The Shift to Visual Social Media [infographic]

Social media is one of the cheapest and easiest platforms small businesses can utilize, but some simply don’t know the best way to go about doing it. Here are a few tips. First, you want to make sure your content is relevant and valuable to your audience. Make it informative about your company, something they can relate to, or educate them about the product you sell. Always have a clear call to action. Give them a link to click or a phone number to call. You want to make it as easy as possible for them to engage with you. Secondly, be sure to add a visual element. People’s brains are drawn to images. Colors are shapes that tell a story are far more interesting and easier to digest quickly than black and white text. Having an image to go with your post is crucial if you don’t want your work to just become white noise. Don’t believe me? Check out the infographic below to learn the basics about the shift to visual social media.

The Do’s and Dont’s of Content Marketing [infographic]

Making sure you know the do’s and dont’s of content marketing is really important. Many businesses tend to not value marketing as much as they should anyways, but when they waste time and money on poor content and strategy, it only exacerbates the problem. Market smarter not harder. Take the time and spend the money to make sure you can produce even just one quality whitepaper or email a month. Be sure the content is relevant, well-written, and has clear calls to action. You can then take this piece and divide it up into smaller pieces. Turn each main point into its own little blog you can publish week by week throughout the month. Then take those weekly blogs and cut those up into bites that you can use as posts on your social media a few times a week. Working with clear goals, and most of all purpose, is the main idea. Do things right and do things well, and they will serve you.

7 Types of Employees You Should Fire [infographic]

I know it sounds harsh, but there are simply people in this world who should be fired. They are not a good fit for your team. Some people bring team morale and production down simply by being present. Their negative attitude or habit of bulldozing others in the group is only hurting your bottom line. As a manager, it is your responsibility to take care of your team, to consider their workplace environment, and to actually help manage relationships between them. Sometimes being a manager stinks because you have to do hard things, but you were hired because someone thought you were capable and trustworthy of doing this. So do it. Firing someone is never easy, especially if managers before you have failed to do what should have been done years ago, but be brave. Get into that power pose before the meeting and reassure yourself that you are doing what is best for your team and the overall company. You got this.

A Quick Guide to SEO for Non-Profits [infographic]

Non-profits are often a few years behind in their approach to marketing which is unfortunate for many reasons. Of course, it has always been difficult for non-profits to spend dollars on marketing efforts simply because their true passion is for every cent to go to the cause they endeavor to raise funds for year after year. This is a double-edged sword. While more dollars may go to the cause, they also lose out on potentially far more dollars due to their lack of basic functionality on the marketing side. One of these basics is SEO or the search engine optimization of their website. The bad thing – most non-profits have terrible SEO which keeps people from donating on their site. The good thing – this is a fairly simple and cheap fix many non-profits could do without any hired outside help. Check out the infographic below to see how you can improve your non-profit’s SEO in just a few simple steps.
