      "title": "Seven SEO Best Practices To Transform Your Business In 2022",
      "body": "Investing in search engine optimization (SEO) for your brand in 2022 is more than a necessity—it’s a priority. SEO increases your chances of ranking on the first page of search engine results and optimizes your website’s visibility. Investing in SEO makes it easier for your customers—current and potential—to find you online, providing long-term brand equity. \n\nWhat is SEO?\n\nGoogle calls SEO the process of making your website better for search engines. If you’re new to the world of SEO, you’ll find two main categories of SEO: on-page SEO and off-page SEO. \n\nOn-page SEO focuses on optimizing parts of your website you can control, such as:\n\n• Keyword strategy\n\n• Metadata\n\n• Quality content creation\n\n• Page speed optimization \n\nOff-page SEO concentrates on increasing your domain’s authority through efforts outside your website, such as:\n\n• Link building\n\n• Social media marketing\n\n• Email marketing\n\n• Paid search marketing\n\nBefore we get too carried away with the intricacies, let’s focus on the top seven SEO best practices that should be a part of your 2022 digital marketing strategy, no matter how big or small your budget.\n\n1. Write content for humans first.\n\nWriting accurate, quality content on a regular basis should remain an essential part of your digital marketing strategy. While you should optimize content for search engines with your target keywords and keyword phrases, you don’t want to make it look like you are trying too hard or keyword stuffing.\n\nIt’s equally important to ensure the content is easy to read, interesting and offers value to its readers. A lot of businesses write content without a target audience in mind. If you don’t already know everything there is to know about your target audience, find out. Use your research to discover your audience’s problems and address them in your content. \n\n2. Use multiple long-tail keyword phrases.\n\nSearch engines now understand relevant subtopics of a specific keyword, creating more competition for shorter-tail keywords. To supplement your foundational keyword strategy, use long-tail keyword phrases of three words or more to rank for relevant terms. Be sure to include these long-tail keyword phrases in your content, title tags, meta descriptions and URLs.\n\n3. Concentrate on featured snippets.\n\nFeatured snippets are short snippets of text that appear at the top of Google’s search results and answer the searcher’s query. One study shows featured snippets get approximately 8.6% of all clicks. If you optimize your content to appear in the featured snippet, expect a notable boost in your organic click-through rate. Optimize for long-tail keywords, use question words like “why,” “do” and “can,” and format your content in paragraphs, lists or tables for easy scanning. \n\n4. Pay attention to user experience.\n\nOptimizing your website for user experience is key to long-term success online. However, many abstract factors can influence user experience, including a user's feelings, motivations and values. In digital marketing, Google’s new algorithm update evaluates a user’s overall experience with a web page using various metrics, including their core web vitals.\n\nYou can improve your website’s user experience by examining page load speed, specifically optimizing images and videos, minimizing redirects and enabling browser caching and cookies. Other metrics to consider include interactivity, visual stability and HTTPS security. Take actions to improve these metrics and consider bounce rate, average time on page and click-through percentages. \n\n5. Focus on technical SEO.\n\nWhen your website has technical issues, it often results in a poor user experience. My team and I use a technical SEO checklist to review our client’s websites, focusing on:\n\n• Google’s core web vitals\n\n• Security\n\n• URL structures\n\n• Website architecture, including internal linking\n\nTechnical SEO lays a strong foundation for your website to better support your digital marketing efforts.\n\n6. Build up your backlinks.\n\nBacklinks are critical to building brand authority and should be the backbone of any SEO strategy. Many companies have embraced the importance of having a content strategy, but this means nothing if no one is linking to your content. When looking for link-building opportunities, seek high-authority websites to improve your ranking, credibility and traffic.\n\nGreat link-building options include mentions of your brand or website that remain unlinked or joining a thought leadership council. In addition to providing an opportunity to network with like-minded peers, joining a professional community can be part of a regular SEO campaign and link-building budget. Backlinks provide tremendous value, offering social proof, building awareness and positioning you as an expert in your space.\n\n7. Create an internal linking strategy.\n\nFocusing on your internal links helps search engines understand your website and each page’s meaning, hierarchy and authority. A good internal linking strategy includes where you link to a page, what anchor text you use and how often you link a page. These factors allow Google to understand each page’s priority when it’s crawling and indexing them. Internal linking can be crucial for large sites with a lot of content and a need to maximize their budget.\n\nIf you currently don’t have a team or agency dedicated to your website and digital marketing efforts, you’re likely missing out on hundreds of new customers. When working with a digital marketing company, you gain a team of website and SEO professionals who understand the nuances of a good SEO strategy in today’s digital world.",

      "body": "Interest in the Metaverse – which forms a bridge between the real and virtual worlds, is expected to grow at a rapid pace in the coming years. This is further supported by the fact that social media giant Facebook recently rebranded to Meta Platforms.\n\nIn this guide, we’ll discuss the best Metaverse crypto coins to buy in 2022. We’ll also show you how to buy your chosen Metaverse token with an SEC-regulated broker.\n\nBest Metaverse Crypto Coins to Buy in 2022\nA list of the best Metaverse crypto coins to invest in for 2022 can be found below.\n\nDecentraland – Overall Best Metaverse Crypto to Buy in 2022\nThe Sandbox – Next Best Metaverse Crypto Coin to Invest in\nAxie Infinity – Top Metaverse Crypto Coin for Play-to-Earn Gaming\nEnjin Coin – Cheap Metaverse Crypto Coin That Could be Undervalued\nEthereum – The De-Facto Home of the Best Metaverse Crypto Coins\nRender Token – Growing Project That Offers GPU Space for Metaverse Platforms\nSushiSwap – Decentralized Exchange Offering an NFT Marketplace via the Metaverse\nOntology – Scalable Blockchain Network Could be an Ideal Home for the Metaverse\nWilder World – Low-Cap Metaverse Crypto Coin to Watch in 2022\nIlluvium – Fantasy Battle Game Meets the Metaverse\nIf you’re interested in buying cryptocurrency, chances are you’ll also be looking at metaverse crypto. Read on to find out why we believe the projects listed above represent the 10 top Metaverse crypto coins.\n\nA Closer Look at the Best Metaverse Coins to Invest in\nBy investing in the Metaverse right now – you will be entering an innovative niche market that is still in its infancy. As such, you have the opportunity to purchase your chosen Metaverse token at a favorable price.\n\nIn the sections below, we take a much closer look at the 10 best Metaverse crypto coins to buy right now.\n\n1: Decentraland – Overall Best Metaverse Crypto Coin to Buy in 2022\nLaunched in 2018, the team at Decentraland was able to get a major head start in the Metaverse race. Put simply, this leading Metaverse project is built on top of the Ethereum blockchain and it offers users from all over the world a virtual gaming experience. Users can create and customize their characters, chat with other users, and explore the ever-growing Decentraland world.\n\nAnd, from a revenue perspective, Decentraland has its very own crypto coin – MANA. Crucially, all transactions that take place within the Decentraland game must be executed in MANA – which gives the token real utility. Some of the most lucrative transactions conducted center on virtual land and real estate purchases – which often sell for over a million dollars.\n\n\n![Screenshot-2022-03-02-at-08.10.15-900x570.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmbvzJ4Rgn9g2LS3tQvtPLgN3Leibxnbq8xkQx4Dte2txJ/Screenshot-2022-03-02-at-08.10.15-900x570.png)\n\n\nUsers can also buy and sell in-game items to enhance the Decentraland experience. In terms of market performance,  Decentraland was priced at just $0.025 when it first hit public exchanges in 2018. Fast forward to November 2021 and the same Metaverse crypto coin hit all-time highs of $5.90.\n\nThis represents gains of over 24,000%. With that said, Decentraland – much like the rest of the cryptocurrency trading scene, has since gone through a market correction. As of writing, you can pick up MANA tokens at a major discount – with the coin trading at below $3.\n\nCryptoassets are a highly volatile unregulated investment product. \n\n2: The Sandbox – Next Best Metaverse Crypto Coin to Invest in\nIn direct competition with Decentraland is the Sandbox, which is also one of the best Metaverse crypto coins to invest in for 2022. This project was launched even earlier than Decentraland, with the Sandbox releasing its first game back in 2012. However, since then, the Sandbox has broadened its business model to focus on the Metaverse.\n\nBuilt on top of the Ethereum blockchain, the Sandbox allows users to build, earn, and trade in-game items. Much like Decentraland, this includes the ability to buy virtual land and build real estate. Then, this real estate can subsequently be sold on the open market. Just like Decentraland, the Sandbox has its own native digital currency – SAND.\n\n\n![Screenshot-2022-03-03-at-07.27.53-900x614.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmdRNKBjZfk9fkRbKxqJ8THHk5BeaBxjxe6t8SPJokA6oM/Screenshot-2022-03-03-at-07.27.53-900x614.png)\n\nAccording to CoinMarketCap, SAND was first listed on public exchanges in mid-2020 at an initial price of $0.051 per token. And, once again just like Decentraland, SAND hit an all-time high in November 2021, breaching a remarkable $8.44. This means that in just one year of trading, the Sandbox increased its token value by over 16,000%.\n\nTake note, if you’re not sure if Decentraland or the Sandbox is right for your portfolio, SEC-regulated broker eToro gives you access to both Metaverse crypto coins from just $10 upwards.\n\nIf you’re looking to buy Sandbox crypto, read our full guide for everything you need to know.\n\nCryptoassets are a highly volatile unregulated investment product.\n\n3: Axie Infinity – Top Metaverse Crypto Coin for Play-to-Earn Gaming\nLaunched as recently as 2020, Axie Infinity is one of the best Metaverse crypto coins for play-to-earn gaming. For those unaware of this concept, play-to-earn games give users the opportunity to generate rewards when certain tasks are completed – such as reaching a specific level. And, this incentivizes users to engage with the broader Axie Infinity ecosystem.\n\nCrucially, the end-to-end objective for players is to collect, raise, and breed digital animals. Once minted, this can be represented in the form of a unique NFT, which in turn, can be sold on the open marketplace. Just like Decentraland and the Sandbox, Axie Infinity is built on top of the Ethereum blockchain.\n\n\n![Screenshot-2022-03-03-at-07.44.50-900x553.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmNxHDRZPXZM3Gr3PjFT3JHp9t8pDz5cubdD9noRtEU9zz/Screenshot-2022-03-03-at-07.44.50-900x553.png)\n\nFast forward to late 2021 and the Enjin Coin hit all-time highs of $4.85. This translates into end-to-end growth of over 28,000%. However, moving into 2022, Enjin Coin has since hit lows of just $1.17. This means that in comparison to its prior all-time high, this to-rated Metaverse crypto coin is trading at a major discount.\n\nCryptoassets are a highly volatile unregulated investment product.\n\n5: Ethereum – The De-Facto Home of the Best Metaverse Crypto Coins \nThe four top-rated Metaverse projects analyzed above – namely Decentraland, the Sandbox, Axie Infinity, and Enjin Coin have one thing in common – they are all built on top of the Ethereum blockchain. In fact, this seems to be the case with virtually all of the Metaverse projects that we came across – so it goes without saying that Ethereum should also be considered if you wish to invest in the broader industry.\n\nThis is because Ethereum is the world’s leading smart contract blockchain – which is a crucial piece of technology that allows virtual Metaverse worlds to function in a decentralized and secure manner. And, when you consider that Ethereum is due to upgrade to a proof-of-stake consensus mechanism this year – this will open the doors to even more Metaverse projects.\n\nEthereum price prediction \nEthereum price prediction \nAfter all, Ethereum 2.0, as the upgrade is branded, will increase transaction speed and scalability by a significant amount, while reducing fees to near-zero. And don’t forget – when Metaverse projects build their ecosystem on top of the Ethereum blockchain, fees are paid in ETH. As such, Ethereum is one of the best Metaverse coins to invest in today.\n\nRead our How to Buy Ethereum guide for a detailed breakdown on all the key metrics.\n\nCryptoassets are a highly volatile unregulated investment product.\n\n6: Render Token – Growing Project That Offers GPU Space for Metaverse Platforms \nMake no mistake about it – Metaverse platforms require a significant amount of GPU space. After all, some of the leading Metaverse gamers process a huge number of transactions each and every second – all of which increases the amount of throughput the underlying blockchain needs to process.\n\nAnd, in turn, this results in ever-growing transaction fees and slowly processing times. This is where Render Token steps in – as the project offers a distributed GPU rendering network that can be used by all Metaverse projects. The token was launched in 2020 at a price of just $0.05. Since then, Render Token has reached highs of $8.76.\n\n7: SushiSwap – Decentralized Exchange Offering an NFT Marketplace via the Metaverse  \nThe next Metaverse project to consider is SushiSwap. Primarily, SushiSwap is home to a popular decentralized exchange that allows users to buy and sell digital currencies without requiring a centralized third party. This popularity has since resulted in SushiSwap surpassing a market capitalization of $500 million as of early 2022.\n\nWith that said, SushiSwap has since expanded its business model by creating an NFT marketplace in conjunction with the Metaverse. Not only will this immerse the NFT trading experience, but by offering its marketplace via the SushiSwap network, buyers and sellers will be able to transact in a decentralized manner.\n\n8: Ontology – Scalable Blockchain Network Could be an Ideal Home for the Metaverse  \nLaunched in 2017, Ontology is a China-based blockchain project that has its own proprietary network. The team at Ontology claim that its blockchain is capable of facilitating 4,000 transactions per second, and up to 12,000 in certain test environments. Moreover, transaction fees amount to just 0.05 ONG.  As of writing, this amounts to just $0.02 per transaction.\n\nTaking all of these points into account, some market commentators argue that Ontology could be the best blockchain network to host Metaverse projects. In terms of its token performance, Ontology has gone through a major market correction over the prior 12 months, going from highs of $2.94 to lows of just $0.40. However, this does mean that you invest at a huge discount.\n\n9: Wilder World – Low-Cap Metaverse Crypto Coin to Watch in 2022  \nIf you’re in the market for a low-cap gem that specializes in the Metaverse, look no further than Wilder World. The project – which describes itself as a “5D Metaverse built on Ethereum”, allows users to buy and build a variety of customized in-game items. This includes everything from land, condos, statues, and more. All of which will be represented by tradable NFTs.\n\nAs of writing, this top-rated Metaverse crypto coin is carrying a market capitalization of less than $150 million. This is just a fraction of projects like Decentraland and the Sandbox carry, so Wilder World could be one of the best Metaverse crypto coins to buy for upside potential.\n\n10: Illuvium – Fantasy Battle Game Meets the Metaverse   \nFounded in 2020, the final project from our list of the best Metaverse crypto coins is Illuvium. In a nutshell, the team at Illuvium has built an open-world gaming platform that is based on an RPG (role-playing game) model. In a fully-immersive nature, players are tasked with hunting creatures – which are aptly referred to as Illuvials.\n\nIlluvium first launched its native ILV token in early 2021 – which initially hit public exchanges at just $68. Just seven months later, the ILV token hit highs of over $2,800 – which translates into growth of over 4,000%. Since then, Illuvium has dropped to lows of $600-ish, so an attractive entry price is on the table.\n\nWhat is the Best Crypto to Buy in 2022?    \nAlthough you might be looking to invest in the future of the Metaverse, you should tread with caution. The reason for this is that many market commentators argue that this innovative industry is likely to be dominated by one player – Meta Platforms. As we mentioned earlier, Meta Platforms is the new trading name for Facebook.\n\nAfter all, not only does Meta Platforms have significant cash reverses to inject into its Metaverse project – but billions of daily active users across its various social media platforms.\n\nWith this in mind, if you’re looking for the best crypto to buy in 2022 – you might want to consider an alternative project – Lucky Block. In a nutshell, Lucky Block – which was launched in early 2022, is building a global lottery ecosystem that will be accessible to players from all locations. This means that lottery games will no longer be confined to a nation-by-nation operation.\n\nLucky Block price prediction\n\nLucky Block price prediction\n\nAnd most importantly, as Lucky Block is built on top of the blockchain protocol, all of its games are generated by smart contracts, and thus – randomness and legitimacy are guaranteed beyond doubt. Moreover, in terms of price performance, Lucky Block is actually one of the best-performing digital currencies in 2022 to date.\n\nWhile the rest of the market has struggled since the turn of 2022 – including virtually all Metaverse coins, Lucky Block has seen gains of over 6,000% in less than two months of trading. Furthermore, as the Lucky Block token is still valued at less than $500 million in terms of market capitalization, the upside potential on this project could be huge.\n\nlucky-block-logo\nlucky-block-logo\n\nCryptocurrency markets are highly volatile and your investments are at risk.\n\nHow to Buy Lucky Block    \nIf you’ve looked into the technical and fundamental aspects of Lucky Block and wish to add this promising digital currency to your portfolio right now – follow the steps below.\n\nStep 1: Download Trust Wallet    \nFirst and foremost, we should note that because Lucky Block is an up-and-coming digital currency that was launched as recently as January 26th, it is currently accessible on the Pancakeswap exchange.\n\nThis popular trading platform supports Binance Smart Chain tokens like Lucky Block, albeit, you will need to first download a suitable crypto wallet in order to gain access.\n\nhow to buy lucky block crypto\n\nhow to buy lucky block crypto\n\nThe most user-friendly and secure option in this respect is Trust Wallet – which is backed by Binance and comes in the shape of an iOS and Android mobile crypto app.\n\nStep 2: Transfer BNB    \nAnother thing to note with Lucky Block is that it trades against the leading digital currency BNB. As such, you will need to deposit BNB into Trust Wallet from an external source – such as an exchange.\n\nAlternatively, to make the process even easier, you can actually buy BNB directly via the Trust Wallet app with a debit or credit card. Fees are reasonable and the KYC process is usually completed in less than two minutes.\n\nStep 3: Connect Trust Wallet to PancakeSwap Exchange    \nThe next step is to connect your Trust Wallet account to PancakeSwap. This will require you to click on ‘DApps’ and then you’ll need to scroll down and look for the PancakeSwap icon.\n\nOnce you click it, you will then need to confirm that you give PancakeSwap authorization.\n\nStep 4: Paste Lucky Block Contract Address    \nAs PancakeSwap supports thousands of tradable tokens, you will need to search for Lucky Block by pasting in the project’s contract address.\n\nYou can obtain this via the Lucky Block website or Telegram group.\n\nStep 5: Buy Lucky Block    \nNow you can create an order on Pancakeswap. First, you need to decide how many Lucky Block tokens you want to buy. If you want to exchange your entire BNB balance, enter the amount into the relevant box.\n\nIn doing so, this will then display the number of Lucky Block tokens that you will receive based on the current market price. Next, click on the ‘Swap’ button and confirm the exchange.\n\nhow to buy lucky block crypto\n\nhow to buy lucky block crypto\n\nCryptocurrency markets are highly volatile and your investments are at risk.\n\nWithin 1-2 minutes, you will find your newly purchased Lucky Block tokens deposited in Trust Wallet.\n\nNote: You might also need to paste the Lucky Block contract address into Trust Wallet so that you can view your tokens. You can do this by clicking on the ‘Add Custom Token’ button.\n\nWhat are Metaverse Crypto Coins?\nIn a nutshell, the Metaverse refers to an emerging technology that allows tangible real-world experiences to be accessed in the virtual world.\n\nThis could be something as simple as a 3D replication of your local town, whereby you can walk around and view your neighborhood virtually.\nSimilarly, the Metaverse might also consist of a virtual shopping mall that allows you to browse real-world goods and make a purchase – without ever leaving your home.\nEither way, it is important to note that the Metaverse is not exclusive to cryptocurrency and blockchain technology.\nOn the contrary, as noted earlier, large-cap companies like Facebook are also injecting billions of dollars into the Metaverse phenomenon.\nWith that said, there are a number of Metaverse crypto coins that we do like the look of – especially when you consider the current market decline – whereby lower entry prices are on offer.\n\nAt the forefront of this are the likes of Decentraland, the Sandbox, and Axie Infinity – all of which offer their own unique virtual gaming world that allows users to explore, chat, and buy digital land plots that can be sold in the open market.\n\nAnd, in order for Metaverse products and services to be bought and sold – the platform’s native crypto coin is required. By investing in the native crypto coin of your chosen Metaverse project, you stand to make financial gains if the value of the token increases.\n\nAre Metaverse Coins a Good Investment?\nIf you’re still not sure whether or not Metaverse crypto coins represent a good investment for your portfolio – this section is a must-read. Within it, we discuss some of the most important to consider before you risk any capital on your chosen Metaverse token.\n\nThe Metaverse is Open to All\nFirst and foremost, the overarching concept with the Metaverse is that virtual worlds will be accessible to all. That is to say, you can watch a movie in a New York cinema or go to a nightclub in Rio de Janeiro without needing to leave your home – regardless of where you live.\n\nAnd as such, there will be no jurisdictional restrictions for those wishing to engage with the Metaverse. In turn, this means that the global demand for Metaverse projects could be of significant size.\n\nVirtual Real Estate\nMetaverse platforms such as Decentraland and the Sandbox have created a new and innovative concept – whereby users can purchase virtual land and subsequently build real estate. Due to the virtual nature of the Metaverse, this can be customized to the ‘t’.\n\nMore importantly, we already have a proof-of-concept in place with Metaverse land and real estate projects, as hundreds of millions of dollars in sales were recorded in 2021 alone.\n\nFor example, in late 2021, an investor purchased 100 virtual islands via the Sandbox platform for a whopping $4.2 million. The investor then developed a villa on each island, with 90% selling out on the first day at $15,000 per property.\n\nCrucially, this means that you effectively have two ways to profit from the best Metaverse crypto coins.\nFirst, you might consider purchasing the native digital currency of the project – such as Decentraland’s MANA or the Sandbox’s SAND tokens.\nSecond, you might then consider buying some virtual real estate and building your own properties with the view of selling them on the open market.\nUltimately, the possibilities with Metaverse crypto projects are endless.\n\nMany Low-Cap Metaverse Crypto Coins With Attractive Upside \nAnother reason why you might consider adding the best Metaverse crypto coins to your portfolio is that this industry is still in its complete infancy. And in turn, the collective market valuation of digital currencies operating in this space is still relatively low.\n\nAccording to CoinMarketCap, there are currently just under 200 Metaverse crypto coins that you can buy. Of this Metaverse crypto coins list, less than 10 projects have a market capitalization of over $500 million.\n\nmetaverse crypto coin list\n\nmetaverse crypto coin list\n\nIn fact, the vast majority of Metaverse crypto coins carry a valuation of less than $100 million. From an investment perspective, this means that you can invest in a small-cap Metaverse with a small amount of money and if it takes off – the upside potential could be huge.\n\nDiversification is Easy\nAn additional benefit of investing in Metaverse crypto coins is that it is relatively easy to create a diversified portfolio. This is crucial, because it remains to be seen which Metaverse projects will dominate the space in the coming years.\n\nAnd as such, in using the regulated brokerage site eToro, you might consider adding a variety of different Metaverse coins to your portfolio – as the platform requires a minimum investment of just $10.\n\nKeep an Eye on Meta Platforms \nAs noted several times in this guide on the best Metaverse coins to buy, it is important to consider the risk-factor of Meta Platforms.\n\nThe social media giant has in the region of $50 billion in cash reserves alone, meaning that it has the required firepower to dominate the entire Metaverse ecosystem.\nPerhaps even more pertinent is the fact that Meta Platforms – across Facebook, WhatsApp, and Instagram, is home to billions of daily active users.\nThis means that it already has a consumer marketplace ready to go – so crypto-centric Metaverse projects might find it challenging to complete.\nWith that said, to cover all potentialities, you might consider adding some of the best Metaverse crypto coins to your portfolio – alongside an allocation of Meta Platforms stock.\n\nMetaverse Crypto Price\nIf you read through our analysis of the top 10 Metaverse coins for 2022, you might have noticed a common denominator. That is the likes of Decentraland, the Sandbox, Axie Infinity, and many of the other Metaverse coins we discuss all hit all-time highs in November 2021, before seeing the value of their token decline.\n\nPut simply, this is because the broader cryptocurrency market is cyclical. This means that when the broader markets are performing well – which is typically driven by Bitcoin, Metaverse coins have the potential to experience rapid upward pricing swings.\n\n\n\n\n\nOn the other hand, when the markets go through bearish periods, the exact opposite will happen and thus – even the best Metaverse crypto coins will lose value. This should once again be a reminder to you that generally speaking, cryptocurrencies prices are largely driven by hype and speculation.\n\nWhere to Buy Metaverse Crypto Coins\nIf you’re wondering where to buy the best Metaverse crypto coins today – this will depend on the status of your chosen project. For example, leading Metaverse coins with a large market capitalization are often hosted at some of the best crypto exchanges in the space.\n\nOn the other hand, if you’re after a new Metaverse crypto that was recently launched – you might need to use a decentralized exchange like Pancakeswap. Nevertheless, the overall best place to buy Metaverse coins in a safe, user-friendly, and low-cost way is at eToro.\n\nHere’s why:\n\neToro – Overall Best Place to Buy Metaverse Coins in 2022\netoro review\netoro review\n\nIf you’re interested in some of the best Metaverse coins that we have analyzed on this page – such as Decentraland, SushiSwap, Axie Infinity, Ethereum, or the Sandbox – eToro has you covered.

      "body": "At a recent leadership retreat, I was reminded that resolve is a key component to improving both personally and organizationally. Lasting change cannot occur without resolve. But when motivation wanes, how exactly can we encourage our employees (and ourselves) to be proactive and push forward with our goals?\n\nOur lives and workplaces are filled with distractions, and motivation can only propel us for so long before we start to lose steam. While personal resolve might keep us committed to staying on course, willpower and determination are what ultimately lead to accomplishing our goals.\n\nIf the winter blues is affecting workplace morale, here are five ways to encourage your team to push through and be proactive.\n\nHave a Clear Purpose\nKnowing what you want is the foundation of lasting change, but if your purpose is unclear to your team, they’ll quickly lose focus and steam. Be proactive by clearly laying out your company values, goals, and procedures. \n\nEven more importantly, emphasize your why. In other words, why, exactly, does the company do what it does, and why is it so important? Keep it simple and focus on your most important goal. That way, there’s no room for confusion and your team will have an easier time staying on track.\n\nBe Honest With Yourself\nBy setting unrealistic or unattainable goals, you’re setting your team up for failure and almost guaranteeing they’ll lose motivation early on. While there’s nothing wrong with dreaming big, you’ll find your team is more motivated to be proactive (and, as a result, is more successful) when those big dreams are broken into smaller, more realistic goals. \n\nBe honest with yourself when it comes to goal setting. What are your and your employees’ strengths, and how can you leverage them to address the change you seek? Once you have a set of honest, realistic goals, you can create a plan to achieve them.\n\nMake a Plan\nEven the most productive, hard-working people have off days, and there’s nothing wrong with admitting that to yourself. Likewise, it’s important that you understand that your employees will have those days, too.\n\nInstead of expecting 100% perfection, make a plan to get back on track. Encourage your team to take breaks when necessary and be proactive in the ways that they can — even when motivation is low. Sometimes, all it takes is a short coffee break or a walk around the block to regain inspiration.\n\nMake It Public\nMaking your intentions public is a great way to hold yourself accountable for your goals. Encourage your team to vocalize their professional goals, and hold consistent team meetings where you go over your intentions as a company. In both cases, it helps to lay out the steps you’re taking to realize those goals. \n\nMost importantly, foster a supportive, judgment-free environment where your employees feel comfortable sharing their obstacles and failures. A workplace where people know they can fail is one where they feel more comfortable taking risks and are less likely to lose motivation or become stagnant.\n\nMove Past Your Comfort Zone\nWe all have personal preferences and find comfort in our routines. Encourage your employees to be proactive by aiming outside of their comfort zones and approaching obstacles with different perspectives.\n\nBy creating a unified workplace where employees can bounce ideas off one another, you can prevent methods from becoming repetitive and nurture a revolving door of new ideas and approaches.\n\nResolve is the key ingredient in all personal and corporate change efforts. Wishing for your employees to be proactive is too passive to make a difference when motivation begins to wane. Instead, try fostering a workplace where employees feel comfortable making mistakes and taking risks to achieve their goals.",

      "title": "Nature Is Everything You Love #Nature",
      "body": "“Minimum Viable Planet” is a weeklyish commentary about climateish stuff, and how to keep it together in a world gone mad. This week, we find love in nature.\nFor my 40th birthday, I, without subtlety, hinted to my husband that what I most wanted was a marching band to parade down our street playing \n\n“Louie Louie. ” Thankfully, he ignored me and instead surprised me with a concert. My friends and family rehearsed in secret for weeks and put on the best show of my life in our backyard. My #HotMoms, fierce beauties each and every one, sang the hell out of my favorite songs. My tiny son, draped in a regal purple cape, pulled off a perfect Gogol Bordello cover. My daughter and her friends danced. My husband, who does not sing, sang. And everywhere I looked, I saw the gorgeous faces of the people I love most in the world grinning, dancing, or simply looking around in disbelief if they were newer to the mix and as yet unaware of how extra my fam gets about parties. I think of this day often, partly because it happened right before the pandemic, but mostly because it was one of the best moments of my life (birth of my children, wedding, and the day I discovered truffle chips notwithstanding). \nNature was part of this day. I remember the beautiful light and the lazy summer air. I remember lacy bits of sun dancing over my friends’ and sisters’ babies at the park picnic they had cheekily ferried me to whilst husband and co. set up. But to say that nature had any part in the day beyond being a most accommodating host would be wrong. The day was about the people and experiences I love best.\n\nI’ve been thinking about this in the wake of a much overdue review of the way we have climate campaigned for years, in particular using love of nature as the way to motivate people into action. I built a few of these campaigns and thought they made good sense at the time. But now I think we got a few things wrong.\n\nWe overplayed love of nature and conflated it with nature deficit disorder.\nI interviewed Richard Louv a decade ago and fell into profound agreement with his thoughts about the importance of nature and its healing effects. This is why I kick my children outside every day and go camping even as 27% of me loathes it. \n\nOf course, we need nature in our lives. And nature can act as a gateway to love of planet. And yet it’s not the mountain vista that motivates us to take climate action, but the people we climbed the mountain with, while throwing trail mix at each other, singing stupid songs. Our climate messaging mistake was to make nature the star of the communiqué instead of a valued member of the ensemble.\n\nIt was also both presumptuous and elitist to think everyone would fall in love with epic nature at first glance. Lots of people haven’t gotten to experience the great outdoors, through no fault of their own. And even if they were to do so, they might need a bit of time to nurture a love of dirt under their fingernails, nevermind using those dirty fingernails to advocate for climate action. \n\nAnd finally, dividing the worlds we inhabit into buckets is nonsensical. This Instagram post from Earthrise is both wrongheaded and unhelpful. Nothing about the normal milieu of our lives is unnatural. Nature is not a pedestal. As the kids like to say, we are nature. Moreover, as we pollute our planet, any distinction between these spaces is muddied. Pristine nature is awash in microplastic, and people live in houses full of greenery. There are no silos.\n\nIt’s easy to see how we got here. The visual salience of nature is overpowering. While home for the holidays, I’d walk to my fave childhood banyan tree with my kids and niece and nephews each day. I’d admire its new swings and branches and hiding spots, the sharp light only intermittently cutting through the density. Honestly, it’s a tree you can just lose yourself in for an hour or three. But is my fascination with the tree or with the tiny scenes playing out across its branches? I think it’s about the interplay—my strawberry-blond niece in her sage-green sandals, scampering after my daughter, a fearless monkey. My son, commanding his battalion of cousins. My sisters and brothers-in-law, drinking beers in the crabgrass of its shade while our geographically dispersed children reconnect in a mélange of languages. And yet, when I look at the picture in my mind, I always see the tree first.\n\nOf course, different strokes for different folks. My delightful friend Isaac (thanks, IK!) pointed me to entomologist Doug Tallamy’s breakdown of human affinities: “I have found that most people fall into one of three groups: They like plants, they like animals, or they like neither.” Bleak but fair. The key is to realize this while also gently reminding people that nature sustains everything. But also, if people like kittens, that is as valid a core motivation to be nurtured as love of forest.\n\nWe pluralized and abstracted instead of singularizing and humanizing.\nIt’s marketing truism that an appeal must target one thing you can do over many. Help this single orphan, not help these seven orphans. And yet, we\n\n“everythinged ” climate. The climate crisis is already a  “hyperobject, ” a concept too big to comprehend (as coined by eco-philosopher Timothy Morton, and explored fairly comprehensively in Amanda Hess’ good New York Times piece last week). To counter it with a call to action that asks people to summon love for everything seems both unbelievably intuitive and patently idiotic.\nIn 2013, my favorite professor, environmental psychologist Dan Dolderman, gave a TED Talk in which he said the climate crisis was about \n\n“everything you love. ” This phrase, which I fell in love with (meta much?) has hummed in my brain for nearly a decade. I wrote about it in my newsletter a few years ago, and I think everything I said, and that Dan preached, still holds up, with one absolutely key change—it’s not everything you love, it’s something you love. Everything you love is a vaseline-lensed montage of the greatest hits of your life that you can’t grab onto. It’s a hyperobject itself, too big to comprehend. Something you love is a moment, a conversation, a party, a game, an embrace you call up with a vivid clarity that sticks. It’s that singular love situated in, but not secondary to, “nature” that motivates the action we need to inspire climate care.\nHow to make this actionable?\n\nAsk people for just one thing they love.\n\nUse that to fuel their climate action.\n\nC’est tout.\n\nThis Week: Singular Thoughts\nWhat is that one moment, time, place, person, sandwich that you come back to when you think about all that is good in the world? Let me know.\n\nJesse, it was a garbage week for democracy here in Canada, and your email brought much-needed sunshine to my inbox. Thank you!\n\n“I’m a 15-year car-free and newbie vegan elder in Bellingham, WA, a still car-centric little town, and this is my dog and me on my wonderful pedal-when-I-want-to electric trike, my 80th birthday gift to myself.”\n\nPlus, your city’s doing some pretty cool climate work! Bellingham sets strong standards for climate- and health-friendly electric buildings!\n\nOther Stuff\nNo one is going to look back in 20 years and think our takes were too radical. A clarion shout of a piece from excellent Los Angeles Times journalist Sammy Roth. Wish I’d read that phrase 20 years ago!\n\nA brilliant take from one of my newsletter besties, Stacy Lee Kong at Friday Things:\n\n“Looks Like the Wellness-To-White-Supremacy Pipeline Is Alive and Well ” (interesting unto itself, but all the more so because the Venn overlap of wellness and climate is too big for comfort). “The NYT article on MMT is really bad ” (Noahpinion). I’m susceptible to the “no debt on a dead planet ” argument, so MMT has always been a little bit of a quiver for me. But Noah unpacks some of the frailties of the theory, and what I’ve long feared—that MMT is a meme in search of a model, and one that has no viable response to inflation. Which I knew but did not want to believe. (Doesn’t mean we still don’t need to open the climate-investment fire hose tho!)\nNo climate justice without voting rights. Grist goodness.\n\nMy husband explores the beautiful words, and tragic life, of Florida writer Zora Neale Hurston in this dazzling edition of Get Wit Quick. (Thank you, dear reader Vicki, for saying you read us both!)\n\nC’mon C’mon. If Don’t Look Up is a movie with the climate crisis at its core, C’mon C’mon is one with climate on its periphery. It’s not about climate, but you feel it in the Ira Glass-ish interviews with kids about the future they imagine. Melancholy, funny, slow in a good way, and so smart.\n\nThanks to Canary Media for interviewing me alongside the peppy watercolors of Nicole Kelner in today’s\n\n“Friday Social, ” a great new climate column from Mike Munsell.\nI know we’re not supposed to say “save the planet,” and still I always say “save the planet.” Jenny Price sent me her book Stop Saving the Planet: An Environmentalist Manifesto, and I humbly vow to excise this phrase henceforth. \n\nPeople Tumbling\nThe opening credits to Season 2 of Cheer. Slow and beautiful (the song, really). The whole show is such a heartbreaking portrait of America. (That said, I may be unduly enamored of it, as Season 1 got me through having my tonsils out at 40, which I do not recommend.)\n\nBonus beauty: “Sometimes I think all I’m ever doing is trying to convince myself I’m climbing in the trees.”\n\nThank you for reading! As always, let me know how to make this newsletter better.\n\nSupun devinda\[email protected]",

      "body": "After nearly three decades of treating individuals who’ve cheated on a loving partner, I can tell you with absolute certainty that infidelity is not always the result of a bad primary relationship. In fact, much of the time, the cheaters I work with tell me that they love their partner, find their partner attractive, value their relationship, and do not want to damage the life that they and their significant other have created together.\n\nYet they’re in my office because they cheated. They betrayed the person they love in the worst possible way and now their relationship is in turmoil. Their betrayed partner no longer trusts a single thing they say or do, and worse, anything they’ve said or done in the past. The entire relationship is in question. So the cheater sits in my office wondering why they did what they did, why they endangered the most important facet of their life.\n\nOf course, it’s not just cheaters who want an answer to this question. Betrayed partners also want to know why. Often, they’ve invested a great deal of time and energy into building the best possible version of “us,” and now that vision of life has been shattered. And with it, their self-esteem and ability to cope with life on life’s terms may also be shattered. Sometimes, they wonder what they did wrong, even though they had nothing to do with their partner’s decision to cheat.\n\nAdmittedly, sometimes people choose to cheat because they’re in a bad relationship and want out. Sometimes they feel stuck because of kids, finances, social mores, or whatever. So they sneak around to get their needs for connection, intimacy, and validation met by someone other than their spouse. But just as often, cheaters are in reasonably emotionally healthy relationships with people they love, care about, and have no desire to hurt.\n\nEight reasons people cheat on someone they love\nSo why? Why do people who love their primary partner still choose to engage in infidelity? Usually, they do so for one or more of the following reasons:\n\n+ Self-Exploration. For some, cheating is a way to explore repressed parts of the self. These cheaters don’t actually want to change the core of who they are; they just want to escape the constraints of that for a little while. They’re not looking for another person; they’re looking for hidden versions of themselves.\n\n+ Insecurity. Sometimes cheaters struggle with self-esteem. They don’t feel attractive, powerful, smart, young, or whatever. So they seek validation through cheating. They use that spark of interest to feel wanted, desired, and worthy.\n\n+ The Appeal of Transgression. These cheaters are like children stealing a cookie their mom says they can’t have. The forbidden nature of the cookie makes it extra-desirable. Infidelity is the same. Because cheaters are not supposed to cheat, cheating seems extra special and extra desirable.\n\n+ Unresolved Early-Life Trauma. Sometimes cheaters are reenacting or latently responding to unresolved childhood traumas—neglect, emotional abuse, physical abuse, sexual abuse, etc. Basically, their childhood wounds have created attachment deficits that manifest through infidelity.\n\n+ The Life Not Lived. Here, it’s the life that could have been, the lover that got away, or the lover that never was that drives the infidelity. The cheater is not unhappy with their current life, but they’re curious about what their life might have been if they chose a different path.\n\n+ Unrealistic Expectations. Some people cheat because they have unrealistic expectations about what their partner and primary relationship can (and should) provide. They may think their partner should meet every need and desire they have, which is an impossible standard. And if they don’t have close friends and family who can step into the occasional void, they might chase an affair partner.\n\n+ Wanting to Feel Intense Emotions. When primary relationships settle into the comfort zone of long-term love, cheaters may want to feel the intensity of a newly formed relationship (even though there is absolutely nothing wrong in the current relationship).\n\n+ Inherent Selfishness/Entitlement. Some cheaters, despite loving their partner and enjoying their relationship, feel they deserve more. Rather than seeing their vow of fidelity as a sacrifice made to and for their relationship, they view it as something to be worked around.\n\nWhatever the reason(s) for cheating, intimate betrayal does not automatically signify the end of a relationship. This is especially true when relationships were relatively strong, other than the cheating and its emotional impact. Many couples find that their relationship ends up better than it was before the cheating was discovered. In fact, this is somewhat likely if the couple chooses to work through the betrayal, establish better boundaries, rebuild trust (through rigorous honesty), and open the lines of emotionally intimate communication.",

Forgiveness is not about being a doormat\n\nForgiveness can be seen as weak or letting people who’ve hurt you off the hook. Lucy Winkett works as a minister in the heart of London’s Picadillly - she says forgiveness is not about being nice or acting like a doormat.\n\n‘Forgiveness in the Christian tradition is more of a process than an event and it’s rooted in the hard work of facing the past…When I embark on a process of trying to forgive you or forgive myself, I’m taking a deep breath and turning my face towards the past that I know I can’t change. It’s not weak, it’s strong.’\n\n\n2. Forgiveness oils the wheels of your friendships\nThe writer Martin Wroe says ‘forgiveness is as mysterious as love or compassion - it won’t be forced and it isn’t compulsory’, but it can be something to think about applying to friendships where the hinges have got a bit rusty, a bit like oil, Martin says ‘it might stop the doors from falling off altogether’. He goes on to quote the poet David White ‘All friendships are based on a continuous mutual forgiveness.'",

      "body": "Does Russian invasion on Ukraine means that WW3 is at our doorstep? Let's just imagine a scenario where there is a possibility. After all, if you looked at the world 10 years before WWI it would have been pretty difficult to imagine a WW2 was about to erupt. Everybody on both sides thought the war would be over in a matter of weeks (with their respective side winning obviously.) So let’s say Russia’s economy continues to stagnate, and as a result Putin’s rhetoric becomes more and more antagonistic towards the West which finds also finds itself in an increasingly isolated from the rest of the world and riven with internal strife. Europe is basically in shambles due to a number of factors including the dissolution of the Euro, a result of an exit by Greece & Spain, the economic collapse of Germany, the Exit of Britain from the Eurozone under the Torries, and the dissolution of the Shengen Agreement due to a number of extremely brutal terror attacks throughout the regions.  \n\nAs this happens, Russia, America and Europe get further mired in conflicts in Ukraine and Syria. America is further distracted by a number of major crises both at home and abroad. The Kurds declare independence in Iraq plunging that country into a 3 way civil war. Two of America’s main regional allies also fail to come to her aid as an increasingly emboldened Iran spreads chaos throughout the region in an attempt to increase its own standing. Saudi Arabia finds itself in a Syria like situation due to permanently depressed oil prices undermining the royal family’s ability to buy the loyalty of either the population or the religious Mullah’s. The House of Saud finds itself increasingly embattled a protestors both moderate and fanatic take and clash over large swathes of the country. America’s other major Muslim ally in the region Turkey also finds itself both at odds with America and in a quasi-civil war as it attempts to prevent a unified Kurdistan from forming from the remnants of Iraq, Syria, and its own Kurdish population. Iran vocally supports the Kurds, while America, while technically remaining neutral, ends up providing intelligence and some military support due to its close relations with the Kurds in Iraq and Syria. Israel, with problems of its own in Palestine, remains neutral as the world around it burns. \n\nSimultaneously, America’s relationship with China begins to deteriorate for a number of reasons. First, as its economy shrinks even further and faster than anyone expected, it has become increasingly oppressive towards its own population and increasingly aggressive abroad. On the American side, US’s  has further inflamed the situation by slapping a number of tariffs on Chinese imports and jingoistic rhetoric from his administration. \n\nHere, the stage has been set for worldwide conflagration. One last match needs to be lit. Due to so many crises erupting around the world, North Korea no longer gets the food aid it needs to survive. Kim Jung Un and his regime look for more and more hardline ways to get world attention in order to obtain the food it needs to survive. Suddenly, a nuke goes off just outside of Seoul killing millions. South Korea invades. China, unwilling and unable to allow America/South Korea on its boarder, invades North Korea. Taiwan and Hong Kong declare independence and ally together. In order to fulfill its treaty obligations towards South Korea and Taiwan, America declares war on China. \n\nPutin, understanding the weakness of the West, fully annexes all of Eastern & Southern Ukraine, parts of Georgia, and begins to involve itself in other ex-soviet Republics with large Russian populations such as Latvia and Lithuania, who happen to be NATO members. Europe, having basically reduced their military budgets to nothing, are unable to respond, and the US, tied up in Asia and the Middle East is reluctant to open up yet another front…. \n\nHere, an interesting question arises... who will be the axis and allies if a world war 3 erupts over the Ukraine issue. Here are two assumptions I would like to make in answering this question: \n\nOne, nobody wants WW3. That’s it, it’s never going to happen, end of the story. Okay, jokes aside, we will assume the worst possible solutions passed out by the most aggressive and insane leaders of these countries. \n\nTwo, WW3 must start from one country declaring way against another. It can’t be one country declaring war against…. the rest of the world; that would make no sense. \n\nRight, so here are the most likely candidates: \n\nUSA and Russia. \n\n Background: The classic match-up. We all know much about this. Both have massive stockpiles of nuclear weapons and both have been watching their back for each other for a long time. Strangely enough, both are wealth-driven capitalistic countries with democratic governments (though Putin simply abuses the constitution to stay in power), and their major ideals about politics and human rights are similar. The only thing keeping them at each other’s throat is the desire to prove they are the Earth’s ultimate power. Currently, both are involved in many conflicts in the Middle East as well as the Ukraine Crisis. \n\nWho will be involved: A war between Russia and the USA alone is massive enough. Eastern European countries, fearing annexation by Russia, would side with the USA, as would NATO. \n\nWhy they would go at each other: If Russia attempts to invade Ukraine and fully annex it, the USA might have to intervene. However, this should not be enough to trigger a full-scale WW3. My prediction would be like this, Russia claims Ukraine and the USA does nothing about it; then Russia invades Poland like it is 1949, the US and NATO responds. And war ensues. \n\nFirst of all. Nearly all of Europe is involved because they simply want to crush any sort of Russian aggression which would be incited because of WW3. Putin would take this chance to try seize some sort of land in Europe to gain a bigger influence in the continent and therefore lead to Europe having to fight back. Switzerland being on the side of the Allies but with the main aggressor being on the other side of Europe, I thought it might involve itself a little just for the survival of Europe. \n\nThe Middle East is a tricky place. Even if the majority of them dislike the United States, they would fight alongside them to prevent nations like Iran from growing and competing with Saudi Arabia in their Shia-Sunni struggle. I would never bet against Iran and Saudi Arabia fighting together. Turkey, as a NATO member, would join NATO in combating any Iranian or Russian aggression in the Middle East. They would be guarding the southern gateway to Europe via the Balkans, therefore it might be a very busy location if the Russians planned an invasion from the south. If the opponent had been the United States, Iran would have easily joined the Axis. They see it as a chance to cripple the Titan known as America with Syria, Iraq, Jordan and Lebanon following its path to try get America out of The Middle East. \n\nCentral Asia is where I think most things will happen just because of the huge armies that would face each other. \n\nThe main 2 combatants would be China and India which will lead to ALOT of deaths but complicated fights because of the terrain surrounding their borders. \n\nNepal being a small nation would be expected to be neutral but because of their involvement in the British army and close relations to India would be forced to fight. \n\nPakistan, being a very pro-China nation, will join the side of China to fend off India and maybe once and for all settle the argument for who owns the Kashmir province. If they win. \n\nJapan, South Korea, Philippines and Taiwan would be fighting on China’s coastal and land borders to provide some sort of offensive near the capital. This obviously results in the fight to gain control of the South China Sea which then brings in Malaysia which I put in the Allied side because i would think they want control or international access to the SCS (South China Sea). Myanmar is also on the allied side but with Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam being on the side of China and Russia. \n\nAfrica just involves a few Arabic nations with Nigeria, Ethiopia and South Africa joining the Allies because of their close ties with the UK. \n\nThe Americas is a dominant continent for the Allies with only 3 nations fighting against them: Cuba, Venezuela and Haiti. \n\nTo be completely honest, I don’t know what I was doing when I picked them. Cuba only because of their bad history with America and Venezuela because they’d take any chance to get rich and they see this one as a chance. \n\nOUTCOME————————————————————————————————- \n\nIn my opinion, I think the 2 alliances are quite equal with most continents being dominated by 1 side only a little bit more than the other. \n\nThe Americas are completely secured unless Russia or China send forces to Cuba and Venezuela to form some sort of Guerrilla to fend off any invasion forces to Cuba. Cuba would act as a useful port for any local operation but would most likely be cut off from any sort of trade in a naval blockade and forced into surrender. (If they did it the non aggressive way) \n\n Europe is could be a bit of a hassle. Russia has a powerful and expendable army but its how long they can hold their grounds for. I think Russia will have a very strong start with its invasion of the Baltics and Ukraine but maybe slow down around Germany where the Allied armies would get their shit together and finally the counter-offensive for the Allies would begin. \n\nThe Middle East is a an absolute “HORROR” Where I could probably see 20+ anti-government or terrorist groups popping out of the dirt which would lead to even more complications. Its not a stable place but could land in the hands of Russia and Iran depending on how the Turks hold against the Russians in the Caucasus. \n\nSE Asia is mainly a fight with Pakistan, China vs Japan, India, South Korea, America, Malaysia and the Philippines. But both sides have ALOT of manpower with China being the absolute Titan with its 600 million being fit for service. It will pretty much be the “Eastern Front” of WW3 with both sides losing hundreds of thousands trying to gain inches of land. \n\nDECISIVE BATTLES——————————————————————————— \n\nThis is where I “think” most of the fights will occur. In my opinion being decisive battles which could turn the direction of the war: \n\n 1. The North Sea - The North sea is where I think Russia will try to gain control of to gain area closer to the economic cities of the UK, France and Germany. If the Russians won in this area it would open up an area viable for strategical bombing runs. If they lost it could cause heavy damage to their navy and/or airforce. \n\nThe Baltics and Finland - Lets hope Finland still has a bit of that “Winter War” rage inside them. These 2 areas will most likely be the first to see contact of any sorts if not then the Middle East. The Baltic Sea is also home to the Russian Navy and the city of St. Petersburg. Winning for the Russians means another chance at the North Sea and coastal access to Poland which could be useful. \nThe Black Sea and Ukraine - The black sea at the moment is dominated by the Russians but with the help needed could be turned around. Its where their ships go through the straits of Istanbul to international waters. The only problem for Russia being they cant go through there if the enemy controls it! If turkey lost naval control of the strait through Istanbul it would allow Russia to send ships into the Med.Sea allowing for bigger operations. \nThe Middle East - This ones quite obvious. The Middle East is one of the main routes from Asia to Europe and if the Axis were to win it would allow for an open offensive on European mainland. If Allies were to win it would allow for more reinforcements to be pushed into Asia and help with Indian efforts. \nSouth China Sea - This one is in my opinion the most important and probably a big turning point for which ever side wins. Its where most of the worlds trade goes through and if any side were to own that area it would give them control of the worlds trade. In the hand of the Axis it would prove deadly as it would also allow naval dominance to carry operations throughout SE Asia. But with Allied Dominance it would prove helpful in the offensive of Thailand and Vietnam to gain a southern front to China. \nVERDICT————————————————————————————————— \n\nIn our day and age WW3 is entirely possible. It most likely wont look like my interpretation does but it will involve the majority of the nations if it happened. - Yes the world powers are not close to starting a war over something but the countries that they puppet and send forces to will almost definitely lead them into war. If the Syrian Civil War doesn’t end soon for whatever reason, It will likely drive powers to fight each other. Regional powers like Iran, Turkey and Saudi Arabia send troops there to fight alongside allies or in Iran’s case: build military bases in Syria to gain closer presence to Israel which has only led to the 2 Countries exchanging missiles. Had any military personnel or civilians been killed in these strikes on the israeli side, it would of led to even more and if escalated further could lead to border conflicts. The powers of the world are playing dangerous games by getting involved with the affairs of others. At this point all it takes is a few soldiers dead at the least and something could happen. \n\nhttps://www.socialpilot.co?fp_ref=supun65\nhttps://bit.ly/3psCXka",

      "body": "Fears of a devastating global war have grown after Vladimir Putin put Russia’s nuclear forces on high alert this weekend.\n\nThe drastic moves comes as the Russian leader’s invasion of Ukraine has left hundreds injured or killed so far, with questions raised about exactly how far he is prepared to go to take the country.\n\nIt followed a chilling message from Putin last week when he announced the Ukraine attack, that anyone who tries to “hinder” Russia will see consequences “you have never seen in your history”.\n\nRussia has the largest stockpile of nuclear weapons in the world, but they are far from the only country with such deadly weapons at their command.\n\nCurrently, the total number of global nuclear weapons is believed to be around 13,000.\n\nThe heightened rhetoric during the Ukraine crisis has led many to fear what would happen if nuclear weapons were used in the event of a Third World War.\n\nFrom Russia to North Korea, we look at the countries with the biggest nuclear arsenals.\n\nPutin has moved his nuclear deterrent forces to high alert (Sputnik/AFP via Getty Images)\n\n1.Russia\n\nEstimates of exact numbers vary but it is widely agreed Russia has the largest nuclear arsenal in the world.\n\nAccording to the Stockholm Peace Institute, Putin had 6,255 nukes as of January 2021. Other organisations monitoring nuclear proliferation put the total between 5,977 and 6257.\n\nEither way, it’s a larger stockpile than the US and more than the next seven countries on the list combined.\n\nThe current figure includes 1,760 warheads believed to be waiting dismantlement.\n\nAlthough a concerning number, Russia’s nuclear armaments have fallen significantly, as the country inherited 35,000 weapons when the USSR collapsed in 1991.\n\nRussia and the US both signed the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START), which is an arms control treaty that has been effective since 5 February 2011.\n\nThe treaty limits the number of deployed strategic nuclear warheads and bombs to 1,550.\n\nRussia has never used its nuclear weapons in attack, but did test its first nuclear bomb in a remote area of Kazakhstan in 1949.\n\nStory continues\n\nA Russian Yars intercontinental ballistic missile launched during the exercise earlier this month (via REUTERS)\n\n2.United States\n\nThe US contains about 5,500 nuclear weapons, 1,800 of which are ‘deployed’ which means they are placed on missiles or on bases with operational forces.\n\nTo date the US is the only country to ever use an atomic bomb in war.\n\nOn 6 August 1945, a uranium bomb was detonated over Hiroshima, Japan, which killed an estimated 140,000 people.\n\nThey dropped a second bomb three days later on Nagasaki which killed a further 74,000 people.\n\n3.China\n\nAfter the US and Russia, the number of nuclear weapons per country drops off dramatically.\n\nChina is third on the list with 350, less than a tenth of the American total.\n\nThe country first developed nuclear weapons during the Cold War and is expected to continue expanding its nuclear arsenal, having added another 30 since 2020.\n\nLast November, a Pentagon report warned the Chinese nuclear force was expanding much faster than the US had predicted a year before.\n\nThe US fears Beijing could have more than 1,000 weapons by 2030.\n\nNuclear fallout at Hiroshima (EPA)\n\n4.France\n\nFrance’s supply of nuclear weapons comes in fourth with 290 arms, the largest number in western Europe.\n\nMost of those weapons are based on submarines, with the remainder on air-launched cruiser missiles.\n\nThe country first tested a nuclear strike capability in 1960.\n\nFrance claims it maintains a policy of “strict sufficiency,” keeping its nuclear arsenal at the ‘lowest level possible’, strategically.\n\n5.United Kingdom\n\nThe UK has approximately 225 nuclear weapons, and initiated its nuclear arms programme during the Second World War.\n\nArms are sea-based and carried by Trident submarine-launched ballistic missiles purchased from the US.\n\nTrident is operated by the Royal Navy and consists of four submarines, based at HMNB Clyde in Scotland.\n\nTo date the country has carried out 45 nuclear weapons tests, most recently in 1991.\n\nTrident is a US made submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) (Getty)\n\n6.Pakistan\n\nPakistan has 165 nuclear weapons, as of 2021, with plans to create more.\n\nThe country’s strained relationship with India heavily impacts its nuclear arms production rate.\n\nPakistan first began testing nuclear weapons in 1988, claiming national security reasons.\n\n7.India\n\nWith 156 nuclear weapons, India has long been in an arms race with Pakistan.\n\nHowever, recent taut relations with China complicates nuclear weapon production.\n\nSo, any move by India to modernise its nuclear weapons will be perceived as a threat by Pakistan, further inciting a nuclear arms race.\n\nNorth Korea has long paraded its military might\n\n8.Israel\n\nIsrael is believed to have 90 nuclear weapons, though it has never officially confirmed the existence of a nuclear programme.\n\nWhile it is believed to have held such arms since the 1960s the country has never demonstrated its nuclear capability with a test, unlike other countries on the list.\n\n9.North Korea\n\nNorth Korea is thought to have the smallest number of nuclear weapons on the list with 50, but it is a notoriously secretive nation.\n\nThe country agreed to a moratorium on nuclear and long-range missile testing in 2018 but resumed long-range missile tests in 2020\n\nUnder leader Kim Jong Un, North Korea has frequently tested missiles over the Sea of Japan, raising concerns of attack.\n\nKim has pledged to expand both his country’s military and its nuclear arsenal.\n\nIn 2017, North Korea carried out its largest nuclear test to date, with an estimated yield of 100-370 kilotons.\n\nBy comparison, the bomb dropped on Hiroshima was around 15 kilotons.\n\nhttps://www.socialpilot.co?fp_ref=supun65\nhttps://bit.ly/3psCXka",

      "body": "For many people, watching the Russian invasion of Ukraine has felt like a series of “He can’t be doing this” moments. Russia’s Vladimir Putin has launched the largest ground war in Europe since the Second World War. It is, quite literally, mind-boggling.\n\nThat’s why I reached out to Fiona Hill, one of America’s most clear-eyed Russia experts, someone who has studied Putin for decades, worked in both Republican and Democratic administrations and has a reputation for truth-telling, earned when she testified during impeachment hearings for her former boss, President Donald Trump.\n\nI wanted to know what she’s been thinking as she’s watched the extraordinary footage of Russian tanks rolling across international borders, what she thinks Putin has in mind and what insights she can offer into his motivations and objectives.\n\nHill spent many years studying history, and in our conversation, she repeatedly traced how long arcs and trends of European history are converging on Ukraine right now. We are already, she said, in the middle of a third World War, whether we’ve fully grasped it or not.\n\n“Sadly, we are treading back through old historical patterns that we said that we would never permit to happen again,” Hill told me.\n\nThose old historical patterns include Western businesses who fail to see how they help build a tyrant’s war chest, admirers enamored of an autocrat’s “strength” and politicians’ tendency to point fingers inward for political gain instead of working together for their nation’s security.\n\nBut at the same time, Hill says it’s not too late to turn Putin back, and it’s a job not just for the Ukrainians or for NATO — it’s a job that ordinary Westerners and companies can assist in important ways once they grasp what’s at stake.\n\n“Ukraine has become the front line in a struggle, not just between democracies and autocracies but in a struggle for maintaining a rules-based system in which the things that countries want are not taken by force,” Hill said. “Every country in the world should be paying close attention to this.”\n\nStory continues\n\nThere’s lots of danger ahead, she warned. Putin is increasingly operating emotionally and likely to use all the weapons at his disposal, including nuclear ones. It’s important not to have any illusions — but equally important not to lose hope.“Every time you think, ’No, he wouldn’t, would he?’ Well, yes, he would,” Hill said. “And he wants us to know that, of course. It’s not that we should be intimidated and scared…. We have to prepare for those contingencies and figure out what is it that we’re going to do to head them off.”\n\nThe following transcript has been edited for length and clarity.\n\nMaura Reynolds: You’ve been a Putin watcher for a long time, and you’ve written one of the best biographies of Putin. When you’ve been watching him over the past week, what have you been seeing that other people might be missing?\n\nFiona Hill: Putin is usually more cynical and calculated than he came across in his most recent speeches. There’s evident visceral emotion in things that he said in the past few weeks justifying the war in Ukraine. The pretext is completely flimsy and almost nonsensical for anybody who’s not in the echo chamber or the bubble of propaganda in Russia itself. I mean, demanding to the Ukrainian military that they essentially overthrow their own government or lay down their arms and surrender because they are being commanded by a bunch of drug-addled Nazi fascists? There’s just no sense to that. It beggars the imagination.\n\nPutin doesn’t even seem like he’s trying to make a convincing case. We saw the same thing in the Russian response at the United Nations. The justification has essentially been “what-about-ism”: ‘You guys have been invading Iraq, Afghanistan. Don’t tell me that I can’t do the same thing in Ukraine.”\n\nThis visceral emotion is unhealthy and extraordinarily dangerous because there are few checks and balances around Putin. He spotlighted this during the performance of the National Security Council meeting, where it became very clear that this was his decision. He was in a way taking full responsibility for war, and even the heads of his security and intelligence services looked like they’ve been thrown off guard by how fast things were moving.\n\nReynolds: So Putin is being driven by emotion right now, not by some kind of logical plan?\n\nHill: I think there’s been a logical, methodical plan that goes back a very long way, at least to 2007 when he put the world, and certainly Europe, on notice that Moscow would not accept the further expansion of NATO. And then within a year in 2008 NATO gave an open door to Georgia and Ukraine. It absolutely goes back to that juncture.\n\nBack then I was a national intelligence officer, and the National Intelligence Council was analyzing what Russia was likely to do in response to the NATO Open Door declaration. One of our assessments was that there was a real, genuine risk of some kind of preemptive Russian military action, not just confined to the annexation of Crimea, but some much larger action taken against Ukraine along with Georgia. And of course, four months after NATO’s Bucharest Summit, there was the invasion of Georgia. There wasn’t an invasion of Ukraine then because the Ukrainian government pulled back from seeking NATO membership. But we should have seriously addressed how we were going to deal with this potential outcome and our relations with Russia.\n\nReynolds: Do you think Putin’s current goal is reconstituting the Soviet Union, the Russian Empire, or something different?\n\nHill: It’s reestablishing Russian dominance of what Russia sees as the Russian “Imperium.” I’m saying this very specifically because the lands of the Soviet Union didn’t cover all of the territories that were once part of the Russian Empire. So that should give us pause.\n\nPutin has articulated an idea of there being a “Russky Mir” or a “Russian World.” The recent essay he published about Ukraine and Russia states the Ukrainian and Russian people are “one people,” a “yedinyi narod.” He’s saying Ukrainians and Russians are one and the same. This idea of a Russian World means re-gathering all the Russian-speakers in different places that belonged at some point to the Russian tsardom.\n\nI’ve kind of quipped about this but I also worry about it in all seriousness — that Putin’s been down in the archives of the Kremlin during Covid looking through old maps and treaties and all the different borders that Russia has had over the centuries. He’s said, repeatedly, that Russian and European borders have changed many times. And in his speeches, he’s gone after various former Russian and Soviet leaders, he’s gone after Lenin and he’s gone after the communists, because in his view they ruptured the Russian empire, they lost Russian lands in the revolution, and yes, Stalin brought some of them back into the fold again like the Baltic States and some of the lands of Ukraine that had been divided up during World War II, but they were lost again with the dissolution of the USSR. Putin’s view is that borders change, and so the borders of the old Russian imperium are still in play for Moscow to dominate now.\n\nReynolds: Dominance in what way?\n\nHill: It doesn’t mean that he’s going to annex all of them and make them part of the Russian Federation like they’ve done with Crimea. You can establish dominance by marginalizing regional countries, by making sure that their leaders are completely dependent on Moscow, either by Moscow practically appointing them through rigged elections or ensuring they are tethered to Russian economic and political and security networks. You can see this now across the former Soviet space.\n\nWe’ve seen pressure being put on Kazakhstan to reorient itself back toward Russia, instead of balancing between Russia and China, and the West. And just a couple of days before the invasion of Ukraine in a little-noticed act, Azerbaijan signed a bilateral military agreement with Russia. This is significant because Azerbaijan’s leader has been resisting this for decades. And we can also see that Russia has made itself the final arbiter of the future relationship between Armenia and Azerbaijan. Georgia has also been marginalized after being a thorn in Russia’s side for decades. And Belarus is now completely subjugated by Moscow.\n\nBut amid all this, Ukraine was the country that got away. And what Putin is saying now is that Ukraine doesn’t belong to Ukrainians. It belongs to him and the past. He is going to wipe Ukraine off the map, literally, because it doesn’t belong on his map of the “Russian world.” He’s basically told us that. He might leave behind some rump statelets. When we look at old maps of Europe — probably the maps he’s been looking at — you find all kinds of strange entities, like the Sanjak of Novi Pazar in the Balkans. I used to think, what the hell is that? These are all little places that have dependency on a bigger power and were created to prevent the formation of larger viable states in contested regions. Basically, if Vladimir Putin has his way, Ukraine is not going to exist as the modern-day Ukraine of the last 30 years.\n\nReynolds: How far into Ukraine do you think Putin is going to go?\n\nHill: At this juncture, if he can, he’s going to go all the way. Before this last week, he had multiple different options to choose from. He’d given himself the option of being able to go in in full force as he’s doing now, but he could also have focused on retaking the rest of the administrative territories of Donetsk and Luhansk. He could have seized the Sea of Azov, which he’s probably going to do anyway, and then joined up the Donetsk and Luhansk regions with Crimea as well as the lands in between and all the way down to Odessa. In fact, Putin initially tried this in 2014 — to create “Novorossiya,” or “New Russia,” but that failed when local support for joining Russia didn’t materialize.\n\nNow, if he can, he is going to take the whole country. We have to face up to this fact. Although we haven’t seen the full Russian invasion force deployed yet, he’s certainly got the troops to move into the whole country.\n\nReynolds: You say he has an adequate number of troops to move in, but does he have enough to occupy the whole country?\n\nHill: If there is serious resistance, he may not have sufficient force to take the country for a protracted period. It also may be that he doesn’t want to occupy the whole country, that he wants to break it up, maybe annex some parts of it, maybe leave some of it as rump statelets or a larger rump Ukraine somewhere, maybe around Lviv. I’m not saying that I know exactly what’s going on in his head. And he may even suggest other parts of Ukraine get absorbed by adjacent countries.\n\nIn 2015, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov was at the Munich Security Conference after the annexation of Crimea and the war in Donbas. And he talked about Ukraine not being a country, saying pointedly that there are many minority groups in Ukraine — there are Poles and there are Romanians, there are Hungarians and Russians. And he goes on essentially almost inviting the rest of Europe to divide Ukraine up.\n\nSo what Putin wants isn’t necessarily to occupy the whole country, but really to divide it up. He’s looked at Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and other places where there’s a division of the country between the officially sanctioned forces on the one hand, and the rebel forces on the other. That’s something that Putin could definitely live with — a fractured, shattered Ukraine with different bits being in different statuses.\n\nReynolds: So step by step, in ways that we haven’t always appreciated in the West, Putin has brought back a lot of these countries that were independent after the Soviet collapse back under his umbrella. The only country that has so far evaded Putin’s grip has been Ukraine.\n\nHill: Ukraine, correct. Because it’s bigger and because of its strategic location. That’s what Russia wants to ensure, or Putin wants to ensure, that Ukraine like the other countries, has no other option than subjugation to Russia.\n\nReynolds: How much of what we’re seeing now is tied to Putin’s own electoral schedule? He seized Crimea in 2014, and that helped to boost his ratings and ensure his future reelection. He’s got another election coming up in 2024. Is any of this tied to that?\n\nHill: I think it is. In 2020, Putin had the Russian Constitution amended so that he could stay on until 2036, another set of two six-year terms. He’s going to be 84 then. But in 2024, he has to re-legitimate himself by standing for election. The only real contender might have been Alexei Navalny, and they’ve put him in a penal colony. Putin has rolled up all the potential opposition and resistance, so one would think it would be a cakewalk for him in 2024. But the way it works with Russian elections, he actually has to put on a convincing show that demonstrates that he’s immensely popular and he’s got the affirmation of all the population.\n\nBehind the scenes it’s fairly clear that there’s a lot of apathy in the system, that many people support Putin because there’s no one else. People who don’t support him at all will probably not turn out to vote. The last time that his brand got stale, it was before the annexation of Crimea. That put him back on the top of the charts in terms of his ratings.\n\nIt may not just be the presidential calendar, the electoral calendar. He’s going to be 70 in October. And 70 you know, in the larger scheme of things, is not that old. There are plenty of politicians out there that are way over 70.\n\nReynolds: But it’s old for Russians.\n\nHill: It’s old for Russians. And Putin’s not looking so great, he’s been rather puffy-faced. We know that he has complained about having back issues. Even if it’s not something worse than that, it could be that he’s taking high doses of steroids, or there may be something else. There seems to be an urgency for this that may be also driven by personal factors.\n\nHe may have a sense that time is marching on — it’s 22 years, after all, and the likelihood after that kind of time of a Russian leader leaving voluntarily or through elections is pretty slim. Most leaders leave either like Belarusian president Alexander Lukashenko thought that he might leave, as the result of massive protests, or they die in office.\n\nThe only other person who has been Russian leader in modern times longer than Putin is Stalin, and Stalin died in office.\n\nReynolds: Putin came to power after a series of operations that many have seen as a kind of false flag — bombings of buildings around Russia that killed Russian citizens, hundreds of them, followed by a war in Chechnya. That led to Putin coming to power as a wartime president. The annexation of Crimea in 2014 also came at a difficult time for Putin. Now we’re seeing another big military operation less than two years before he needs to stand for election again. Am I wrong to see that pattern?\n\nHill: No, I don’t think you are. There’s definitely a pattern here. Part of Putin’s persona as president is that he is a ruthless tough guy, the strong man who is the champion and protector of Russia. And that’s why Russia needs him. If all was peaceful and quiet, why would you need Vladimir Putin? If you think of other wartime leaders — Winston Churchill comes to mind — in peacetime, Winston Churchill got voted out of office.\n\nReynolds: Speaking of Chechnya, I have been thinking that this is the largest ground military operation that Russia has fought since Chechnya. What did we learn about the Russian military then that’s relevant now?\n\nHill: It’s very important, that you bring this point up because people are saying Ukraine is the largest military operation in Europe since World War II. The first largest military action in Europe since World War II was actually in Chechnya, because Chechnya is part of Russia. This was a devastating conflict that dragged on for years, with two rounds of war after a brief truce, and tens of thousands of military and civilian casualties. The regional capital of Grozny was leveled. The casualties were predominantly ethnic Russians and Russian speakers. The Chechens fought back, and this became a military debacle on Russia’s own soil. Analysts called it “the nadir of the Russian army.” After NATO’s intervention in the Balkan wars in the same timeframe in the 1990s, Moscow even worried that NATO might intervene.\n\nReynolds: What have we learned about NATO in the last two months?\n\nHill: In many respects, not good things, initially. Although now we see a significant rallying of the political and diplomatic forces, serious consultations and a spur to action in response to bolster NATO’s military defenses.\n\nBut we also need to think about it this way. We have had a long-term policy failure going back to the end of the Cold War in terms of thinking about how to manage NATO’s relations with Russia to minimize risk. NATO is a like a massive insurer, a protector of national security for Europe and the United States. After the end of the Cold War, we still thought that we had the best insurance for the hazards we could face — flood, fire etc. — but for a discounted premium. We didn’t take adequate steps to address and reduce the various risks. We can now see that that we didn’t do our due diligence and fully consider all the possible contingencies, including how we would mitigate Russia’s negative response to successive expansions. Think about Swiss Re or AIG or Lloyds of London — when the hazard was massive, like during Hurricane Katrina or the global financial crisis in 2008, those insurance companies got into major trouble. They and their clients found themselves underwater. And this is kind of what NATO members are learning now.\n\nReynolds: And then there’s the nuclear element. Many people have thought that we’d never see a large ground war in Europe or a direct confrontation between NATO and Russia, because it could quickly escalate into a nuclear conflict. How close are we getting to that?\n\nHill: Well, we’re right there. Basically, what President Putin has said quite explicitly in recent days is that if anybody interferes in Ukraine, they will be met with a response that they’ve “never had in [their] history.” And he has put Russia’s nuclear forces on high alert. So he’s making it very clear that nuclear is on the table.\n\nPutin tried to warn Trump about this, but I don’t think Trump figured out what he was saying. In one of the last meetings between Putin and Trump when I was there, Putin was making the point that: “Well you know, Donald, we have these hypersonic missiles.” And Trump was saying, “Well, we will get them too.” Putin was saying, “Well, yes, you will get them eventually, but we’ve got them first.” There was a menace in this exchange. Putin was putting us on notice that if push came to shove in some confrontational environment that the nuclear option would be on the table.\n\nReynolds: Do you really think he’ll use a nuclear weapon?\n\nHill: The thing about Putin is, if he has an instrument, he wants to use it. Why have it if you can’t? He’s already used a nuclear weapon in some respects. Russian operatives poisoned Alexander Litvinenko with radioactive polonium and turned him into a human dirty bomb and polonium was spread all around London at every spot that poor man visited. He died a horrible death as a result.\n\nThe Russians have already used a weapons-grade nerve agent, Novichok. They’ve used it possibly several times, but for certain twice. Once in Salisbury, England, where it was rubbed all over the doorknob of Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia, who actually didn’t die; but the nerve agent contaminated the city of Salisbury, and anybody else who came into contact with it got sickened. Novichok killed a British citizen, Dawn Sturgess, because the assassins stored it in a perfume bottle which was discarded into a charity donation box where it was found by Sturgess and her partner. There was enough nerve agent in that bottle to kill several thousand people. The second time was in Alexander Navalny’s underpants.\n\nSo if anybody thinks that Putin wouldn’t use something that he’s got that is unusual and cruel, think again. Every time you think, “No, he wouldn’t, would he?” Well, yes, he would. And he wants us to know that, of course.\n\nIt’s not that we should be intimidated and scared. That’s exactly what he wants us to be. We have to prepare for those contingencies and figure out what is it that we’re going to do to head them off.\n\nReynolds: So how do we deal with it? Are sanctions enough?\n\nHill: Well, we can’t just deal with it as the United States on our own. First of all, this has to be an international response.\n\nReynolds: Larger than NATO?\n\nHill: It has to be larger than NATO. Now I’m not saying that that means an international military response that’s larger than NATO, but the push back has to be international.\n\nWe first have to think about what Vladimir Putin has done and the nature of what we’re facing. People don’t want to talk about Adolf Hitler and World War II, but I’m going to talk about it. Obviously the major element when you talk about World War II, which is overwhelming, is the Holocaust and the absolute decimation of the Jewish population of Europe, as well as the Roma-Sinti people.\n\nBut let’s focus here on the territorial expansionism of Germany, what Germany did under Hitler in that period: seizure of the Sudetenland and the Anschluss or annexation of Austria, all on the basis that they were German speakers. The invasion of Poland. The treaty with the Soviet Union, the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact, that also enabled the Soviet Union to take portions of Poland but then became a prelude to Operation Barbarossa, the German invasion of the Soviet Union. Invasions of France and all of the countries surrounding Germany, including Denmark and further afield to Norway. Germany eventually engaged in a burst of massive territorial expansion and occupation. Eventually the Soviet Union fought back. Vladimir Putin’s own family suffered during the siege of Leningrad, and yet here is Vladimir Putin doing exactly the same thing.\n\nReynolds: So, similar to Hitler, he’s using a sense of massive historical grievance combined with a veneer of protecting Russians and a dismissal of the rights of minorities and other nations to have independent countries in order to fuel territorial ambitions?\n\nHill: Correct. And he’s blaming others, for why this has happened, and getting us to blame ourselves.\n\nIf people look back to the history of World War II, there were an awful lot of people around Europe who became Nazi German sympathizers before the invasion of Poland. In the United Kingdom, there was a whole host of British politicians who admired Hitler’s strength and his power, for doing what Great Powers do, before the horrors of the Blitz and the Holocaust finally penetrated.\n\nReynolds: And you see this now.\n\nHill: You totally see it. Unfortunately, we have politicians and public figures in the United States and around Europe who have embraced the idea that Russia was wronged by NATO and that Putin is a strong, powerful man and has the right to do what he’s doing: Because Ukraine is somehow not worthy of independence, because it’s either Russia’s historical lands or Ukrainians are Russians, or the Ukrainian leaders are — this is what Putin says — “drug addled, fascist Nazis” or whatever labels he wants to apply here.\n\nSo sadly, we are treading back through old historical patterns that we said that we would never permit to happen again. The other thing to think about in this larger historic context is how much the German business community helped facilitate the rise of Hitler. Right now, everyone who has been doing business in Russia or buying Russian gas and oil has contributed to Putin’s war chest. Our investments are not just boosting business profits, or Russia’s sovereign wealth funds and its longer-term development. They now are literally the fuel for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.\n\nReynolds: I gather you think that sanctions leveled by the government are inadequate to address this much larger threat?\n\nHill: Absolutely. Sanctions are not going to be enough. You need to have a major international response, where governments decide on their own accord that they can’t do business with Russia for a period of time until this is resolved. We need a temporary suspension of business activity with Russia. Just as we wouldn’t be having a full-blown diplomatic negotiation for anything but a ceasefire and withdrawal while Ukraine is still being actively invaded, so it’s the same thing with business. Right now you’re fueling the invasion of Ukraine. So what we need is a suspension of business activity with Russia until Moscow ceases hostilities and withdraws its troops.\n\nReynolds: So ordinary companies…\n\nHill: Ordinary companies should make a decision. This is the epitome of “ESG” that companies are saying is their priority right now — upholding standards of good Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance. Just like people didn’t want their money invested in South Africa during apartheid, do you really want to have your money invested in Russia during Russia’s brutal invasion and subjugation and carving up of Ukraine?\n\nIf Western companies, their pension plans or mutual funds, are invested in Russia they should pull out. Any people who are sitting on the boards of major Russian companies should resign immediately. Not every Russian company is tied to the Kremlin, but many major Russian companies absolutely are, and everyone knows it. If we look back to Germany in the runup to the Second World War, it was the major German enterprises that were being used in support of the war. And we’re seeing exactly the same thing now. Russia would not be able to afford this war were it not for the fact that oil and gas prices are ratcheting up. They’ve got enough in the war chest for now. But over the longer term, this will not be sustainable without the investment that comes into Russia and all of the Russian commodities, not just oil and gas, that are being purchased on world markets. And, our international allies, like Saudi Arabia, should be increasing oil production right now as a temporary offset. Right now, they are also indirectly funding war in Ukraine by keeping oil prices high.\n\nThis has to be an international response to push Russia to stop its military action. India abstained in the United Nations, and you can see that other countries are feeling discomforted and hoping this might go away. This is not going to go away, and it could be “you next” — because Putin is setting a precedent for countries to return to the type of behavior that sparked the two great wars which were a free-for-all over territory. Putin is saying, “Throughout history borders have changed. Who cares?”\n\nReynolds: And you do not think he will necessarily stop at Ukraine?\n\nHill: Of course he won’t. Ukraine has become the front line in a struggle, not just for which countries can or cannot be in NATO, or between democracies and autocracies, but in a struggle for maintaining a rules-based system in which the things that countries want are not taken by force. Every country in the world should be paying close attention to this. Yes, there may be countries like China and others who might think that this is permissible, but overall, most countries have benefited from the current international system in terms of trade and economic growth, from investment and an interdependent globalized world. This is pretty much the end of this. That’s what Russia has done.\n\nReynolds: He’s blown up the rules-based international order.\n\nHill: Exactly. What stops a lot of people from pulling out of Russia even temporarily is, they will say, “Well, the Chinese will just step in.” This is what every investor always tells me. “If I get out, someone else will move in.” I’m not sure that Russian businesspeople want to wake up one morning and find out the only investors in the Russian economy are Chinese, because then Russia becomes the periphery of China, the Chinese hinterlands, and not another great power that’s operating in tandem with China.\n\nReynolds: The more we talk, the more we’re using World War II analogies. There are people who are saying we’re on the brink of a World War III.\n\nHill: We’re already in it. We have been for some time. We keep thinking of World War I, World War II as these huge great big set pieces, but World War II was a consequence of World War I. And we had an interwar period between them. And in a way, we had that again after the Cold War. Many of the things that we’re talking about here have their roots in the carving up of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Russian Empire at the end of World War I. At the end of World War II, we had another reconfiguration and some of the issues that we have been dealing with recently go back to that immediate post-war period. We’ve had war in Syria, which is in part the consequence of the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, same with Iraq and Kuwait.\n\nAll of the conflicts that we’re seeing have roots in those earlier conflicts. We are already in a hot war over Ukraine, which started in 2014. People shouldn’t delude themselves into thinking that we’re just on the brink of something. We’ve been well and truly in it for quite a long period of time.\n\nBut this is also a full-spectrum information war, and what happens in a Russian “all-of-society” war, you soften up the enemy. You get the Tucker Carlsons and Donald Trumps doing your job for you. The fact that Putin managed to persuade Trump that Ukraine belongs to Russia, and that Trump would be willing to give up Ukraine without any kind of fight, that’s a major success for Putin’s information war. I mean he has got swathes of the Republican Party — and not just them, some on the left, as well as on the right — masses of the U.S. public saying, “Good on you, Vladimir Putin,” or blaming NATO, or blaming the U.S. for this outcome. This is exactly what a Russian information war and psychological operation is geared towards. He’s been carefully seeding this terrain as well. We’ve been at war, for a very long time. I’ve been saying this for years.\n\nReynolds: So just as the world didn’t see Hitler coming, we failed to see Putin coming?\n\nHill: We shouldn’t have. He’s been around for 22 years now, and he has been coming to this point since 2008. I don’t think that he initially set off to do all of this, by the way, but the attitudes towards Ukraine and the feelings that all Ukraine belongs to Russia, the feelings of loss, they’ve all been there and building up.\n\nWhat Russia is doing is asserting that “might makes right.” Of course, yes, we’ve also made terrible mistakes. But no one ever has the right to completely destroy another country — Putin’s opened up a door in Europe that we thought we’d closed after World War II.\n\nhttps://www.socialpilot.co?fp_ref=supun65\nhttps://bit.ly/3psCXka",

      "body": "Three Ways To Grow Your Business By Being A Selfish Leader \n\n\"Being selfless can make it seem like the weight of everything, and every person’s wants, is on the ... [+] leader’s shoulders.\" Getty Entrepreneur Mike Malatesta likes to say: “Selfish comes before selfless, in the dictionary and in life.” He says most leaders don’t want to be called selfish. The word has a bad reputation. But if you want to attract high-paying clients, you might want to make a new decision about being selfish. “Since we’ve been little kids, we’ve been taught that being selfish is bad and being selfless is good,” says Malatesta. “In the business world, most of the accolades, the awards and the books are presented to, and written about, leaders who are held up as being selfless and a servant.” Indeed, some excellent books have been written about being a servant leader, from authors such as Ken Blanchard. Malatesta takes a contrarian view as the key to growing a high-performance organization, something he has done more than once. What Malatesta calls selfish, I call focus. Perhaps a better term is extreme focus. Author Bud Harris coined the term sacred selfishness, which I take to mean taking care of yourself so you can take care of others (like the warning the flight attendant gives that in case of emergency, put your mask on first and then help others). To help other entrepreneurs, Malatesta wrote the book Owner Shift. He started his first business in 1992, seven months after being fired from a company he had dreamed he might lead one day. Over the next two dozen years, he founded and sold two eight-figure waste management companies. In his book he talks about how getting selfish got him unstuck. “But there’s a dangerous trap to being selfless and a servant that doesn’t get talked or written about much,” says Malatesta. “If you don’t know about the trap, you will likely end up in what I call the valley of uncertainty. That’s the place where we end up stuck, wondering what we did wrong and wishing someone would tell us what to do to get out. It’s the place leaders end up when what they’ve been doing stops working or breaks them.” The creator of the How’d It Happen? podcast, Malatesta’s mission is to help as many entrepreneurs as he can to create companies that improve people's lives and, maybe, the world.  “The trap is that selflessness, putting everyone else first, can easily become a leadership crutch,” says Malatesta. Malatesta offers three tips to avoid this trap: Putting everyone first can be a way to put being liked above being effective. “It can create a hero syndrome,” says Malatesta. “That’s when all the company’s systems lead back to the ‘all knowing’ leader and makes them feel like the most valuable person in the organization. Ultimately, being selfless can make it seem like the weight of everything, and every person’s wants, is on the leader’s shoulders.” Taking the selfish track is the way to avoid the valley of uncertainty. Malatesta says, “The leader’s most important job is to create a vision of the future that the company wants to own and make its property. That’s job #1. Creating that takes selfish space, thinking, attention and time. It can’t be done by squeezing in time after everyone’s else’s needs are met because that time never comes.” A new world opens when a leader chooses to be selfish first. “They see things with a new perspective, through a lens that can often be capped by selflessness,” says Malatesta. “Being selfish challenges the leader to focus on the maximum impact and clarity that they can being to their organization. That’s the leader’s job. It removes the distractions that make so many selfless leaders busy but not effective and liked but not loved.” While an open-door policy might sound like a good idea, it can leave a leader with no time to focus. Leaders need to carve out this time and space and protect it vigorously. A leader can feel constantly ambushed and taken advantage of because of this. One talk show host famously lashed out about this in a memo to his staff, and then had to walk his comments back and admit he should’ve handled the messaging differently. “It may seem a little like going against gravity by putting selfish before selfless,” says Malatesta. “It will make you a better leader and your company a higher performing organization.”\n\n\nHow to Grow as a Business Coach for Entrepreneurs? \n\nHello this is Jared Polak, the founder of Entre Results, back for another awesome article post. This post is going to focus on a question I’ve been getting a lot lately from many entrepreneurs, which is how to go about growing as a business coach for entrepreneurs. As you and many other coaches know, I’ve been in the coaching industry for a long time. As a result, I spend a lot of my time now focused on giving back to the coaching community as well as coaching the coaches on the Entre Results team. As I do this, a lot of the business coaches I work with ask me the following question: How can you grow as you coach other entrepreneurs? What Goes into Being a Business Coach for Entrepreneurs There is a lot involved in answering that question, it’s definitely a complex one. It would take a decent chunk of time to cover everything in-depth. So, for right now, we’re just going to talk about 4 of the most important steps to take to continue growing while you coach other entrepreneurs. 4 Ways to Grow as a Business Coach for Entrepreneurs 1. Know Your Business Coaching Target. If you want to grow while coaching other entrepreneurs, you must start by thinking about what type of entrepreneur coaching you want to focus on. Doing that will enable you to discern your target. You might have a desire to help female entrepreneurs and choose them as your target, for example, women #business coaching could be what you choose to focus on. Or maybe your target is salespeople and choose to focus on sales coaching. Your target could be small businesses, in which case you would want to focus on small business coaching. These are just a few examples, but my main point is that knowing your target is a huge and very important component of learning how to grow as a business coach for entrepreneurs. 2. Define Your Business Coaching Specialty. The second step to figuring out how to keep growing as you coach other entrepreneurs is defining your specialty. You’re a coach, of course, but what kind of coaching do you focus on? Maybe you’re particularly good with sales and small business and so you specialize as a small business sales coach. Or perhaps you have both business coaching and consulting services. I know sometimes people will use the words coaching and consulting almost interchangeably. Even so, consulting is different than coaching, so it might be the case that you have two specialties and focus on both. More specifically, you might really love working with people who are new to the industry and focus on doing business coaching for startups because of that. I remember when I was starting up as a coach and how important it was for me to have help regarding my business. It was essential in many ways. So, there are many times even at EntreResults where we focus on business coaching for startups who are looking to coach other people. That might very well be what you’d like to focus on as well. Of course, that’s not our only focus, and it’s entirely possible that you might find yourself interested in offering more than one type of coaching as well. The only way to figure this out is to start thinking about your niche, target, and specialty in-depth. You’re going to want to dig as deep as you possibly can with these things. 3. Know Your Process or Coaching Techniques. Pinpointing your niche, target, and specialty is just the tip of the iceberg, because you’re also going to need to answer some questions involving your coaching practice. For instance, what coaching techniques do you want to utilize within your coaching practice? And, perhaps more importantly, do you currently have a coaching process? If you don’t, you need to. And if you do have a coaching process what exactly is it? You also need ask yourself whether you’re going to focus on coaching solo and individual coaching or on coaching teams. In that same vein, you’ll need to figure out what kind of model you’ll be using to coach people. The overarching theme here is figuring out what your coaching process is, what kind of techniques you’re going to use within it, and what type of coaching you’re going to focus on. 4. Choose Coaching Packages That Can Be Easily Understood and Purchased. Last, but not least, you need to consider your coaching packages and how you’re going to organize them. How will your small business coaching packages be set up and how will people pay for them? You might also want to create small business coaching courses or something along those lines. In a nutshell, learning how to grow as a business coach for entrepreneurs revolves around knowing your target, defining your specialty, knowing your process or technique, and making sure you choose packaging that makes everything easy for people to understand and purchase. So go ahead and continue to take action on the steps in this article and as you move forward with business coaching for entrepreneurs. Conclusion As always, thank you guys for taking the time to read this post. At this point, you’ve got some excellent tips when it comes to maintaining your growth as a coach for other entrepreneurs.

When 2020 lockdowns began, having a functional website and online store became essential tools, with all facets of business depending on it. And with each subsequent wave and variant, the importance of businesses having a digital presence only increased—consumers spent $791.70 billion online in the U.S. in 2020, up a whopping 32.4% from the year prior. In 2021, seemingly temporary solutions businesses pivoted with became the “newest normal” redefining the way small business owners work and what it takes to not only survive, but thrive. As we embark on yet another year of the pandemic, things still aren’t looking like business as usual. Small businesses must continue to adapt quickly to consumers’ changing habits and needs. Many are more tightly integrating their online and brick-and-mortar operations as customers prefer to interact both online and in-person, exemplified during online orders with prepaid curbside pickup.  Greg Goldfarb, VP of Products and Commerce at GoDaddy, shares how small businesses can lean into new innovations and technology trends spurred by the pandemic to simplify shopping for customers, boost customer loyalty and grow their business. Image Credits: Wicker Goddess While brands are running their brick-and-mortar locations, due to the pandemic many now have an online store open for business, allowing customers the choice between shopping in-person, online for delivery or online with in-store pickup. Consumer’s personal comfort levels have varied throughout the pandemic, and due to this new hybrid way of shopping sparked by the pandemic, new consumer habits have formed. They expect more options, and ultimately more convenience. Small businesses that can meet those demands are going to be a step ahead of the rest.  A recent survey commissioned by GoDaddy and conducted by OnePoll revealed four in five Millennials (82%) specifically said they would be more likely to purchase from a small business if they can place their order for delivery or pickup. Business owners should look at ways they can integrate tools like curbside pick-up, QR codes and contactless payments like Apple Pay, expanded outdoor dining options, video classes rather than requiring people to meet in-person and more. Providing more customizable shopping experiences for customers will build the loyalty needed to keep them coming back. With many small business owners selling in new places and across new platforms, managing orders and sales from various channels and keeping inventory up to date is essential to providing a seamless and positive experience for customers. There has never been a more important time to have a modern, digital commerce solution that provides a one-stop shop across ecommerce and point of sale along with integrated payments.  Companies like GoDaddy, which recently launched a commerce solution that offers businesses the ability to sell, track and manage sales in more places than any other comparable platform, simplify this process for small businesses. GoDaddy’s commerce solution empowers businesses in three ways: It provides two new point of sale devices fully integrated with WooCommerce and GoDaddy Online Stores to support scenarios like buy online with scheduled in-store pickup. It incorporates GoDaddy Payments for both e-commerce and POS transactions at industry-leading low rates, so businesses can keep more of what they make. And it also provides one convenient dashboard where business owners can see the state of their business in a single snapshot, including visual graphs mapping sales and orders, payment transaction and deposits details, and the ability to compare the performance of sales across all the marketplaces that business sells. Tapping into smarter technologies helps entrepreneurs future-proof their business, save time and grow their customer base.  Image Credits: Juanita’s Plants Along with the need for an engaging online store, the success of a business in today’s climate also depends on reaching customers wherever they are. As transactions become more digital, small businesses cannot solely rely on “location, location, location,” and need to adopt an expanded mindset of where they need to be present—while remaining consistent across each channel.  Consumers are shopping across the world’s biggest marketplaces, whether that’s through channels like Amazon, Etsy and eBay, or directly on social platforms they engage with daily. During a 2021 survey over 47 percent of responding social media users from the US aged 16 to 34 have purchased products or services on Instagram. Now more than ever, businesses need to be seemingly everywhere at once. However, small businesses should focus on a small handful of channels that matter most to their specific product category. Because while there are always new platforms and endless creative ways to sell to customers, it can quickly be confusing to manage them all and draining to figure out how to break through.  There are tools available that provide businesses with a simple and intuitive way to connect their online points of presence, including social platforms, marketplaces and a website or online store. For example, GoDaddy’s Website Builder now has an integrated Facebook and Instagram Ad Builder that enables small business owners to easily create and manage paid advertising across Facebook and Instagram from a single login. From that same dashboard business owners can add products to across places like Google Shopping, Etsy, Amazon and more. Operating under a commerce platform like GoDaddy that automates brand consistency, best practice selling across channels, leverages a single product catalog and inventory, and enables businesses to manage all orders from one place makes a huge difference.    As we move forward, businesses both small and large will need to closely examine how nimble and interconnected their systems are. The past two years have brought continuous ebbs and flows in which side of a business—online or in-person—served as a cornerstone or supporting pillar and proven that the speed your business is able to adapt is where successful brands catch their edge. Change is inevitably part of our foreseeable future; is your restaurant ready to shift with evolving consumer behaviors and preferences? And how quickly can your business make those changes? Companies that connect all of their offline and online points of presence create a seamless experience designed to swivel with your business as the proverbial pendulum swings. Building that kind of consistency for customers is how to lean into the “new normal” and position your business for growth in 2022 and beyond.\n\n\nhttps://www.socialpilot.co?fp_ref=supun65\nhttps://bit.ly/3psCXka",

      "title": "Small Business Guide to Hiring a Social Media Manager",
      "body": "Social media is an important marketing tool for small businesses, but many organizations find it difficult to manage their social media strategies on their own. Social media marketing has grown from a hobby to a full-blown industry, and small businesses often find themselves in need of a dedicated professional to handle the high demands of social media. Before bringing someone on to your team for this role, it is important to understand what a social media manager does, what to look for in a social media manager, and how much you should pay them. A social media manager is responsible for producing, managing and monitoring content on all of a company's social channels. They help shape the brand's voice by creating social posts on sites like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and LinkedIn, where they also respond to comments and organize campaigns. What does a social media manager do? The responsibilities of a social media manager vary by company, though their duties are often more complicated and in-depth than many people realize. You might be inclined to think that overseeing a business's social media presence is no different from managing your personal profiles, but it's far more complex and challenging. Social media managers must align their marketing efforts with your overall business plan, create a voice unique for your business, and manage multiple profiles at once. These are some of the key responsibilities of social media managers: Implement a marketing plan. This the first task a social media manager will often undertake, as it defines the scope of the rest of their work. A marketing plan addresses how each one of a company's social channels will be used, the company's goals for each social network, and the types of campaigns that will run on each. Determine posting schedules. A large part of social media management is knowing when and how often to post on each channel. A social media manager creates a specific schedule for each platform that determines how many posts will go live each day. Create a brand identity. Social media is a prime opportunity for your business to cultivate a unique brand identity and voice. Your brand identity should reflect the ways you stand out from your competitors and why your customers choose you. Support promotional strategies. Social media managers have experience with promotional materials. This includes creating and managing social ads, analyzing organic traffic activity, and working with influencers. Create an engagement strategy. Engagement is the name of the game in social media. Your manager should have a detailed strategy for how and when your business will engage with customers online. Develop a conversion plan. Social media is a great place to learn about your business and what works (and doesn't work) to convert leads into customers. A social media manager creates a plan specifically designed to convert leads on social media. Work with SEO. Search engine optimization is a content strategy to help your business show up in Google search results. Social media managers use this optimized content in posts to increase traffic to your website, boost brand awareness and generate more leads. Analyze data. Social media platforms often have analytics tools that provide data and insights on metrics like engagement, clicks, follower counts and traffic. Social media managers monitor and digest this data, looking for trends that the company can use to address issues and improve strategies. Create content. Last but certainly not least, the social media manager is responsible for creating the content that is posted to all of your social channels, including photos, videos, blog posts, captions and hashtags. It can be difficult to know when – or if – you need to hire a social media manager. Many small companies choose to avoid the cost of hiring a social media manager and try to distribute the duties among their employees, or have an employee with a different job title handle it. This can often backfire, since many businesses don't realize how much work and planning goes into social media. An employee who already has a full workload can't provide the same level of quality and thought that a full-time social media manager can. To determine if you need to hire a social media manager, answer these questions: Is social media vital to your marketing strategy? If social media plays a large part in how you plan to market your business, it may be prudent to hire an expert to make sure it's done right. Many businesses now use social media heavily for lead generation and to build a customer base and engage with their audience, and you want to ensure you are doing everything you can to convert those leads. Do you have advanced social media skills? It's one thing to have a LinkedIn or an Instagram account and post for yourself; it's another to craft posts that appeal to a wide audience and convert new leads into customers, and then analyze the data from that campaign. Social media is a complex and ever-changing medium, and if you're relying on it to market your business, you can't afford to make costly mistakes. Are you busy with other tasks? Social media can be a full-time job in itself, so if you're busy running your business, it can easily fall to the wayside. If you hire a social media manager, social media is their full-time job, so you don't need to worry about them finding time to craft posts and analyze data. Has your engagement been consistently low? If you've been running your social media as a business owner, but your engagement rates have been critically low no matter what you do, it may be time to bring in a professional. Engagement levels are considered critically low if they are below 10%, which means your posts aren't reaching or resonating with your audience. A social media manager comes in with a fresh eye and can identify and fix the issues so your hard work isn't going to waste. Whether you should hire an in-house social media manager or outsource the work to an agency or freelancer depends on your company, your needs and your goals.  \"Usually, it is best to have someone in-house as a social media manager,\" said Suken Shah, CEO and founder of Envision Marketing. \"The person can be at the business day in and day out, sharing content from the business, and the person knows what is taking place within the company at all times. [However], the budget of the business also  plays a role in which direction to go in. Sometimes there isn't enough budget to be able to afford a full-time person, so an agency is a way to go.\" You should also think about how closely you want to manage and communicate with your social media manager when deciding whether to have them in-house. \"It's no secret that it is easier to directly manage in-house staff versus outsourced staff,\" said Dave Hoch, co-founder of BigCupofCoffee.com and Colibrily. \"Plus, you can modify and adjust your processes and goals without much headache when you can directly control the roles and responsibilities.\" On the other hand, if you can afford a social media marketing agency's services, you get access to a whole team of experienced professionals who know how to handle it all. They won't know your brand as intimately as an in-house employee, which can be a drawback in some ways but also brings a fresh perspective to your social branding. Social media management is a demanding job with a variety of required skills, from copywriting to data analysis. Here are six of the qualities you should prioritize when looking for a social media manager. Writing skills: Social media can be a writing-heavy job, with captions, posts, and sometimes even blogs to write. Most importantly, someone with strong writing skills will be able to communicate your business's objectives effectively and in your brand's voice to your target audience. Social media experience: While this may seem like a no-brainer, your hire must have a strong social media presence. They should be skilled in digital marketing and have experience using all of the platforms your business does. They need to know the culture and voice of each social media channel. Their knowledge should include how and what to post and familiarity with each platform's analytics tools. Customer service skills: Social media is on the front lines of customer engagement, so your social media specialist should know how to communicate with customers effectively and properly. Make sure they are equipped to handle both positive and negative interactions on each social channel and can do so in your brand's voice. Design abilities: While it's not necessary to hire a full-fledged graphic designer for this role, a social media expert with an eye for what looks good and what doesn't in an image can take your social presence a long way. Look for someone who can take appealing photos and has some experience in at least creating simple graphics. Organization skills: Social media managers are responsible for handling a lot at once, so you need to know that your candidate of choice can balance all of their duties and stay on top of deadlines and schedules. Paid traffic experience: Shah said social media managers should understand how to run boosted posts and paid advertising campaigns. \"Organic reach can be limited on [social media] platforms, so boosting posts, developing ad campaigns and tracking ROI is critical to success.\" When you're ready to hire a social media manager, as we discussed above, you first need to determine whether you are hiring an in-house employee or outsourcing the work to an agency or freelancer. This decision will affect where you should look for candidates. There are many websites you can use to hire both in-house and outsourced social media managers. These are some of the most popular places to hire a social media marketer: Upwork Upwork is a popular site for all types of freelancers, including social media managers. You can search the site by industry or field, and filter the results based on how long you want to work with the freelancer, their experience level, and more. Fiverr Fiverr is another popular freelancer site where you can search for the role you need and view freelancers' profiles, complete with their skills and rates as well as their former clients' ratings and reviews of their work. Social media If you're looking for a social media manager, why not go directly to the source? Look through the social media platform you plan on using and find users who have popular profiles or are actively looking for work as a social media manager. \"Social media managers are where they love to be – on social media,\" said Gail McInnes, founder and president of Magnet Creative Management. \"Posting the job on LinkedIn or Glassdoor, then posting on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter to help spread the word will help open your search for the perfect candidate.\" Local universities A good option to save some money is to see if your local university or community college can provide you with a social-savvy student who doesn't require a large salary. \"Look for up-and-coming marketing, communication or business majors,\" Shah said. Freelancer.com Freelancer is a site that connects businesses with professional freelancers who work remotely. You can browse freelancers by skill and view profiles with descriptions of each freelancer and their skills. As with any job, how much you should pay your social media manager will depend on a variety of factors, including their experience, your business's location and the specific job requirements. Using a freelancer rather than hiring an in-house social media manager will also impact how much you pay, since you will typically pay freelancers an hourly rate or on a project basis rather than a salary. In 2020, the average hourly rate for a freelance social media manager is $15 to 1$20 per hour, depending on their level of experience, while the average yearly salary is $51,162.\n\n\n\"I Don’t Want to Be a Social Media Manager Anymore\" – Dealing with failure and overwhelm on your self-learning journey. \n\nHow do I even begin this one? So, there were times in my journey when I didn't want to be a social media manager anymore because I was dealing with a lot of challenges and wasn't getting the results I expected. I even went on to research other roles that I could explore or courses that I could take. It was a very hard time for me, but I, somehow, persuaded myself to take another step, and now here we are. What happens when you start something new? It's difficult to start something new, especially by yourself. You don't know what to expect, and you'll go through the emotional cycle of change. (To see what I mean, look at the diagram below.)   This theory, developed by Don Kelley and Daryl Conner, explains the various emotions that people through when they do something new or make a change in their lives. there are 5 main parts: Uninformed optimism (You think that you are the unicorn that the world has been waiting for) Informed pessimism (Your eyes have cleared and you realize that the battle may be the Lord’s) The valley of despair (You ask yourself whether you should quit or give it one more try) Informed optimism (You now know that even though you aren’t a unicorn, you can still make an impact) Success and fulfillment (Your work has made an impact and provided solutions) For me, learning this was a game-changer because it allowed me to let go of my unrealistic expectations and timelines. It reminded me not to give up in the valley of despair (which I have been in many, many, many times), and it helped me appreciate how far I'd come despite the challenges I'd faced Dealing with emotions in the valley of despair: When I entered the valley of despair. It was a rollercoaster experience that I thought I couldn't get out of. I experienced a wide range of emotions and today, I will talk about two that I dealt with most: overwhelm and feeling like a failure. When I first started taking social media courses, the plan was to get just one role after and apply what I had learnt. It was such a solid plan and I was very confident that I was going to have free time to read, exercise, hang out with friends (just building castles in the air). But, I couldn’t have been more wrong. Before long, I found myself drowning under my workload because I hadn’t had yet acquired the speed that came with experience, I still had so much to learn and I had also started a business on the side.  I was so overwhelmed that I had to tell my employer about my struggles and she generously offered me some days off. Now, I have learnt how to break huge tasks into small steps that I can take daily. This allows me to focus on the present moment rather than worrying about what needs to be done later. I have also learnt how to say no to 'opportunities' that will take me away from my goals. To avoid burning out, I ask for help when I need it and take regular breaks. (ahem, at least I try to) Like I mentioned before, I spent a lot of days in the valley of despair. Whenever I couldn’t meet a goal or achieve a result, I saw it as a sign that I wasn't good enough, instead of understanding that I still had a lot to learn, and acknowledging my wins. As if that was not enough, I kept on comparing myself to other social media managers, way ahead of me, who were thriving and making it. I felt like a total failure at a point and decided to count my losses and consider a new field, which led me to take a Google UX design course on Coursera. Now, I understand that failure is part of success. I try not to take negative feedback personally and learn from my mistakes. The UX Design course I took has also made me better at my role because I have learnt how to give our social media audience a good user experience whenever they visit our social media profile. I have also stopped comparing myself to people who have already paid their dues and are reaping the rewards of their hardwork. I rather look up to them for inspiration and guidance. I am grateful that I get to look back at these experiences and see the lessons that I learnt. I hope to share more in future newsletters. I understand that everyone’s journey is different and sometimes quitting may be the wisest thing to do. But, before you throw in the towel, make sure that it's not because of things that can be solved or worked on. Hi!
