Tips for Optimizing and Using the Full Potential of WordPress
Due to its beginner-friendly layout and the fact that WordPress (WP) currently runs about 30 percent of the entire internet, there are those who assume it’s an entry-level CMS. Still, this is mostly because they take a simplistic approach to content management, naturally assuming that all of its users are laymen who just haven’t discovered what other platforms have to offer. The truth is that a person who knows WP inside and out, needn’t fear growth.
There are so many unused features and management techniques to discover, so many plugins to integrate and so many fresh themes to try out, that there is no chance that your growth will ever be stopped by the potential of WP. For this statement to hold true, however, you need to learn a couple of tips that can help you optimize and use the full potential of WP.
How to Use Video Marketing to Promote Your Business
Starting up a business is never easy. You always have to come up with a good strategy to maintain your lead. Fortunately these days, more methods are being created and improved to make everything simpler – from managing the business to marketing the brand.
When it comes to marketing the brand, one method that proved to be effective is sharing videos.
A video is another form of sharing content with your audience. Creating it requires more time compared to a written content; but in terms of its effectiveness, marketers have proven it to be more convincing, help drives deeper relationship to the audience, and boost search engine rankings.
This is the reason every business owner and marketers listed video marketing on top of their strategy list. If you’re wondering how you can incorporate videos into your marketing strategy, here are 5 tips that can help you get started!

6 Principles of Persuasion Explained With Propaganda Posters
The ability to influence large groups of people is a powerful skill. Today, media has become one of the preeminent tools of influence, where public figures, authors, actors, musicians and politicians alike can communicate directly with large groups of people. Following the royal wedding in April of 2011, the fashion choices of Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, created a phenomenon deemed the “Kate Effect” in which anything she wore flew off retail shelves. In 2015 alone the Duchess’ fashion brought more than $205 million to the British economy, and her sister-in-law, Meghan Markle, is predicted to bring $677 million, an example of the power of influence, and media’s role in its proliferation.
Before the rise of the social media influencer, however, advertising and propaganda posters were some of the most powerful persuasion tools available. Propaganda posters have been used for decades to inspire, educate, and galvanize the public. Whether you are selling a product, a war, or an idea, advertising can be a powerful tool to inform and persuade your audience.
There’s a reason we’re so invested in movies and watching something play out on a screen versus reading a book about the same topic.
Motion is exciting to us, and often conveys a message difficult to express through text alone.
Granted, watching animated logos all day isn’t quite as fun as binge-watching The Office, but nonetheless, it still often wins in a contest against its static alternative -- doesn’t it?
Presiding over a 10+ year old blog has a lot of unique challenges. There are some days when it seems like we've covered all there is to cover, and others when it doesn't seem like we can possibly keep up with changing trends and technologies fast enough.
From where you sit, it might seem like we've figured it all out -- we're one of the largest and most visited B2B blogs on the internet, we have a team of extremely talented and motivated staff writers, and we still manage to find new stories you want to read on a daily basis.
But growth doesn't just happen -- you have to work at it, and then keep working at it.
