<p>The new year is coming and if you are in the <a href="https://freelancetnt.com/digital-marketing/" target="_blank">digital marketing</a> industry, it’s time to ask yourself: “What is going to be the biggest digital marketing trend for 2017?"</p>
<p>2017 is going to be a year when GIF will celebrate its 30th anniversary. And according to predictions of some digital marketing experts, it’s also going to be a year when GIF will reach its highest potential in digital marketing industry.</p>
<h2>What is GIF and what does it stand for?</h2>
<p>GIF is an acronym for Graphics Interchange Format and it was introduced back in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GIF" target="_blank">1987 by Steve Wilhite</a> of CompuServe as a new way to present a moving image. It’s an image file, like a JPG or PNG, it doesn’t contain sound, but it can contain animation.</p>
<p>Usually created from parts of videos or multiple static images, animated GIFs have viral appeal, and thanks to <a href="https://www.tumblr.com/blog/aleksejxy" target="_blank">Tumblr</a>, have reached heightened popularity, especially in the United States in recent years. Back in 2012 word “GIF" was named the <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/books/booksblog/2012/nov/14/gif-america-word-year-omnishambles" target="_blank">Oxford Dictionary Word of the Year</a>. They have become a part of internet culture as a commonplace in our digital lives, from news to sports highlights to daily philosophical and comic relief.</p>

<h2>Facts And Stats About GIFs</h2>
<p>Compared with photos, GIFs are more appealing and more effective in <a href="https://freelancetnt.com/social-media/" target="_blank">Social Media</a> strategy and compared with videos, it takes less time to create them and they are cheaper and easier to make.</p>
<blockquote><p>Currently, GIF type of the format is shared more than JPEG or PNG format, according to the stats from <a href="https://w3techs.com/technologies/details/im-gif/all/all" target="_blank">W3tech</a>.</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="https://freelancetnt.com/stats-of-the-most-shared-content/" target="_blank"></a></p><div><a href="https://freelancetnt.com/stats-of-the-most-shared-content/" target="_blank"><img src="https://cdn-images.postach.io/20ef77ff-38a1-4c93-b4e3-25849315983a/64e021be-6e90-4327-9839-71303dfc5be9/e2ce8e59-b53d-4324-b8d6-6aa70d554ff3.jpg" alt="Digital Marketing Trend For 2017" title="Digital Marketing Trend For 2017" width="576" height="576"/></a></div><p></p>
<p>The entertainment value of GIFs is pretty obvious, but for the past years, brands have recognized its business value as well. Don’t be surprised if you start seeing more and more brands using GIFs as an essential part of their Social Media strategy because according to <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/us-internet-consumers-cisco-systems-idUSKBN0EL15E20140610" target="_blank">Reuters</a>, more than 84 percent of communication in 2018 will be visual. It’s perfectly natural to see that GIFs are going te be a crucial digital marketing trend for 2017. The fact that people only remember 20 percent of the text they read without visuals is sending everyone a straightforward message – <strong>a visual power is more important than ever</strong>. And according to <a href="https://blog.hubspot.com/marketing/visual-content-marketing-strategy#sm.001uf512o19uzd9vqpu1yzoofjk77" target="_blank">HubSpot</a>, when people hear information, they’re likely to remember only 10 percent of that information three days later. However, if a relevant image is paired with that same information, people retained 65 percent of the information three days later.</p>
<blockquote><p>For the past five years, <a href="https://www.google.rs/trends/explore?q=%2Fm%2F03bfb" target="_blank">Google Trends</a> shows that the interest for GIFs has increased dynamically and it’s still rising.</p></blockquote>

<p>According to Giphy’s CEO, <a href="http://www.omdukblog.com/innovation-hunters/why-brands-should-give-the-gift-of-gifing/" target="_blank">Alex Chung</a>, a picture may be worth a thousand words, but as “<strong>the average GIF contains sixty frames, then they’re capable of conveying 60,000 words – the same as the average novel.</strong>"</p>
<p><a href="http://www.forbes.com/sites/alexkonrad/2016/10/26/giphy-passes-100-million-users-reveals-gv-as-investor/#412caa4b448e" target="_blank">Forbes</a> recently announced that Giphy passes 100 million daily users who send 1 billion GIFs each day. Facebook Messenger, Slack, Twitter, Tinder and many more popular services all connect to Giphy’s library, which has its own search engine for tagging and surfacing specific types of GIF. You can find and share GIFs almost everywhere, including Instagram, Pinterest, Google Plus, LinkedIn and many more popular Social Media sites.</p>
<p>According to Giphy, back in 2015 were around 150 million original GIFs, and <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/04/technology/gifs-go-beyond-emoji-to-express-thoughts-without-words.html?_r=1" target="_blank">New York Times</a> tried to collect the number of GIFs on the most popular social networks, numbering:</p>
<ul>
<li>23 million GIFs are posted to Tumblr every day</li>
<li>5 million GIFs are exchanged on Facebook Messenger daily</li>
<li>More than 2 million GIF interactions take place on Slack monthly</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Today GIF viewers via Giphy watch more than 2 million hours of GIFs per day, and GIFs are seen by more than 100 million daily active users.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Still not convinced that GIFs are going to be the top Digital Marketing trend for 2017?</strong></p>
<p><a href="https://freelancetnt.com/gif-simspons/" target="_blank"></a></p><div><a href="https://freelancetnt.com/gif-simspons/" target="_blank"><img src="https://cdn-images.postach.io/11ddcaa23e7e921e36cc52489de03934.gif" alt="Digital Marketing Trend For 2017" title="Digital Marketing Trend For 2017" width="471" height="480"/></a></div><p></p>
<p>According to <a href="https://blog.hubspot.com/marketing/visual-content-marketing-strategy#sm.001uf512o19uzd9vqpu1yzoofjk77" target="_blank">HubSpot</a>, visual content is more than 40X more likely to get shared on Social Media than other types of content, so it’s obvious why many famous brands use GIFs to interact with their followers. For example, <a href="https://twitter.com/NASA/status/636992333729415168" target="_blank">NASA</a> uses GIFs of satellite imagery and <a href="http://coca-cola.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">Coca-Colla</a> and <a href="http://disney.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">Disney</a> have their own Tumblr blog which is full of their personal branded GIFs.</p>
<p>Giphy runs its own studio in Los Angeles for customers such as Converse, FOX, McDonald’s, Nike and Paramount.</p>
<p>Talking about Digital Marketing trend for 2017, GIFs are frequently used in e-mail campaigns because video in email is still not supported in every email client. Web-based email clients like Gmail or Yahoo will display GIFs, but desktop email clients like Outlook will not.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.marketingsherpa.com/article/case-study/gif-centric-email-campaign" target="_blank">Dell</a> saw impressive results from its first GIF-centered email campaign, as it measured:</p>
<ul>
<li>6 percent increase in open rate</li>
<li>42 percent increase in click rate</li>
<li>103 percent increase in conversion rate</li>
<li>109 percent increase in revenue</li>
</ul>
<p>Netflix has brought a whole new level of usage of GIFs by using them for an outdoor advertising campaign.</p>
<p></p><div><div></div></div><p></p>
<h2>Where to find and how to create GIFs?</h2>
<p>There are a lot of places available online where you can find or create GIFs.</p>
<p>I have made a curated list of the 17 most used websites and apps for finding and creating GIFs:</p>
<p>If you are familiar with Photoshop you can easily create GIFs by using this software, and Creative Techs has made a great article on how to do it. You can find their tutorial <a href="https://www.creativetechs.com/tipsblog/build-animated-gifs-in-photoshop/" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>

<p>Do you have concerns about how to use <a href="https://twitter.com/FreelanceTnT" target="_blank">Twitter</a> for personal branding? I this article I will talk about <strong>why Twitter is great for personal promotion, how do go “from zero to hero" – (from 1 follower to 10k+ followers) and how to use the power of 140 characters to make a personal brand on Twitter</strong>.</p>
<p>The greatest advantage of Twitter is that messages are short (140 characters limit) and comparing to other posts on different <a href="https://freelancetnt.com/social-media/" target="_blank">Social Media</a> channels they are more likely to retain user’s attention. There is a rule on Twitter that says: “<a href="https://twitter.com/Montanjug" target="_blank"><strong>If the message that you are sending can’t fit into 140 characters, it’s probably not that interesting or important</strong></a>."</p>
<p><a href="https://freelancetnt.com/how-to-use-twitter-for-personal-branding-5/" target="_blank"/></p><div><a href="https://freelancetnt.com/how-to-use-twitter-for-personal-branding-5/" target="_blank"><img src="https://cdn-images.postach.io/20ef77ff-38a1-4c93-b4e3-25849315983a/9fc56b62-80d2-4f72-af0d-af2b001cbe88/a018b988-eaae-4536-9677-b69d472d59a0.jpg" alt="How to use twitter for personal branding" width="576" height="432"/></a></div><p/>
<p>For the tweet of 140 characters, everyone can find time, either to read or write. All this has contributed to the retweet option, which allows anyone to share others users post. If you see a great tweet and you make yourself thinking “<strong>Why didn’t I think of that before?</strong>", you can always retweet it and it will appear on your profile page. All of the Social Media channels have sharing option, but utilization of this option is most common on Twitter.</p>
<p>There are a lot of people on Twitter that have more retweets than original tweets on their profile page. And that’s okay. By using the retweet option a huge number of Twitter users has become famous, they gain a lot of followers on their accounts, they have started a <a href="https://freelancetnt.com/" target="_blank">blog</a> or different type of business and made a lot of money from advertising and promotion.<strong> Using Twitter for personal branding is the one thing that you shouldn’t have any doubts to start doing it. Just do it!</strong></p>
<p>Twitter users are both individuals and companies. Even the <a href="https://twitter.com/Pontifex" target="_blank">Pope</a> has a twitter account. Almost every media company has a Twitter account and they use it to share their stories. <strong>There is no doubt that Twitter is a powerful weapon to<a href="https://freelancetnt.com/promote-blog-30-places/" target="_blank"> promote your business online</a></strong>. People are spending a lot of their free time on Social Meda channels, and they are using it as a source for a content they already have the interest to read about.</p>
<p><strong>Spice up every link you post on Twitter with a few related hashtags so the right people can see it</strong>. It doesn’t matter if you write about yourself, a lifestyle, or if you are promoting your company or a blog. <strong>What really matters is that your message can fit in one short sentence</strong>. The best promotion is followed by short, simple and clear content.</p>
<p><a href="https://freelancetnt.com/how-to-use-twitter-for-personal-branding-7/" target="_blank"/></p><div><a href="https://freelancetnt.com/how-to-use-twitter-for-personal-branding-7/" target="_blank"><img src="https://cdn-images.postach.io/20ef77ff-38a1-4c93-b4e3-25849315983a/9fc56b62-80d2-4f72-af0d-af2b001cbe88/dfc9ccf1-40c7-4e40-88a7-2349f5d6b4a9.jpg" alt="how to use twitter for personal branding" width="576" height="383"/></a></div><p/>
<p>It’s interesting fact that Twitter doesn’t require you to use your real name for your profile page. You can use a nickname, your alter ego or anything else that you can think about and its’ perfectly fine by their policy. After you choose a perfect name for your <a href="https://twitter.com/Montanjug" target="_blank">Twitter profile</a>, you will have to<strong> define your niche, be active, tweet and retweet a lot and follow the trends on Twitter</strong>. Being an active Twitter user can provenly help you to make something from nothing, and at the end, to make your personal brand.</p>
<p/><div><div/></div><p/>
<h2>Using Twitter for personal branding</h2>
<p>The path to success and personal promotion is accompanied with good tweets. If you have a lot to say, the success on Twitter it’s warranted, but the path from zero to 10k plus followers isn’t simple.</p>
<p>If you want to succeed on Twitter, you will have to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Write every day</li>
<li>Follow current topics</li>
<li>Know how to use hashtags</li>
<li>Be in progress</li>
<li>Retweet a lot</li>
<li>Follow people with the similar interests</li>
<li>Participate in Twitter discussions</li>
</ul>
<p>There are always some trends happening on Twitter that are people tweeting about.</p>
<p>The <strong>Twitter nation</strong>, how is it popularly called, follows all the important trends and tweets about them by using trend’s hashtags. By clicking on a certain hashtag, you can have an insight of every tweet that is published on that topic. <strong>Active tweeters that are bringing a certain dose of humor in their tweets are definitely most popular ones</strong>. A lot of people took advantage of tweeting about popular topics, such as famous world shows, political events, topics from media and other topicality, and they used it for their personal promotion and to gain more followers. <strong>Tweeting and starting discussions on popular topics can be a great thing to do if you want your profile to be more visible to the Twitter community</strong>.</p>
<h2>Be funny, be yourself!</h2>
<p>An abstinent and intelligent dose of humor is recommended in every tweet.</p>
<p>.<a href="https://freelancetnt.com/how-to-use-twitter-for-personal-branding-6/" target="_blank"/></p><div><a href="https://freelancetnt.com/how-to-use-twitter-for-personal-branding-6/" target="_blank"><img src="https://cdn-images.postach.io/20ef77ff-38a1-4c93-b4e3-25849315983a/9fc56b62-80d2-4f72-af0d-af2b001cbe88/73e87b1f-c98d-4945-b739-08fd51b4ebf3.jpg" alt="how to use twitter for personal branding" width="576" height="432"/></a></div><p/>
<p>People that are making jokes are not necessarily frivolous. You can definitely make a great point about some serious topic trough the sarcastic comment, which is proven by a lot of successful tweeters who have used this method as a great marketing trick to make a personal brand on Twitter.</p>
<p><strong>Twitter has found itself somewhere between <a href="https://freelancetnt.com/facebook-5-proven-ways-to-boost-engagement/" target="_blank">Facebook</a></strong> (which is more private Social Media channel) <strong>and a blog</strong> (which is more public and where you can not find a lot of interaction between people that are writing and people that are reading). <strong>Twitter is the golden middle where you can work and have fun, represent yourself as a serious person in a funny way, and let people ask you anything they want to know</strong>.</p>
<p>Dialogs and discussions are the most common thing on Twitter, there is no space for long and boring wrangles, everything is short and effective – a direct criticism that you can take and apply to your next post.</p>
<p><strong>It takes time and patience to make a Twitter account successful</strong>. You can’t just open an account and wait for something to happen. If you want to make an impact on this Social Media channel, you will have to have something to say, know how to say it and when to post it. There are a million of accounts opened that are hoping that something is going to happen overnight, and they are still standing there as lean as the desert.</p>
<p><strong>The most important thing is YOU! </strong>Great idea combined with the commitment and the volition will lead you to success and personal promotion, and using Twitter for personal branding is one of the tools that can surely help you with it.</p>

During the past years, a lot of famous people started using Twitter to appeal to their community. <strong>TV Stars, famous singers and bands, politicians, scientists and businessmen, all of them have one thing in common: They are active on Twitter</strong>. This fact is telling us that Twitter is not only great to make a personal brand if you are not famous, it’s also great for people that are already famous to promote their self and to communicate with their audience. <strong>It’s not unusual that one tweet can be a basic for a great news article or an investigative story, and because of it’s simplicity it can be a great source to analyze the public opinion about a certain topic</strong>.</p>

<p>Every day people are sharing more than 200 million tweets and more than 1 billion <a href="https://www.facebook.com/FreelanceTnT" target="_blank">Facebook</a> posts.<a href="https://freelancetnt.com/digital-marketing/" target="_blank"> Digital marketing</a> is very dynamic and with new trends surfacing practically every day, it can be a challenge to keep up with the new trends. If you are working as a <a href="https://freelancetnt.com/social-media/" target="_blank">Social Media</a> marketing manager, you know that finding shortcuts can really save a day.</p>
<p>Forget about a creative mess and doing things in the last hour, if you are specialized in Social Media marketing, you’ll have to remember one thing: <strong>Being organized is everything</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>I’m bringing you seven</strong><strong> tricks that can save your time and make your work easier.</strong></p>
<h2>Social Media Calendar</h2>
<p>If you are working with multiple clients, things can get a little bit harsh. Good Social Media strategy relies on analyzing and anticipating your client’s needs and knowing your audience. If you don’t know enough about your clients and your targeted audience, your results on Social Media platforms are not going to be representative.</p>
<p>You need something that is going to help you to have insights in every Social Media strategy that is currently active. Social Media calendar is a great way to have an overview in all of your Social Media channels and resources and it makes easier to organize them. It can save you hours of work.</p>
<p>If you don’t have time to make your own, there are some excellent Social Media calendars templates to download on the web:</p>
<p><a href="https://freelancetnt.com/social-media-management-2/" target="_blank"/></p><div><a href="https://freelancetnt.com/social-media-management-2/" target="_blank"><img src="https://cdn-images.postach.io/20ef77ff-38a1-4c93-b4e3-25849315983a/005df037-c635-42b4-92d4-4fb8661b8b9c/98812e68-cfe7-4b31-8866-378a3170afe9.jpg" alt="Social Media Management" width="576" height="432"/></a></div><p/>
<h2>Brainstorming Software Apps</h2>
<p>Brainstorming is a creative method to get great and innovative ideas for you Social Media strategy. It’s energizing and gets you motivated. There are some great brainstorming software apps that you can use to brainstorm quickly and efficiently:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://evernote.com/" target="_blank">Evernote</a> – free,</li>
<li><a href="https://slickplan.com/" target="_blank">SlickPlan</a> – $6,99 per month,</li>
<li><a href="https://www.gliffy.com/" target="_blank">Gliffy</a> – $3,99 per month.</li>
</ul>
<p>I surely recommend Evernote. With the slogan: “<strong>Remeber everything</strong>" is pretty obvious why do they have one hundred million users all around the world. This magnificent app can scan and organize drawings, pencil notes and with their Optical Character Recognition they can even search for bad handwriting.</p>
<p>Get rid of the papers and forget about losing your business ideas.</p>
<h2>Copywriting</h2>
<p>Copywriting is a topic for a full and very detailed blog post. Right now, we’are going to speak about how to get inspiration to do a great copywriting. There are a lot of Social Media managers that are good at managing and organizing posts, but they struggle with creative writing.</p>
<p>The main secret is really simple: <strong>READ a lot AND WRITE even more</strong>. Good writing requires the art of you, beauty in your expression, and a variety of styles in your writing.</p>
<p>Try to recognize bad from good and extraordinary copywriting. Write good examples in your One Note and analyze them.</p>
<p>Don’t insist only on one approach. Try to write one copy in a couple of different styles. That is going to be good practice for your writing skills.</p>
<p>Don’t forget that your copy represents your client’s business, and it needs to anticipate his audience preferences.</p>
<h2>Adobe Spark/Storytelling</h2>
<p>I have included Adobe Spark in the list because this is one of the best resources for storytelling video templates. If you want to tell your story and you want to tell it right, then Adobe Spark is a must. It’s really easy to use and you can make videos like this in 2 minutes.</p>
<p/><div><div/></div><p/>
<p>Brands create stories and stories create brands. The truth is, storytelling has never been bigger.</p>
<h2>Competition Monitoring</h2>
<p>Competition is a good friend that gives you the best information to do your job right. Before you start doing Social Media campaign for any client, try to do the research and analyze your competition in that niche first, and do that every month. That is going to give you valuable and useful information about how to make Social Media campaign that is going to be different and distinct from your competitors.</p>

<p>Have you been looking for the <strong>best-proven places where you can promote your blog posts</strong>? Do you have concerns which places are good to promote your blog posts and which one are not? Are you tired of promoting your blog content in places that are not giving you desired results?</p>
<p>Relax, we’ve all been there. Every problem has a solution, and every solution brings another problem. But, I’m not here to talk about problems. In this article, I will talk about <strong>solutions for your blog promotion problems</strong>. There are more than 3.5 billion of internet users today, so don’t worry, your content can be and will be found if you<strong> share it on the right places, at the right time, to the right people</strong>. Simple as that. </p>
<p><a href="https://freelancetnt.com/social-media/" target="_blank">Social Media</a> channels are one of the best ways to promote your blog content, but you shouldn’t stop there. Besides Social Media, there are more available places on the web which can be a great marketing tool for your blog promotion.</p>
<p><strong>I’m bringing you 30 proven places where you can promote your blog content and get great results.</strong></p>
<h2><a href="https://www.facebook.com/FreelanceTnT/" target="_blank">Facebook</a> Groups</h2>
<p>Do the research first. <strong>Try to find the groups that are most relevant to your blog topic</strong>. Forget about groups that have words such as “blog", “bloggers", “blogging" and similar in their name. One thing I noticed in this type of Facebook groups is that more than 90% of members of those groups are there to promote their content, not to read yours. Don’t waste your time by sharing your content there.</p>
<p>Before you start promoting your blog content in Facebook Groups, try to engage with the group members first. See how do they interact with each other and try to participate in group discussions. After you gain some credibility in a group by answering the questions, start sharing your content.</p>
<h2><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/aleksej-durdevic" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a> Groups</h2>
<p>LinkedIn groups can be a great place to share your posts if your blog content is business related. Find relevant groups, ask to join them, and once you’re approved do not hesitate to share your content there. You are not going to get a massive traffic from this social media channel, but, <strong>you will be surprised by the quality of your blog visits from LinkedIn</strong>.</p>
<h2><a href="https://www.xing.com/profile/Aleksej_Durdevic" target="_blank">Xing</a> Groups</h2>
<p>Xing is a Social Media for business professionals in Germany. It has many similarities with LinkedIn. So, <strong>if your blog content is business related</strong>, Xing is a must! Join the groups that are relevant to your business and share your content there. Every group on Xing has its forums that are like subcategories of one business category. Don’t forget to select the relevant forum each time you share your content in Xing groups.</p>
<h2><a href="https://plus.google.com/u/0/115021648830708206027" target="_blank">Google Plus</a> Groups</h2>
<p>Sharing your content in the Google Plus groups can be a trigger for your website traffic, but, it can also be a waste of your time. Take your time to do a research in Google Plus community. Once you find groups that are relevant to your blog content you will have to find out which one of them have an active community. You will notice that most of the groups there are counting a huge number of members, but most of them are inactive. So, <strong>be patient, take your time to do a research, find active groups, participate in the group discussions and share your content</strong>.</p>
<h2><a href="https://twitter.com/FreelanceTnT" target="_blank">Twitter</a></h2>
<p><strong>Did you know that the lifetime of a shared tweet is approximately 17 minutes?</strong> What is this fact telling you? Share your content on Twitter multiple times, in different ways and using the different hashtags. Use pictures and gifs combined with your post link to reach more people. In a case you’re mentioning someone in your blog post, find them on Twitter and mention them in a tweet as well. It can make a huge difference.</p>
<h2><a href="https://www.pinterest.com/aleksejxy/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> boards and group boards</h2>
<p>Pinterest is the greatest place to share your blog content using infographics. Create an infographic for each of your blog posts and pin it to the multiple boards related to your blog topic. Try to <strong>collaborate with other Pinterest users with the same interests</strong> and pin your content on group boards.</p>
<h2>Multiple subreddits on <a href="https://www.reddit.com/" target="_blank">Reddit</a></h2>
<p>Subreddits on Reddit are similar to Facebook Groups. Every subreddit has its own rules, and in some of them, you are not allowed to submit link posts. Before you start promoting your content on Reddit, try to find subreddits that are related to your blog topic and subscribe to them. Read the community rules, try to engage with the members first, vote for the existing posts and comment on them, and after that, you are ready to share your content. If they find your content as high-valuable one, they will upvote it and you will get more traffic from the front page of the internet. <strong>Don’t over promote your content on Reddit. Find and subscribe only to subreddits that are perfectly relevant to your blog content</strong>. Once you submit a post on Reddit, it will stay there for a long time.</p>
<h2><a href="http://imgur.com/user/aleksejxy" target="_blank">Imgur</a></h2>
<p>Promote your content on the website of the most awesome images on the internet. If your blog content has a great and original visual part (images or gifs), do not hesitate to <strong>share your blog images or gifs on Imgur and add your post link at the end of your shared post</strong>. You can also share your Imgur posts to the subreddits on Reddit that are related to Imgur. Give it a try!</p>
<h2><a href="https://www.instagram.com/aleksejxy/" target="_blank">Instagram</a></h2>
<p>Although Instagram doesn’t allow you to submit link posts, it can still be a great place to share your content using images. <strong>Create your own image for each of your blog post and share it on Instagram</strong>. Each time you share your images on Instagram try to find the perfect hashtags that are related to your blog post. You can use up to 30 hashtags for each of your posts. You’re not going to receive a massive traffic from this Social Media channel, but it will make a huge impact on your brand awareness.</p>
<h2><a href="https://vk.com/aleksejxy" target="_blank">VK</a> Groups</h2>
<p>Vkontakte is actually Facebook in Russia. Try to find the groups that are related to your blog content and share your posts there. You are not going to be able to share your content in each group you find on this Social Media channel, but, around <strong>50% of VK groups will let you share your posts there</strong>.</p>
<h2><a href="https://www.tumblr.com/blog/aleksejxy" target="_blank">Tumblr</a></h2>
<p>On Tumblr, you can post anything from anywhere. <strong>Share your post, give it a title and add relevant tags</strong>. Try to find other Tumblr users with the similar interests and collaborate with them.</p>
<h2><a href="http://www.stumbleupon.com/stumbler/aleksejxy" target="_blank">StumbleUpon</a></h2>
<p>Submit your blog post on StumbleUpon using the Add Page button. Add your post link, check the “safe for work box", tell what the page is about (add one interest) and add relevant tags. After you submit your post to StumbleUpon <strong>you will get a traffic in waves</strong>. Watch the magic happens.</p>
<h2>Multiple hives on <a href="https://www.bebee.com/bee/aleksej-durdevic" target="_blank">BeBee</a></h2>
<p>BeBee is social media network for professionals. If your blog topic is business related, this network can be a great place to share your content. <strong>Everything on this Social Media channel is bee related</strong>.

<p>Working as a freelance logo designer can be a great thing with a lot of advantages. You have a possibility to choose only the projects that perfectly fit your graphic design style, and currently, you can find more than one hundred of available freelance platforms for that type of a job.</p>
<p>You can choose to work with whoever you want, whenever you want, and from any place you want. The only two things you need is your laptop and good internet connection, and you are ready to go! Basically, you are your own boss.</p>
<p>We have interviewed a self-educated logo designer <a href="https://99designs.com/profiles/1792388" target="_blank">Dzony99</a>, who has more than two years of experience and more than 50 completed projects in his career so far.</p>
<h2>Dzonny’s Journey</h2>
<p><a href="https://freelancetnt.com/ice-logo-design/" target="_blank"/></p><div><a href="https://freelancetnt.com/ice-logo-design/" target="_blank"><img src="https://cdn-images.postach.io/20ef77ff-38a1-4c93-b4e3-25849315983a/094f0d5d-89c9-4055-b92b-39ee2295e2ec/d717bdc8-e9cb-4aeb-8736-60a440fcfb17.jpg" alt="Ice Logo Design" title="Ice Logo Design" width="575" height="575"/></a></div><p/>
<p>The very first time I heard about logo design projects that are available for graphic designers online was in early 2014. A friend of mine introduced me a freelance platform for graphic designers – <a href="https://99designs.com/" target="_blank">99Designs</a>, and after that, my life changed in a very positive way. He was studying <a href="https://freelancetnt.com/graphic-design/" target="_blank">graphic design</a> and he was already a member on that platform with a status of “<a href="https://support.99designs.com/hc/en-us/articles/204761125-How-do-I-become-a-Platinum-designer-" target="_blank">platinum designer</a>“. I remember that I really liked what he showed me back then, so I decided to follow his path and start working as a freelance logo designer as well.</p>

<p>I was spending a lot of my free time watching graphic design tutorials on Youtube, reading blogs about graphic design and learning the basics of vector programs.</p>
<p><a href="https://freelancetnt.com/urban-logo-design/" target="_blank"/></p><div><a href="https://freelancetnt.com/urban-logo-design/" target="_blank"><img src="https://cdn-images.postach.io/20ef77ff-38a1-4c93-b4e3-25849315983a/094f0d5d-89c9-4055-b92b-39ee2295e2ec/ace942e3-f1ed-418e-ab45-c96d1e5a5ff3.jpg" alt="Urban Logo Design" title="Urban Logo Design" width="575" height="575"/></a></div><p/>

<p>Some of the best Youtube channels to learn about graphic and logo design that I would recommend are:</p>

<p>Today, I work as a full-time logo designer on 99Designs, but I also do other graphic work, such as designing business cards, vectors, icons, and more.</p>

<p>In my short career as a freelance logo designer,<strong> I have managed to work with people from all around the world</strong>, and most of them were from United States of America and Asia. Besides that, I had a couple of private projects where I made WordPress websites and custom icons for these sites.</p>
<p><a href="https://freelancetnt.com/sea-logo-design/" target="_blank"/></p><div><a href="https://freelancetnt.com/sea-logo-design/" target="_blank"><img src="https://cdn-images.postach.io/20ef77ff-38a1-4c93-b4e3-25849315983a/094f0d5d-89c9-4055-b92b-39ee2295e2ec/0e7442d2-91c7-4e72-93c3-e5a35da9d40d.jpg" alt="Sea Logo Design" title="Sea Logo Design" width="575" height="575"/></a></div><p/>
<p><strong>The greatest thing about freelancing is that you learn something new every day and you make friendships trough the projects</strong>. The key is to <strong>love what you do</strong>, work a lot, and always search for new techniques that you can master to be a better designer. I always put primacy on a quality work, not quantity, and that would be my main advice for anyone who is willing to start his journey in a freelancing world. <strong>Take your time, read a brief carefully and think about the concept</strong>. Search for some inspiration online.</p>

<p>The internet has become one of the greatest places to find design inspiration. Most of the time I’m looking for inspiration for my design projects on Google images and <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/aleksejxy/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a>.

<p>Following the tradition of the 365 Days Digital Drawing Challenge, an artist called <a href="https://www.facebook.com/CupkaviProblemi/" target="_blank">Hairy Problems</a> did an amazing performance in the field of digital art.</p>
<h2>The story behind</h2>
<p/><div><img src="https://cdn-images.postach.io/20ef77ff-38a1-4c93-b4e3-25849315983a/bebf1ff1-550b-401c-ae05-e8f97f287b17/4c3988e3-ddfb-495f-a133-f903329d137d.jpg" alt="Cupkavi Problemi" title="cupkavi problemi" width="575" height="850"/></div><p/>
<p>I used to work for a company that does 3D models and printing. It was a nice job, but at one point I came to the stage where I was no longer making any improvement. I have learned everything I could and it was the perfect time to take the next step.</p>
<p/><div><img src="https://cdn-images.postach.io/20ef77ff-38a1-4c93-b4e3-25849315983a/bebf1ff1-550b-401c-ae05-e8f97f287b17/5892465b-8e97-4760-ab69-f93e73df7cd3.jpg" alt="Cupkavi Problemi" title="cupkavi problemi" width="575" height="347"/></div><p/>
<p>By the time I used to work there, I have used all of my free time to draw and paint. That was the thing that I loved the most. The most of the time I was painting on the weekends, because that was the only free time that I had for myself. At one point my former company started to work on weekends as well, so I decided to quit my job and start doing things that I really love.</p>
<p/><div><img src="https://cdn-images.postach.io/20ef77ff-38a1-4c93-b4e3-25849315983a/bebf1ff1-550b-401c-ae05-e8f97f287b17/5c73f8e3-6be2-4e3d-8571-2dfa8d2b0e52.jpg" alt="Cupkavi Problemi" title="cupkavi problemi" width="575" height="1024"/></div><p/>
<p>That is a story behind this project. I wanted to force myself to draw each day in order to improve my painting and drawing skills. And I did it.</p>
<h2>About the project</h2>
<p/><div><img src="https://cdn-images.postach.io/20ef77ff-38a1-4c93-b4e3-25849315983a/bebf1ff1-550b-401c-ae05-e8f97f287b17/ec97499b-c9f7-463e-9663-725ba7a523df.jpg" alt="Cupkavi Problemi" title="cupkavi problemi" width="575" height="628"/></div><p/>
<p>The main character of the story is Hairy, and every day he is trying to deal with his usual problems.</p>
<p/><div><img src="https://cdn-images.postach.io/20ef77ff-38a1-4c93-b4e3-25849315983a/bebf1ff1-550b-401c-ae05-e8f97f287b17/cffd3ffb-e287-44f2-99de-f8f48f549587.jpg" alt="Cupkavi Problemi" title="cupkavi problemi" width="575" height="324"/></div><p/>
<p>I have also introduced the other characters that could be found in the 365 days digital drawing challenge trough the series of different pictures, such as Archibald the Hippo, Theodore, The Fox and many others. All of them have a unique story behind and unique personal characteristics.</p>
<p/><div><img src="https://cdn-images.postach.io/20ef77ff-38a1-4c93-b4e3-25849315983a/bebf1ff1-550b-401c-ae05-e8f97f287b17/7efafeaa-aa62-4a85-94ab-bb8081b914aa.jpg" alt="Cupkavi Problemi" title="cupkavi problemi" width="575" height="527"/></div><p/>
<h2>Doubts</h2>
<p>In one period of my creation process, I have encountered problems and doubts. Should I continue with my project? Is it good enough? What am I doing with my life right now? What will happen after the project is done?</p>
<p/><div><img src="https://cdn-images.postach.io/20ef77ff-38a1-4c93-b4e3-25849315983a/bebf1ff1-550b-401c-ae05-e8f97f287b17/dba6d755-9556-4c4d-a9e0-7df2cfdb0138.jpg" alt="Cupkavi Problemi" title="cupkavi problemi" width="575" height="382"/></div><p/>
<p>Every day I was encouraging myself to draw another picture that has a unique message. A unique message that brings words and drawing together in one piece.</p>
<h2>Inspiration</h2>
<p/><div><img src="https://cdn-images.postach.io/20ef77ff-38a1-4c93-b4e3-25849315983a/bebf1ff1-550b-401c-ae05-e8f97f287b17/43f3053f-4dc3-460b-ae20-6d77ffcb9f45.jpg" alt="Cupkavi Problemi" title="cupkavi problemi" width="575" height="840"/></div><p/>
<p>I’m a huge fan of what you can do with the help of colors and the light, and because of that, I was continuously looking for an inspiration in amazing artists that I follow, such as <a href="http://gorosart.deviantart.com/" target="_blank">Goro Fujita</a> and <a href="http://pascalcampion.deviantart.com/" target="_blank">Pascal Campion</a>. Their work was my inspirational base.</p>
<p/><div><img src="https://cdn-images.postach.io/20ef77ff-38a1-4c93-b4e3-25849315983a/bebf1ff1-550b-401c-ae05-e8f97f287b17/02046c83-c80d-4665-968a-215c7ef465b5.jpg" alt="Cupkavi Problemi" title="cupkavi problemi" width="575" height="358"/></div><p/>
<p>By trying to copy their unique way of seeing the light in their art, I managed to understand the psychology of colors and light and implement it in my own way. Through the process of my creation, I used my Wacom Intuos 3 drawing tablet and magnificent software called Adobe Photoshop. I guess I’m a little bit in love with something that actually has no soul.</p>
<p/><div><img src="https://cdn-images.postach.io/20ef77ff-38a1-4c93-b4e3-25849315983a/bebf1ff1-550b-401c-ae05-e8f97f287b17/100dba2d-bc39-419f-b1c5-26e8d55f2043.jpg" alt="Cupkavi Problemi" title="cupkavi problemi" width="575" height="373"/></div><p/>
<p><strong>I love Photoshop! </strong></p>
<h2>Future goals</h2>
<p>Speaking about my future goals, I really want to create my own animated movie that will be about the Hairy and his everyday problems. I’m thinking about short length cartoons (1-2 minutes length). And I firmly think that one day that cartoon will be famous!</p>
<p/><div><img src="https://cdn-images.postach.io/20ef77ff-38a1-4c93-b4e3-25849315983a/bebf1ff1-550b-401c-ae05-e8f97f287b17/d5574650-5dc6-4332-805d-4e85c098f1c7.jpg" alt="Cupkavi Problemi" title="cupkavi problemi" width="575" height="811"/></div><p/>
<p>I have finished my bachelor studies in architecture school that I found really fascinating. The art of architecture. My final project in architecture school was a mixture of architecture and illustrations, so I ended up by making my own world and I have built up entire scenography for a future novel, or a comic book, or even cartoon. It’s called „In The Woods“, and I can not be more excited about that.</p>
<p/><div><img src="https://cdn-images.postach.io/20ef77ff-38a1-4c93-b4e3-25849315983a/bebf1ff1-550b-401c-ae05-e8f97f287b17/b67bbdd8-cad9-4fec-bdec-c64aed436c87.jpg" alt="Cupkavi Problemi" title="cupkavi problemi" width="575" height="573"/></div><p/>
<p>I hope you will enjoy my drawings as much as I did making them.</p>
<p/><div><img src="https://cdn-images.postach.io/20ef77ff-38a1-4c93-b4e3-25849315983a/bebf1ff1-550b-401c-ae05-e8f97f287b17/e1612c00-4307-46c1-9c30-c3b9a01e668b.jpg" alt="Cupkavi Problemi" title="cupkavi problemi" width="575" height="601"/></div><p/>
<p>Big hug for you all!</p>

<p/><div><img src="https://cdn-images.postach.io/20ef77ff-38a1-4c93-b4e3-25849315983a/0380c6d0-b14e-48cd-a5d5-4829e7e5910e/656332c8-acc6-41f5-92b0-d8e1d6fba348.jpg" alt="digital-journalism" width="575" height="463"/></div><p/>
<h2>Basic SEO knowledge:</h2>
<p>Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of affecting the visibility of a website or a web page in a web search engine’s unpaid results – often referred to as “natural", “organic", or “earned" results. (source: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search_engine_optimization" target="_blank">Wikipedia</a>).</p>
<p>Importance of keywords</p>
<p>Every article is related to the specific topic. So, every topic is related to specific keyword/s.</p>
<p>Before you start writing, you should do a keyword research related to the topic you have chosen to write about. You can do it with Google’s free tool called <a href="https://adwords.google.com/KeywordPlanner" target="_blank">Google Keyword Planner</a> (you will have to open an account on Google AdWords first).</p>
<p>Once you have finished your keyword researching, you will have to know how to use your targeted keyword in a proper way. Here are some tips that you will have to follow:</p>
<h3>On Page SEO</h3>
<p>How to, where and where not to use your keyword in your content:</p>
<ul>
<li>Title tag: Title tag is the second most important piece of content on a webpage, so be sure to include your keyword in your title tag. It’s even better to start your title tag with the keyword.</li>
<li>The first paragraph of your content: Be sure to include your keyword in first few sentences of your content (first 100 words).</li>
<li>Description tag: Meta description tags are really important in gaining user click – trough from <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search_engine_results_page" target="_blank">SERP</a>, so be sure to have your keyword included in your meta description.</li>
<li>H1 tag: On category page H1 tag is treated as a category name, so, include your keyword in your H1 tag.</li>
<li>Include your keyword in your content more than once, but don’t overdo it. Using one keyword too many times in your content can hurt your page visibility.</li>
<li>Don’t use the same keyword in your h1, h2 and h3 tags. (Complete guide how to and why to use headings you can find on this <a href="https://yoast.com/headings-use/" target="_blank">link</a>).</li>
<li>URL: Make sure to include your keyword in your URL address</li>
<li>Content tags: Content tag is a term that is added to a web publication that relates the specific publication to others that are similarly tagged within the system. So, include your keyword in your content tag</li>
<li>Long-tail keywords: Long-tail keywords are longer and more specific keyword phrases which can be hugely valuable if you know how to use them. Use <a href="http://www.wordstream.com/long-tail-keywords" target="_blank">long-tail keywords</a> ( two to four-word phrase) in your content tags.</li>
</ul>
<p/><div><div/></div><p/>
<h2>Content checklist</h2>
<ul>
<li>Content length: If you want to reach the first page of Google’s search results (when someone is looking for a content that has your main keyword included), try to write at least 1200 words (more is better).</li>
<li>Duplicate content: Do not publish duplicate content on your website, it will have a negative influence on site search engine visibility (even if it’s slightly modified).</li>
<li>Keyword density: Don’t go overboard with your targeted keyword, it can hurt your page rank.</li>
<li>Spelling and grammar: If your content is grammatically correct, it will send a quality signal to search engines, so be sure to write your content on grammatically proper way.</li>
<li>Content update: If you have already published content about a specific topic, and meanwhile you have found more information that you can add, do it! Updating your content will improve your search engines rank.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Internal and external links</h2>
<ul>
<li>Outbound links: Linking to high authority sites related to your content will improve your search engines ranking stats. Try to link to at least three relevant websites, but don’t overdo it.</li>
<li>Wikipedia: Find relevant source from Wikipedia for your content and link to it. Google finds Wikipedia as a high authority site.</li>
<li>Inbound links: Use internal links to improve your On-Page SEO. If you have more pages on your websites that are related to the similar topic, be sure to use this strategy, but use it in a smart way (do not link words to another content that is not related to it).</li>
</ul>

<h2>Multimedia</h2>
<p>In a digital world, images, videos, and another multimedia elements may act as a content quality signal.</p>
<ul>
<li>Images: Use the power of images to make your content better. It’s not just going to make your content visually better, it will also act as a quality content signal.</li>
</ul>
<p>Optimize your images to get more traffic on your website.</p>
<p>How to optimize images for your content?</p>
<p>Before you add a new image to your website, there are some things that you will have to do first:</p>
<p>Right click on your image and open properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Add a title – give your image a name</li>
<li>Add a subject – tell what your image is about</li>
<li>Add tags for your images (use tags relevant to the topic you are writing about) <strong>Extra tip: Use your competitors name as one of your image tags for chances to be found via Google images when someone is looking for your competitor. </strong>Do not use more than eight tags.</li>
<li>Add a comment: Describe your content in two – three sentences and add that description in your image comment.</li>
</ul>
<p>After you have done with that, upload your image to your website.</p>
<p>Once your image is uploaded, open it on your website and add additional description and alt text.</p>
<ul>
<li>Video: Google owns Youtube. Including Youtube video that is related to the topic in your post will send high-quality ranking signals to search engines. Use at least one Youtube video in your post.</li>
</ul>

<p>With more than 1,3 active billion users, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/FreelanceTnT" target="_blank">Facebook</a> represents the most visited virtual metro station in <a href="https://freelancetnt.com/category/social-media/" target="_blank">Social Media</a> world. Imagine the enormous number of users with different interests, preferences, daily habits and selective focus and all of them in one place in a specific period of a time. Looking at this statistic, it’s pretty obvious that aiming your targeted audience to react to your published content it’s not an easy thing to do.</p>
<p>There is a lot of methods available that you can use to reach your promotion goals. One of them is the promotion of the content to your targeted audience, by using <a href="https://www.facebook.com/business/help/200000840044554" target="_blank">Facebook Ad Manager</a>, wich can give you pretty good results based on the reach to a significant number of users.</p>
<p>By using this method you can drive a solid traffic to your website, but still, it can not guarantee that your audience will find your content as a content of high value. No one can guarantee you that your audience will react to your content as you expected (huge number of likes, comments, and shares). Most important, you’re not going to achieve a long-term interaction with your audience.</p>
<p>Most of the time we can talk about connections that are easy to break because they were grounded on superficial clicks and lack of interaction.</p>
<p><strong>Recent surveys have found that up to 25% of all traffic to websites is driven by Facebook.</strong></p>
<p>Impressive.</p>
<p/><div><img src="https://cdn-images.postach.io/20ef77ff-38a1-4c93-b4e3-25849315983a/9d37c9ff-9e1c-44eb-a9be-d7f682dc1b15/76f22dad-0017-48bb-ac33-445cd9cca4f2.jpg" alt="5-ways-to-boost-your-facebook-engagement" width="575" height="381"/></div><p/>
<p><strong>How to increase interaction on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/FreelanceTnT" target="_blank">Facebook</a>?</strong></p>
<p>Depending on the type of your business, you can use different strategies to animate your audience.</p>
<p>You don’t want your Facebook page to look like there’s no one visiting it. Those types of pages can even reject your potential users to engage with your page.</p>
<p>The average Facebook user spends 20 minutes daily on this <a href="http://freelancetnt.com/category/social-media/" target="_blank">Social Media</a> channel, and you will have to induce them to stay more time and interact with your content. Also, the <a href="https://contently.com/strategist/2016/06/29/7-ways-facebooks-big-algorithm-change-will-affect-marketers-and-publishers/" target="_blank">newest update of the Facebook algorithm</a> it’s not helping us at all.</p>
<p>If your Facebook posts aren’t getting any reaction, it’s time to ask yourself: <strong>What am I doing wrong?</strong></p>
<p>We suggest you <strong>5 WAYS</strong> to increase your Facebook interaction:</p>
<h2>VIDEO</h2>
<p>The Facebook video stands as an extremely important content for getting more post interactions. <strong>It’s not a myth that you can encourage your audience to react by using video.</strong></p>
<p/><div><div/></div><p/>
<p><strong>Facebook treats video as a high-valuable content</strong> and regarding that when a user spends few seconds watching it, it’s very likely that he will bump into your content again. I personally had situations where the Facebook video achieved three times better engagement than the link, and both were about the same topic.</p>
<p>Using Facebook video is a better way to get more reactions and more traffic to your website. It’s recently announced that there is more than one million of Facebook video content on this <a href="http://freelancetnt.com/category/social-media/" target="_blank">Social Media</a> channel posted by small businesses. It’s proven fact that <strong>Facebook increasingly relies on the power of the visual content.</strong></p>
<p>So, make a video, publish it on Facebook, pin it to the top and watch how it goes!</p>
<h2>PHOTO</h2>
<p>Photography is a strong media, and on Facebook, it represents one of the most important bases for getting the attention of your audience. It’s the true old school. Photos are clear and concise and are easily digestible to the mind.</p>
<p/><div><img src="https://cdn-images.postach.io/20ef77ff-38a1-4c93-b4e3-25849315983a/9d37c9ff-9e1c-44eb-a9be-d7f682dc1b15/540991be-7708-45d0-93e2-be44478f44e9.jpg" alt="5-ways-to-boost-facebook-engagement" width="575" height="383"/></div><p/>
<p>Most of the time people play on the card to post photos that are not strictly related to their type of the business.</p>
<p>Huge mistake.</p>
<p><strong>Your content needs to „talk“ to your targeted audience</strong>, the audience that you eventually want to sell your product. <strong>Images are the great way to tell stories</strong>: Quickly and powerfully.</p>
<p>Try to find photos that will work good for you, photos that will identify the audience that you wish to have on your side. It could be a combination of the quote from your <a href="http://freelancetnt.com/digital-journalism-essential-skills/" target="_blank">latest blog</a>, or your personal professional advice and the right photo. You can find a lot of websites that offers royalty free photos, such as <a href="https://pixabay.com/" target="_blank">Pixabay</a>, <a href="https://unsplash.com/" target="_blank">Unsplash</a>, <a href="https://www.pexels.com/" target="_blank">Pexels</a>, <a href="https://visualhunt.com/" target="_blank">Visual Hunt</a>, etc.</p>
<p><strong>Don’t miss a chance to refresh your news feed with the eye-catchy photos</strong> and in that way increase your follower’s interaction with your page.</p>
<p>Take your personal photo and share it on your page, give a behind-the-scenes look into your business or an insider perspective on what makes your business tick. <strong>Publish personal photos of you and your team</strong>, working and bonding, having your team building activities, etc. This is an excellent way to send a message and interact with your audience.</p>
<p>If you know how to use a Photoshop, try to create your personal photos, put your company logo on them and offer an original content. Use the similar look and feel across all your graphics to increase online awareness of your brand.</p>
<p><strong>Photos are worth thousand words and on Facebook even more.</strong></p>
<h2>CONTENT</h2>
<p/><div><img src="https://cdn-images.postach.io/20ef77ff-38a1-4c93-b4e3-25849315983a/9d37c9ff-9e1c-44eb-a9be-d7f682dc1b15/0ecbcd34-ffc5-4861-b544-75a53799ac3d.jpg" alt="digital-media" width="575" height="406"/></div><p/>
<p>Today you can find any type of the content on the Internet. Most of that content is copy-paste. In the sea of the identical and similar contents that you can find wherever you look, the original content has a special place.</p>
<p>Fair, isn’t it?</p>
<p>Both Google and his main ally Facebook simply love websites that have original content to offer. What that really means is, if you have more original content on your website, your web page will have a higher rank in Google’s search results.</p>
<p>There are some certain difficulties that you will have to overcome.</p>
<p><strong>At this moment, limited reach hits all the Facebook pages.</strong></p>
<p>There is a way to solve this problem:</p>
<p><strong>Try to publish attractive content with at least 1200 words.</strong></p>
<p>Try to build trust and loyalty of your audience by publishing the ridiculous amount of valuable information, whether it’s advice or simply how to article. Whether it’s information that saves your audience’s money, helps them make money or win in a negotiation, keep them tuned in and coming back for more.</p>
<p><strong>Remember, your brand or product is UNIQUE!</strong></p>
<p>Whether there are direct competitors or not, there are things that your product or service does that nobody else can claim, so take advantage of these features and highlight them accordingly to your Facebook strategy.</p>
<p><strong>Don’t forget to check out trending topics, identify and analyze trends for your page</strong>.</p>
<h2>BE PERSONAL</h2>
<p>The most common mistake that small businesses are making is publishing content without a personal touch.</p>
<p/><div><img src="https://cdn-images.postach.io/20ef77ff-38a1-4c93-b4e3-25849315983a/9d37c9ff-9e1c-44eb-a9be-d7f682dc1b15/4703be58-46e0-4a3d-8df6-a1121fe8342b.jpg" alt="how to be personal" width="575" height="381"/></div><p/>
<p>I will give you a specific example:</p>
<p>If your title is: „How to become successful freelancer?“, and in your post comment, you use the same title, a huge amount of your audience will just scroll down your post and it will remain unnoticed.</p>
<p>You don’t want that.</p>
<p><strong>Be personal</strong>, try to avoid speech in the third party, tell more about your <a href="http://freelancetnt.com/about-me-aleksejxy/" target="_blank">personal experience</a>, and give specific examples. Try to accomplish personal contact with your targeted audience.</p>
<p>One of the most important rules to follow is: <strong>Ask questions</strong> in your posts.</p>
<p><strong>Questions are a proven way to increase your post engagement.</strong></p>
<p>It is probably the easiest way and one of the best methods to get people to respond to your posts. There are many types of questions that you can ask your fans. Let’ s say, you’ re doing promotion for a Festival of the Independent Movie happening in a couple of days.</p>
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><strong>Specific question</strong></td>
<td>What’s your favorite movie?</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><strong>Timely question</strong></td>
<td>Movie Festival is starting today. How are you celebrating?</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><strong>Provocative</strong><strong> question</strong></td>
<td>Do you think we should invest more money and be more supportive towards independent movies?</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><strong>Experience question</strong></td>
<td>What was your favorite moment from the last night?</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><strong>Direct question</strong></td>
<td>What do you think people love or hate about Movie Festivals?</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><strong>YES or NO question</strong></td>
<td>Do you like thrillers?</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><strong>Fun question</strong></td>
<td>If you got stuck on the desert island, what movie you would like to watch there ? We have our favorite. </td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>These are only a couple of examples how can you use questions to interact with your audience.</p>
<p>Don’t forget to <strong>be responsive</strong>, respond to comments and messages. In the end, social media is simply social, so don’t hesitate to share relevant content from other businesses who post in your niche.</p>
<h2>EXPERIMENT AND HAVE FUN</h2>
<p/><div><img src="https://cdn-images.postach.io/20ef77ff-38a1-4c93-b4e3-25849315983a/9d37c9ff-9e1c-44eb-a9be-d7f682dc1b15/2934926c-5caf-44a6-a6a3-78f959033253.jpg" alt="5-ways-to-boost-your-facebook-engagement" width="575" height="383"/></div><p/>
<p><strong>The virtual audience is extremely dynamic.</strong></p>
<p>Always have this on your mind: Things and trends are changing and they are changing rapidly.</p>
<p><strong>Try to follow your audience and analyze their behavior.</strong> While of course, it depends on your audience, your content, and your overall goal, the timing of your Facebook post is something to consider in a serious way. You need to know when people are most likely to check for updates on their <a href="http://freelancetnt.com/category/social-media/" target="_blank">Social Media</a> accounts.</p>
<p>There are a lot of available tools to manage your Facebook page (<a href="https://hootsuite.com/" target="_blank">HootSuite</a>, <a href="https://buffer.com/" target="_blank">Buffer</a>, <a href="https://www.socialbakers.com/" target="_blank">Social Bakers</a>, etc.). With the help of these tools, you can easily manage and publish your content in a required time.</p>
<p>The truth is: <strong>Timing is everything.</strong></p>
<p><strong>The same strategy can not always bring the same results.</strong> Think about using Gifs in your posts, monthly challenges, contests, and pools.</p>
<p><strong>Contests are another great way to boost your Facebook engagement.</strong> There are many types of contests that you can organize. <a href="https://www.binkd.com/" target="_blank">Binkd</a> is social media promotion platform that allows you to create contests that will definitely increase your engagement. The thrill of potentially getting something for free is a great incentive, and would most likely have little actual cost for your business when compared with the social media and brand awareness payoff.</p>
<p><strong>Incorporate humor and have fun</strong>. Pay attention to your content and you will accomplish success.</p>
<h2>FINAL THOUGHTS</h2>
<p>Everyone feels the impact of the Facebook’s latest update. It’s not the time to give up of this virtual giant, it’s time to change our approach.</p>
<ul>
<li>Be inspirational and creative</li>
<li>Be well organized and make plans.</li>
<li>Stick to the formula: S + S + S = S. (Strategy + System + Schedule = Success)</li>
<li>Be personal</li>
<li>Use the power of visual content</li>
<li>What works for your brand may not work for others. Be free to experiment</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>1, 2, 3…GO!</strong></p>
