You’ll be able to add much more value and success in your life or business as productivity depends on your performance and mindset. You could be hardworking enough, but at the end of the day in your job, productivity is counted on how many completed tasks of good quality you have executed that gives results.Whether you’re working for a boss or being your own boss, quality and progress matters to move forwards and to feel good about yourself, your work input and attitude and will give you a daily sense of fulfillment to reach for your goals.

Turn Off Notifications There are parts of your day where social media does not play a role, simply because you´re having other obligations to attend, like when you’re in a meeting; when you are among your family & friends; when you’re out having dinner; when you are in the lavatory. These are just some examples, but you got the idea. Turn it off. Don’t be tempted to have a look at it other than throughout the timeschedule and plan you’ve already set up. Stick to your plan. 6.

That way you can enjoy both without anxiety or the feeling you are missing out which is called: the fear of missing out (FOMO). Be more “zen” by living in the moment and it will give you peace of mind. 7. Don’t Lie To Yourself.Most of the time by being “busy” makes you feel good about yourself. It seems like you are doing something and accomplishing one thing. However, the reality is, not all activities that keeps you busy are productive. It is important that you just develop the flexibility to be honest with yourself about why you’re doing something at that specific time and order.

The 10 most useful tips how to get fans and a successful Facebook page.
I would like to help you to create a successful Facebook page or if you don’t have one yet, to start to setup your own “fan page”. All these tips can help you reach a growing Facebook page with ‘Likes’ and fans to give you a good jumpstart. There are many different Facebook pages: you’ll have just a common page that is just there to exist, but it is boring and it does nothing to draw in an audience. Or you’ll have a Facebook page that is attractive and really draws your attention, while it has the “WOW” factor with great value and the audience is sending lots of “likes” to this page. But….which type of Facebook page do you want to have? Which type of Facebook Page do you “like”? There are many ways you can build your fan base that won’t actually help your business prosper, so keep my tips in mind. The main key to building a fan base on your Facebook pages is having fans that will engage on your page. It sound obviously, while Facebook is the biggest social networking site. This means that you will have fans that will like your page, comment on posts and share posts because they want to socialize, not because they are being enticed to via a prize such as a free giveaway or coupon, they want to interact. But it all comes back to providing good content, good writing skills and good graphics in the first place. What is good and valuable content? If you want your fans to visit your page often and share it, then you need to make sure you offer content that’s of value. If you consistently provide top-notch content, your fan base will grow as your reach grows. In addition, the first time someone finds your page they’ll like what they see and want to read more of what you have to offer and so they are much more likely to ‘Like’ your page. Good content will play on your day-to-day life situations in your hometown and/or interests of your target market and should provoke a personal response immediately. You can relate to all kinds of content, asks for the opinion of users, and tells interesting stories or about events you have been visiting. What it does is create a “small town” attitude where users gather to socialize and find something interesting to engage with like minded people. If you are still unsure of how to create strong content, then have a look at some of the Facebook pages created and managed by large companies as an example how they made their pages, such as Proctor & Gamble or Coca Cola. You can create this kind of content by defining your target market and then determining what relevant topics are for that market. Here are the 10 useful secret Facebook tips to help you run a successful fan page that not only brings people to your page, but also helps you grow your fans and likes. #1. Make Sure You Offer Valuable Content If you want your fans to visit your page often and share it, then you need to make sure you offer content that’s of value.

Start With an Incredible Cover Photo The image at the top of your page can draw you in. It can capture your imagination and take you to some place beautiful. Make sure that you understand the importance of your cover photo and that you choose one that will work for you. There are tons of online resources to help you with this. #3. Create a Profile Image That’s Unique When it comes to profile pictures, we tend to stick a picture of ourselves up there and that’s that. But there is so much value in using a unique profile image that your audience will remember or associate with. Start with defining what your business about. Then try to create an image that is memorable and creates strong branding. Hire a visual artist if you need to. It’s worth it! #4. Create a Newsletter If you haven’t already taken the step to create a newsletter to send out to your customers and fans, then now is the perfect time to do just that. MailChimp along with other providers provide a simple newsletter solution. You can also post on your Facebook Page when your newsletter is available. If you do a good job, you can build yourself a list of growing fans to share your content with and to expand your fan base. #5. Post Regular and Engaging Posts Creating a post now and then isn’t good enough.
