If your business engages in Facebook, you may have noticed that the reach of your posts has declined recently. This is due to a change in the algorithm that Facebook has put into place. Digital Consulting Agency, Social@Ogilvy analyzed 100+ brand pages and found that the average reach of organic posts had declined from 12% in October to 6% in February. Some pages are seeing their reach drop to about 2%. I wouldn’t be surprised if one day organic reach drops to zero.

15 Essential Editing Tips Every Content Creator Needs to KnowCopyblogger.com
Has your brilliant content still not scored you that dream writing position, lucrative business partnership, or sweet recognition among your peers and target audience? It might be your editing. Check out these 15 editing tips to shine up your content and make it glow.
Estimates of the 2011 corporate e-learning market range from $26bn to $35bn worldwide. The best companies also spend more on e-learning relative to the total training budget. Yet, according to a CrossKnowledge survey of these global corporations, e-learning completion rates average barely 30-40%. These problems also span across to the education industry, where schools want to continue engage our generation gamers beyond classroom settings.
Why hasn't e-learning been a runaway success? Going digital is not enough. Going mobile is not enough. Simply bringing the material into a new medium doesn't change how users interact with it by itself. Instead of flogging the dead horse of e-learning content, it's time to focus on the learner. Digital and mobile platforms still have untapped potential for engaging learners, and gamification is one example of how we can leverage these capabilities to truly improve stickiness and retention.
Gametize uses game psychology to understand the problems behind e-learning. Only by connecting with the people doing the learning itself can we fix the problem of why e-learning seems to be stuck in a rut. Gamification taps on everybody's intrinsic motivation to have fun to make learning as easy and engaging as a game. Keith will explain why gamification is a lot more scientific than the term suggests and hence why gamification is the next big thing. Next, he will run through some basic gamification frameworks and real-life examples of how to effectively leverage on game psychology to increase engagement. He will describe B2E (Business to Employees) engagement with gamification with an in-depth successful stories and case studies of Standard Chartered Bank, and a mobile app game targeted primary to secondary school students in Ace Entrepreneurship Week 2012, both implemented by Gametize.
If a tree falls in the forest and nobody is around to hear it, does it make a sound? What about if you have the most brilliant design or idea but nobody wants to hear it, does it make your customers happy? Creating beautiful, brilliant and elegant designs that never get launched doesn’t help our company or our customers.
One of the biggest challenges we face is convincing other people that our design, feature and product ideas are great. We can create the most elegant user experience yet totally fail because it never saw the light of day with our customers.
Aurelius co-founder and CEO Zack Naylor, covers how we can set our ideas up for success from the very beginning. We discuss how to truly understand and present our ideas to stakeholders so that we can sell our ideas! And deliver a brilliant user experience in our products and services!
AppSumo has quickly grown into a successful business. In less than 5 years they've grown their email list to 750,000! Pretty amazing.

Have a look to understand how they use sales copywriting, and you can use these ideas on your site.

Inside Consumers' Mind - A whitepaper by Reading RoomReading Room
The pace of change is increasing with disruption driven by relentless technological advancement. It requires organisations to deliver real products and services quickly, as well as respond to issues as they arise throughout projects.
This requires an agile consultancy and delivery approach engineered to embrace change, powered by a combination of strategy, technology and multidisciplinary consultancy, such as digital psychology.
Therefore, we are presenting this whitepaper to help you understand why and how digital psychology can help you glean insight into user behaviours and intent, create more relevant content and user experiences to reach the right audiences, and keep up with the changing digital landscape.

Content Marketing 101 (and how to write a kick ass blog post)Cake and Arrow
In recent years, content marketing has come to replace traditional marketing as the most effective method of achieving business objectives and driving sales. This presentation defines content marketing, describes how it works, and explores interesting examples of successful content marketing that push the boundaries of traditional marketing. The final section also includes some tips and strategies for writing compelling content.
Chapter 1 is all about the social customer. I highlight several case studies and reports that will give you a firm understanding of how difficult it is to reach them with the right content, at the right time in the right channel. With emergence of multiple screens, new social platforms and networks or the fact that many customers, including me, suffer from CADD (Consumer Attention Deficit Disorder); it’s very difficult to get your brand heard, seen or interacted with; and almost impossible to be talked about.
Make sure all the brand pieces fit together to perfectly establish your brand identity. Your Brand Snapshot, which is my version of a brand book or brand bible, will help create a common understanding of your brand among everyone who works on or with it.

Why ux writing is a crucial skill to learn in 2020Quovantis

He wanted us to understand what role content plays in user experience. In this presentation, we have tried to discuss this topic in detail, along with the tools that can help one become a better UX writer.

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.

Over the span of five years, I've been fortunate to acquire a wealth of knowledge under the guidance of esteemed professors and industry mentors.

This portfolio not only showcases my projects but also underscores my attention to detail and to innovative architecture as a profession.

A tale about our culture around the use of fertilizers and pesticides visiting small farms around Ahmedabad in Matar and Shilaj.
2. BRANDis a set of expectations,
memories, stories and relationships that in
combination drives the decision of choosing
the particular company, product or service.
Seth Godin
Legendary Marketer
3. The first touch point of your brand becomes the
perception for the customer. For example, a FMCG
product like a head wash, the first time you see the
bottle lying at the grocery store you like to grab it and
read about it. That is the first time a brand is
perceived!
The same way, in digital world, the moment a
visitor opens your website, landing page,
Facebook or Twitter page, you create a
perception in the visitors mind and a decision
of re-visiting or not.
-----------------------
------------------
5. Brand perception Vs Reality
According to recent Gallop survey, American
public perceives that 23% of American are
Lesbian and Gays but in actual only 3.8
percent of the people are lesbian, gay or
transgender. That’s a huge difference
between reality and perception.
6. We did the same!
You can get advantage of this, you can
come across as a brand which is being
perceived as a thought leader with just
few fixes in the designs you create.
7. Story line
Product
A performance management product used for 360 degree review,
setting SMART goals and giving peer reviews.
Business Requirement
Capture the leads through a landing page and make
the target audience understand the importance of goal alignment.
9. Brand Perception- A lot of information confuses the visitor and might even switches off
the user.
QTip: Humans understand visually better, their brain doesn’t want to do extra work to
read!
10. Brand Perception: The difficulty to read the below test makes the user agitated and makes them fell that you are trying to
hide something behind the text.
Qtip: Make sure if you are using headlines, sub-headings or pointers to explain something take care they are in genuine
ratio.
11. Brand Perception: This gives the brand perception of incompleteness. You need to complete the page and give a good
ending to the story. Without an end the story doesn’t end!
Qtip: There needs to be a story in the design a starting and a complete ending.
12. What changed the perception
Paying attention to every big or small element. Let’s see…

16. Giving the reason for the user to sign-up by adding trusted experts

removed
