Capitalizing on Content is a web series focusing on things new entrepreneurs and business owners might not know about online marketing, media production and using social media. We are going to have topics ranging from how to get clients as a creative to how to get your own amazing looking website at a low cost. Online marketing and video is the way of the future and businesses still advertising on bus benches are starting to struggle. More and more of people’s attention is spent on their phones on social media and email and less and less in real life. This means marketers need to buy a chunk of this attention and social media is one of the best ways to do that. Be sure to follow along as we give you tips to help your business build and online presence and reach your ideal clients.
