COCA-COLA SOLD 25 BOTTLES IN THEIR FIRST YEAR, But That Didn't Stop Them! Now, I really believe that the beginning of a thing CANNOT predict the end, but this is really amazing. It might interest you to know that the same Coca-Cola sells millions of bottles of the same product each year. Friend, don't despise that little beginning today, your growth is unpredictable.
For real, I thought to myself that this is one thing you need to know. I couldn't wait till tomorrow to tell you, that's why you're getting it tonight. Don't Give Up! Never Quit!! Don't Back Out!!! Consistency is something you shouldn't trade for anything. Even if its not working out, just hang in there. Of course the present may not look like the expected result, just hang in there. Its not over yet, and the best is yet to come!
Have a blessed night.

Of course, you already know that the world of business isn't limited to the four walls of your organization, business now thrives on social media platforms. And 93.4% of top global companies have a strong social media reputation which has been built and maintained over the years. Now, you really have to decide of you want your organization to join the list of fortune companies or not.
You may not know, but the truth is social media marketing is responsible for a large percentage of a company's ROI (Return On Investment) than any other offline marketing strategy. In essence, social media marketing offers more than you can imagine.

1. It helps you reach out to your targeted audience. You'll agree that every company has a targeted audience whom they plan to reach out to. This audience forms the category known as ‘potential clients’. They're potential clients because your product or service is relevant to them and there's a high possibility that you'll record high sales when you reach out to the right people. As you already know, a boutique's advertisement may be irrelevant on a real estate website or blog. Social media marketing will help you reach out to the right people whenever and wherever.

2. You can also track your sales, customers’ opinions and customer's behavior on your website or blog. Your customers have a lot to say about your products and the services you offer. It may be positive or negative, all feedbacks and comments will help you serve them better. Social media is all about building reputations, so your customers reviews will always count. You can also know (if you want to) what your site visitors do when they visit your page. You can tell what pages they stayed on, what they clicked, the amount of time spent and the sites they visited after leaving your blog. There are several web analytics softwares designed to suit your business. You may also want to review your total sales, search engines ranking and your total ROI. All these are possible in the world of SMM (Social Media Marketing).

3. More audience is equal to more sales.
This is indeed really simple! The higher the number of
people you can reach, the higher the sales you can make.
But remember, if you aren't reaching out to the right
audience, you're wasting your time. There are indeed
tested and trusted methods for turning site visitors to
customers and thereby increasing your sales funnel. All
you need do is reach out to the right audience.

4. With Social media, you can make, track and review
your marketing goals. Whatever your reason may be for
choosing SMM, its easy to review it periodically. Reasons
people actually choose Social media for marketing vary.
SMM helps you achieve goals like:
• Increasing sales funnel
• Higher search engines ranking
• Better customer service and relationship management
• Brand awareness
• Website traffic and much more.

You can only measure your ROI when you set goals for your
Social media marketing.

5. Good online reputation will win the hearts of your
customers and make them customers for life.
Business in this century isn't about what you say about
yourself any longer, it's now about what people say about
you. With the sincere endorsement from just one
customer, you can make sales at an increased rate of
3.7%. Also, blog visitors who become customers as a
result of social media engagement will become long term
customers. When your customers are happy with your
services, they will promote it by sharing your page on
their Facebook pages, twitter accounts, pin interest, blogs
and all other social media platforms where they belong.


Are you in for Social Media Marketing? To get started, you'll be needing these:
• A Content writer with good knowledge of SEO
• A blog or website
• A social media manager who'll manage your social media pages and oversee your social media campaigns and targeted adverts. A good knowledge of Web Analytics will be an added advantage.

Now, you're good to go ✔

What wakes you in the morning? A cock crow? A muezzin's call to prayer?
Your alarm clock? That's not really important anyway. What do you do when
you get out of bed? That's more important. You may have noticed, its slowly
becoming a routine for people to rush out of bed and head for the bath tub
straight away. Mornings seem to be filled with more pressure than necessary.
You want to know what inspired this post? I came across a photo one Sunday
night which boldly read: "We Hate Monday Mornings." Oh! really? Monday or
Friday, mornings are the same. From a personal research, I discovered that
there's usually an increase in individuals' productivity on Fridays unlike any
other day. And the simple reason is this, It has become a normal thing for
people to say: "Thank God its Friday" as soon as they're awake. There's
always an unusual happiness to welcome another weekend. This happiness is
the secret reason behind the optimism and rare energy people exhibit mostly
on Fridays. What if everyday was a Friday? It doesn't make sense right? How
about you repeating some Friday morning habits on every other morning? You
can consciously increase your daily productivity by mastering some great
morning habits, even if they require that you get out of bed earlier than usual.
1. Don't skip Breakfast. According to health specialists, breakfast is the most
important meal of the day. It activates your mind and sets you on course for
the day's task. No matter how busy you think you are, you'll have to squeeze
sometime out for breakfast. It doesn't have to be heavy though.
2. Read something inspiring. You never can tell how powerful this is, and you
can never underestimate it's impact. Find a book and read probably just one
chapter. It could be also be a poem. Visit a blog, read an article, listen to a
radio broadcast, watch a 4minutes video clip. As long as its something
inspiring.
3. Make a to-do list. If you're self employed or you work from home, you really
need to get used to this. It helps you plan your day. A to-do list makes it
easier for you to list the day's tasks, set goals and review them. It plans your
time too. If you don't know how to make a to-do list, you definitely need to
learn that fast.
4. Develop a Positive Mental Attitude. Your ability to stay positive may be your
greatest asset. Approach each day with a positive mental attitude. Be
optimistic about everything. Kill your fears. Don't think you'll have a bad day.
Don't think you'll be faced with herculean tasks. Don't think you'll get fired.
The reason is simple. Your mind has a way of constantly bringing your
thoughts to reality. Don't think negative, be positive.
5. Look in your mirror like you've never done before. Spend some seconds
staring at your face. While doing this, activate your imaginative power. Let
your mind travel far and wide, let it help you imagine all the things you can
achieve. You may want to say them, write them or just leave them in your
heart. Whatever your mind can conceive, your hands can achieve.
If you give these habits a try, you'll match out of your door with a lifted
head, a higher jaw and a confident you, that's ready for the day. All you'll do is
Win.

Faremisodeeq, I'm glad you found the post helpful

Here is a list of common mistakes most students make in their first year.
1. Underestimating College: Students who perform excellently well in school
tend to have developed a serious attitude towards academic work right from
their first year. It is really difficult trying to adjust after a whole session. If you
can successfully develop the right attitude towards learning from the inception
of the semester, you're sure to do better and become better by the day.
2. Over or under socializing: For many students, going to the university or
college as is suitable for your locale is a break from the bars of home. This
makes many of them go to the extreme in mixing up quickly. Of course you
might have taken notice of some of your students who attend all social
events. As a really first opportunity for many to live life on their own terms,
the result is usually late bed calls, little or no sleep, hanging out late with
friends, e.t.c
Also, under socializing is bad. You need to socialize WHERE AND WHEN
NECESSARY. Avoid being disconnected from happenings around you. You just
need to find the right balance.
3. Not asking for assistance: It is normal for most students to be reserved at
resumption, but it is wrong to remain inside your shell all through the session.
If you have a problem with both academics and extra curricular activities, don't
hesitate to ask someone. You shouldn't also make assumptions. Assumption is
the lowest level of knowledge. Most of the errors committed by students is as
a result of this. Nobody is an island of knowledge. You definitely have
something to learn from others.
4. Reckless Spending: It is assumed by your parents that you should be able
to take care of yourself and manage your finances. At first year, every student
is feeling big, so the temptation is there to try out every new snack, clothes,
mobile phones, eateries, fun parks and so on to prove to the world that you're
really cool. It is a pity that most students do not learn the art of savings till
their second or third year.
5. Forgetting those at home: If you left your friends back at home to go to the
university, never forget them. Its a common error to find people making new
friends at the expense of old reliable ones. Always keep a close conversation
with friends who left for other schools. Your old friends are usually the best.
