Miyens offers social media marketing solutions that can help your business have the social media attention that it needs. Here are 5 ways on how Social Media can help you if you are an SME. 1. Broadcast your business easily Social media serves as a megaphone to customers. It is the best option to let people (most especially your loyal customers) know about your new products or services. You can post your newest products on your social media pages or inform your social media followers that you have restocked the product they’ve been raving for. Plus they can share whatever it is that you post online, making you more exposed to more customers which leads to more sales.

Customer Service Online With social media, you can serve your customers better. Not only because you keep them updated about your business but because you can hear them out. And that’s what customers want. Since communication is much easier through social media, responding to their queries, suggestions or complains is much easier and quicker as well. 4.

PRODUCTIVITY | 4 MIN READ

Do you feel less productive every day? Being unproductive makes you feel like you are not accomplishing the things you need to do. Well, worry no more because, in this article, we’ll give you 5 tips on how to be productive every day.

Tip #1 Fix your to-do list.

It’s good to have your own to-do list, but the problem with other people is that their to-do list is too complex. They tend to put the easy task with the difficult ones in one list. This causes them to procrastinate over the complex tasks. Have balance in creating your to-do list so that each task is done with a fair amount of time.

Tip #2 Don’t multitask.

They say that when there’s a lot of work to be done, you should multitask. THAT’S NOT GOING TO WORK. Actually, the more that you multitask, the more you’re not going to accomplish your task. According to Harvard Business Review, our productivity drops down by 40% when we do a lot of things at once. So prioritize what needs to be done.

Tip #3 Let there be (natural) light.

According to studies, the more that you see or get exposed to natural light the more you’ll be productive and alert. Apparently, natural light affects an employees mood and behavior and it also lessens stress. Who knew natural light can do that much for employees?

Tip #4 Take a step back.

Reviewing an accomplished task it is not a sign of slowing down your pace. By doing so, you are trying to see what tasks are done and needed to be done, if you are meeting your goals, and if there changes that needs to be implemented to do tasks more efficiently.

Tip #5 Give your eyes a break.

Keep your eyes off your laptop or computer for a while. Eyes that are too focused on the screen monitor may lead to eyestrain. To prevent this, do the 20-20-20 rule. For every 20 minutes, focus on an object that is 20 feet away for 20 seconds. Your eyes need some rest too.

Being productive isn’t a hard thing to accomplish, apply the tips we gave you and be at your most productive state.

5 Secret eLearning strategies you can steal

ELEARNING & LMS | 7 MINUTE READ TIME

Due to the increasing demand for eLearning in both academic and professional settings, decision-makers are becoming more interested in incorporating this method not only because of its popularity but also to reap the benefits it can provide to their organization. Let’s explore the top eLearning strategies that can make a significant impact on your team’s training.

 

1. Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR)

Virtual Reality (VR) has been popular for the past few years in gaming, entertainment, engineering, medicine, and now in education. With the help of VR, the real world is replaced by a virtual world where learners can see and immerse themselves in what they should learn, helping them comprehend the lesson better. Meanwhile, with Augmented Reality (AR), digital elements are added to the learner’s natural world, which also aids in their understanding of the lesson. Check this link to see some of the immersive learning content that Miyens’ team has created.

 

2. Multi-Player Gamification

eLearning modules that incorporate game elements are effective, which is why we can expect to see more of this strategy in the coming years. This approach, known as Gamification, maintains the learner’s interest in the lesson, making the process enjoyable while still acquiring the necessary knowledge.

 

3. Personalized and Self-Paced Learning

There are ready-made courses available that you can use for your team. However, it’s important to remember that one size does not fit all. Your organization has unique users, clients, and culture, and you offer unique products or services. Offering personalized or custom-made courses built specifically for your team will be a good investment, not just for the short term but also for the long term.

It is also important to note that many people prefer self-paced training that they can undertake independently, rather than being required to participate in group discussions or training sessions. Think of popular on-demand apps like Netflix, Spotify, YouTube, etc., where you have the freedom to choose what content to access, when to access it, and the pace you prefer.

Check out this article about the benefits of creating custom courses for your team.

 

4. Mobile Learning

Given that a vast majority of the world’s population owns smartphones, mobile developers have created apps specifically for learning purposes. An example of such an app is the Juander eLearning app. This accessibility of learning materials via mobile devices not only makes learning more convenient for users but also facilitates the learning process itself. Stored directly on their mobile phones, learners can access these materials anytime and anywhere with just a tap on their screens. If you’re in need of a Learning Platform with a mobile app companion, you can visit https://juander.com.

 

5. Interactive Video-Based Learning

This method ensures that learners effectively grasp lessons as it combines both audio and visual elements. One advantage of this approach is the ability to customize the included information, summarizing it for the learner’s benefit. Learners tend to invest more time in learning when lessons are delivered in video format. Moreover, videos can incorporate interactive elements such as questions or scenario-based activities, engaging learners in problem-solving. You can see an example of this approach here.

Also, don’t forget to share this article with your colleagues who need to implement eLearning in their organization.
