Hello, Buddy!
Omg TikTok just launched another image sharing app and they’re trying to mimic Instagram.
It’s called ‘Whee’, that’s a weird name if you ask me. But, I mean, even ‘Tik Tok’ once sounded weird.

Well, At Least You’ll Know Now
You probably joined this community through social media.
I can also tell that half of the celebrities and brands you love make up your ‘most interacted with’ stats on social media.
Plus, no matter how busy you are today, you’ll still make time out to sneak into X, IG, TikTok or WhatsApp.
Maybe you’ve even considered using social media to progress in your career.
It’s why you should take the latest report by Hubspot seriously. I’m talking about the ‘2024 State of Marketing Report’ that showed:
- Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok have the strongest return on investment
- 27% of marketers who don’t use YouTube plan to start next year
- For those curious, 68% of marketers predict more success with X than Threads in 2024
- 55% of businesses predict that by 2024, most people will turn to chatbots over search engines for answers
You use social media but do you know the changes happening right under your nose?
I mean, if more people prefer chatbots over search engines, there might be less need for long-form writers?
But, how can you secure your job and future if you haven’t even had a look at the latest trends?

My Worst Day In Sales
I remember it vividly as if it were just yesterday. It was my worst day in sales…It was a demoralizing experience. But I will never forget the lessons learned…
At the time, I was single and didn’t have any kids. So, I’d tell my inside sales development rep (SDR) to book a ton of sales calls.
My SDR had done a great job and booked a ton of sales calls. One of the sales calls had me really pumped up. We were fully engaged in a sales cycle with a Fortune 1000 company (who shall remain anonymous to protect both the innocent and the guilty)...
