Social media; A quick website solution

Social media; A quick website solution

Pay any attention to social media? Think it's just a pastime to use up your monthly data allotment? Well, it can bejust that. But it can also be a good marketing tool, especially for a small business that has a limited budget formarketing. For many very small operations, sometimes even building a website is a step too far. Many smallbusinesses, especially individual sole proprietorships, may not have their own website. Social media platforms canbecome your de facto website, and make a pretty good stand-in for a small website. This can be especially true ifyour website is only informational. (you aren't actually using a website to sell products) Also for the provider ofservices, say legal, writing, etc, social media platforms may be just enough for you.

So what do we mean by social media? Mostly, we’re referring to the usual suspects, Linked in, Facebook, Instagram,Twitter.

Let’s look first at Linkedin. Linked in is the tamest of all the common platforms. It doesn't tend to be a place wherethere is a lot of give and take. There is less interaction, and the tone of the interaction tends to remain at a veryprofessional level. As we know, that isn’t always so true with other social media. At the absolute very least, everyoneshould have aLinkedin page for themselves. This serves as an online resume at the very least. Not having a page for yourself would belike not having a listing in the phone book (remember that??) Linkedin really is a requirement. And it would be a bitodd for someone not to be able to find you there.

It ensures that your data remains confidential and protected from unauthorized access.

Why Migrate to the Cloud

Why Migrate to the Cloud If you haven't already considered migrating your data storage to the cloud, you are probably in the minority of businesses. While it may seem intuitive that somehow your data is safer if it is stored “ at home,” on location at the site of your business, that probably is not correct. Given the ability of skilled cloud service providers to provide redundancy and a level of security unattainable by a small business, storing all your crucial business data on site using in-house support is probably akin to keeping your money under the mattress instead of a bank. In this blog, we’ll explain what cloud data storage means, and some reasons why it may be a good business decision. In addition, we’ll quickly note some reasons some people get nervous about the security of cloud storage. What is cloud data storage?
