If you are content curator, it is fun and pleasurable to browse information on the web to find the good stuff.  But it could also be a way to procrastinate.    Here's a great tip on avoiding it - find a power hour - and devote one hour to an important task.


Questions:


Where in your life are you letting unnecessary “work” slow down your progress?
What actions take up the majority of your working day? Are these the things that will make you money or contribute to your goals?
How would turning one extra “working hour” per day into one “income-producing hour” change your income over the next month? Repeated consistently over the next year, what would that be worth to you?

"Learn why visual content is a critical part of your content creation strategy.

 

Here are some highlights:

 

**People remember only 20% of what they read

 

**83% of learning is visual

 

Condenses and Explains Large Amounts of Information

 

**Today, there is too much information on the Internet you have about 3 seconds to catch someone’s eyes so they'll consume your information.

 

Gives Your Brand an Identity

 

**Visual content draws people in, letting viewers better understand your brand's identity

**If you've ever read a book with a child, you probably know they find pictures more interesting than words; but are adults really that different?
