What Is Social Media Engagement? It is the number of shares, likes, and comments. A big following is great, but an engaged audience is better than a big one--quality over quantity. There are certain metrics used to measure social media engagement. They include: Use of branded hashtags. Mentions. Click-throughs. Audience and followers' growth. Likes. Comments. Retweets/shares. Your followers can naturally start engaging with your content. But often, you may need to encourage them a little. Here are a few tricks to help you with that. Assess your engagement: see how many followers you have, the average number of shares and comments you get on each post and any other relevant numbers. Make sure you continue monitoring these numbers. Choose your strategy: every company has different goals and strategies are, thus, different. Your strategy will depend on your goals. This could be educating the audience, collecting feedback, changing the public perception, etc. Understand your audience: it is not easy to engage people you do not know.
When you ask most people, they will tell you they never expected the FIRE movement to get so popular. Foregoing the pleasures of life and saving 50%+ of income in order to retire at 30 or 40 is not an easy thing to do. In 2020, the FIRE movement is at its peak. Unfortunately, that means there's no more rising-the only way to go is down. Every day, you see a story of someone who retired early and how they achieved that. This is how you know that FIRE is at its peak. Any investor knows that when you see the news in print, you cannot invest because it is too late. But it is usually a great time to sell. Investors try to forecast the future. Building true wealth is not just about making money. At some point, you have seen happy poor people and miserable rich people.

Essential oils have varying quality. Whether you are an aromatherapist or a consumer, assessing the quality of essential oils (EOs) is not easy. They originate from across the world and companies, or suppliers get them from wholesalers or farmers whose integrity and practices they have learned to trust. The end consumer has no idea and cannot assess these practices and relationships.

Dropshipping is a method of retail fulfillment where stores do not actually stock their products. When someone buys a product, the store buys it from another party and then ships it to the customer directly. The merchant neither handles nor sees the product. Dropshipping is different from the conventional retail model in that, in dropshipping the seller does not own an inventory. He or she purchases an order from a third party. The dropshipping model, like everything else, has drawbacks and benefits. You need less capital: this is arguably the biggest advantage. You do not need thousands of dollars to start an ecommerce store. Conventional retailers need to have a huge amount of capital to build their inventory. In dropshipping, you only purchase a product once a customer has placed an order and made the payment. An initial inventory investment is not needed. Easy to start: an ecommerce business becomes much easier to run when you do not handle physical products. You will not worry about a warehouse, packing and shipping, tracking inventory, handling returns, and much more. Low overhead: since you will not be dealing with a warehouse or purchasing inventory, expect low overhead expenses. A lot of people run a dropshipping businesses from their home office with their laptop and only use about $100 per month. The expenses may increase as your business grows but they will still be low. Flexible location: if you have an internet connection, you can manage your dropshipping business from anywhere.
Etsy is an online retail community just like eBay only that it focuses on vintage or handcrafted commodities. Most of the goods sold there are in the jewelry, arts, crafts, housewares, artisan candies, baked goods, or paper-goods categories. For an item to qualify as vintage it has to be at least 20 years old and can be anything from photos, costumes, housewares, jewelry, and clothing. Etsy provides a great avenue for you to sell your homemade goods--but that's not all. You can find a limitless number of items on Etsy that will help your home business. For instance, if you use The Happy Planner, Filofax, or Erin Condren to schedule and organize your life or business, there are downloadable stickers and inserts that you can buy and use in your planner. If you need promotional items that have your logo on them; there are a good number of Etsy sellers that can make custom swag for you. They will not only make coffee cups and pens, but also cosmetics, jewelry, bookmarks, and pretty much everything with your logo and name on them. For a very long time, a majority of artisans and craftsman sold their commodities at open markets, fairs, and on consignment.
You probably have an idea how robots will affect human workers negatively. Chief players in the tech world like Bill Gates and Elon Musk have provided their solutions; universal basic income or robot tax. But amidst the serious warnings and the utter sci-fi utopias, the human pain that will follow future job loss seems to be forgotten.
15 years or so from now, the US economy will lose 38% of its jobs to automation. This rate is alarming. And yet, many people maintain that automation should not and cannot slow down.
However, what if the progress is decelerated a little? Just enough to match the slow fashion and slow food trends maybe? At the very least, people should rethink the ownership of autonomous trucks. Robotization would not be that bad if truck drivers owned the automatic trucks instead of having a corporation own them all. In the meantime; robotization is a real threat and poses a danger to crucial human infrastructure.

Seemingly, blockchain will take over most aspects governing the world of finance, and probably become the milestone to advance in financial institutions and other aspects of the industry. The first and most important thing about blockchain is the technical features enable transactions between anonymous people, while still making the system secure for everyone. Better yet, since the system is not subject to regulation by banks or governments, it offers an unprecedented leverage for users over most other financial services. The term metaverse was first used in 1992 in a science fiction novel called snow crash. It portrayed humans as avatars where they interacted with each other and software agents which HBO network is looking to produce into a television series. In a more detailed explanation, the metaverse combines technologies that include virtual reality, which consists of an online community where users interact with each other in a simulated world of augmented reality that combines both the physical and the digital world.
Originally, the term hacker referred to a programmer who was skilled in computer operating systems and machine code. Today, it refers to anyone who performs hacking activities. Hacking is the act of changing a system's features to attain a goal that is not within the original purpose of the creator. The word hacking is usually perceived negatively especially by people who do not understand the job of an ethical hacker. In the hacking world, ethical hackers are good guys. What is their role? They use their vast knowledge of computers for good instead of malicious reasons. They look for vulnerabilities in the computer security of organizations and businesses to prevent bad actors from taking advantage of them. For someone that loves the world of technology and computers, it would be wise to consider an ethical hacking career. You get paid (a good amount) to break into systems. Getting started will not be a walk in the park--just as with any other career. However, if you are determined, you can skyrocket yourself into a lucrative career. When you decide to get started on this journey, you will have to cultivate patience. The first step for many people is usually to get a degree in computer science. You can also get an A+ certification (CompTIA)--you must take and clear two different exams. To be able to take the qualification test, you need to have not less than 500 hours of experience in practical computing. Experience is required, and a CCNA or Network+ qualification to advance your career. This book should be your start into the world of ethical hacking.
Society relies heavily on credit for most financial decisions. Today, good credit is not just important for getting a loan or a credit card. Many businesses have to check your credit before deciding whether or not they will extend their products and services to you. Mortgage lenders need to be sure that you will pay your mortgage responsibly before they can finance you. Without good credit, the mortgage lender concludes that giving you a loan is risky for them. If they still approve, regardless of your poor credit, they will charge you a very high interest rate. Bad credit will see you pay a higher mortgage amount or worse, your mortgage application will be declined. Just because you are not currently interested in buying a house does not mean that your credit does not matter. Landlords will, in most cases, consult your credit before renting you a house or apartment. Your lease is considered a loan. You require a loan to purchase a car unless you have the full amount at hand. Your credit score affects the loan amount and interest rate and whether or not you will be given the loan in the first place. With excellent credit, you will qualify for a higher loan amount and the interest rate will be lower. A poor credit score translates to limited options. Not many lenders will be ready to finance you and the few that will be willing might charge a very high interest rate. This is the ultimate credit repair guide.

You will always hear people giving excuses saying that they were not born with the talent necessary to succeed. It is true there are naturally advantaged people in some ways. However, attaining success at something boils down to committing yourself and taking the time to acquire and master skills. In fact, talent is nothing more than a starting point. Nobody is denying that natural talent exists. There are genetically advantaged, especially where physical ability is concerned. Nonetheless, success is not always a physical venture for most people. They just want to do something and be good at it. They desire to earn a decent salary while doing something fulfilling--all for a comfortable life. Every successful person you see had to work hard to get there; from the Olympic sprinter to the world-renowned musician. Do you desire to be successful? Well, stop limiting yourself.
To be a star, you must shine your own light, follow your own path, and don't worry about darkness, for that is when the stars shine brightest.

In a world where truth is increasingly manipulated, Maya, a seasoned leader of a global organization known as The Nexus, has dedicated her life to fighting corruption, protecting information integrity, and defending free thought. From humble beginnings in Echo Park, her journey has taken her to the center of international conspiracies, fierce battles for justice, and relentless campaigns to expose hidden powers. Now, on the brink of retirement, she discovers that her greatest fight has yet to come.
When an anonymous message warns that the Veritas Collective-a powerful and secretive syndicate-has re-emerged with a plan known only as Equinox, Maya is pulled back into a covert world she thought she had left behind. The Veritas Collective is more than an enemy; it is a centuries-old organization determined to control reality itself, using advanced technology to rewrite history, alter perceptions, and influence humanity on a massive scale.
Maya, with her trusted Nexus allies-Kira, Raven, Henri, and the elusive Archivist-embarks on a high-stakes mission to uncover the Veritas Collective's true intentions and to dismantle Equinox before it launches. But as she digs deeper, Maya finds herself confronting not only external threats but also shadows from her own past, realizing that the roots of the Collective's power are entwined with her own origins in Echo Park.
As the battle escalates, Maya and The Nexus fight against impossible odds, facing cyber-attacks, moles, and relentless disinformation campaigns. Their final showdown with the Collective's mysterious leader, Orion, brings them to the edge of both physical and psychological endurance. In a daring, last-minute attack, they manage to dismantle Equinox's central system, halting the Collective's plan to synchronize and control humanity's perceptions in one coordinated, global event.
Yet, even in victory, Maya receives a cryptic warning: Equinox was just the beginning. The Veritas Collective's reach extends deeper than she could have imagined, suggesting that the fight for truth is an eternal battle-one that will continue to shift and evolve long after her final confrontation.
In an epilogue filled with reflection and quiet tension, Maya returns to Echo Park, sensing both closure and the haunting knowledge that this mission, while complete, is only one chapter in a much larger struggle. Her journey and legacy inspire future generations within The Nexus to guard reality itself, knowing that as long as there are those who seek control, there will be others willing to stand against them.
Maya's story is one of courage, resilience, and the timeless battle between light and shadow-a reminder that the truth is never truly safe but always worth fighting for.
