How long should my tweet be? Or my blogpost? Or my headline? I ask this question a lot. It seems that others do, too. Our first take on coming up with the ideal length of all online content proved quite useful for a lot of people. I’d love to see if I can help make it even more useful. Along with all the best tips on optimal lengths for tweets, blogposts, headlines, and more, I’ve added a few additional lengths to the list—the ones that came up most often in the comments of the last post, like SlideShare length, Pinterest length, and more. And to make it just as easy as possible to consume all this information quickly and easily, we partnered with our friends at SumAll to place the data and insights into a fun infographic. Check it all out below.

Unlike those other pastimes, however, which have remained relatively unchanged over the years, the way we buy has evolved considerably. For example ... In 1914, you might've been tempted to buy a (non-branded) pastry after noticing a delicious smell emanating from the local bakery.

The article Americans Would Forfeit Cars, TV, and Sex for Their Tablets is an article that shows the importance of mobile marketing. The article states numerous statistics based on the survey about how significant tablets are to the consumers who own them. The survey stated that 91% of consumers who own tablets use them before bed while they are winding down. This measurement shows how beneficial it is to implement mobile marketing through social media, email and apps, considering the percentage of people who use tablets before bed. Companies could send out emails around 9 or 10PM so that the consumers see the emails before they go to bed. The highest percentage of people who own tablets are in the over $100k income per year demographic, but people of all incomes own the devices. This data suggests that marketers could target the higher income households for the greatest success rates generated through their advertisements. With the increasing popularity of tablets, it should be a must for marketers to target consumers using these mobile devices.

This is absolutely terrifying, an attention span of 8 minutes? Goldfish can do better - 9 minutes! It is certainly amzing how social media has begun to affect us mentally as well as physically! Do you get irritated whien your partner talks to you for a longe period of time? Does it feel as if you are forgetting something? Do you feel breathlesss, restless and somehow rushing things up so that you can check out your FB or Twitter updates? Do you take out your mobile during board meetings to check on updates on social sites? If you are doing all this, then you are certainly addicted to the internet and you need to go for counselling and de-addiction! But then this is not just about how we are affected mentally, it is also about that pain you have in your back, and that occasional stiff neck. What about that nagging ache you have been experiencing lately? Do I need to go on? Haven't we all felt the side effects of excess surfing on the net? Don't we know all this? But then we really like being addicted to something that makes us feel good, so what if we have become somewhat narcicist, so what, don't we deserve to pamper ourselves?

Social Media is more than just a way to stay connected to others or to pass time. These days it is more than anything like a drug to its users. Through constant notifications and updates, these social media sites are conditioning its users to rely on them for pleasure and validation. When people are saying it is harder to quit social media than it is smoking, you know there is a real issue here.
We are devoting more and more of our time per day to these sites, which is having a negative effect on our brain. It impairs one's ability to properly read and write, worsens recall memory and even fuels narcissism in its users. Consistent social media users get accustomed to auto-correct that they lose their ability to know how to spell words or use proper grammar. The narcissism comes from its users posting and sharing mostly about themselves and what they are thinking, doing, etc.
I believe social media is a great tool, especially for businesses to promote themselves. However, with all the personal noise from its users, it could be a tough road to navigate without having a game plan.

This lack of artistic ability poses a threat to my marketing career, especially now that visual content marketing is the ticket to success. Even though I have other creative traits, I'm worried I'll get left in the visual storytelling dust. I know I'm not alone. Luckily, we non-artists have a few tools to mask our lack of design talent. These tools are free, but often have advanced paid features for when you're ready to step up your game. They don't replace a designer's expertise, but you can use them for smaller projects, like blogs, social media graphics, or Slideshare templates....
