Life Perspective: Reviews & More

  COVID 19 has turned our booming economy into a year of lockdowns. This has caused massive damage to businesses and workers. Unemployment numbers have skyrocketed, and many Americans need either a boost for their business or another source of income. This is where influencer marketing or becoming an influencer can help. Influencer marketing is a less expensive form of marketing using people with large followings on blogs, YouTube,  TikTok, social media, etc. to promote relevant products.  It isn't hard to become an influencer if you know how.  I have written an article on how becoming a faith-based influencer can bring in an extra income.

The old SEO tip about using keywords never was intended to mean writers should use the same word or combination of words in ever sentence. Keyword stuffing was NEVER a good writing technique and it was never part of proper SEO techniques. Stuffing keywords into every sentence did fool the search engine robots for a little while into ranking key-word stuffed articles a little higher, but those days were over YEARS AGO when robots became more intelligent. Now Google will penalize any articles that use keyword stuffing as well as the site those black-hat keyword stuffing articles appear on. And if you want to know what keyword stuffing is, just look at how many times I used the words keyword stuffing in the first two paragraphs. And I still see it frequently in blogs.

According to a web tool called Typealyzer which is of the personality tests and theories genre, this blog belongs to a group called, "The Performers." Typealyzer Quote: The entertaining and friendly type. They are especially attuned to pleasure and beauty and like to fill their surroundings with soft fabrics, bright colors and sweet smells. They live in the present moment and don´t like to plan ahead - they are always in risk of exhausting themselves. They enjoy work that makes them able to help other people in a concrete and visible way. They tend to avoid conflicts and rarely initiate confrontation - qualities that can make it hard for them in management positions.
