If Facebook Were a Country.... So you may have heard, right at the end of June, Facebook reached the 2 billion user mark. Meaning if Facebook were a country, it would be the most populous in the world. After launching only 13 years ago, Facebook now serves 2 billion of the 7.5 billion people on the planet. And there is no end in sight on that growth. Check out this chart, which can be found in an article from  TechCrunch.com So what does that mean to you, as a business person trying to do business in the land of Facebook ? Well, frankly, first and foremost, if you're NOT doing business already on Facebook , you better start. Your competitors are there. Your customers are there. Heck, your customer's mama is there. Everyone is there. If you're not, you are missing the boat. BUT, as we always will tell you, you better not go in there thinking you can be all business all the time and find that success you're looking for... Above all else, Facebook is still SOCI...

6 Habits Of Successful Online Entrepreneurs Online entrepreneurship is growing every single year. From bloggers and influencers, to web designers, freelance writers, virtual assistants (and so much more), our generation is kicking office culture to the curb. Almost everything can be done virtually these days and people keep finding new ways to make money online. More people are realizing that when you could work on building your own dreams, it makes little sense to work on someone else’s. The online world and social media has created so many opportunities for us to create our own empires. When people asked me what I wanted to be when I was younger, “a blogger” wasn’t even a thing yet. It wasn’t actually until last year that I decided I wanted to take my blog from passion to hustle. Along with monetizing my blog I’m also a freelance writer and run an e-commerce business where I help people save and make money when they shop online…pretty rad, right? It IS pretty rad, but ...

How to Strengthen Weak Ties and Expand Your Network Every day we continuously build our strong ties. We talk to our boss, we grab coffee with a coworker sitting next to us, we go jogging with a close friend. These habits and rituals can be comforting, but they can also be restrictive if they only expose us to limited ideas and ways of thinking. When we limit ourselves to interacting only with our strong ties, we prevent ourselves from the benefits of weak ties. Weak ties is a sociology term referring to surface-level relationships or acquaintances. These are individuals we might see on Facebook, but never  really  talk to or get to know. They are the people in our office who work on a different account or the person you sit next to at your volunteer meeting but never actually engage with. When we intentionally build connections with weak ties, we expose ourselves to new things, different ways of thinking, and have the opportunity to create a more dynam...

The Best Questions To Ask At Networking Events If you survey a room and ask if they would rather spend the evening with a group of close friends or a group of strangers, you can almost guarantee that they would unequivocally choose to spend time with friends. Your perception of attending a networking event may be wearing a name tag, struggling to start or maintain a conversation, making mindless  small talk  and receiving business cards from people you may not have the intention of emailing or seeing again. I get it. I used to feel the same way until I learned to  network authentically . I started asking questions that made the conversation insightful and interesting and left me feeling inspired and motivated to connect. I’ve met people who have become close friends, mentors, employers and clients. I reached out to a few successful women to find out the best questions to ask at networking event...

When it comes to learning social media, it can be incredibly overwhelming. With literally hundreds of new sites and apps available – with more popping up daily – it is hard to feel like you are really gaining any traction for your direct sales business. Whether you are looking to increase your business on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc, here are five simple steps to help you master using social media for your direct sales business. Be picky about where you choose to be present. You don’t need to be on every single social media site that’s out there. In fact, that can be worse than picking just a few. Take a look at your business and analyze what sites would be best for you to be on. Facebook is always a must, as it reaches the most people. But will your business benefit from something like Twitter? Can you get your point across in that short amount of characters? What about Instagram? Or more recently Periscope?
