You can even try out YouTube by uploading behind the scenes of what goes into the business as people really enjoy watching it as it’s a source of inspiration and enjoyment. It attracts customers and you'll get more people to visit your business account.

2. Your content matters a lot so your product pictures should be clean and aesthetic. For the text and design of the logo go to canva over there you can make it for free.

3. For your content to reach the audience you need to give Ads by paying $5 to $10. Those ads can be given anywhere like Youtube or even by boost posts on Instagram. Another way is by placing banner ads on local or industrial websites for promotion.

In the pr, if they like the product they will show it to their followers whereas in a paid collaboration they will post according to your choice. For many businesses, pr works well but if you want more attention and customers for your product then paid post is your way to go.

5. Creating a website for your business is essential as it leaves a more professional impression on the customer. Also, it's hassle-free as the customers can see the price themselves without texting personally. Many customers hesitate to message individually and like a website for this purpose. If you don't know how to make a website se our post on it.

6. Start with local marketing as any big or small business becomes national than international. Local marketing can be done by giving your product to local sellers and stores so that it's easily accessible as people get more attracted to the product in front of them as they can see it. Having the product visually in front of the buyer is very effective for purchase.

7. Explain your product to the audience and its benefits as there are many things that the seller thinks won't matter but they are appealing to your customers. So making sure your product benefits are clearly portrayed is very important. Using simple English words to describe your product is better because if you use high language then the customer will be put off and less inclined toward the product.

8. Produce SEO-optimized content as it inflates your visibility on search engines, which helps to drive traffic to your website and stimulates people to purchase your products. Through SEO you can improve the website traffic which is favorable to your business.

9. If you have zero knowledge of online marketing then you can attend a digital marketing workshop or avail a course online. In this way, you will get to know all the tips and tricks for marketing and if you have good marketing and a good product it won't take much time for your business to flourish.

10. Customer care is very important, you need to have good communication skills while communicating to your customers and delivery service as they get frustrated very quickly if these two things go wrong. In the end, it leaves a bad impression of your business even if the product is good. So keep this in mind as the first impression is the last impression. If they like the experience they will recommend it to their family and friends which is very beneficial for the business.

Hope these tips help your business grow and if they do let us know in the comments. Thank you!

The Fictional Character All Teenage Girls Look Up To

 

 The fictional character all teenagers identify the most with is Hermione Jean  Granger from J.K Rowlings Harry Potter Series. The reason why they resonate with her is that she was undeniably loyal and was with her friends all the time through thick and thin. She once said, " All I can do is follow my instincts as I'll never please Everyone ".What she said were golden words! and what they like about her is: being loyal, following my instincts and not what others say about her, caring about friends, and always sticking with the truth no matter what. She spoke maturely yet in a sophisticated way. She loved reading books, exploring more about magic and the science behind it, and was also really good at studies. One of the reasons many teenagers resonate with her a lot is because growing up they saw her as my role model and started turning like her. She was smart and adventurous and they wanted to be exactly like her. They even follow her studying method which helped them in their memorizing skills.

Global Warmings Adverse Effects On Our Environment

 Global Warming has affected the world immensely especially the current times are those in which we are facing extreme conditions such as severe weather conditions which lead to high temperatures such as heavy rainfall, storms, heatwaves, droughts, floods, and wildfires. Due to droughts, people can’t access clean drinking water and because of the lack of water sudden deaths take place. During floods people, lives and property gets damaged as well as affect the clean water supply. The biggest global threat is the increasing death rate due to high temperatures, hurricanes, tornadoes, storms, heatstroke, and lack of food. As a result of rising temperatures, air pollution is increasing by the ground-level ozone created by vehicles and industries. It causes diseases like asthma, lung cancer, and high risk to patients with cardiac diseases. Not just humans but animals are also dying due to forest fires which can soon cause wildlife extinction. Moreover, the burning of fossil fuels releases harmful gases which are toxic greenhouse gases. One of those is sulfur which combines with the rainwater causing acid rain. Acid rain causes corrosion of buildings, acidic oceans, and death of marine life which is very alarming. The change in climatic conditions causes heavy rainfall which contributes to floods. During floods, people lose their houses, properties, and jobs and even suffer poverty. Global warming awareness is very crucial in this era and a few places like India, Pakistan, and America should really take care as they contribute to global warming the most due to their businesses and extreme weather conditions.
