Don’t just join the crowd of voices criticising social media and online platforms as a breeding ground for moral decadence. Instead, use it to advance your own interests. The internet is one of the easiest places for one person to make a great impact for their business, career or community interests. Here are some #tips to get you started.




1. Promote posts and articles that you have enjoyed and that you think could benefit someone else. Most sites have the option to like, share or clap for articles. This not only adds to the popularity of something but is a great way to encourage the content creator and motivate them to do even more.

2. Invite your friends to share your interests. Forwarding things that you discover to be of interest to you is a great way to extend a following. It generates the same benefits as stated above.

3. Share your own ideas and interests. The internet is one of those places where amateurs thrive. There is so much opportunity for amateur writers, photographers or actors etc. If you have something that you enjoy, a hobby, special interests and so on, start talking about them online. Share pictures, short videos or memes.

4. Don’t be afraid to speak out. Negative comments are very powerful to any online discussion. Sometimes all it takes is for just one person to disagree with something, and the entire tone of the conversation can change. While it is important to be kind to people online, it is also good to disagree and express your disapproval of certain ideas.

5. Create your own space. Starting a blog or even website is so easy. Explore your options for an opportunity to create your own space on the web. Blogging and creating your own posts is a great way to share your own ideas and opinions.


In the 21st century you don’t have to be left out of any conversation on the global arena. From likes to blogs, you too can be a part of every conversation, and influence society from your little corner of the web.



So I have been trying to get the word out there as part of #BreastCancerAwareness month. I thought I should share this post of how Serena Williams also did her part for the cause.


37 year old tennis champion #Serena Williams has produced a video in support of breast cancer awareness. View the video below.



Well done Serena.


What are you going to do this month?

Not everyone wants to be a model on the cover of a magazine, but every #woman somehow wants to feel that they could be if they wanted to. We want to think we can be confident enough to hold a pose, make eye contact with any lens we face and be open to scrutiny of any kind.


And we can. All it takes is just some confidence.


Are you wondering how you can step up and be the confident woman you want to be?

Turn down all the negative voices in your life

It could be your mother/sister/friend/partner/boss. Negative comments are always going to give you pause, make you doubt. And the more you hear the more you pause and doubt, until pretty soon you cannot do anything right anymore. Turn off the negative talk. Refuse to listen to it.



Discover yourself


Sometimes it feels like we know more about our BFFs than ourselves. Who are you? Get to know yourself as if getting to know a friend. You’re worth the attention. You’ll be surprised to discover you have probably been selling yourself short.



Don't tell yourself short. Take time to discover yourself, and find out who you truly are.

Set the real you free


Have you been bending over backwards trying to please everyone and anyone, while compromising your worth, beliefs or abilities? Cut it out. Be yourself. Be who you know you can be. Stop holding yourself back and soar.


Stand up for yourself

Don’t back down from what you feel and believe to be true. Allow yourself to be adamant, even when you are in the minority. Don’t let yourself be tempted to fit in. Stand out. Take your own side, be your own cheerleader.



Stand up for yourself. Keep your head up!

Give yourself a break


Confidence is not perfection. You will be wrong sometimes, you will make mistakes too. But that doesn’t make you any less special than you really are. You are you, flaws and all. Embrace them, keep your head high.
