If you use Twitter, then you have probably heard of hashtags. Hashtags add emphasis to a tweet by highlighting main words. By highlighting the main words, you will be able to give your visitors and followers an idea about what you talk about. Hashtags can be thought of as an exclamation point. Since a hashtag has a different color from the rest of the tweet’s text, it will be the first thing the visitor sees. However, having too many hashtags in your tweets is just like having too many exclamation points in the same paragraph–they will get overemphasized. This will result in less followers and visitors which is something that can’t happen. Don’t use too many hashtags in your tweets, but don’t avoid them either.
Appearance Matters
Don’t judge a book by its cover. Too bad not everyone thinks this way. Before your visitors see any words on your blog, they will notice the appearance of the blog. The theme of the blog is essential to attract your visitors. If your theme looks dull, you won’t be able to keep your visitors on your blog for too long. If your blog has a good theme, your reader will stay long enough to take a look at your content. Then it is all up to the content on the blog to keep the visitor engaged.
Line Segment AB
A line segment is a part of a line with 2 end points. A line segment, or as I would like to call it, Line Segment AB, can be used to give you an idea of how much your business has improved or declined. Point A can be considered the starting point (where you began with your business) and Point B can be considered as achieving a goal. You might be close to that goal, or you might be far away from it. Line Segment AB will give you an idea of how close you are to achieving that goal.
Rules
Sometimes rules are avoid, forced upon others, or you are the one giving out the rules. There are some good rules to follow such as not driving a car at a young age or doing other things too early, but there are some rules that restrict success from others. Rules can be good or bad, but it is up to what the rule is, who is giving out the rule, and the intention of that person. There can be many unintended consequences by giving out too many rules which can limit the growth of a business.
Hills
Running down hills can be a lot of fun…running back up those hills is the big challenge. There are a lot of hills we will encounter. When you have to go uphill, you are getting somewhere better than you were previously. However, running up that hill takes a lot of energy without walking. Eventually, running up the same hill will be very easy.
Take charge of your business, and don’t be scared of running uphill because once you get to the top, you will feel better and stronger than you did previously.
Quick Action–My Experience
I am well aware that I talked about quick action very recently, but I had a moment of very quick action yesterday which I think a lot of people would be interested in. Yesterday started out as a normal day–I got to school at around 8, finished track at around 4:30, and stayed for a while talking to friends, doing homework, and watching a volleyball game in the gym. On our way home, the sky looked innocent, but as we drove farther, a storm was catching up to us. I knew I would get home safely, but I also heard about thunder and lightning which to me is no fun to be in. Not only that, but I feared that the bad weather would take out the connection I had to the internet which would lead to no tweets and no blog posts for this blog and my other blog as well. I got home and ran right up to do my work. I scheduled tweets and blog posts for two of my blogs (including this one). I saw lightning and heard the thunder as I typed, but since this blog post is very long, everything turned out to be okay. Waiting 30 minutes to do my work (eating, shower, etc.) would have resulted in me risking losing the internet and the ability to write more content.
