Other social media are important for some especial niches or locations. It’s good to know about all of them and choose the best social media that help your aim.
Until recently, Snapchatters who love to use the Snapchat app regularly and upload pictures in a huge count had a problem with Snapchat. But now they can make a public profile with just a few clicks.
It is been around a year since Snapchat rolled out basic Public profiles to everyone. By this profile, it can tell you are a regular, active user which now can put a step further. To receive this profile, you will need to have at least 5000 Subscribers and also apply to Snapchat’s program using a Google form.
How to create a public profile on Snapchat
Now it is time to start our work. To create our public profile, we need two main steps which are “Going public” and “Making public profile”. Here we go;
Part one: Going Public
Open your Snapchat and then click on your profile icon which is located top left corner of the screen
You will see the new screen with profile details. Click on the “Gear” icon in the right corner.
Choose the “WHO CAN….” tab and change all the settings under it like given here:
Contact Me: change it to “Everyone”
Send Me Notifications: change it to “Everyone”
View My Story: change it to “Everyone”
See My Location: select “My Friends”
Use My Cameos Selfie: change it to “Everyone”
See Me in Quick Add: turn it on
After changing all the settings, close the Snapchat app and restart it.
Finally, your profile became a public account on Snapchat and now your friends and other people will see you in suggestions and find your posts on the platform.
Part two: Make a Public Profile
Open the Snapchat app and click on your profile icon.
According to the app version, you will be seen the latest option called “Add to Snap Map” under “Stories” or the “Spotlight & Snap Map” section. Click on the “3-dot” icon near this option and then select “Create Public Profile”
Now, Snapchat will introduce you to all the new features given by a Tier 1 Public Profile.
Tap on “Continue” at the bottom of your screen to continue to the next step. After that, click the “Get Started” button
It will display a disclaimer about creating a Public Profile for one last time. Tap on the “Create” to finish the process.
Editing your profile on Snapchat
If you want to edit any element of your public profile such as your bio, profile photo, and other public information, you can follow these steps;
Click on your Story icon at the top of the screen to go to “My Profile”
Click on your Public Profile card under “Profile Management”
Tap on the “Edit” button.
Conclusion
I hope this note could be helpful. Note that Users who are 18 and above can opt for creating Snapchat Public Profile and also, your profile will be always checked by the servers based on the rules. If you fail to find the “Create Public Profile” option in your app versions, then go with the VPN help and change your location to the USA.

YouTube is a social media platform for sharing and watching videos. This powerful American platform enjoys enormous popularity. However, like every other website, it can sometimes go down or crash. In this article, we explore some common errors you may encounter while using the app or website and offer ways to solve them.
Why use YouTube
As we said before YouTube is really popular. Almost 100 hours of video is uploaded to it per minute. Hence there is always something to watch. People can create their own channels and get monetized after some time. There is also a live stream option available. You can find videos of different topics on it. Some people even use this platform to improve their English. Some other people earn money by selling products or promoting companies that sponsor them. With a wide range of audiences, it’s a great place for branding getting your message to them.
Common errors and how to solve them
It may happen that videos don’t play, they play slowly or the problem may be something else entirely. Here are some common ways and fixes that may solve your problem.
Check if Youtube is down: it rarely happens that YouTube has a complete outage. However, it is a good idea to check it when you face a problem. To do this you can use the Downdetector website. This website shows you if there are reports of YouTube outages and from where they are in the world. In case you find out YouTube is down, you may want to search for its news on the internet. If you realize that YouTube is only crashing for you, try the other steps.
Check your internet connection: it might be the case that you can browse other websites yet your connection is not stable enough to watch videos on YouTube. Open the local troubleshoot page on your device and see if you can solve the errors.
Restart your device: some background apps and smartphone issues may interfere with YouTube’s performance. Restarting your phone solves many small problems and can help you get rid of what is slowing you down.
Update your device: if your operating system is not updated, YouTube may not be able to work properly. Ensure your Android or iOS device is not outdated in settings. Usually, you can know about this when you open the “About Phone” page on your mobile phone. Download and install the new version. Check if YouTube works well after this.
Disable the extensions:EarthWeb suggests that some extensions can be incompatible with YouTube, removing them will tackle the issue. To view all the extensions you have installed, search in Chrome. You can see a slider beside each one. Click on it and it turns gray. Disable the extensions one by one and after turning each one off, reload the page to find out if the problem is solved.
Clear your cache: every time you use the app it leaves out a small bit of data. In the long run, it accumulates and builds up a huge amount and causes trouble. The best way to clear the cache on iPhone is to uninstall and reinstall the application. Android users should go to their device settings and clear the cache from there.
Update your browser: click on the three dots you can see on the top right corner of chrome. Click “help” and then “About Google Chrome”. On the page that comes up, you can see if any updated version is available. The process repeats for Firefox as well. Open menu, click “about Firefox”, a window opens that looks for the updates. Install and enjoy!
Update YouTube application: Youtube is always launching newer versions. You must have the latest one on your device to make sure you benefit from the recent features and bug fixes. To do this open the Play Store app. In the menu, tap “My apps and games”. See if the label of YouTube says “update”. In that case, it’s time to download and install the newest version.
Check date and time: YouTube may not be able to work properly if the date and time of your device are not synced with its servers. The easiest way to solve this is to let your network handle it.
Reddit is made up of a huge amount of forums in which people can discuss news and vote for a person who has uploaded content. People can create a profile on Reddit for free to use the basic features, however, users with a premium subscription can access forums that are member-only.
How popular is Reddit
There are around 52 million users in Reddit who are active on the platform on a daily basis. Most of its users are located in the US. In fact, it’s the tenth most popular social platform in that part of the world. The majority of users spend around ten minutes on the website per visit.
Common problems with Reddit
You may find out that Reddit will not load on your device or it’s slow. Here is a list of common reasons and how to solve them.
It may be down for everyone: Whenever Reddit is down, it is a good idea to check if it is only you having problems or a lot of people. To do this you can use the Downdetector website. This website shows you if there are reports of Reddit outages and from where they come from in the world. In case you find out Reddit is down, you may want to search for its news on the internet. If you realize that the website is only crashing for you, try the other steps.
Disable your adblocker: just like some background apps, some adblockers can interrupt your connection to Reddit. Check all your adblockers and extensions on chrome. Turn them off one by one. After you turn each one off, refresh Reddit and see if the issues are tackled.
Clear the cache: when you work with a certain application or website, it leaves out a small amount of data in your device that can accumulate over time. To clear the cache in iPhone, search “Clear History and Website Data”, choose the applications or browser, and you are done. Just bear in mind that clearing the cache erases all your passwords as well so make sure you have them before you attempt to do this. To clear the cache on Android first open chrome. Tap the three dots on the top right corner, choose a time range and clear the cache.
Check your internet connection: it’s of no surprise that if you are not connected to the network or your connection is not stable enough, you can’t open Reddit. Open the local troubleshoot page on your device and see if you can solve the errors. There might be a problem with your router. Restarting it may solve the problem. Also, make sure you have paid the bill and the company that is providing you with the internet is not down.
Update Reddit: using an older version of an app doesn’t usually lead to problems. However, it is best if you try to update them regularly. To do this, go to Google Play and check if an update is available for Reddit. In case there is an update, download and install it.
Restart your device: as you probably already know turning your device off and on again, can solve many small problems. It can stop the applications that are running in the background and solve your problem with Reddit.
Refresh the page: this is probably the first thing we do when we see a website is going slow or there is a problem with it. The good news is that it actually solves our problems most of the time so don’t hesitate to do it.
Summary
Reddit is a popular American platform that is replete with different forums that mostly discuss the news. While there is usually no problem with the website, it can sometimes be slow or may not load. In this article, we discussed some easy and quick fixes that help you handle any issue you may have faced.
Google+ presents a social platform that you can use to build a significant web presence for you and your brand. When people search for you on Google, one of the first results will be your Google+ profile.
By including your business information in your Bio profile _ such as your website link or your products _ and making it public, a quick search for you on Google would provide potential customers for links and information about your brand.
How to put yourself on google search?
If you want people to find you when they are searching on the internet, you can create a landing page using iLink, and add all your information there. It would be great to add all the necessary information, and all names people may know you on those.
Sign up with the necessary information (you can upload a profile picture, at this stage too, or skip it).
On the dashboard, go to info section on the left menu
Write a short bio that best describes you
Add any necessary link you want in the Links section on the left menu
Add any music or video clip that you want your audience to see about you in the same section
Add all your social media in the Info. The section on the left menu
You can add any necessary information like phone, website, email address, or address for your audiences.
Check the preview of your landing page on the right side of the dashboard. You can check it for all three types of devices, desktop, notepad, or mobile.
Now, everyone searches on the internet; they can see your landing page (like a website). It is free, and you can set it up fast. The excellent point is that you can customize it as you prefer, according to your brand, for example.
If you are a writer, photographer, or any job you have, you can add your portfolio there too. The best point about the iLink profile is that you can share it on your social channels.
You can also sell any products there or add any links to download your eBooks or PDFs.
How to write a Google profile Bio?
Log in to your G+ account, and the main Google timeline shows up.
Click on the “profile” icon on the left side of the screen.
Click the “About link” and after that “Edit profile” button.
Click on the “introduction” header to edit your Bio. You can write about yourself or your brand in plain text.
This information will appear in Google searches when customers search for you.
You should write a Bio that advertises you and your brand. There are no length limitations, so you can include as much information as you like. However, only a small part initially appears in a Google search, so you should put important information on the top.
you can use font effects such as bold and italic and lists, but don’t over-use them, because they can make your profile look too crowded.
You can add a link to your website or email, by:
Highlight the texts
Click on the link button on the editing menu
Write the URL of your email or site in the link window
Tap enter and done!
Choose an access type such as “Public,” ”Extended circles,” “your circles” or “only you.” “Public” allows everyone to see your profile. “Extended circles” allows people in your circles and their circles to view your profile. “Your circles” allows only people in your circle to see your profile. “Only you” will lock your profile as private.
your G+ introduction should include: -what you are passionate about
-what type of content you will share
-a brief story of yourself
-social media and contact information
-why people would like to circle you.
After editing your profile Bio, you should click on the “save” button, and you are all done!
After that, you can search your name on Google to see if your G+ account shows up or not. But remember you should be public for that.
As I mentioned before, the story section is one of the most critical parts of your G+ profile, fill it today and let yourself be verbose, not pompous.
Writing a description for your Tumblr blog is a task that
can be done in many different methods, depending on your blog and how much data

re-blog from you may be interested in

have some information of yourself right there on your Tumbler blog, rather than
sending them elsewhere. It all depends on you; you can write a brief biography
in your blog’s description or a longer one on a different page or both.
What

your description and format it the way you want. Once you are done, click the “HTML” button to show the

Tips
on writing a perfect Tumblr description
Choose what to include
While writing a description
for Tumblr, your purpose should be to highlight what makes you and your blog
different and valuable to your audience. There is no one-size-fits-all list of data you should always include in a blog
description; your target audience varies depending on the type of blog you are publishing, and so does the
kind of data they will find interesting, valuable and relevant. If you are writing
a professional blog on a particular subject, for example, including your
credentials would improve your credibility. If you are running a personal blog,
on the other hand, you could write about your interests and the sort of content
you post, to help first-time readers decide whether to follow you or not.
Short or long _ A matter of location
There are two section on your Tumblr blog where your
description will be visible to your audience: the aptly named description
section and a custom page.
If you are using a computer, the description section can
appear in many different locations on your blog’s home page, depending on the
theme you use; some themes show it as a
sidebar, others display it at the top, and some present it at the bottom of
your page.
Remember when your Tumblr blog is seen on a mobile device, the blog automatically shifts to using
a mobile layout that puts the description right at the top, this means your
visitors should scroll past it to get to your content. That’s why you should
keep it short to avoid overwhelming mobile visitors by forcing them to scroll
for too long to get to the main part of
your content.
How
to access the theme options?
Click the “person” icon on the Tumblr barClick “Edit appearance.”
Click “edit theme.”
Write in the description section
Click the “save” button and done!
How to create a custom page on Tumblr?

scroll down a little to find them.
Click ”add a page.”
Enable the show a link to this page toggle to automatically add a link to the page on your blog.
Type the address you want to use for the page in the URL field. Your blog’s address is automatically filled in, so all you have to do is to fill in the part after slash. For instance, for a page that contains information about you, you could enter “about me” after the slash, while for an FAQ page you can just write “faq.”
Type a title for the page in the “page title” section. This is the title that shows up at the top of
the page itself.
Type your description in the large text section. This field is a
full-fledged text editor, with formatting buttons you can use to change text

Examples:
Use: https://wa.me/1XXXXXXXXXX
Don’t use: https://wa.me/+001-(XXX)XXXXXXX

First, let me explain who a vlogger is and what he/she does. A vlogger is a person who produces online video blogs and posts them online. A video blog is a short film in which you express your thoughts and ideas or show your lifestyle, interests, or skills.
Vlogging on YouTube is an ever-growing trend allowing
businesses, influencers, or even ordinary users to gain in popularity and make
money. Vlogs are effective tools in attracting the target audience more
effectively because of being more relatable and more real.
Start setting up your YouTube channel and growing your
vlogging brand. The following tips will help you get insights into how to
achieve more success.
Be creative
Bunny Meyer is an American beauty vlogger who has gained 8 million and a half subscribers on her YouTube channel so far. What’s interesting about her is the use of funny gestures, weird body languages, and having unusual appearances in her vlogs. She advertises for different products of the beauty industry such as trimming devices, body foundations, face washes, etc. mostly entitles “Does this thing really work?”

In my opinion, what has made her
successful in her vlogging journey is the courage to be different. You can also
be unique if you stop giving in to your fears and step out. Find ways to stand
out by creating something fun or inspiring.
2. Be authentic
Don’t go to extremes to be influential. It just drives people
away. Being the real you will ensure more sustainable growth in your vlogging
career. Show emotions in your videos and behave in an open, natural, and
uninhibited manner. Believe me! People will eventually fall in love with your
true personality. You might impress people by being pretentious for a while,
but the impression will fade away sooner or later.
See your viewers
and subscribers as typical individuals who are seeking joy, happiness, and sometimes
someone to empathize with their situation! Educational contents can also appeal
to many users as they provide value or solutions to problems. The thing is you
have to showcase whatever you want in its simplest form and passionately like a
human, not a robot.
3. Edit your vlog
There are various tools which provide you video editing
features such as trimming, cropping, merging, changing the motion speed, adding
metadata and effects, etc. Some of these programs include Windows Movie Maker, Filmora Video Editor, or iMovie (for
iPhone). Polish your videos by taking advantage of these to make sure not to
fall behind several other vloggers who make high-quality ones.
4. Be patient
Keep in mind that getting more views and subscribers takes
time. It surely doesn’t happen overnight. While you should not feel worried or
be obsessive about what type of content you should upload (when you are a
newbie), the patience on getting popularity will pay off. Instead of focusing
on the numbers or making money, try to gradually improve the quality of your
videos, make them more engaging, and be persistent in your activity.
Pay more attention to the comments people leave below your videos and implement their recommendations if reasonable. What’s more, be in contact with people on your level and ask them for advice. This way, you may speed up your success.

big and persistence is the key to
accomplishing your biggest or most complicated goals!
There are several ways whereby you can increase engagement on
your vlogs. To become successful, you need to get more feedback from viewers or
have more comments and shares. Some ideas are listed below:
Ask viewers to answer a
particular question or share their experience in the comment section
Respond to comments
Show gratitude when people
share your content
Don’t stop posting
frequently
Use annotations and CTAs
Go live
6. Join social media
You can leverage social media platforms other than YouTube to drive more traffic and boost your presence. First, find the best-suited social networks and then put the link to your YouTube channel on your bio. See if Twitter, Pinterest, Facebook, Instagram, or other tools can be to your benefit.
Get the most out of your Instagram link in bio
On Instagram, if you want to add multiple links
to the bio, use iLink to convert them all into one. When visitors click
on the produced iLink URL, they are directed to a page with all the information
and links showing your contact details, photos, YouTube channel, and other
social media accounts.
7. Use YouTube analytics
Monitor your channel performance
by analyzing your efforts via YouTube Analytics. You can get reports on
earning, watch-time, and interaction, which will help you get more insights
into the weak and strong points. You are also able to understand when is the
best time to post your video or what type of content sparks your audience’s
interest more.
To sum up
If you go through the biography of the most popular YouTubers, you’ll make sure that hard work and determination were priceless assets in their journey to fame and success as vloggers. Take wise steps from the beginning by trying to create appealing contents and engaging your audience. Take advantage of YouTube automation tools to look more professional and track key metrics of your video performance to better judge your success.
“Social media marketing refers to the method of increasing traffic or brand awareness through social media platforms.”
Social media is a phrase used for sites that may produce different social activities. For example, Twitter is a social platform created to let people share brief messages or “updates” with others. Facebook, on the other hand, is a full social networking platform that provides for sharing photos, updates, joining events and a lot of other activities.
Social media is growing even faster than the internet itself! https://thelyrically.com/ It is reaching nearly one in six people on the earth!
What is social media marketing used?
The primary purpose of social media marketing is to increase interaction with users, improve brand awareness and reach more new customers.social media marketing is being done by producing quality content that the social network users share with their friends.
The point of social media marketing is to receive direct feedback from users (or potential consumers) so that the brand gets an individual stamp at the same time and appears more like a human being.by using interactive opportunities on social networks, the clients get the chance to be heard, either by inquiries or making complaints.
This type of SMM is called Social Customer Relation Management (Social CRM), which can drive to improving trustworthiness and return on investment (ROI), of course, if the users are satisfied with the content, relationship with the business and the service presented.
How to use social media marketing?
Social Media Marketing (SMM) works on the system of Social Media Optimization (SMO), the promotion of business image on social networks.Like Search Engine Optimization (SEO), Social media optimization brings new, individual visitors to your targeted website.
Social media marketing that is SMO can be done in two ways:
Active social media marketing promotion
Passive social media marketing promotion

This strategy relies on word-of-mouth and offers several advantages:
It increases the content extension to networks and users that a social media manager may not have been able to reach otherwise.
Shared content provides a specific advertisement when sent by someone who they know and trust.

WhatsApp Messenger is an online freeware texting platform
which attracts a large number of people around the world, especially in Brazil,
India, United Kingdom, and France.
It may surprise you to hear who the owner of WhatsApp is?
Mark Zuckerberg who almost everyone knows him released WhatsApp in January 2009 which created the client application, and it could reach to the high level to be the most popular massaging application in 2018 with over 1.5 billion users.
Being big enough doesn’t make a platform flawless, and WhatsApp is not exception too. There are some weaknesses and threats that it’s better for users to know.
Malware threats
Every application that has a vast number of users are always
in a danger of hacking, especially when there be a web version of it. Because
it makes it easy to compromise your computer.
There some application that is mostly the same as WhatsApp web version which people get confused, but you should be aware of the threats which can get all your data and accounts. The other way to get your information is to design some similar website same as the web version of WhatsApp and people are not aware of that. They ask you to enter your phone number to abuse the information. So the safe way to use this application is the official web version.
Unencrypted backups
WhatsApp texting system is end-to-end encryption, which means the only device that can decode your messages is yours.no one can understand your content during the transmission, not even the company’s headquarter. This is a great option that you can back up your all messages in Google Drive for Android system and iCloud for iPhone users.
Now imagine you have deleted some Important parts of your messages, and you need them, what should you do? This WhatsApp backup option will give you the opportunity to restore your deleted data such as massages, videos, or pictures. Everything was fine so far, So why do we mention this option as a threat. What’s wrong?
A problem is a place you store your data because none of
Google drive or iCloud are encrypted, which is against the backup system
itself, the backup location is not safe because there are no encryption
possibilities.
Facebook’s Data sharing plan
The deal between WhatsApp and Facebook break the agreement.
After Facebook decision to get WhatsApp, Facebook had a contract with the EU to separate their companies and all the statements. But after a while, things have changed, and Facebook forgets their agreements. In the new version of WhatsApp’s privacy policy in 2016, the data shared between both platforms. But the reaction was not the thing they want; Facebook decided to create a combined network structure for all its texting platforms (Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp). In this new system, all your messages will share and store over the same network.
What do you think about this option? Is it good or bad?
Fake News
Recently WhatsApp put some limits into forwarding messages.
You can only forward messages to 5 people or group which was 20 in the past.
Turning 20 to 5 is not something that happens by chance or personal favor. So,
why they choose to limit the number of forwards?
You cannot always guess what will happen if you run one
theory; it doesn’t matter how big you are.
Here is the theory that Facebook used. Facebook allowed
users to post fake news and information on their platform to increase traffic
on their platform, which destroyed everything. Facebook was convicted because
of spreading fake news through the presidential campaign in 2016.
WhatsApp was also one of these social media platforms that
cause misinformation in Brazil and India. That was easy to spread the fake news
with just your phone number; people abuse this situation and created campaigns
against a candidate in Brazil 2018. The same thing happened in India, but that
was about child kidnapping through 2016, 2017, and 2018.
Because of that 2018 was a terrible year for Facebook, Cause
misinformation annoys the most especially when it is in digital space, which is
tough to handle and control.
Facebook should have rapidly solved the problem, because of
that, they add two options that I mentioned one of them, the other one allows
users to choose who can add them to a group.
These two options could make them get back to their safe
place.
WhatsApp Status
Creating one powerful platform that provides users need is
one big step to be successful, But you cannot count on that for a long time,
your users are growing, and of course, their need will grow too. Besides, there
are a lot of competitors that are trying to attract your audience by giving
them more options.
WhatsApp was no exception. First, it just gave users the
right place to start texting with each other, but as time goes on, thing have
changed, and people wanted more. So WhatsApp added new features which allow
users to share their photos, texts, and videos with others.
You may say this option is the thing that Instagram and
Snapchat gave too. But WhatsApp is the right place for those who care about
private life. Cause WhatsApp gives you more option to choose your contact.
Go to setting
Click the Account option
Tap Privacy policy
There are three options under Who Can See My Personal
Info
My contacts
My contacts Except…
Only share with…
The wind-up of the topic, Should we use WhatsApp?
To be honest, there are no whys in this field; there are a
lot of people that have their own reasons to use and select one platform. They
may think about the design or content or features that it gives to them, each
one of these options can be a main factor to choose their favorite platform. Above
this question, all the platforms have their own weak points and power points.
It’s better to consider all your targets and needs then choose your suitable
platform.
New social media platforms and apps are launched frequently, but not all get the same coverage. We have been receiving comments about the hot new app TikTok. So, in this article, I am going to share my knowledge of what TikTok is, how it’s used, and if Social Media Marketers will be struggling to use it for their customers or brands.
What is TikTok?
TikTok is the newest video-sharing app growing popularity in the United States. It’s indeed not all that new of an app; it’s only been re-branded. TikTok used to be musically before but was taken by ByteDance, who previously had an app called TikTok. So, they joined musically and TikTok into one platform and held the name TikTok.
TikTok is the once trendy Twitter-owned app, Vine, which allows people to post funny short videos. Yet, TikTok is a bit more sturdy in that it will enable you to watch music videos, lip-sync to tunes, and edit your videos with filters, effects, and stickers. There’s also a feature called “duet” in which you can create a new video next to an existing video.
The New York Times explained TikTok as “a quirky hybrid
of Snapchat, the defunct video app Vine, and the TV segment, Carpool Karaoke.”
How Popular is it?
TikTok currently has more than 700 million users worldwide. It has skyrocketed to the top of the charts in Apple’s App Store, YouTube, hitting Instagram, and Snapchat as the top free app. Celebrities like Khloe Kardashian, Jimmy Fallon, and Nick Jonas have promoted the app, too, which has clearly increased its popularity.
Google is going to shut
down the consumer version of G+ over the following months. The decision follows the discovery of an
earlier undisclosed security flaw that exposed users’ profile data that was attended in March 2018.
A software bug was discovered that provided access to private
profile data of more than 500k users for developers. Still, Google said that
there’s no evidence of developers being aware of this bug. There’s also no evidence
that any data has been abused. The bug was discovered in March 2018. A report in the
Wall Street Journal states Google did not reveal this data sooner because it
feared regulatory inspection.
Google + failed to
live up to expectations
Google admits that G+ has been unable to reach broad user or developer adoption since its introduction. The company revealed that the engagement and usage of G+ are even lower than some might have guessed, as 90% of user sessions remained less than 5 seconds. With that said, it’s not possible that Google+ will be missed, although it’s surely worth noting that it’s shutting down. At one time Google put vital effort into promoting the adoption of G+, including using its information to personalize search results based on what a person’s contacts have +1’d. G+ may have been shut down eventually, but it’s the security breach that pushed Google’s hand.
More on the security
breach
Through a security audit,
Google determined the following:
A bug in one of the G+ user APIs implied that applications additionally accosted Profile to handle that was shared with the user, however not set as public.
Data is compelled to static, changeable G+ profile fields including name, gender, age, email address, and occupation.
The data breach does eliminate some other data a user may have associated or presented on G+ or some other service.
The bug was found and immediately patched in March 2018.
Pinterest is my BFF! It has been my BFF for a long time, and I have found out that it has huge potential for business if you know how to
use it. According to the recent researches, Pinterest is driving more online
traffic referrals than Reddit, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn and Google and the average pin results in .78
sales. That’s something, isn’t it? Ok,
now that I have tweaked your interest, do you want to know how to use Pinterest
for your business? You have come to the right place, in this article I am going
to share 10 Pinterest tips and tricks for you, business users.
Pinterest has taken the same concept as the other social
platforms and created a social networking site that lets you create picture
collections online – like an online scrapbook. It is fundamentally a photo
sharing platform where the users are allowed to create albums on a theme or
pattern.
Pinterest is an excellent opportunity for businesses because
it can be a gateway for their services, products, and even their content. It is
a good way to lead with content and allow
the social interaction to take a secondary role. Brands will be able to see
what their audience care about instead of who they care about. The market research on its own is priceless from a branding
perspective! Are you there yet? If not, this is how you can get started:
Create quality content related to your niche
You should create content-rich boards and share your content
just as you would on any other social media platform. Pin your content and
product to themed boards on Pinterest followed by shortened links that let you
track your Pinterest traffic. Make sure that you are representing your service,
product, and content in a visually
appealing way, because it will draw people’s attention. They won’t read the
subtext in other words. Stand out, try to
be creative and most important; be unique.
I recommend a minimum of 10 boards with at least five pins in each, because that’s where people
check when they come to your site. Whatever you do, just do not leave your boards empty. You should give your visitors a
good first impression. They should know that you are engaging, active and have great content.
Make yourself a brand
Remember to feature your business name on your Pinterest profile. If you are trying to brand your business name, you should have your business name as your Pinterest username. In the “about” section, write a short description about who you are, what you do and what are you passionate about. This section is similar to the bio area on Twitter and should be as brief as possible but provide a proper description of your work and how you solve a pain point for your target audience.
Connect your Pinterest account with your Twitter and Facebook accounts. And of course, remember to include a link to your website as it’s displayed as a clickable link under your bio! You can use URL Shorteners like iLink if you can’t decide which link to put on your Pinterest bio.
Interact with other users
If you come across a pin that you like but are not
necessarily beneficial to your audience or be something that you would pin to
one of your boards, you should consider liking them rather than repining them.
Anytime you like someone’s pin; they will get notified. So, it may grab their
attention and get them to follow you on Pinterest.
Include keywords to show up on search results
Hashtags are no longer useful on Pinterest as the platform
looks for keywords in pin descriptions. While writing your pin description,
make sure you use the relevant keywords., keywords most users would use to find
your content. This makes it easier for
you to be exposed and will gain more
followers for you as well. And as you may know, more followers = more exposure.
Mention other Pinterest users
You can mention people in your Pinterest comments or pin descriptions to catch their attention or to recognize someone special. A ‘mention’ on Pinterest is much like Facebook and Twitter. Just type the @ symbol before the person’s name. A drop-down box will appear, and you can select from the users appearing in the search result. But remember you can only mention people who are following you on at least one board.
That’s all guys; you
can use these tips to grow your business on Pinterest. Also if you have any
other questions about social media marketing, you can ask us in the comments
below.
