About Me

Social Media as a Marketing Tool

My name is Arlene Wells, and I want to thank you for stopping by my website. I own a small retail store in the city where I live. My shop is quite specialized, so I have customers that travel an hour or more to come and shop. I enjoy my customers very much; they are what motivate me to go and open my store every day. I have found that social media is a perfect way to not only stay in touch with my customers, but also to market my business. As a small business owner, I feel it’s important to keep communications with consumers personalized. With social media, I’m able to chat with customers and potential customers, answer questions even when I’m not at the shop, and advertise special promotions. I am going to share about social media marketing in the hope you find some information of value here.

 

Tips For Reading News Articles

If you are a busy person, you likely want to make sure that you are getting news that is accurate, up-to-date, and informative. You also likely don't want to spend too much time reading the news because it could detract from other activities that you might wish to partake in. Here are some tips for getting the best news the fastest way possible.

1. Choose a Verified News Source and Stick to It

Your first step is to find a verified news source and stick to it. You don't want to be browsing the Internet for hours each day trying to find the news articles that are the most reliable. If you choose a news source that is fairly reliable, you can feel confident that the vast majority of its articles are going to be accurate. This will allow you to not have to worry about spending too much time fact checking.

2. When You Have Your Main News Source, Get a Secondary, Opposing Source

Once you have your main news source, spend some time finding an equally reliable opposing news source. For example, if the news source that you choose is prone to being fiscally conservative and socially liberal, choose a news organization as your secondary source that is socially conservative and fiscally liberal. This will make it relatively easy to get an opposite side of the news story so that you get most of the facts.

You don't have to read this news source as heavily as your original source because you will be rereading a lot of the same stories. Instead, commit to reading one article a day from this news source about the major news event of the day. Check the news report's trending topics for what is most important in the world right now.

3. Skim the News

Finally, you don't have to worry about reading the entire news article. The vast majority of the news is going to be written in an inverted pyramid formation. This means that most of the key facts are going to be at the beginning of the article and it is going to have less important facts as you continue reading. In many cases, you don't even have to read the last paragraph to get the full gist of the story.

By taking the time to isolate one or two news sources that you commit to reading, you cut down on the amount of time you have to spend browsing the web. You make it easier for you to get the news you want quickly by skimming the articles. For more information, talk to a company that specializes in providing the news to the general public.
