Advancement in technology has made it possible for people all over the world to connect with one another with so much ease. Someone in Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa or anywhere else for that matter can now easily communicate in real time with someone in Australia using a smartphone – for business or social reasons.

 

And while it is wonderful to be able to get connected to people with ease, individuals are now beginning to ask two important questions…

 

Question 1. “Is it possible to run a business with your smartphone?”

 

Yes! Yes! Yes!

 

It’s not only possible but several people are already making money from businesses they started and run using a smartphone.

 

And why is this so?

“What are the best high-paying digital skills to learn in 2021?” is one question that’s on the mind of many people looking to upskill and gain high-income skills in 2021 to make more money, either as a freelancer or become more valuable as an employee.

The skills considered to be “high-paying skills” in the past may not be fit to be called as high-income digital skills in 2021.

The skills that were in-demand in 2015 are different from what organisations are looking for today.  This is because of the fast-paced nature of technology.

how to promote your business on social media

I know you want to know how to promote your business on social media, and that is what I am going to show you let’s go.

There was a time when social media marketing was a strange and wonderful idea conceived in the minds of people who wanted to change the world. Back then, the only way anyone could market their business was through word of mouth. You make one customer happy and within days, about twenty other people will want to patronize you.

Close friends and relatives were reliable marketers as well and they really helped us to make sales. We reaped several benefits from the many friends we had and the people they told about our business.
Social media marketing came into the scene and shook the business world. Right now, anyone can sell their products themselves with some basic knowledge about social media marketing. Knowledge of social media marketing is pivotal to the success of any business.

In 2005, only about 50% of Americans used social media. Today that number has increased to 70%.

In 2018, there were approximately 29.3 million social network users in Nigeria, and this figure is projected to grow to 36.8 million in 2023. But, at the present time, the percentage is about 32.4 million users.

There are millions of people who make use of social media and social media marketing has become the diamond mine of the business world. Thus, making it a great deal to promote your business on social media.
