"If He Needed Someone, I Wanted to Be That Someone"
I saw something last week that impacted me deeply. I was at my local Starbucks, typing away on my laptop, totally in the zone, when suddenly, my eyes were pulled to this older gentlemen, sitting on his own, barely touching his coffee, swollen eyes and no ring on his finger. I don’t usually go up to people I don’t know, but I felt like I needed to approach him. But I was nervous. I didn’t want to be presumptuous. Maybe he was just waiting for someone, maybe he was perfectly fine. But maybe he wasn’t. This was the usual back and forth I would play in my mind in these situations, but I grew frustrated with my fear and insecurity. If he indeed needed someone, I wanted to be that someone.

Easy Social Media Marketing Strategy
While Social Media Marketing (SMM) can be a scary endeavor, it is easier than most people understand, as long as they start slow and grow at their own pace. The ultimate goal is to be on multiple platforms, but there is no reason why you need to be on all of them in the very beginning. Start slow, with the most strategic platform for your business, and then branch outward.

Social Media Stakes Its Claim as a Powerhouse For Business
Today the world is inundated with information and information sources. Hard copy, verbal, TV, cable, blogs, and the internet compete for the individual's attention. But the most vibrant, important, and growing aspect is that of social media. This social media powerhouse that impacts businesses is Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, Quora, and numerous conspiracy sites to entertain the crazed among us until the end of time. While social media has a great impact on business, there is a great amount of bias and speculation interspersed in this social media empire. There is sane and sanguine information that can help to promote our businesses, and make our lives better. One such example is the Dr. Mercola website, Dr. Mercola is an alternative medicine practitioner whose followers take charge of a large portion of their treatment for their conditions in consort with others in the group and Dr. Mercola himself. Visit his website here.

Instagram Informercials
Like most millennials, I find myself scrolling through Instagram for hours at a time. Depending on your algorithm, you can come across some exciting and fun pages. You have your news pages, beauty pages, gossip pages, health and fitness pages, etc. Let's be honest. I use Instagram as a one-stop shop for my consumer purchases. I've purchased jewelry, art, facial scrubs and treatments, shirts with funny sayings and head wraps. For the last few years, I've noticed that I no longer look for brands that appease me — continuous popups on my feed with products that I'm not interested in using. I get it. I love business savvy people who like to introduce new products and to push their business to the limits. I especially have a love for black businesses. I love to spend my dollars on individuals who value me and my money. Once you put your profile on public, it's a free for all for unwanted DM's and product pushers who want you to try their products.
