Here’s a trick that I use for my ecommerce businesses. For every product and product category for my stores, I have done the research to see which are the most popular Instagram hashtags around those product categories. I came up with 15-20 popular hashtags for each category of products I sell, as well as a base of 5-10 popular tags that describe my brand and product offering overall. Finally, I also created a list of popular local specific hashtags that relate to my brand. I can easily open my Evernote and copy my standard brand, product and location specific hashtags to post with each photo. Some Instagram scheduling tools also let you save caption templates that you can use to store your hashtag groups.

There is the direct question of whether relationships continue to flourish in the internet age. Are there the same kinds of ties – in both quantity and quality – that flourished in pre-internet times? Do people have more or fewer relationships? Do they have more or less contact with friends and relatives? Does the ability of the internet to connect instantly around the world mean that far-flung ties now predominate over neighborly relations? More broadly, does internet contact take away from people’s in-person contacts or add to them?

Bebuzee is the way forward in the world of social media. We are an emerging Social Network, with a small loyal team with massive hunger and strength of mind, competing to become potentially one of the most prosperous Social Networks to rock the world.

Well over a billion people use Facebook and Twitter and now the recently formed Ello. Discover even more info at https://www.bebuzee.com/.

If Blonde Ambition which is an independent film was a failure at the American box office, but a success in other countries, it remains no less cult and here are the reasons.

First: her casting. Jessica Simpson plays the sparkling Katie Gregerstistch perfectly and I love seeing her on screen. As for Luke Wilson, who interprets Ben, a reserved man, I think they are very well together. The character of Mr Connelly, camped by Larry Miller is incredible as a busy business leader, not to mention Peneloppe Ann Miller and Andy Dick as villains of the story, who do everything to sabotage Richard and Katie, they are just beautiful.

The character of Ben, played by Drew Fuller is as well played, when to the character of Willie Nelson in the role of Papi, he brings a paternal touch to the story, which makes the story touching. But for me, my favorite character is Betty, played by Karen Mcclain whom I love. She is just phenomenal!! Thank you Karen, you are magical !!! Special mention to Rachael Leigh Cook, whose character of Hailie is very well played too !!

Second: his story has a lot to do with his cult status, because even though it was announced that it was a kind of remake of «Working Girls», it makes me think more of «Legally Blonde», about the fact that Katie, a naive girl, was dumped by her boyfriend and changes of life just like Elle Woods in the revenge of a blonde and just for that fact, it gives a hell of a wink to the film, especially as Luke Wilson also played in the revenge of a blonde.

The scene where Katie is having lunch at the restaurant with Debra and Freddy reminds me of “Miss Congeniality” or Sandra Bullock eating with Victor. Kathie also cites her native department Oklahoma, which can also make a reference to the 1955 movie where a cowboy loves two women, which is the case with kathie when she’s dressed as a cowgirl, but invites ben to throw the amber party, without it being a date, because she thinks too much about her old boyfriend Billy. When Katie and Ben take the Norwegians to a bar, they dress up as Vikings and I saw a nod to the movie “The Vikings” of 1958 with Kirk Douglas and Tony Curtis.

The scene of Katie’s makeover reminds me of the movie « Clueless », « Miss Congeniality », or « The Princess Diaries ». Watching Katie bend over backwards for Debra reminds me of “The Devil Dresses in Prada”, because “Anne Hattaway also does the same thing in this film with “Meryl Streep”.

In addition, the character «Ben» who says before bringing a pizza to Katie «you have a preference for the guys in the mail», made me smile, because it is a direct reference to an old Jessica Simpson movie: « Employee of the Month», when the character played by Jessica in the movie had a crush only for the employees of the month.

If the film says a few times that you have to read between the lines”, it’s not from one character to another character that they say that, but it’s the characters to the viewers, what causes a 4th wall and proves that this film is absolutely as well written, as awesome and just for that, it is cult !!

Thanks to the whole team for making this film!! Discover additional details on Blonde Ambition movie trailer.

Themacj or the upsurge of a rap star: As a young child, Themacj would often be very active and cause a lot of trouble growing up. He would often beatbox around the household and rap the lyrics of famous rappers such as, “Eminem”, “50 Cent”, “Ludacris”, “Snoop Dog” & “Lil Wayne”. Themacj started to play a game called “Guitar Hero’’ which vastly improved his music abilities, he later then developed those skills into playing the drums. Going into his last year of high school, Themacj began to produce his own beats as he was starting to hoan his rapping skills, which turned into him mixing and mastering his own songs years later.

Toronto has become an epicenter of hip-hop ever since the 2010s began, and as the new decade begins a whole new number of artists are rising from the city to take center stage. Themacj is a twenty-four-year-old emcee who brings everything to the table that you would want to see from a technical aspect, and leaves nothing behind when it comes to the heart and soul of his records. See even more info on Themacj no fear.

Along his journey, Themacj has met up with diamond selling record producer “Boi1da” and took some learning tips to add on to his production. Themacj has just recently opened up for famous rappers “Dizzy Wright” & ”Madchild”. With his wide range of crazy flows, sharp lyrics, deeply layered metaphors, amazing production & clean audio engineering abilities, Themacj is destined to make his way onto the top.

Citing artists like Eminem, Lil Wayne, Big Sean, Joyner Lucas and Hopsin as his key influences, themacj’s music can best be described as a blend of many different types of flows which are accompanied by metaphorical content based on real-life scenarios.

“I’ve made great strides, but I’m not one to stop or back down from a challenge” said themacj. “My mission is to tell my story and share it with the world through my music and lyrics. I believe that we all can collectively connect through the powerful feelings found in rap music in particular, and identify with the experiences described in the rhymes, verses and beats that make the whole listening experience feel transcendental.”

“I’m here to stay, and my fans can look forward to many more exciting collaborations, new tracks and live appearances in the near future.” We think that Themacj is destined for the top of the hip-hop music charts.

Expo trade show exhibits? Since booth sizes are limited, you have to be creative and make your walls part of the branding strategy you have in mind. Customize them to grab the attention of the attendees and remain memorable. Think beyond wall signages and banners. Branding is very crucial in trade show marketing as you just don’t want your booth to be remembered; you want your company to be unforgettable too. So, get creative on how you can make the personality of your brand shine through digital and tangible displays.

Most importantly, create an experience that will keep people at your booth and make them come back for more. You can create a schedule of events at the booth, such as product demos, guest-speaker hosted sessions, theme-based meetups, and happy hours. You could also go all out and create an “event within an event” with things like celebrity workout classes, mixology lessons and cooking classes with prominent chefs. And now that you have all these great things going on at your booth, make sure you are finding ways to promote it and all this exciting activity. Most trade show organizers will offer ways to advertise on the platform, so take advantage of these opportunities and fill up your booth with visitors. You could also expand your reach by posting your booth events on your social media channels.

Our 10×10 Truss trade show booths provide a modern, professional, and industrial appearance at any trade show event. They require NO TOOLS for set up and some can even be reconfigured in multiple ways using the same parts. With a fully recyclable steel frame, our Truss kits are both an economical and eco-friendly exhibit choice. Our Slatwall displays are lightweight and are perfect for clients needing shelving or slatwall for merchandise. Capatible with all industry standard hardware, our Slatwall booths offer both strength and flexibility while still weighing 50% LESS than standard slatwall displays. Find extra info on Infinity Exhibits.

Remember that the banner or sign you use on your trade show booth is not that big. As a result, you won’t be able to fit all of the information you want about your exhibitions. If you’re going to add text, you need to keep it minimal. Not only will a lot of text muck up the overall look of your banner, but it probably will make people less inclined to read it or come see what you have. It is not a brochure for your brand or company; it’s just a sign. And while this particular sign is an important one, you have to be clear and simple with what you put on it. The point of the sign is to draw people in so that you can talk about what you have, so why would you want to include all of that on the sign itself? This defeats the purpose of having you there at all!

Infinity Exhibits offers affordable storage at our Vegas & Sarasota facilities and can also assist with storage in between shows throughout the US. Not committed to purchasing a booth? Our all inclusive rental services include rental of the exhibit, install/dismantle at the show, and shipping to and from the show. Our Trade show displays are designed using the most cost effective materials that are durable, functional and create a great impression. Our lightweight and compact designs drastically reduce shipping. Find even more details at Infinity Exhibits.

Nick Ayton or the rise of a high tech influencer… Nick Ayton and the crypto generation: As a sixties child, I was aware of this loud revolution, the music, the fashion and the different way of thinking, and yes, I hated the Beatles’ and Elvis’ music and still do. But they played their part. It was The Time in the 20th Century to be alive, to be involved, to make your mark as the London scene demonstrated. Even the FBI and MI5 perceived this as an infection as something they had to deal with. A new liberalism, a new permissiveness was sweeping the western world as society broke with post-war years and the young started to shape the world we have today.

A worldwide acknowledged tech thought leader, Nick works with boards to help them overcome the pervasive nature of new technologies that include Quantum Computing, Artificial Intelligence, QuantumAI, Nano Materials, VR and Blockchain, as opportunities and threats for business operating model improvement, customers and the top line growth. Nick Ayton has spent more than 4 decades in technology, trasforming businesses and deploying the newest tech for competitive advantage. He has the knack of making the complex feel familiar and gets to the issue quickly. He gets you thinking and helps you take action, to have the right plans in place for what is to come. Nick Ayton has worked in technology for 35 years with a background in Computer Science, Product Development, Sales and Restructuring. He was involved in 8 tech starts and used to be a corporate citizen holding senior roles in some of the largest IT Services, BPO and Tech companies over a career spanning more than 30 years.

“Nick is one of the few people that can explain the complex so I can immediately grasp its importance.” We specialise on decentralised operating models and have created a set of tools and methodologies for design and deployement. Nick Ayton has published several White Papers discussing how Blockchain will disrupt Global Custody, Asset Management, Legal Services, Accounting & Audit, Banking and several other sectors. His book – how to design and implement Blockchain Operating Models will be available in the second half of 2017. Discover more info on Nick Ayton.

A luxury car dealership in Japan now accepts Bitcoin as a payment method through renowned cryptocurrency exchange BitFlyer. According to the company, customers can easily pay for their next prospective vehicle in a matter of minutes — which certainly beats conventional means of buying vehicles, like obtaining finance through a bank. While a Lamborghini may be the goal, people have been able to purchase a wide variety of vehicles, from affordable hatchbacks to luxury sports cars, with cryptocurrency for some time now. While this dealership is driving forward a new payment model, it’s not the first time people have been able to buy cars with crypto. In December last year, a Manchester car owner listed a gold-colored Rolls Royce on Autotrader, which could only be purchased with Bitcoin. BlockShow Asia 2017 also provided the stage for BitCar to promote their platform, which allows people to buy and sell exotic cars like Lambos using cryptocurrency.

Nick Ayton about crypto app tokes : In Blockchain nobody knows how long you have, 12, 24, or 36 months…as things are already moving very fast… I speak to management all the time and I don’t know where they get their information. They seem to have a crystal ball and be very well informed, and yes many have heard of Blockchain, but their conclusion there is nothing to worry about, apparently they have 5 to 10 years – Pulitzer Prize winner, Thomas Friedman’s phrase ‘I’ll be gone, You’ll be gone’ sums it up nicely. In other words, when the &*%$ hits the fan, I will be retired. But as regulation changes, directors will be held accountable and bonuses will be paid back from your retirement home wherever you may settle.

Bankruptcy attorney Houston: A Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows you to keep your stuff and get on a more affordable repayment plan with your creditors. You’ll need to have enough income to afford the payments and be below the maximum total debt limits (currently nearly $400,000 for unsecured debts and $1 million-plus for secured debts). A court will approve the Chapter 13 repayment plan, which usually lasts three to five years, and your trustee will collect your payments and disburse them to your creditors. Once you finish the plan, the remainder of the unsecured debts is discharged.

Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC): Millions of lower-income people take this credit every year. However, 25% of taxpayers who are eligible for the Earned Income Tax Credit fail to claim it, according to the IRS. Some people miss out on the credit because the rules can be complicated. Others simply aren’t aware that they qualify. The EITC is a refundable tax credit—not a deduction—ranging from $529 to $6,557 for 2019. The credit is designed to supplement wages for low-to-moderate income workers. But the credit doesn’t just apply to lower income people. Tens of millions of individuals and families previously classified as “middle class”—including many white-collar workers—are now considered “low income” because they: lost a job, took a pay cut, or worked fewer hours during the year. The exact refund you receive depends on your income, marital status and family size. To get a refund from the EITC you must file a tax return, even if you don’t owe any taxes. Moreover, if you were eligible to claim the credit in the past but didn’t, you can file any time during the year to claim an EITC refund for up to three previous tax years.

Make 401(k) and HSA Contributions: People can make tax deductible contributions to traditional IRAs up to April 15 of next year. However, the door closes on Dec. 31 for 401(k) and health savings account contributions. “It’s a hard stop,” says Wendy Barlin, a Los Angeles-based CPA and author of “That’s Deductible!: Simple Tips and Tricks to Find More Business Tax Deductions.” “Whatever opportunities you have at work (for retirement savings), make sure you maximize them before the end of the year,” she says. Taxpayers with a qualified high-deductible family health insurance plan can deduct up to $7,000 in contributions to a health savings account. Individuals with self-only coverage can deduct $3,500. Those age 55 or older are eligible for an additional $1,000 catch-up contribution. Tax deductible contributions to a traditional 401(k) are capped at $19,000 for 2019. Workers age 50 and older can make an additional $6,000 in catch-up contributions.

Chapter 13 bankruptcy is like Chapter 11, which applies to businesses. In both cases, the petitioner submits a reorganization plan that safeguards assets against repossession or foreclosure and typically requests forgiveness of other debts. They both differ from the more extreme Chapter 7 filing, which liquidates all assets except those specifically protected. No bankruptcy filing eliminates all debts. Child support and alimony payments aren’t dischargeable, nor are student loans and unpaid taxes. But bankruptcy can clear away many other debts, though it will likely make it harder for the debtor to borrow in the future.
