7 Ways To Use Snapchat For Business And Grow Your Brand There is no denying it; Snapchat is on the rise. It has always been a powerhouse in the 12-18 age bracket, BUT in the past 12-18 months, it has been on the rise with 21-45-year-olds. If you are not utilizing Snapchat for your brand, you are doing it wrong. In this article, I am going to list seven ways to use Snapchat for business, and how it can grow your brand. 1. Deliver Private Behind The Scenes Content You can use Snapchat to provide behind the scenes “special content” to your community. Exclusive access to you and your business is extremely valuable.

How To Start A Successful Blog Today The blogging space is full of what I call “Noise.” This just means there are a lot of blogs out there, and very few are valuable. I’m not trying to be harsh it’s just the truth. If you want your blog to be successful, you are going to have to work extremely hard and have patience. If you have GREAT content and a consistent posting schedule you will be fine.

Logo Design for your business is critical. It is the face and the first thing people see when they encounter your brand. When it comes to getting a logo designed for your company there are a few ways you can go about it. You can design the logo yourself if you are a decent artist and proficient with design software such as Adobe Illustrator. You can go the inexpensive route and go to a site such as Fiverr to have a freelance artist design one for you. You can go the more professional route which I recommend and run a competition on 99 Designs for different graphic designers to compete for your business. Create a logo that clearly illustrates what your company stands for or does, and stands out visually when looked at. There are many different things you need to take into account when choosing a logo design. It should be clean and functional, you need to be able to look at it and tell what the business is about, and you need to think about your target audience.   For all of my online ventures, I have chosen
