π² TikTokβs CEO, Shou Chew, made a video on the @TikTok handle to inform the TikTok community about the upcoming congressional hearing and also ask for their support. Whether Congress likes it or not, TikTok has already become a staple in many of our lives... taking it away will create a huge gap. It will eliminate: jobs from TikTok employees in the U.S., income from millions of creators who rely on the platform, marketing opportunities from SMBs, and more. It will certainly evoke chaos among Gen Z, who make up 60%+ of users on the platform. I think the CEO doing a βcall to actionβ on the platform is a bold move to bring Gen Zers into the conversation. Curious to hear what others think about the ban and how it will impact your businesses! π #marketing #community #tiktok #tiktokmarketing #ceo #business #smallbusiness #digitalmarketing #videomarketing #contentmarketing
Using ChatGPT for social media marketing. π€ Whatβs my take on this? πββοΈ Well, the ability to produce a variety of content, such as social media posts, email marketing campaigns, website material, blog posts, product descriptions and more, makes it a desirable tool for digital marketers. ππ» From generating high-quality and unique content to analyzing customer behavior and optimizing advertising targeting, ChatGPT can help businesses drive engagement, conversions, and overall business growth.π However, ChatGPT may not be able to fully replicate the creativity and emotions that we humans do. Still, it needs that final human βtouchβ to get the most out of it, be it detailed and accurate prompts or proofreading and fact-checking. One thing is for sure: as the world evolves, we must find a way for AI and humans to co-exist and collaborate productively, otherwise, those sticking to traditional methods will lose out against those leveraging AI. #ai #chatgpt #socialmediamarketing #socialmedia #contentmarketing

π©π»βπ» As a Social Media Manager, designing and creating visual content is an essential skill. Your creativity skills and having an eye for design is a must especially when your client wants a visually appealing image that conveys the message. π― Iβve been working with Zev Halpern for almost 2 years now doing creative graphic designs, video and podcast editing. I leaned into his business model. We've shared a lot of ideas together and he simply trust me that Iβm doing my job and I understand where heβs trying to take his business. π Also, when you have a good working relationship with your client, asking for a recommendation is not a problem at all!

Thank you National Nutrition Council Region X Nutrition for having me and my team as your resource speaker on Social Media Management and Development of Social Media Cards and Basic Video Editing. π©π»βπ»It was fun co-learning with you. π€π #speaker #training #socialmedia #socialmediamanager #leadership #learning
π€It was such a great honour and privilege to be invited to speak about βThe Basics of Social Media Managementβ during the Training with the Public Information Officers here in our city.These officers are page admins so I taught them about how to optimize the page, the process of creating, publishing, and analyzing content to post, creating an eye-catching and engaging content, how to grow page followers and increase page engagements.And since they are in the public service, I also shared with them the Doβs and Donβts of social media such as responding to both positive and negative comments/complaints calmly and politely as it will reinforce a trustworthy and positive image with the social media community.I am so thankful to our City Vice Mayor for giving me the opportunity to share my knowledge and skills about Social Media Management. π©π»βπ»It was a fun-filled experience and Iβm glad to hear that the participants learned a lot from this training. #speaker #training #socialmedia #socialmediamanagement #leadership #socialmediamanager #information #publicservice #informationofficer #socialmediaadmin #facebookmarketing
Workcation
Being able to travel while working online? π§³π©π»βπ»
Why not?!ππ»ββοΈ
Yes, this is what I am doing as of the moment. Last week I had a European tour for a week with my sister. Now I am back in Switzerland as I am staying here with my family for 90 days.
I call it a "workcation" which is a combination of βworkβ and βvacationβ. That means I can do my normal job online while being on a kind of vacation. I go on a holiday destination and explore the region after my work is done or during the weekends.
The flexibility and the freedom are some of the things that I love about my job. I can take my work with me while I travel. As long as I have my laptop and a descent internet connection, I can work anywhere in the world. π
The duration and the work vacation ratio depends on the agreement with the employer or client. π€
Employees and freelancers today, especially millennials, ask for more flexible working hours and more vacation. π
For employers, thatβs often not feasible. A workcation could be a good way to keep both sides happy. π―
What are the benefits?
β΄οΈ The change of scenery is a great way to get new inspirations and motivation.
β΄οΈ Looking at your job from a different perspective can show ways to improve it.
β΄οΈ It can lower your stress level when youβre going on a holiday.
β΄οΈ You can meet other people in similar positions and learn from them.
β΄οΈ You get to know new cultures and countries.
β΄οΈ The experiences can make you grow both personally and professionally.
β΄οΈ Research shows that remote workers are more productive.
With many of us now able to, or having to, work remotely, we are also reminded of the benefits of connection to nature as an integral part of our work-life balance.
After all, why work from home when you could work from the beach, the mountains, or the city view? πππ

Client Testimonial
An exceptional client experience is much more than getting the job done. Itβs about building a good working relationship with them. π€
Thatβs how I worked with my client, Jacqueline Jones, CEO & Founder of Divine Beginnings, LLC.
I leaned into her business model. We've shared a lot of ideas together and she simply trusts me that Iβm doing my job and I understand where sheβs trying to take her business.
Building a good rapport and treating your VA as a business partner are some of the important aspects of having a good working relationship. π―
The better the relationship you have with your Virtual Assistant, the longer they will stay. The longer they stay, the more benefit to you.

Travel and Vacations are Back!!π§³βοΈ
Travel and vacations are back! π§³βοΈ
I flew to Manila 2 weeks ago and Iβm glad to see that traveling is now becoming back to normal.
Government across the world loosen coronavirus restrictions and shift their approach to accepting Covid-19 as an endemic disease and a manageable part of everyday life.
International destinations that have long been closed to most travelers have started reopening their borders. Now thatβs good news!π
Have you started traveling this year? If not, where do you plan to go for your next vacation? π
