Two Things You Could Do With Your Online Social Media Game Plan




The Facebook…or rather…the online social media marketing tool will never be the same for any period of time. It is always changing. The moment you feel like you are on good footing, out goes all the concepts that you thought would ‘work like magic’. The online marketing landscape is such that you can never be too sure or too secure in knowing what to do.

This keeps the marketing people on their toes, doesn’t it?

Well, here is the thing about marketing a business or brand through the web 2.0 platter…never rest. Never stop reading. Never stop learning. Never stop finding new things to do. Never.

In the spirit of learning something new to do on your Facebook account, here are two fun things to do on your Facebook to help marketing and brand your business.


Get up close and personal. The internet connects every single one of us on the planet who has internet connection. One might say that it makes the world a smaller place but this also means that everyone is a tad more skeptical about who and what we say we are. You could be genuine in your approach, but the person on the other end does NOT know this. For all he or she knows, you could be out for his or her family! Or your inheritance.

So, the only way to bridge that gap is to get a little bit more personal. Reveal things about yourself that jeopardize your freedom or safety. Be free to share your happiness and show that you care for others through your online postings. Nothing closes the gap faster than to show some form of vulnerability on your side. Yes, it might make the postings a little less professional but who cares about professionalism when the world is already full of fakeness?

I say bring on the genuine people. PEOPLE. Not robots.

Have fun with polls. Ask. One of the things that are truly welcomed about Facebook changes is that they brought on the poll feature. You will be surprised with the feedback that you get when you even bother to ask about something. It could be about the weather, an interesting news, a local celebrity or an event that you are attending.

People are dying to tell you what they know, feel or are experiencing, trust me on this one.

Compromising professionalism for personality might be something new to large corporations but I think that it is only a matter of time that these brand names start putting faces onto their Facebook accounts. For example, they might assign someone in their company to the account and associating this person as an ambassador.

That would REALLY be interesting, don’t you think?

Stargazer - Stretch Those Sides

I have been doing this pose, part of Cosmic Dance (a type of yoga, I am assuming), called Stargazer pose without knowing it is called Stargazer's pose a lot in the past. You see, sometimes, I don't follow the rules and come up with my own stretches and poses. It is fun. I have on some music, nice, soothing music or just anything I can click on. Then I go with the flow, letting my hair down. Just moving to the music...and that is when I come up with the above Stargazer's pose. This pose really stretches your sides. Keep your eyes on the outstretched hand if you are keeping it pointed to the top, as if you are waving or connecting to a higher energy from the Universe. Your arms will ache a little but hey, toned arms, here you come! :-) For those who want a bigger stretch, it is safe to slowly and gently move the lifted hand towards your back...don't overdo it, listen to your body's complaints and respect it. You don't have to prove anything to anyone, reme

Maid Side-Kick

I was kind of a little sad when I read the news about this - there will be no live-in Indonesian maids in Malaysia anymore . There are pros and cons to having a live-in maid, as with everything else, but for us, we enjoyed more pros than cons. Back then, when my kids were little, we brought in a family of maids to help with...well, just about everything, and we were like two families merged into one. They ate what we ate, we sleep, they sleep, we shop, they shop, they joke, we laugh, we joke, they laugh...for me, the maid I hired was more like a sister and side-kick to me. For that few years, I was dependent on her to mind-read my schedule and when I need or don't need help. She picked things up quickly and we ended up having lots of moments whereby we were in sync. Today, two of them are on my Facebook and we were gleefully chatting over Facebook Messenger since they've just discovered the wonders of the Internet and Social Media. Since we were more like partners in crim

Project Wolf Hunting (2022) - Film Review

Less than 10 minutes into the movie, I was already wondering why am I watching this show, and in the dead of the night.  But I was thinking to myself, I've toughened up quite a bit when it comes to things like these... Happiness , Signal , Sweet Home , Alice in Borderland , Vagabond , City Hunter , Tunnel ...these crime and sci-fi dramas and films I endured just so that I can watch my favorite actors in action...they must have really built me some mental muscles.  Usually, I am the late kind because I want to see what everyone has to say about it...so that I am prepared.  I will just present you with reasons to watch and reasons NOT to. Here goes.  REASONS TO WATCH If you like Seo In Guk , Jung So Min , Jang Dong Yoon , Sung Dong Il , or maybe even Im Ju Hwan , you might want to endure this film.  Hint : If you're a fan of Jang Dong Yoon, maybe watch it.  It's interesting. I know we have a lot of post apocalyptic world films all over the place now but this is a little diffe
