Is anyone listening? Adapting to the Changing Landscape of Business in 2024

Something dawned on me this morning. Actually, I have been thinking about it for quite some time. I wonder if you have noticed it too. For years, we have used social media to generate work opportunities, often quickly. I do it and you probably do it too. And it has worked really, really well. With social media, we can quickly connect with anyone from almost anywhere. I have connections across the globe, the UK, India, Pakistan, Africa, Ireland, Europe, The United States, and even a friend who lives about as far south as you can live in Mexico. It’s easy

3 Big Ideas to guide your business and marketing

It seems that Wix has recently attempted to launch some kind of campaign. They sent Bose headphones to several WordPress influencers. They used it to give them a QR Code (who uses those anyway?) that takes these influencers (developers) to a video that talks about complaining or something. It was pretty bizarre. Who knows what Wix was trying to accomplish. They seemed to try their hand at influencer marketing with a twist, I guess. Mark that down as one I never heard. WordPress influencers seemed to think they were trying to trash WordPress, so the tactic didn’t land well.
