How to get more TikTok views
Getting more TikTok views can be tricky, but it’s certainly doable. I started my TikTok channel in late 2023. For the first few months, I didn’t post often and my videos had between 500-1000 views with minimal engagement. However, between July and September 2024, I got almost 500,000 TikTok views for my videos. Getting more TikTok views is any creator or business’s goal who has a presence on TikTok. Yet, many struggle to achieve this. I will share some of the steps that I implemented that led to more TikTok views on my channel. Be authentic The most important principle is authenticity. There is too much generic and inauthentic content these days, and people loathe it. Authenticity is a rare trait in today’s world, and it is certainly valued by others. Be relatable People engage with content that they can relate to. Make sure that you prioritise relatability in your content creation strategy. Understand your audience. In doing so, as the following: What makes them happy? What makes them sad or angry? Embrace the trolls Once you get some traction, you will have trolls on your page. It simply doesn’t matter what your post is about. Sadly, there are people in the world with too much free time on their hands who take pleasure in bringing others down. Do not let them discourage you, humorously engage with them. Trolls hate seeing their tactics failing and this will keep them coming back to your page, which helps your content in the algorithm. Have a good content strategy Having the right content strategy is vital. Make sure you have a good roadmap of the content that you want to create. Your content strategy should consider all implications in terms of engagement, compliance with applicable laws as well as your resources. Want help in getting more TikTok views?

Actionable Steps: SEO Tip: Optimise case studies and testimonials with location-based keywords like “immigration consultant in [City]” or “successful visa applications for [Country]” to attract local search traffic. 3.

Immigration Law Marketing | 3 Tips for Immigration Professionals & Firms
Immigration law marketing can be complex, given the common practice areas as well as the diverse audience range that it targets. In this article, I will share 3 tips that help immigration law marketers build solid marketing campaigns. Immigration law, in contrast to certain other legal areas, changes on a rapid scale. This can be challenging for immigration professionals and lawyers within the compounds of their work, let alone their marketing. In addition, the mere fact that there are thousands of firms advertising the same services for the same legal framework is a marketing challenge. As an example, let’s consider the simple example below in the area of legal SEO: The UK launches a new visa stream (for example: “Startup Visa”). Shortly after, there are 1000s of firms seeking to dominate the Google search space for this specific keyword. Moreover, the audience that immigration law marketing targets are global, based overseas and culturally and linguistically diverse. These are among the challenges that are unique to immigration law marketing. However, don’t despair. Implement the 3 tips below to ace your legal marketing. 1. Create unique content Yes, generic. However, this is often neglected by immigration law marketers. Whilst it is essential to create content that is centred around the key visa themes, you must go beyond this. By unique content, I am referring to content that is unique to a particular audience segment/niche. For example, your firm may primarily deal with asylum cases from clients in conflict-ridden countries. You will then cater your content to: 2. Collaborate with other industry stakeholders Migrants’ needs may go beyond legal assistance. As such, there are external companies and services designed for them. Your firm can collaborate in areas such as content creation, PR, and communications with other relevant parties for mutually beneficial brand promotion. 3. Create (more) videos Most agree that a real person behind a company is likely to build more trust than just written content. Focus on creating videos incorporating the above tips and watching your leads grow. If you’re camera-shy, or simply cannot create videos for whatever reason, some tools will generate videos with people. These 3 tips will help you improve your immigration law marketing campaigns.

Why SEO is more than just a marketing strategy?
The consensus around SEO is viewing it as another marketing tool and strategy. However, this view is thoroughly incorrect; SEO’s function and impact go far beyond mere marketing. Okay so before I explain the vast functions of SEO, let’s go over what is and entails. What is SEO? Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the process and practices that aim to increase a specific webpage and/or website’s presence and exposure within internet search engines. As you may be aware, the most popular search engine in the world is Google. Therefore a considerable number of services and literature around SEO revolve specifically around Google. SEO as a marketing strategy In the modern age, our first source of information online is Google/search engines. Hence, it is not a surprise that plenty of marketing campaigns are based on search marketing. First of all, It is important to distinguish between SEO and SMO (social media optimization). Secondly, for the sake of clarity, this article will primarily focus on SEO and the role of search engines. SEO enables businesses to gain exposure to local and international audiences, using a range of metrics in doing so. SEO | brand identity and reputational factor What others say about a business is important, unless you are dealing with an organized smear campaign. Note that in the heading I used the word “identity”. SEO is closely aligned with the “identity” factor both in an individual and corporate context. As I stated before, the main method through which we obtain information about a person or company is by Google/search engines. What appears about you and your business online is the first “picture” that portrays your individual and/or corporate identity. SEO demonstrates competence In line with the previous point about brand identity, SEO reveals more than elementary information about an entity. For instance, say you are looking for a specific service and/or product. Most individuals do not look beyond page 1 of Google’s search results. Why? You can partly blame it on laziness. However, I argue that it’s the principle of ‘trust” involved in this scenario. When an individual or company has a strong SEO presence, it (correctly) creates an indirect reflection of its competence. SEO is integral to inbound marketing I recently wrote an article highlighting the importance of inbound marketing. To keep it brief, I argued that today’s world is hyper-competitive, and therefore you require innovative approaches to marketing. As such, inbound marketing and specifically industry/subject knowledge is an efficient activity within the inbound marketing domain. SEO is the bridge between thought leadership and prospects becoming aware of the thought leader. If you need help with SEO, content writing, or online reputation management, get in touch with me today. About | My name is Sohrab Vazir. I’m a UK-based entrepreneur and business consultant. At the age of 22, and while I was an international student (graduate), I started my own Property Technology (PropTech) business, StudyFlats.

The amazing power of inbound marketing
Inbound marketing is extremely underrated, especially when it comes to larger organizations. The reasoning behind this is clear: we live in an impatient business world, and inbound marketing is a long-term strategy. In this article, I wish to briefly highlight what inbound marketing is. I will then proceed to explain why it is not optional but essential to implement an appropriate inbound marketing strategy. What is inbound marketing? So, to provide a full overview, I will define inbound marketing in two ways: Definition 1 | Formal & academic Inbound marketing refers to strategies and practices that discuss, evaluate and correlate with the audience needs, wants and psychological profile (yes, I came up with this myself and did not steal it from somewhere else). Definition 2 | Informal Inbound marketing is about creating content for your audience and reaching out to them without talking about what you sell. The key factor is content creation. This can be in various forms such as SEO, email marketing, video creation, guest posts, research, webinars and so on. The purpose of content creation within an inbound marketing strategy is to resonate with your audience’s wants and needs. The business world, sadly, is guilty of a key marketing flaw. Inbound marketing is often compromised for outbound marketing and direct sales Arguably, the majority of companies often focus on direct marketing methods and generating full life-cycle leads themselves. This article is not to devalue outbound marketing and direct contact methods. However, one goal of this piece is highlighting the current dynamics of the business/marketing world. In doing so, I wish to reflect on how inbound marketing can be leveraged as a primary strategy for each business. We live in a hyper-competitive world Have a new business idea? Somebody has already come up with it. Have a cool new brand name in mind? Somebody else has thought of it already. Launched a new business? There’s a good chance there is a comparative competitor. Already scaling? So is your competitor…… The above serves as a brief verbal demonstration of the global environment in which business is conducted. We are living in the age of “innovation”. From a small business perspective. Everyone has access to the enhanced commercial technologies today, such as Shopify. Therefore, everyone is now somehow self-legitimised to be known as a “businessperson” or a “CEO”. And sometimes, there’s no issue with that, everybody has to start somewhere. The point of this is to show that it’s now somehow about “what” you sell, but “how” you sell it. Likewise, larger corporations also ought to be innovative in their marketing agendas. The issue with outbound marketing is that it is easily replicable and overly used by all stakeholders, from companies to other marketing stakeholders such as agencies. Innovation cannot be applied to “cold calling” per se. Unless you wish to sing people a song on the phone, which I would strongly advise against. Inbound marketing is innovative In contrast, inbound marketing leaves a great amount of room for creativity. One basic, and advanced, example is a website’s blog / SEO. You can use your blog for so much. However, you would be impressed to see how far subject knowledge combined with SEO proficiency can get you. Plus, this approach to marketing allows you to target your specific audience by using subject awareness and thought leadership. Generate loyal prospects Building on the last point and the early definition provided, inbound resonates with a consumer’s needs and mindset. In the context of written content/SEO in an inbound campaign, it is the consumer who is seeking content on a particular subject. This particular subject also somehow pertains to the work of the company. Let’s consider an example: my work as a business consultant working with skilled migrants. I write blogs on issues such as business visa policies. I’m not an immigration lawyer, nor a government representative. However, these are subjects that my prospects / future clients are interested in, and frankly so am I in my own case. This practice has not only attained clients, but also warm qualified leads, as well as prospects on social media such as LinkedIn followers. Cost-efficient (but not time-efficient) Outbound marketing has the advantage of generating results in the short-term. However, those results come at a cost, such as time, staff, planning and more. Outsourcing is accordingly a costly option too. However, inbound marketing, mainly requires “subject knowledge”. Therefore, there is this added element of “skill” within this strategy. However, it can generally be done at a more cost-efficient arrangement. And this principle applies to a range of stakeholders, from solo founders to large organizations. Nonetheless, developing successful inbound marketing campaigns and achieving results take time. It is important that entrepreneurs and companies adopt inbound marketing strategies with a thorough awareness of its long-term nature. Inbound marketing can be a game changer for your business.

8 skills that will help you succeed in business and employment
The business and employment skills landscape is constantly evolving. Therefore, it’s crucial to keep on top of your game and ensure you develop the right skills to succeed in business or employment, regardless of being an entrepreneur or employee. You have probably wondered what skills makes people successful in business and employment. And there is never a straight forward answer as it is a combination of multiple factors. However, it is indisputable that you need to have the right skills to succeed in either business or employment. In this article, I will highlight 8 skills that will contribute to your self-development and ultimately succeeding in business and employment. Articulation & communication Almost every aspect of business and employment boils down to communication and the “people” factor. Whether it’s sales, leading a team or a job interview, communication is a core element. Success in business and employment is highly dependent on fostering mutually beneficial relationships. Therefore, it’s a skill that you must actively develop. Now you notice that I used the verb “articulation” here, and it’s because you may be a good communicator, yet lack articulation. Being articulate is an evolving progression that will come with time, and it encompasses both verbal and written communication. Moreover, being articulate is subjective. For instance, the use of the correct words is fundamentally important to being articulate. Your choice of words will significantly differ if you are presenting at a sustainability conference, in contrast to presenting to a team of junior salesmen. Articulation boils down to identifying the correct language for your audience and applying it with confidence. Cultural awareness We live in a globalised world, whether you like it or not. Being culturally aware not only opens doors to new opportunities, but it is also important in being a good communicator (refer to the first point above). If you live in a multi-cultural society, which applies to most developed countries, cross-cultural awareness is a vital skill to master in both business and employment. Critical thinking Success in business and employment is, in many instances, reliant on problem-solving. Unfortunately, one shortcoming of educational systems is not enabling pupils to develop this skill, and encouraging a one-dimensional perspective. Critical thinking skills enable you to see the bigger picture, identify problems and solutions and subsequently influence others, whether in business or employment. Confidence Ever heard of the phrase “nice guys finish last”? Well let me elaborate: niceness is not bad in itself. However, in many scenarios, niceness derives from a lack of confidence. Sadly, I had to learn this one the hard way, as I was a “nice” person before and it only allowed others to cross my (non-existent) boundaries and take advantage of my “niceness”. Again, I am not telling you to be a jerk. However, it is important to understand your strengths and weaknesses as an individual and build relationships based on mutual value. Remember: today’s world is extremely competitive and there are many not-so-nice people out there. By mastering confidence as a skill, you will set better boundaries and form better relationships. Financial literacy Financial literacy is a skill that is mostly relevant to business and entrepreneurship in a professional context. And it really does not need to be explained in detail as any venture’s success will ultimately depend on its financial health. However, this does not mean that it is not applicable to your personal life. Being financially literate will enable you to avoid stress, create more opportunities and achieve better health. Legal competency Okay, now I am not asking you to do a law degree or read every single legislation that exists. However, both business and employment operate within legal frameworks, and it’s a skill that will get you far. The key principle here is awareness of the existing legislations, your rights, obligations and applying critical thinking to them (see above) Sales I have run two businesses over the last seven years. One lesson that I have learned is that “cash is king”. The purpose, or one of the primary purposes, of business and employment is making money. Nevertheless, allow me to be clear that “sales” skills is not just limited to selling products/services. I am also referring to sales in an interpersonal context. I’ll break it down by asking and answering these two simple questions: How do you make money? By selling How do you land your dream job? By selling yourself and your competencies Writing Writing skills are, in most cases, crucial for succeeding in business and employment. Writing competencies are vital in becoming a better communicator, and communicating your thoughts, values and skills. Whether it’s writing your resume, cover letter, a blog article on your website or an email to a client, writing skills will help you a lot. About | My name is Sohrab Vazir.

3 things to consider when hiring SEO copywriters
You’ve decided to look into hiring SEO copywriters. The word “saturated” would perhaps be an understatement to describe this sector. Hence, finding the best SEO copywriter(s) can be challenging. SEO is crucial if your business has a digital presence, which it most likely does. The obvious reason is that online searching, particularly Google, is where customers will find your business. However, another key importance of SEO is that it helps you communicate with your audience through content. With the latter in mind, I will emphasise the “content” aspect as it will be a major factor in hiring SEO copywriters. The purpose of hiring SEO copywriters should be the creation of content that: Personally, during my time managing my PropTech startup, StudyFlats, I made several mistakes with hiring SEO copywriters. I worked with both freelance writers as well as my own in-house marketing team. These are the three things that I’d recommend considering when hiring SEO copywriters: I. Writing portfolios An obvious one. Past work is a good indicator of the type of standards that you can expect. There are external websites such as Contently that freelance SEO writers use to create their own portfolios. Check mine HERE. II. Familiarity with your industry This may not be the ultimate deciding factor. Creating SEO-optimised content mainly requires expertise and superb writing skills. Hence, a skilled SEO copywriter should normally be able to create engaging content regardless of their past experience. However, it is undeniable that past work and experience specifically in your industry is a positive factors when hiring SEO copywriters. III. Demeanour and attitude Hiring SEO copywriters may be far from being similar to hiring employees. Nevertheless, it’s important to understand that working with a copywriter is still a business relationship. Moreover, you do not want to work with a professional who may be good at what they do but have a negative attitude. Let’s look at some of the attitude green and red flags in a copywriter: Green flags Red flags Respectful & professional behaviour Rude & unprofessional (e.g. late responses, general bad attitude) Client testimonials & reviews No reviews or testimonials from previous clients (albeit there are exceptions) Takes time to understand your business & allows you to explain your issues in details Does 95%of the talking / Asks little or no questions about your business / Self-centred & one-sided dialogue These are the three top things to consider when hiring SEO copywriters.
