) Personally I’d heard of TikTok previously and knew that @GaryVee uses it. So I thought if it’s good enough for him, it’s damn well good enough for me! My late Dad, Brian, drummed “Communication” into me as I was growing up. So that’s exactly what I do via written and spoken words, using articles, posts, interviews, podcasts, presentations, audio and video to name a few. My social media modalities are Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram. And now…enter TikTok. I see it as another platform to develop my personal brand. Bear in mind that your personal brand IS part of your professional brand too. I say that how you do anything is how you do everything. So personally for me, TikTok is still about me and sharing my journey, my life, my business, my passions, my message. (2) Professionally I am a huge advocate for Healthy Living Inside and Out with a strong focus on mental...

5 BIG TECH TRENDS DECODED Guest blogger Rodney Laws shares a simple explanation for the 5 major tech trends of 2019 & also talks about what to expect in the future. We’re living in a time of wonders, so it’s easy to miss some. Every day, tech publications announce fresh hyped up initialisms. So who’s responsible for all this hype? Some people who understand them, and some who just obsess about anything new. There’s an odd tempo to this process. An idea arrives, gets a lot of buzz, then seems to vanish while people work on the practical applications. If it seems truly viable, it becomes a big industry term seemingly overnight. If it doesn’t, it lingers in limbo, possibly forever. In this piece, we’re going to look at five main concepts that are commonly mentioned in the business world now. Artificial Intelligence (AI) The idea is simple: using technology to mimic elements of human intelligence. It was once best known as a Spielberg movie, but not now. After making enormous practical progress, AI now stands as a vital concern for the biggest brands in the world. Where it currently offers the most utility is in automation, particularly in the digital world. After all, digital demand is now impossible to meet with manual effort alone. With comprehensive AI systems (like the Atos Codex AI Suite), you can offload repetitive tasks. The result is a smarter business, freeing you up to put your time towards more complex issues. And the possibilities are growing rapidly. Consider a common digital marketing task like locating suitable social influencers....

(1) MAKE A PLAN Whether you are doing a video how to get pregnant, how to stop using drugs, or how to train a dog, it is important to make a plan. Before you jump into video marketing, this plan may help you tie everything together. You may want to create a plan that includes the types of videos you will make, the proposed titles for the videos, the descriptions of the videos, and the dates when you will post the videos. You will want to track the metrics (measurements) for each of your videos. So, in your plan, be sure to track the growth from each video, such as the numbers of likes and comments that you have received. Recording this information may help you determine which components in your plan are working and which components are not working. Your plan should also include lists of the platforms you plan to post your videos to. (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Pinterest, etc)...
