Liverpool are said to be cursed and may not cling to the Premier league title this season due to the Coronavirus pandemic popularly called #COVID19 currently ravaging the world. Now, fans are saying the unbeaten run is a waste of our time therefore Liverpool has started to “Walk alone”.

In the Spanish League, Real Madrid have been shaded as a low-grade team that should be competing with the likes of Real Betis, Eibar, Villarreal etc. due to the traumatic exit of Christiano Ronaldo to Juventus in the Serie A. While football fans globally are patiently waiting to see the down-fall of FCBarcelona when Lionel Messi eventually decides to exit the club after the club management and sports directors have tried severally to bring in new skillful players and team coach like Phillip Coutinho, Ousmane Dembele, Anthony Griezmann and Neymar Jnr. etc. to help stand against the possible shock that may arise as a result of the exit.

Business / Top 5 Important Don’ts Of Networking Follow- Up In 2020 by Daniiola(m): 5:16pm On Jan 20, 2020
Networking has the ability to open many doors to anyone at any stage of their career. Meeting and talking to the right people can earn you free advice, awareness for you and your company, word-of-mouth referrals and if done correctly, networking has the potential to gain you credibility, trust, professionalism, knowledge, and expertise.

Here’s a list of five things to avoid when networking:

1. Don’t go all in — Never send messages severally to all the business cards you receive. If you must send messages at all minimize the number of networks you intend reaching out to based on how you easily connected during the meet. Also, beware of the time of the day to send emails, we advise you send your emails either before late noon or in the evenings

2. Don’t be afraid to ask questions — Almost everyone is worried about appearing stupid or ignorant but there’s no need. Asking questions does not portray ignorance, rather, it shows a willingness to learn. The vast majority of people you will meet will be willing to pitch a thing or two of their knowledge and expertise, so make sure you listen intently and ask as many questions as you can.

3. Don’t overzealously self-promote — It is important that you build a relationship first. Of course, you can talk about your products/services but don’t be overzealous to the extent that all you incessantly talk about seems to be ‘my product this, my product that,’ this tactic is more likely to annoy than build valuable relationships.

4. Don’t forget to follow up — At least a minimum of 2 days from the day of the meeting should be ideal enough to follow-up on your network. Why? You want the memory of the meeting to remain fresh. This way you won’t seem like a thorn in their flesh. Delay in following up will make them quickly forget those they met at the gathering, and you don’t want that.

5. Don’t be timid — When it comes to networking, timidity is a thing that should stay back, well way back. Never feel intimidated to speak to anyone at networking gatherings, be it online or offline. More importantly, never feel intimidated to re-connect with the contacts you’ve made at these gatherings.

Conclusively, it is important to note that networking gatherings are excellent platforms to meet people one-on-one and sell yourself as well as your brand. So, be excited to introduce your brand when the opportunity arises.

Career / Ghostwriting And Copywriting: Are There Really Any Differences? by Daniiola(m): 4:05pm On Oct 30, 2019
Relatively, content drives all forms of marketing but when it’s time to outsource copywriting (or content writing) to bolster your marketing strategy, you need to be clear on one thing: Should you hire a copywriter or a content writer?

Now let’s get down to identifying what they really are;

Ghostwriting: A ghostwriter is hired to write literary or journalistic works, speeches, or other texts that are officially credited to another person as the author.
Copywriting: Copywriting is the act or occupation of writing for the purpose of advertising or other forms of marketing. The product, called copy, is written content that aims to increase brand awareness and ultimately persuade a person or group to take a particular action
Having highlighted the meaning of those two forms of writing, their difference can be easily spotted;

The AIM is one major factor that differentiates ghostwriting and copywriting. Ghostwriting is aimed at writing for an individual who for many reasons can’t take the time to write them, and in most cases, freelancers are hired to do this job.
While copywriting is aimed at introducing a brand/product to create brand visibility and awareness without having to stay anonymous.

The OWNERSHIP also incites the difference between these two. Ghostwriting is never owned by the real writer after all he’s writing on behalf of someone else, to the fact that he doesn’t take any credit whatsoever for the work done apart from being paid to do the job.
Example: A freelancer can be hired to write a short novel or a song as a ghostwriter that means the book/song will be written but the fellow who gave him the job will take up ownership of the work.

For Copywriting, he seem like the alpha and omega as he writes with identity, he has no reason to be anonymous. Copywriters also work in-house for retail chains, book publishers or other big firms that advertise frequently. They can also be employed to write advertorials for newspapers, magazines, and broadcasters.

Third, Working ethics
To some people they consider the jobs done by a ghostwriter unethical, meaning they don’t think it is right.

Example: You can read a book by an author while unknown to the reader what they thought was written by the author was actually written by a ghostwriter and not by the author’s name written on the book cover.
So, to many, they don’t think it’s right since it seem they are being deceived into reading another individual’s thoughts and not the thoughts of the supposed author whose name is written on the book cover.

In Conclusion, either you want to hire the service of a ghostwriter or a content writer be sure the ideas/thoughts expressed in the write-ups match with yours. So. you’d not risk exposing yourself to some unwanted public situations.

Career / The Basic Guide To Launching Your First Business Website by Daniiola(m): 2:37pm On Oct 24, 2019
Launching a website can be stressful and quite overwhelming. It doesn't matter if it a blog or a business website, the challenge is still the same: you’d still need to promote your site so visitors can find you and enjoy your content.
I get to hear startups complaining of having the desired visit their blogs has they have wanted. This post will provide a springboard on how to effectively launch your site.

Set up a pre-website page
Before the initial launch, set up a pre-launch webpage while you are still working on the bigger picture. The pre-launch page enables you to call visitors attention to it, so while the mother website is getting ready the pre-launch already has a foot hold of visitors. That way they have built interest and enthusiasm about the site.

Tangible high quality contents
One major important aspect of gaining more traffic to your new website is the presence of high quality content, as you officially launch your website visitors would want to see high quality content. We advise a minimum of 3 and maximum of 10 high-quality contents, this content would capture the attention of your audience and prove to them the would always find quality materials whenever they visit your site before the initial launch.
An Email sign-up list
On your website provide a means whereby your visitors can sign up to receive emails. As a website owner sign-up with an email marketing service like Mailchimp and attach an opt-in box to your site.
The very essence of you sending mails is a form of marketing, that enables you give singular information to your website visitors.

Invest on SEO
The SEO game is top-notch for brand visibility and awareness, as a website owner SEO should be part of your strategies to gain more visitors to your site. Hire a professional SEM/SEO expert to help you build your SEO metrics. It is to the benefit of your website traffic if your name comes up on search categories on popular search engines.
SEO has a big role to play in your website traffic and also website performance and conversion. Traffic on the search engine is the best traffic because people are actually searching for what you solve. Google, which is one of the top search engines has over 40,000 search queries every second on average which translates to over 3.5Million searches per day. So if you are looking to make sales, grow your business and keep people engaged with your website then invest more in search engine optimization.

Make sure your website is user-friendly
Having a website which users can navigate and use easily is a head start to having frequent visits. Users wants a website they can easily access from the comfort of their smartphone with having it “jammed” or displaying “error-550”, therefore when building a website be sure to test run it on both desktop and mobile interface.
One of the major website visits are often en-route from smartphones than from desktop users due to the fact that smartphones are easily carried around compared to desktops.



UI interface should be appealing
Interestingly, a well appealing site with graphics and attractive interface would often keep the visitors engaged. A well designed website with creative UX designs will keep visitors on the website longer than they intend to stay.

The Bottom line
Your website should give a first impression when people visit it, remember that whenever people approach your website they ask themselves “why am i here, what’s in it for me”

Business / UI And UX Design Trends To Look Out For In 2020 by Daniiola(m): 2:19pm On Oct 24, 2019
As a designer it’s you stay top on trends and happenings, especially the rate at which improvements are made to several phases of material use. As a UI and UX designer it is important to stay fresh when it comes to relating to what’s going on, especially with the introduction of new phone designs and specification.

For designers, it has become mandatory to stay in touch with up and coming UXD trends to meet future demands and newly introduced design requirements.
We would help you highlight some trendy designs to concentrate on building your focus on for 2020;

Colorful and compelling illustrative murals
Every passing year, UX design trends and techniques change. UX is incomplete without content. Take into consideration that you are offering relevant and accessible content to your target audience. Aim to hit the appropriate content and the right technology to offer the most relevant user experience possible.

Voice User interaction and AI technology
The entrance of AI on mobile has paved way for greater exploit by phone manufacturers.. Artificial intelligence is commonly used in smartphones as a voice assistant and for face unlocking, beautifying, and smart video shooting. Following the trend, it seems like, voice and vision functionality will have more advancement the way it has shifted from GUI to VUI.

Virtual effects and Virtual Reality
A complex animation may be slow to load for users. Such concern will not exist anymore in 2020 and beyond with the rise of 5G.
5G will completely revolutionize the way we currently design. A website with static images and contents may still be acceptable now but it may be perceived as dull and boring in the future. 5G combined with significantly better mobile display quality allows designers to be creative in animating texts, fonts, graphics, the entrance of various elements, etc

Designing for Speed
As mentioned earlier, 5G is finally starting to roll out across the globe. Data transfer speed and latency time will improve significantly. What this means for you is that slowness on any page, any function, any moment is not acceptable to users anymore.
It is rumored that all iPhone releases from 2020 will come with 5G capability.
A slow website or slow digital applications will be regarded as having bad UX. Before doing any form of UX research, make sure that your site is fast or the first thing you will get from your users is that “it is slow”.

Custom-made Graphics
A good picture with people relevant to your business will always add spice to your business. In addition, your business will appear more appealing, relatable and approachable.
However, if you do not possess such pictures, it is not necessary to buy stock photos with faces that you do not recognize. Instead, consider designing your own unique graphics to feature in your website or digital contents. Coincidentally, Olympic Games Tokyo will take
place in 2020, systematically think of graphics around, manga, and anime when you think of Japan. It will inspire the use of unique graphics and special characters.

The Bottom Line: UX will experience a massive turn in the coming year.

Business / Top 5 Online Platforms To Make Money As A Freelancer by Daniiola(m): 1:05pm On Oct 24, 2019
Having a second source of income is often the real idea of staying financially stable, there are several platforms that facilitate this method of making money online.

First, what does “Freelancing” mean or rather who is a “Freelancer”?

Freelance, freelancer and freelance worker are terms commonly used for a person who is self-employed and is not necessarily committed to a particular employer long-term

There are several online platforms that are well known for their high volume of freelancing job opportunities;
FIVERR
Fiverr is a very popular Israeli online marketplace for freelance services. Founded in 2010, the company is based in Tel Aviv, Israel, and provides a platform for freelancers to offer services to customers worldwide. It was founded by Micha Kaufman. It boasts of several free-lancing options and this platform happened to be a stop for agencies who need freelance workers like content writers, graphic designers and so much more.

Originally, it is a source for finding low-cost logos and design work Fiverr has since ballooned into a massive freelancing site with plenty of opportunities for hard-working freelancers.

What makes Fiverr different from other sites is that Fiverr is a great source for finding quick, simple work at a relatively low price such as logos, 500-word blog posts, or short whiteboard videos.

Did you think of making more money working online? Then try Fiverr.com

UPWORK
Upwork is a renowned freelancing website. Upwork, formerly known as Elance-oDesk, is a global freelancing platform where businesses and independent professionals connect and collaborate remotely. In 2015, Elance-oDesk was rebranded as Upwork. It is based in Mountain View and San Francisco, California. The full name is Upwork Global Inc.

While Fiverr is the spot for quick, simple work, Upwork is on the other end of the online freelancer job spectrum. It serves more like a “job listing” platform where companies post the job they need to be done and freelancers will bid competitively on such job opening.

FREELANCER
Freelancer is an Australian freelancing marketplace website, which allows employers to post jobs that freelancers can then bid to complete. It was founded in 2009, with its headquarters located in Sydney, Australia, other offices. With freelancers from more 250 countries around the world.

Through their marketplace, employers can readily hire freelancers to do work in areas such as software development, writing, data entry, and design right through to engineering, the sciences, sales and marketing, accounting and legal services.

PeoplePerHour
This platform is a go-to for start-up businesses or SMEs looking to grow flexibly by hiring freelancers to handle projects rather than hiring in-house or via agencies.

One difference Peopleperhour had compared to the other aforementioned freelance platform is that employers pay freelancers a deposit for the commencement of the work then once the freelancer has completed the job and they are satisfied they would pay up the balance unlike other platforms where the client only pays after the job is done and they are satisfied with the job delivery.

NCubeRoot
NCubeRoot, another especial startup hub, and freelance platform, a safe one where freelancers can find a new model to build their success. They have got their own style of working, this makes them unique from other websites. You can pick up projects matching your skills from a large pool of quality filled projects from various fields.

Professionals get a great way to choose projects that may lighten your career.
In Conclusion, Freelancing is a sure way of getting extra cash legitimately working online.

Business / 5 Tips That Makes A Product Stay Relevant. by Daniiola(m): 1:28pm On Sep 16, 2019
Every day we wake up to new developments from various brands when we look around us, we see products that have evolved along the years, none looked like what it was when it first hit the market, products like car models, gadgets, tech solutions, consumables and lots more. This products along the years have been upgraded to suit the present daily life of customers, and this method of improving products has helped many brands remain as top players in their various industries.

Today, in this article we would be sharing methods on how your solutions can always look new and surprising.

1- One at a time
This is a very important aspect of the life span of every new product/solution that comes into the market, the owners should bear in mind that you don’t cramp in all the possibilities of the solutions at once. The truth is there should still be room for improvement.
For example;
When Facebook was founded in February 2004, the app did not have all of the features we see on it today but the owner Mark Zuckerburg knew what he wanted the platform to have and instead of churning all the features we see on Facebook today at once he was introducing them one at a time.
The above analogy has helped Facebook stay relevant in the social media sphere as we all get to see new improvement making it look new always. Also, as marketing personnel or owner of a solution be careful of bringing in all the possibilities at once if you intend to remain in the market for a long time.

2. Branding
It is simply the “how” your product looks, brands like the aforementioned tip might decide to add a new feature to their solution but it is important to also give that product a fine-tuned facelift, it affects the already known product/service positively if the branding is professionally done correctly. It enables your product/solution look new, professionals who are tailored at branding businesses should be contacted to help drive rebranding.

3. Your workforce: How informed are they?
You have a solution that most of your employees don’t really have a clue of what it all entails, how then can they convince a prospect to do business with your brand. It is important that every employee has a piece of valid up-to-date information about the product/solution their company provides.

4. Marketing
This in our context is the word ‘advertising’, this is an important aspect of every brand. Nobody knows you have a new solution except you advertise either one-on-one or via the internet. The most efficient way of advertising is via the internet, knowing we are in a technology age where anyone can use the internet from the comfort of their location. Therefore, programmatic advertising should be of a very high advantage for any brand who wants to make their new solution/product visible.

5. Target Sales
This is an aspect that entails who you had in mind when developing the solution/product, who will it benefit more. At this stage, we are talking about demographic variations. Some products/services are tailored to suit one gender and some to suit both genders. It is important to know who the solution would suit as this will help you in knowing who your target audience is.

Driving sales is much easier with the right tool and funnel.

Business / 6 Tips On Maintaining A Positive Attitude In Customer Service by Daniiola(m): 1:01pm On Sep 16, 2019
Maintaining a positive attitude is important when relating to customers. Being positive towards customers is a state of the mind and it is such that requires understanding and patience.

Below are a few tips that will help you positively influence customers.

1- Having a clear mind: Staying positive is a thing of the mind, at such identify what keeps you calm and make it a daily ritual. For me, in the morning when I wake I do tune-up to listen to good music and I whistle along as I get prepared for work. Discover what gives you the morning positive energy. Whatever it is should give you a positive frame of mind to start with.

2- The use of positive language: A clear mind will often brew the right polite language because at this point your mind is positive and getting a negative feedback from a customer spotting every loop in the service you render due to the customer not using the service properly will meet a calm, reassuring and accommodating response from you.

3- Deliver more than you promise: When you exceed your customer’s expectations, they love it. We tell brands to not just aim at query resolution but should also look out for opportunities beyond this. In other words, you can provide them with a free upgrade or webinar or whatever you find convenient. This will help boost the number of satisfied customers and create a positive attitude in your customer service.

4- Be considerate: This is more like putting yourself in the shoes of your customers, that is seeing from their own perspective. Doing this helps you know what your customer challenges are and also to know what solution is best to recommend.

5- Taking the shot: When it comes to customer services this is one vital area every customer service representative must consider important, in the cause of attending to the queries of customers you would receive negative feedback from some of the customers. As customer service personnel, you should handle such negative feedback tactically with positive reassuring responses, don’t be caught off-guard by negative feedbacks.
6- Be genuine and prompt: This is a form of being sincere and spontaneous, maybe a customer called in to make a complaint about a product he procured from your company, it is important to note that if you readily don’t have enough knowledge to properly help the customer out it is best you refer the customer to someone who you know can, this is sincerity and genuine. Timing is important, you should also be able to deliver on the customer request within a short space of time.

A true customer service personnel is always apt to help.

For example; A young brand that for the reason of visibility is on over 5 social media platforms, the result of this is less productivity and visibility. Such a brand can’t handle a large number of social media accounts yet. We advise they opt for one or two and manage it effectively.



2 Time and resource

Your ad budget is effectively utilized since now you can easily channel your ads energy to the right sources where your audience needs to find them.



3 Trust

Many times this will be built on conversations, and it’s a more reason why a brand should choose few platforms to announce their presence because several unattended to conversations on several platforms will give such brand a bad customer-relation reputation, which will tell heavily on their sales and conversions.

Groups on WhatsApp are effective in communication. On a WhatsApp group, messages are sent and seen by your audience. Providing real-time customer service is often a hard task for growing businesses, but with WhatsApp, you and your small staff can answer any questions your customers might have quickly. And because the app supports rich media, you can use text, audio or video to provide a personal customer service experience.

With the feedback you receive from your customers, you can respond to their requests and improve the products and services you provide.

Demo Your Product

As soon as you build rapport, promote your product/services and it will click. Promoting your products is good, it increases awareness and visibility. However, your promoted products/services gain more attention when people believe in your brand. Through WhatsApp groups, WhatsApp broadcast and WhatsApp status features, you can promote your products/services to the desired target market on your contact list. Whether you make your own products or just sell them as a retailer, you can demo them on Status and let your group know when you have a new item in your inventory.

Even if the customer doesn’t need this particular product now, knowing it is available, what it does, and how to use it will keep the product and your business top of mind when the time comes to buy.

Again, you must be careful about what you promote and share. Exercise discretion in all you sharing!
3. Feedback
