  Who are nano-influencers? Nano-influencers are people who have followers between 1000 and 10,000 and create content in a particular niche. These are everyday people like neighbors, friends, and your cousin who is into watches. You may be a nano-influencer if you have 1000 influencers and a point of view with which people like.  Today brands are collaborating with these nano-influencers to market their brand.  You must be wondering why a brand would want to include nano-influencers in their marketing campaign when they don’t have massive followership like celebrities? Reasons why brands collaborate with nano-influencers: Trust and Engagement: Nano-influencers do not have a good reach, but they compensate for that with the trust, intimacy and engagement that they have built with their followers. To better understand and look at it this way, people tend to take advice to make purchase decisions. In such a scenario, if you get a product recommendation from someone you trust...

On 26th May, Facebook Inc declared that users of Instagram and Facebook will now have the option of hiding like counts on their posts from the public. This change gives more power in the hands of users to use it as per their interest. So, now before sharing a post, you can choose to hide like counts.  On Instagram, you can also hide like counts on other posts by visiting the new Posts section in Settings.

These two controls will be rolled out soon for Facebook as well. Today  social media  platforms have become so addictive that people continuously check their phone, invest less time in themselves and their relationships, harm their eyes, sleep patterns and waste a lot of time. It also impacts the user’s mental well-being, especially among youngsters. Youngsters see the number...

  Company blogs can undoubtedly give your  SEO  that much-needed boost. But if it’s boring, it won’t benefit you in any way. Most organizations fail to make their blogs genuinely interesting, and that’s probably one of the primary reasons they are unable to gain traction with SEO, despite their content marketing efforts. So even though you have guest bloggers and neat stock images, your company blog might be missing the mark. The bottom line is that if your blog does not elicit any engagement, emotions, or sharing among your audience, even all the top-ranking keywords in the world won’t be able to give it any boost. So it’s really your decision to make whether you want to turn your company blog into a valuable resource that users will not only wish to read but also share with their peers, which will, as a result, improve your SEO. ADDRESS THE ISSUES Amateur bloggers often make numerous common mistakes, and just because you’ve got a company blog that looks professional doe...

  The implementation of mobile-first indexing, which was long-awaited, is now finally upon us. That is to say, the search giant Google will disregard the content visible only on the desktop from this point onwards. For several years, mobile-first has been Google’s priority as user experience has become one of the most important things now, if not “the most important.” Google will shortly roll out the Page Experience update as a whole now. According to the company, “page experience signal measures aspects of how users perceive the experience of interacting with a web page.” It comprises five main Search signals. Hopefully, you know at least four of these signals, including mobile-friendliness, safe-browsing, HTTPS-security, and intrusive interstitial, as they have been effective for a while now. Google has rolled out and updated the guidelines for each of these as it is trying to keep up with the growing customer expectations. Wondering what’s new now? In May, the search engine will...

  If the tech giant, Apple, was intimidated when the popular online video game Fortnite tried to bypass its App Store, it will surely not be happy when PWAs thrive. Progressive web apps obstruct Apple’s granular control over the App Store as they deliver app-like experiences without requiring the users to download a real application. While these are designed for daily website users, they offer numerous features exclusive to native applications only. Even though many businesses are “really” into the idea of developing native apps, to tell the truth, this approach can be a struggle for the developers. Building a native application comes with many responsibilities, including updating them regularly, handling user reviews, drawing downloads, paying a 30% share of each sale (including in-app purchases and paid apps) to most stores, which makes sense. In 2020, Apple earned over $64 billion from the App Store, according to reports. This is part of the reason why the search giant Google is...
