I am fresh out of University, newly graduated, navigating the world of career searches and financial burden. A few friends and I would be having our weekly stock market discussion, which by then had basically become scripted…

Business cards are becoming somewhat obsolete, while an Instagram presence is becoming necessary for businesses to grow and succeed.
I remember the days when every business owner carried a stack of crisp business cards at all times, ready to dish them out at a moment's notice.
There was a time when this was the most widely accepted way to exchange information. A simple trade — business card for business card — could facilitate a life long relationship.
Super simple. Name and/or company name, contact info, address, and maybe some extra info or a tagline. That’s about it.
People seemed to really enjoy the whole development and design process as well. I would often see businesses still in their pre-launch…
The crypto currency market is experiencing massive growth, and with that comes new slang. Here are some of the terms and sayings you should know.
#1 HODL
The term “HODL” was coined (pun intended) within an early Bitcoin forum in which a poster misspelled the word HOLD. The term was then adopted and used in place of the properly spelled word for comedic effect.
Some people interpreted it as an acronym that stands for “hold on for dear life” which plays into the idea of holding a trade position.
Example: “We may be on a down trend but don’t sell your position, we have to HODL for the long term”.
#2 Pump & Dump (AKA Rug Pull)
A pump and dump occurs when a group of investors hold a substantial percentage of a coin’s…

There are a number of tools and strategies that Instagram users should take advantage of in order to expand their reach and grow their following.
1. Maximize Use of Hashtag Space
Instagram provides users with the ability to put up to 30, count em’ THIRTY hashtags on any given post. This of course does not mean you have to drop 30 hashtags on every post, but if you have the space, why not use it?
There is a lot of conflicting information floating around the internet, some of which says that using too many hashtags on your post will have the same effect as keyword stuffing on written web content. This however is not the case.
Written web content will be identified and therefore handled differently than hashtag space on Instagram…
The pandemic has created more online entrepreneurs than ever before, and you can imagine how many mistakes are being made.
Lack of Authority
Spending time nurturing your audience is one of the most important precursors to any online launch. If you don’t have credibility, relationships and trust built into your community, people won’t likely buy from you.

How do you gain authority? Not necessarily through a degree, certificates or publications about you (sure those things can help). Even if all of those aspects are in place, they don’t mean anything if you don’t use…

It’s called influencing, and it’s more complex than most people think.
