FIVE CREATIVE THINGS TO POST ON FACEBOOK TO IMPROVE ENGAGEMENT

Once in a long while, you may run out of ideas to post on Facebook. Well, don’t worry as that’s normal and thousands of entrepreneurs using the biggest social media platform have to deal with the same problem eventually. What you just need is a bit of creativity and something to push you into thinking outside the box. To do that, let me show you a few samples that I’m sure will encourage you to get more ideas popping.

IMPROVE YOUR ENGAGEMENT BY POSTING THESE FIVE CREATIVE THINGS ON FACEBOOK

SHARE CONTENT FROM YOUR FOLLOWERS

Sometimes, you will get some pretty appreciative comments and messages on your account. Those senders are probably more than willing to give more such as feedbacks, photos, or even videos of your product, service, or just about you or your brand. And those are actually content that you can use for your next post.

Make use of them in an entertaining way as much as you can. You can compile pictures of them and showcase how happy they are with your product. It’s easy and doesn’t take a lot of time – that’s because they’re handed to you without any effort of reaching out.

POST “CAPTION THIS” POSTS

Another thing to break the ice from time to time is to post something funny but can yield tons of engagement. Simply post a photo about anything – preferably your product/service is part of the picture for indirect advertising. Then, ask them to give it a caption. Remember, the pictures that work best are those that can make you smile or laugh.

SHARE QUOTES

One of the most repetitive options I give out is posting quotes. Why? First of all, it’s valuable, inspiring, and easy to search and do. The great thing about it is that it won’t really affect how your followers perceive you as a business or brand. Your followers on Facebook will just think of it as a quote to inspire them for the day.

POST A TRIVIA

Post something that starts with “Did you know” or “Do you know.” Sometimes, your followers are easily intrigued with that line alone. Well, everyone does want to know your secrets – or basically anything that gives value to them. Make sure it’s entertaining and easy to remember, so that they can share it with their friends, too.

POST OPTIONS

Last but not least is to post options. What I mean by that is by giving them a choice. Example: a picture that portrays a dog or a cat. Let them choose which type of person are they and they’ll be flooding the comment section in no time. Also, just make sure to ask them to share or tag someone in the process to further increase exposure.

Why Instagram Is A Crucial Marketing Tool

Why Instagram Is A Crucial Marketing Tool

Way back four or five years ago, Instagram as you know it was just one of those crude photo sharing platforms – somewhat just for fun and for personal use. However, as the years go by, and thanks to Facebook’s amazing management on the app, it’s now one of the biggest social media platforms that I consider a must for every business. No matter what niche you’re in, Instagram has a good spot for you.

The Basics Why I Consider Instagram a Marketing Necessity

EXTREME MONTHLY USERS GROWTH

First and foremost, this social media platform is on a growth spurt! It is the only mobile app that has significantly – exceptionally – grown over 200 million in just a year. Last year, 2016, they have announced that there are over 500 million in June. Recently, just this April of 2017, which is technically less than a year, it’s now over 700 million monthly active users. That in mind should convince you Instagram is actually dominating, and if your business isn’t joining the party, you’re going to lose big time.

SECURITY AND PROMISE

Another thing why your business should definitely opt for this platform is because it is secure and its features are always being improved – bit by bit. Just like how fast the number of users is growing, so is their game. That’s why people love the app and stays in love with it as there are always new fascinating features popping up every month or two. And to assure you it’s going to be that way for a very long time, I can only tell you that Mark Zuckerberg has no intention of losing to Snapchat. Facebook’s owner will do everything in his power to make give Instagram the sharper edge.

INSTAGRAM IS TOO SIMPLE – YET POWERFUL

Last but not least why Instagram is a must for business is because everyone can use it without having any difficulty. What else can there be, it’s merely all about sharing a picture and describing it. First, it doesn’t take too much time as I know everyone nowadays can take a picture. Second, editing is child’s play as there are filters to choose from that can make dull pictures come to life – so there’s no need to be a pro. And lastly, marketing it is easy, thanks to its hashtag features. Posting a photo on this app will take no more than 20 minutes (that’s quite long already).

Because of these aspects, I consider Instagram to be currently the easiest and fastest means to get exposed online generically. And if you’re not using it yet, you’re simply skipping a gold mine.

Do something ALREADY!

Do something ALREADY!
That is what my mom
Used to say to me
When my dad yelled me
Stop hiding all the time!!! Be a man!!!
That was my childhood
when I grew up.
On the course of the
Years, I learned that
If I don't do anything
About my life, no one
Will do anything to help me.
I had to get a grip of
My life and start doing
More rather than saying.
Only after 3 years in the
Army, I decided it's time
To "Man Up" and start
Living my life as man
That takes charge of
His actions, his words
And most important
Thing MY LIFE!!!
Don't be like ME! ACT TODAY!

Fear prevents us from making
decisions when appropriate.
It explains how you can give
yourself power by taking action,
rather than putting yourself at
the mercy of your circumstances.
We've all been in that place.
You have a pretty good idea what
must be done, but you canít do it.
You know it is the appropriate
Thing to do, but you just can't act.
You are stuck.
You run the circumstances over and
over in your head, but still you don't
really do anything about it.
You wait for life to come
Along and work it out for you.
Then you accept the outcome.
There are times when this approach
Might be okay, perhaps even the best choice
But most of the time we just don't
Have the courage to make a decision.
That's what it boils down to, you know courage.
Well, I know thatís the case for me anyway.
I have taken to examining myself at such times
When I find it difficult to decide what best to do.
My discovery is that, even when it is abundantly
Clear that one action is for the greater good,
Fear stops me from acting of my own will.
I look at the "possible" consequences and
I can't bear to move forward.
What about the other action?
Well, the fallout of that might
Also be unbearable, so I don't take
that action either. I can't stay where I am.
I must do one of the other.
Repeatedly I return back to the
same fork in the road, and
I don't act on either one, hoping
that the next time I return there would
be more clarity.
Sadly, clarity hardly comes.
Eventually, when I do act, a lot more damage
has been done than was necessary...
Damage that could have been avoided if
I only had the courage to act sooner. 
Well, more damage isn't always done,
one could argue.
It's true. Still, at the very least, you take
away your control of the situation
by becoming a victim.
Surely that's wrong, you say.
What if you rush into a decision
that you later come to regret?
Wouldn't it be better to consider things
fully before you do something stupid?
Once again, that's correct.
However, for most people, the consideration
goes on for way longer than it should.
If there is something else that should happen first,
then that's fine; but this is not the case either, for most people.
It's just that they don't want to do what is necessary.

So step up to the plate.
Choose.
Don't be a victim of circumstance.
You can do so much more knowing
that you are responsible for the choices
that have delivered you to where you are in life.
 

Now I'm going to shut them up...

Now, when you are going
To shut them up, one by one,
When you will appear before
Them as the BEST version
Of yourself and show them that
Fearless, motivated person that
Been hiding inside of you all
Those years, what do you say?!

You need to be the Biggest Loser
when it comes to changing
your associations with others.

I am a Loser.
You're gonna learn from this writing
Today the reason why you
Too must be a Loser.
In all seriousness, let me share with
You why I am writing this.
Over twenty million Americans watched
The evolution of a winner in
A reality show called "The Biggest Loser".
This particular show involved severely overweight
And obese contestants that had simply lost
All control of their weight.
The winner that ultimately lost the most
body weight and decreased his overall
body fat was awarded $250,000.
I want to correlate this show to business,
life and to personal success.
You need to be the Biggest Loser
When it comes to changing your
Associations with others.
One of the contestants on the show was
Severely obese to the point that others
Would look at him and say to themselves,
He will never be healthy, he's past the point
Of no return, he's really disgusting.
But that person made the decision to change
His life and become the ultimate winner,
The Biggest Loser.
I want to share with you 5 secrets on how
You to can become The Biggest Loser.



Secret #1 Realization
You must realize where you are today.
The winner of the Biggest Loser realized
That he was overweight and would ultimately
Die from his decisions to allow
Himself to become so unhealthy.
He realized that enough is enough,
And he made a change.
I challenge you today to take a look at
Where you are in your
Business and/or your life.
Have you had enough?
If so, then you need to lose all your
Negative habits and associations.


Secret #2 Accountability

As soon as the contestants realized
Where they were in their lives, they
Became accountable to their teammates
(aka Mastermind Team) in order to
Become the Biggest Loser and drop
Massive amounts of weight.
These individuals look like
Completely different people.
This is similar to your progression
Towards your ultimate Why in life.
People start saying that you are
Changing you act different,
You sound different, you listen to
Different CDs, you read different books
And you even look different.
You are on a success journey and
Accountable to Champions on your
Mastermind Team. Where are you in your life?
Are others noticing these differences about you?
If not, itís time to drop the negative associations
And habits just like those contestants dropped that weight.
 
Secret #3 Extra Step
The contestants pushed themselves to go
the extra mile by participating in extra workouts, 
taking advantage of the extra associations with
others that have goals and dreams like them and
pushing themselves that extra step not to take part
in indulgences that would ruin their overall goal of
losing weight and becoming The Biggest Loser. 
Have you taken that extra step by attending extra
events/seminars, making extra calls, investing in extra
CDs and associating with extraordinary people? 
This extra step will push you to the next level and
give you that edge that others donít have.


Secret #4 Rewards
Reward yourself as you begin to change
And go to the next level. 
When you go to an extra event/seminar, 
save the ticket, your name tag, etc. and
Put them in your dream journal. 
This is a way of saying
"I did it! I went that extra step and now this is my reward!" 
Be excited about that extra step and reward
yourself with praise and self-acknowledgment.


Secret #5 Personal Coach
Every single person on that show had
A Personal Coach. 
Are you happy where you are in your life? 
Do you need to lose weight, lose debt, gain health, 
gain wealth, lose negative associations, 
gain a Mastermind Team, gain prosperity, 
lose failure and/or gain success? 
A major secret to achieving your ultimate
Why is the importance a Personal Coach. 
The first thing that The Biggest Loser did
When he won the $250,000 was hug his Personal Coach. 
Why? Because his Personal Coach was there each and
Every step of the way. I know when I personally coach
Champions and receive their emails/calls saying that they
Have gone to the next level in their lives, I experience
Great excitement in their accomplishments. 
That's what happens when you become a Champion
That's what life is all about! You can't do it alone!


In order to become a Winner in life,
you must first become a Loser.
I suggest that you read this article another 5 times.
Analyze where you are right now,
where you want to go, who you must associate
With to get there and the habits
That you must lose to do it.
For those of you who want to go to
The next level, I would love to be your
Personal Coach and I only coach Champions
Who truly believe that they are worthy to receive
success and go to the next level in life!

Find your WHY & FLY!

It's time for A PLAN OF ACTION!

A simple equation for a plan of action.  
Starting the process of
Attaining a successful life.  
What you need to know to
Make positive life altering changes.

You have finally made the decision
that it is time to make some
changes in your life.  
You know that the only way things
are going to get better for you financially,
spiritually and physically is if
you sit up and take action.  
You know you have to put forth
the effort in order to reap the rewards.  

So how exactly are you going to
implement these changes?  
You are going to have a "plan of action".

A plan of action is crucial to your success.  
Without a plan, it is merely a thought.  
When you add your thoughts to paper
coupled with a desire to see them become
realities and proceed to do everything
possible to fulfill that desire you
have a template for success.

A simple equation to use when creating
a plan of action from your
template is Desire + Effort = Results.

Your first step is to write down what
Exactly it is you desire.  
Albeit wealth, personal development or
Whatever you so strongly yearn for that
You simply can no longer go
Without, write it down.  
Make your desires realistic.  
For example, if your desire is to lose 20 pounds, 
it is unrealistic to believe you can lose 20 pounds in 3 days.   
However, it is possible to lose 20 pounds in 3 months
With a proper plan of action.  
It is important to note that there should
Be a time frame with regards to your plan.  
These time frames are the milestones
To marking your achievements.

Now that you know what your specific desire is, 
List the ways in which you plan on achieving optimum results.  
How do I plan to lose these 20 pounds?  
What do I have to do each day in order to achieve my goal?  
What do I personally need to do to see this plan come to fruition?

Set up a schedule outlining each step
That needs to be taken daily to achieve weekly goals.  
Be specific.  
Create a daily "to do" list.  
At the end of the week, you will be able to
See how much you were able to accomplish.  
Congratulate yourself for each accomplishment. 

Make a commitment to yourself to "Work the Plan".  
Stay focused on the positive.  
List all the reasons why you will be able
To achieve your objective. 
Utilize the strengths you possess that
Will help you to complete your plan.

Know your weaknesses and make a
concerted effort to overcome them.  
Incorporate both your strengths and
Weakness into your plan of action.  
Know what you are capable of and
Know what your shortcomings are.  

Have your own personal reward system in place.  
Know what each reward will be for each
An accomplishment that you have fulfilled throughout your plan.  
With every desired result you achieve there
Should be a reward for having done so.  
An incentive plan customized to your wants.

Do not let yourself get disheartened.  
If you have a temporary lapse or deviation
From the plan acknowledge it and continue
To move forward with your plan.  
Keep the pedal to the metal or your nose
To the grindstone, just keep on taking action.  
Remember, this is not a race to the finish line.  
Your plan is your future.  
Take the time to nurture and understand it.

We've all heard the adage "Rome was not built in a day".  
Your success regarding your plan of action will not be
Achieved in one day either.  
Success is a process and the process
is something you have a long-term plan for.

"You and only you can determine if the reward
Is worth the price you are paying for it in an effort".
 

Get Motivated! It Pays!

With the countless negativities the world
brings about, how do we keep motivated?
Try on the tips I prepared from A to Z:

A - Achieve your dreams.
Avoid negative people, things, and places.
Eleanor Roosevelt once said, the future
belongs to those who believe
in the beauty of their dreams.

B - Believe in yourself,
and in what you can do.
Believing is the first step you
Can do to move your life
To the next level.

C - Consider things on every angle and aspect.
Motivation comes from determination.
To be able to understand life,
you should feel the sun from both sides.

D - Don't give up and don't give in.
Thomas Edison failed once, twice,
more than thrice before he came up
with his invention and perfected the
incandescent light bulb.
Make motivation as your steering wheel.

E - Enjoy.
Work as if you don't need money.
Dance as if nobody's watching.
Love as if you never cried.
Learn as if you'll live forever.
Motivation takes place when people are happy.

F - Family and Friends are life's
greatest treasures.
Don't loose sight of them.
Keep them close to you and
You will never be alone!
Good friends are hard to find.

G - Give more than what is enough.
Where do motivation and self-improvement
take place at work? At home? At school?
When you exert extra effort in doing things. 

H - Hang on to your dreams.
They may dangle in there
for a moment, but these little
stars will be your driving force. 

I - Ignore those who try to destroy you.
Don't let other people to get the best of you.
Stay out of toxic people the kind of friends
who hates to hear about your success.

J - Just be yourself! 
The key to success is to be yourself. 
And the key to failure is to try to please everyone.

K - keep trying no matter how hard life may seem. 
When a person is motivated, eventually he sees
a harsh life finally clearing out, paving the way to self-improvement.

L - Learn to love yourself. Now isn't that easy?

M - Make things happen. 
Motivation is when your dreams
are put into work clothes.
Don't sit aside and do nothing!
React! Move! Adapt! Do!
Don't wait for someone to
Do for you! 

N - Never lie, cheat or steal. 
Always play a fair game.
No one likes a liar, cheater or a thief!
Don't become one even people around
Try to "push" to that direction!

O - Open your eyes. 
People should learn the horse
Attitude and horse sense. 
They see things in 2 ways how
They want things to be, and how they should be. 

P - Practice makes perfect. 
Practice is about motivation. 
It lets us learn repertoire and ways
On how can we recover from our mistakes.

Q - Quitters never win. 
And winners never quit. 
So, choose your fate, are you
Going to be a quitter? Or a winner?

R - Ready yourself. 
Motivation is also about preparation. 
We must hear the little voice within
Us telling us to get started before others
Will get on their feet and try to push us around. 
Remember, it wasn't raining when Noah build the ark.

S - Stop procrastinating!
One of the biggest problem that
Everyone has in this life.
Build yourself a daily habit to
Make your day organized.
Habits are becoming to form
After 21 days and permanent
After 67 days! Make it happen!

T - Take control of your life. 
Discipline or self-control jives synonymously
With motivation. Both are key factors in self-improvement.

U - Understand others. 
If you know very well how to talk, 
you should also learn how to listen. 
Have an intense feeling to understand first, 
and to be understood the second.

V - Visualize it. 
Motivation without vision is
like a boat on a dry land.

W - Want it more than anything. 
Dreaming means believing. 
And to believe is something that is
Rooted out from the roots of
Motivation and self-improvement.

X - X Factor is what will make you different from the others. 
When you are motivated, you tend to put on "extras" 
on your life like extra time for family, 
extra help at work, extra care for friends, and so on.

Y - You are unique. 
No one in this world looks, acts or talks like you. 
Value your life and existence, because you're just going to spend it once.

Z - Zero in on your dreams and go for it!!!

 

Break Through Self-Doubt and Fear

Self-doubt and fear interfere with
Our ability to achieve or set goals. 
Self-doubt and fear are the voices
in our head telling us, 
"You'll never succeed, so why try?" 
and "who do you think you are?" 
Self-doubt and fear are also what
Make us listen to those voices and
Decide to give up before we get started. 
 
While many people experience self-doubt
and fear at some point in their lives, 
they take action anyway. 
Others remain stuck or are confident
In only one area of their life, such as work. 
They are too afraid to try new things like
Going back to school, entering new
Relationships or learning new skills. 
 
When we let self-doubt and fear rule our lives, 
we miss opportunities. 
We predict and believe that nothing good
Will happen to us, so we don't try anything new, 
and refuse to take even low-level risks. 
This leads us to discount people or situations
That could help us reach our goals. 
While self-doubt and fear can come in
Different forms and from different sources, 
we can learn to break through them. 
 
The vicious cycle of self-doubt and fear
I know what it's like to live
With self-doubt and fear. 
For years my life was ruled by these feelings. 
I grew up in a lower income family in the Tel Aviv, Israel. 
I heard over and over again that people
Like us could never really be successful. 
All my life I felt that
I will never be successful,
I felt that nothing will ever
Came out of me. I always
Had that feeling that nothing
Is going right in my life.
Everything was a struggle.
If it was work, girls, a decent
Income, social life and more.
I saw all my friends and
People around me doing
So well and being successful.
I can't even count the times
My bank account was on zero
Or I was in debt to the bank.
Life was not easy for me.
My mom had a saying: 
"our luck is stuck in an
Elefant ass in Africa and
He is running away from us!"
This is the notion I grew up
With over the years.
I have no luck, I will not
Be successful and I will have
To work crazy amount of
Hours just to survive. 

Making positive changes
I had to learn to change my
Attitude about myself. 
I read about and talked to
People who had broken
through their self-doubts and
Taken control of their lives. 
I got support from others
And consciously began turning
My destructive self-talk into constructive self-talk. 
I knew that if I took certain actions, 
my mind and emotions would follow. 
I let go of people who negatively
Influenced my life. 
I told myself that I was important, 
and began to plan and achieve my goals. 
I learned to have faith in my ability. 
My life began to improve. 
I no longer saw myself as a victim. 
I learned to let go of blame
And started taking small risks. 
I stopped comparing myself to other people
and began to open up to new
Opportunities. 
 
 
If you need help overcoming feelings of
self-doubt and fear, please read these
ten techniques and processes that have
helped me get to this place in my life.
 
1. Make a list of your fears. Only by admitting
That they exist can you seek Solutions. 
2. Write down how these fears affect your life. 
3. Become aware of the voices in your head
And write down those negative messages. 
4. Start building a support system of friends
And eliminate people from your life who foster feelings of negativity. 
5. Join a support group of people who have similar issues. 
6. Change each negative message to one that is affirming and constructive. 
7. Read books that help you feel better about yourself. 
8. Be aware of your past, and be willing to let go of it. 
9. List your goals and the actions you need to achieve them. 
10. Take one of those actions every day. 
Each time you do something that brings you closer
To achieving your goals you will feel better about yourself. 
 
When fears and self-doubts come back, 
and they still do, I break through them by
Using the tools and skills I've learned and now teach. 
They work!
 

Believing is the Absence of Doubt

You've heard the expression, 
"Just believe it and it will come." 
Well, technically, that is true, however, 
'believing' is not just thinking that you
Can have it; it is also feeling that it is possible. 
When we believe that we can "have it," 
that means we have no doubt in receiving it.
In the formula for Deliberate Attraction
There are a few sections:
Identify Desire
Raise the Vibration (feeling)
Allow it
The allowing of your desire can
come to you very quickly providing
you have no resistance to receiving it.

Resistance = Doubt
When you remove the 'doubt' that you
can have what you want, you are allowing
and that is how it can come to you.


Tools for allowing:
There are a number of tools, techniques
And strategies that can help you remove
The doubt (resistance). Here is one that I like best.


Ask yourself this question:
"Is there anyone on the planet doing
or having what you desire?"
For example, if your desire is to attract
your ideal client, or your ideal relationship, 
then you could ask yourself: "Is there anyone on the
planet who has attracted their ideal client?"
Yes, there are millions of people on
the planet who have attracted their ideal clients.
NOW THIS FEELS POSSIBLE!
And when it feels possible, you have removed doubt.
And when you remove the doubt, the universal
Law of Attraction can bring your desires to you.
When using the formula for Deliberate Attraction, 
spend most of your time "Allowing," as it determines
how quickly, or slowly, your desires will come to you.
