WhatsApp Status is a useful tool for creating awareness of your products and services. It's an easy way of advertising your products to your contacts and getting them to know what you do. Conversion is usually high when selling on WhatsApp because the issue of trust is out of the question.

When posting products on your WhatsApp status, try not to post too many products at a go it distracts your audience and bounces them out.

But maka why�‍♀️

Because attraction is a crucial factor in messenger marketing. Having too many products on your status scares them away, and of course we also both know the cost of data too. Attraction captures attention. Attention creates interest & interest lead to sales.

Barry Schwartz, a psychologist, described this phenomenon in his famous book as “the paradox of choice”: While we consider variety to be a good thing, at the same time, it makes our decisions more challenging. Too many options also create decision fatigue

How should I post instead?

I'm glad you asked, I'll answer right away.

Better still you can categorize the products and post them on different days. You can use tag "Tuesday for sneakers" or "Wednesday for corporate" if you sell shoes.

Get the idea?

The essence of it, it's to enable your customers to view your status and make a better buying decision by pre-informing them about the category of products that follow.

Or if you're using WhatsApp Business App, you can use the catalog section in displaying your product in a grid format and invite your audience to view it.

Make viewing your products interesting and it will attract more views and increase your chances of getting more sales.

Think about this next time you upload products on any platform.

1, Good manners are not ostentatious. Good manners should never be showy or call attention to themselves. In fact they should not even be immediately noticeable in the moment and instead should create an overall positive impression, which the people with whom you interact only reflect on later: “I really enjoy his company.” “I had such a good time at his party.”Read more-http:///2d6wsOL

You've heard it a million times: Practice makes perfect.

That's especially true when it comes to interviewing for jobs.

We all want it. We set our goals. We have our dreams. And then we try to fill the gap by pouring in motivation.

But of course, it isn’t as easy as one might think. Being motivated can be hard. So ultimately, you’ve got to make sure you’re doing it right!

So here I will highlight the 7 motivation killers that are dragging you down. This should help you weed out the things that have been leaching on your motivation all this time.


What May Be Killing Your Motivation

1. People who put you down

Straight up. Avoid these people. They’re simply insecure to the point that they’ve to take it out on the world as they’re afraid of other people’s success.

Eliminate these people in your life and create a healthy environment for yourself.

2. Negative news

It’s a sad thing that most of the news we read today are just bad or sad. We’ve natural disasters, corrupted politicians and a random innocent victim who got robbed. It’s a small wonder people lose their confidence or even get depressed.

The eyes are the messengers of the soul. We “keep our eyes open (or peeled),” we “see eye-to-eye” with some but “turn a blind eye” to others. Some people are “more than meets the eye,” some are “the apple of your eye,” and some “a sight for sore eyes.” You may prefer “not to bat an eye” but be sure that no one can “pull the wool over your eyes.”

We can accurately read emotions just from eye slits, which is why talking to people wearing dark glasses, or worse, mirrored lenses can be so problematic. Continue reading»»

It's important to remain curious, constantly learning and moving forwards.


To be creative you have to always be learning and always trying to find ways to make learning an enjoyable game for yourself.

Knowledge is different from learning. Knowledge is a stockpile. It’s a static accumulation. It is more important to learn than to know.


Learning is not about creating a store of knowledge. To learn, the mind has to be completely free. The mind cannot learn for a purpose. It has to explore in an open ended way. Continue Reading»»

A good day starts with a great morning ritual. One that consists of healthy habits, some quiet time for yourself and successful routines.

How you spend your morning is how you spend the rest of the day, and basically how you spend your whole life, as it is a series of days.

And if you manage to start each one with a few of the following, you’re sure to have the life of the people you look up to – the great successful role models of our time that know how to be productive and are mindful of everything they do.

So here are the best things you can include in your morning ritual:

1. Get up early

It all starts here. It won’t really matter what you’re going to do first thing after getting up, if it’s already noon and everyone else has got so much stuff done.

That’s a keystone habit, a powerful one. It takes time, but it’s worth it. Once you implement this every day, it will affect other habits – you’ll have more energy, be more productive, go to bed earlier, find time for yourself, etc.

Also, there’s something magical about the early hours of the morning. So use them in the best way possible. Continue Reading»»

You know what success means to you, you’ve set your goals for the year, and you’re committed to making them happen.

Congratulations.

Or maybe you haven’t done any of the above, but you still want to make 2015 your most successful year to date.

Whatever situation you are in, I’ve got ten tough questions you must ask yourself regularly over the next 12 months.

Let’s get started before one of us loses our nerve:

1. Am I Harnessing the Power of Small Daily Wins?

It’s difficult to accomplish a major personal or professional goal through a short bout of intense productivity. For example, if you want to write a book this year it’s unlikely that you’ll write this goal in a single week or even in a single month. Continue Reading»»

Staying up-to-date with emergent technologies and trends — as well as the skills needed to master them — will help you offset the lightning-fast pace of skills disruption and keep you ahead of the curve. Continuous learning is the key to maintaining an ongoing competitive advantage, both for individuals and organizations.

On that note, here are the top six tech skills that Pluralsight has identified as not just "nice to know," but "need to know," in 2015:


1. Coding.
As I've written recently, coding is the number-one skill in demand today worldwide. Although coding and computer science are still marginalized in the K-12 education system, it's clear that the ability to code has become as important as other basic forms of literacy like reading and math.

The powerful thinking tool of the greats
Solitude can not only help breathe new life into our hectic schedules, but help keep us focused and on the right track to achieving our goals. Solitude has been used as an extremely powerful thinking tool by some of the most remarkable men and women to have ever stepped foot on this earth.


As the great Thomas Edison once said, "The best thinking has been done in solitude. The worst thinking has been done in turmoil." 

When I see that quote, it speaks to me in a number of different ways. For starters, turmoil doesn't necessarily have to be some ginormous tragedy or failure, it can simply relate to our hectic and busy lives. When decision-making takes place and our lives seem to be going in a hundred different directions, nothing good can come out of that. However, when we spend time alone in a nice and quiet setting, our decision-making becomes golden. 

No distractions, just you and your thoughts. Solitude is food for the soul.

Your "likability" factor is largely determined by your ability to effectively listen to client and customer suggestions and successfully respond to their needs, requests, and concerns. But you don't have to be born with the gift of gab to become an expert communicator.

Here are six tips to help you become a better listener and actually hear what others are saying, not just what you think they are saying or what you want to hear.

1. Show a real interest.

When you speak to someone, especially in a busy or loud environment, give him or her your full attention. If you find yourself distracted or can't hear them well, ask to move to a quieter area.

Practice empathetic listening. Put yourself in his or her shoes and try to see the situation through his or her eyes. Ask questions and encourage the other person to elaborate. Even if you haven't experienced the same situation, try sharing a personal story about a time when you felt similarly. Continue Reading»»

Some women shudder at the thought of leaving the house without a carefully applied layer of makeup. But the trick to appearing more attractive to others may have as much to do with our facial expressions or body language as the cosmetics we wear. 

It's been shown that when women wear makeup they appear more trustworthy and competent than their bare-faced peers. But a widely reported study published last May in the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology had a different take: both men and women think ladies look better wearing less makeup. 


Facial cosmetics have little effect on attractiveness judgements compared with a natural appearance, according to researchers. Continue Reading»»
