October 7, 2019

When you were a kid, chances are you thought about growing up to be a doctor at some point. As a doctor, you get to help your patients (your favorite stuffed animals) feel better, you get to use cool tools, and you rattle off your name with “doctor” added before it and feel exceptionally awesome. Then you grow up, and you realize it’s hard work to become a doctor — lots of school and hours of keeping up with certifications, patient records, regulations and more. Of course there was a time when people went to the doctor because they were

Why Every Business Should Be Using Content Marketing

September 21, 2019

Back in the day, every town had a hardware store, a grocery store, a barber shop, and any other vendor you could ever need. Each of these establishments was run by someone who had likely grown up either in that town or nearby and was part of a multi-generational family who had called your town or area home for decades.

When you call a company’s customer service number, the last person you expect to hear on the other end of the line is the company’s CEO. Why?

You don’t need to have a Fortune 500 company to have a customer service department. You don’t even need to hire another person! Your business can provide a friendly online

August 6, 2019

Let’s take a quick step back in time. Picture this – the year is 2004, and then-college sophomore Mark Zuckerberg just launched a new website from his dorm room called “thefacebook.com.” Within a week, Zuckerberg would be sued by three Harvard seniors that claimed that he stole their idea for a social networking site, and it wouldn’t be many days later when Zuckerberg would be accused of breaking into two students’ email accounts based off of data that they provided on thefacebook.com (source). So, while the fine amount may be new for Facebook, the controversy is not. In 2018, Facebook
