5 Things to Work On While in Lockdown

-

This place seems eerily familiar. Restrictions have been placed on Trinidad and Tobago once again, in response to the rising number of Covid-19 cases. The last time we were in "lockdown" mode, I advised you to do whatever you wanted with your time via my Instagram platform. That still applies, however, here's what you can also work on if you find you have extra time on your hands:

1. Your Mindset: You have to change the way you think. Your mindset is the only thing that can pull you through the days when you're running on empty. Low/No sales demotivate you enough to quit? You keep second-guessing yourself? All true emotions we go through from time-to-time, but does that mean you should not press forward?

2. Your Strategy: Change your approach. Do you have a strategy in place that works for your social media or are you just winging it? Winging it is fine, but winging it is like burning loads of gas while going nowhere. Invest in a strategy and follow-through!

3. Your Plan: 2020 has 4 months left. What's your plan? Do you plan to finish the year strong despite the pandemic? Take some time to plan content, plan a rebrand, plan the different things you want to implement in your business. Now may be a great time to create a Business Vision Board. Check out my next post to find out how to do one!

4. Building Relationships: Not any old kind of relationships, but strong relationships with your following. Have meaningful conversations with them in your DMs. If they've interacted with your content before, MESSAGE them. If they have not, take the initiative and approach them first.

5. Stay Safe: Most importantly, work on keeping healthy. Follow all the guidelines that have been shared. Wear your mask, practice social distancing, limit your in-person interactions & WASH YOUR HANDS!

I remember when I bought floppy discs to save my assignments and it was the coolest thing. Look at us now touching the skies and what not, living our lives on the cloud, LOL. We have come really far with technology, but Digital Marketing has also evolved over the years. Today, we'll be looking at the history of  Digital Marketing through a short video I created! Listen out for the questions and interact with me, as always! UPDATE:  I have started my own personal  blog . Follow me on  Instagram  &  Twitter  for more content!! Works Cited: Lincoln, J.

  Photo by Pixabay: https://www.pexels.com/photo/jet-cloud-landing-aircraft-46148/ I am not writing this review with any mal intent but to evoke any self-reflection on the part of the owner of Mood Images Events & Travel . At no point will I advise you not to book with this agency, however, my documented experience should serve as a cautionary tale. I am also of the view that you should accept the part you play in your own suffering so, of course, I know that I did not hold the owner accountable on several occasions because all I wanted was a good trip. With that being said, let’s begin. I really wanted to go on my first solo trip this year and this motivated me to continue accepting questionable service from this organization. I booked a 4 days-3 nights' trip to St. Lucia. What motivated me to go with this travel agency?   I’m a Digital Content Manager – I create, curate & manage content for several local and international companies - so naturally content is wh...

5 Marketing Lessons from Emily in Paris

So I binged-watched the hit series, Emily in Paris in one night. It was that entertaining. I loved the 'Ugly Betty' undertones, the relatability of the character Emily and the humour that the language barriers brought about! The fashion! The food! The wanderlust of it all and of course the romance. If you haven't watched an episode yet....you should. I'm waiting with bated breath for season 2! Apart from all the fluff that makes a series like this particularly great, there were some important marketing lessons that you may have missed out on. But not to worry, I'm here to break them down for ya! Lesson 1: Content is Everywhere & Everything Formulating a strategy is one of the first things Marketers talk about....so it's always in our faces. But, sometimes content falls outside of that strategic box and literally creates its own 'strategy' if you will. If you are in the digital marketing field, I know that you know, that our minds are always on go. Tr...
