If you’re a recent college graduate (congrats!), you’re probably anxious and excited to start your career. But before you get ahead of yourself, you’re going to need to build an outstanding resume and this guest post, by Amanda King will show you how to do just that.



I still remember somedays back, there was this huge rush over the shit called influenceerrrs. Everybody with a pretty face and a DSLR jumped the bandwagon.... fashion influencer, being the majority of the influencer hype, followed by travel. Guys with a little bit of social media followership started to call themselves social media influencers.

(Oh! If you want to boost your Instagram followers' count by hundreds with just 5 minutes of work each day, then use this little Instagram hack to skyrocket your followers' number, that very few people are aware of!)

Unfortunately, I am one of those old-school personas who feel influencership isn't for me. …

I am gonna be clear. I am no productivity guru. Neither am I a billionaire or the first trillionaire who conquered it all through his sky-high productivity. I am just what you would call, a decently successful guy leading a happy life who reads a lot of self-improvement books such as The Productivity Project, The Happiness Equation, Deep Work, Tools of Titans etc.



In here, I am going to try and outline what it needs from your end to be more productive. What follows may appear conventional, may not be known to you or may just happen to blow your mind. I don't know.

This is what worked for me and some others whom I met who did what I did and became much more productive than what their lazy asses were.

The following what you are about to read is my personal anecdote. After it, I have added some recommended books based on the anecdote, which I think you may find useful.

I have had ADHD. I have had ADD. ADHD had been my longtime friend - since I was of the age of 6. My teachers were frustrated with my hyperactivity and recommended my mom to take me to a psychologist.

Fortunately she didn't recommend me any pills, and thanks to that, I didn't turn up like most other ADD-diagnosed guys.

I would like to say that ADD is deadly. It is also the most misdiagnosed disease that I have ever come across. It's also…

My Instagram account started off a real weird way. I wanted to cash in on the growing YouTube hype and as a result wanted to practice taking videos of me and not making a fool of myself. So, I wanted a platform where I could judge what people thought of my videos and I chose Instagram for it!


What’s the most important thing that you need when you want people to judge your shitty videos? 

You guessed it! 

Followers.
The Instagram Experiment of Gaining Followers and EngagementSimple enough. I needed more followers. But the real problem was that I had no clue as to how to get it. As such began round 2 of my social media research. 

As always, I found most posts on the Internet just reiterated the basics- create a bio, post nice images, and wait 150 years to get your first 1k followers. 

Fortunately, I was already introduced to the world of code and bots. So, I did some digging and found a very popular bot known as Instagress, which you need to pay to use. Now, there is quite a lot of discussion…

Blog commenting is a must for all aspiring bloggers.

No.

This is not an overstatement. This is what I learnt the hard way after two years of blogging. Previously commenting was solely (or should I say, predominantly) an SEO technique, a simple way of getting more backlinks to get better ranks at Google's SERP.

But after Google's Panda algorithm updates, this is no more a reality. 

In fact most websites have no-followed their comment sections and any comments you get posted their with a link-back to your site is by most chances, no-followed.

And that's were most bloggers get it wrong.



If you are like how I was two and a half years back, then the post till here is sufficient to deter you from commenting at other blogs in and around your niche.

But, hang on a minute. I affirm that blog commenting for SEO is dead but is the art of providing quality comments at other blogs finished?

You get to meet top-notch experts, influencers and even brands and celebrities. Also, twitter can help find you a great deal of customers too (if, that's your thing). In short, twitter is a great way to earn money online fast.But, before you expect emails from brands asking for a sponsored tweet, or from hotshots in your niche, asking for a collaboration, or even customers buying products from your site, you need to get some factors straight.
To make money out of this social media platform, you need a good nu…
