From local mandates to international ones — we can’t predict when travel & tourism will rebound. While Europe appears to be through the worst of it — at least for now — it’s interesting how the EU has a travel ban on the US.
Many US businesses are still affected by the pandemic — we’ve all noticed how decreased foot & vehicle traffic has created ghost towns among all US cities. Meanwhile, the EU has recommended that its member states can now allow entry to 15 countries (but not the US): Algeria, Australia, Canada, China, Georgia, Japan, Montenegro, Morocco, New Zealand, Rwanda, Serbia, South Korea, Thailand, Tunisia, and Uruguay.

There’s a huge sea of self-proclaimed business gurus on the internet.
How do you pick apart a false business ‘prophet’ from a trusted business leader? The real question is — who is true to their words? Or am I being lured by good marketing with zero backing?
As the very saying goes, ‘false prophets’ know how to impress people with outward shows of success (in the business world). The problem with false prophets is that they usually tell partial truths.
Whenever you search for a service, a Facebook ad appears shortly afterwards. They’re the flashy, in-your-face, “be like me” folks: the Social Media Guru, the Marketing Guru, the Entrepreneur Guru, the Real Estate Guru, and etc. The labels are endless.
These ‘fake gurus’ are also the very same individuals who follow the phrase, “fake it till you make it,” much too radically.
They all promise the same lie— “Take my hook & bait.Buy into my product … for the promise that you’ll make a million bucks.” It’s too good to be true. So this is how to decide the real value in these deals …

How to confirm the stats behind the name
Determine the REAL value of businesses of interest
Some of these so-called prophets are claiming that they’ll spoon feed you their success strategy. It’s just too easy. You need to confirm the legitimacy of their business.
Step 1: Use https://web.archive.org/ to search for the origins of the main business website, and look back at their historical marketing content.
Step 3: Check for employees on LinkedIn. Any real company will have employees listed.
Other Useful Tips
✓ Check for VERIFIED Google reviews & Facebook reviews Beware of paid review sites. Many websites are paid to look like reviews, but in reality they are sponsored media.
✓ Look for the creation dates of their Social Media pages. If they have relatively new pages, then you might need to triple check their legitimacy. Although, sometimes companies do in fact start new pages for new campaigns.
✓ Ask your professional network for any bad experiences with the company of interest
✓ Check with the Better Business Bureau

“My own thinking on this has changed over the past few months.”
In May, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg posted a thoughtful, heartfelt memo on his social media regarding his new perception of the power of remote work.
“There are some very clear benefits to remote work. It lets us access talent pools outside of traditional tech hubs in big cities — and that should help spread economic opportunity much more widely around the country and world while also helping us build a more diverse company.”
From the beginning MyOutDesk has been helping businesses grow and develop hybridized remote & physical businesses with virtual teams. Now more than ever it’s important to embrace smooth & modernized business, all while allowing businesses to scale up.
You can spread economic opportunity in your business by hiring full-time virtual assistants at up to 70% less than the cost of a traditional employee!

Flexibility afforded by remote work
Zuckerberg shares, “I’ve always felt that our teams worked better when they could physically be together. We even designed our offices so there are places where people can walk freely and have those serendipitous conversations that can lead to really good ideas.”
This is true. There is power of creativity in working together in a space, and there’s power of productivity with remote work.
What Zuckerberg is experiencing is a crash course in the power of the blended business model.
He also explains that more and more, the virtual workplace can emulate the physical workplace through technological advances. “I think that technology can help us overcome this, and the lockdown has shown us what’s possible with the tools we have today.”
“As a tech company we’re fortunate that a lot of our work can be done remotely. Not everyone has that flexibility. But as the technology improves, the number of jobs that can be done fully remotely will likely increase across the rest of the economy too.”
“Over time, location will hopefully be less of a factor in how many people work and we’ll have the technology to feel truly present no matter where we are. I think this is an important direction that the world is going to go in after Covid, and that’s why we’re building products to help more organizations find ways to work remotely, as well as more ways for people to connect and feel present socially.”
“It’s going to take time to make this work for everyone. We’re going to learn a lot from this, and we’ll have more updates and details to share in the months ahead as we figure this out.”
Blended Organizations are the Future
A blended or mixed organizational chart is the structure of that many businesses are adopting today.
Growth in outsourcing is a rising trend. Demand for virtual talent is increasing because it works for most business owners and many employees, and it is simply a profitable practice. You can adopt it in your own business – schedule your Virtual Strategy Session now to learn exactly how!

Website security & accessibility
Search engines love secure, always updated, and easy to read websites. Ensure that your WordPress or other Content Management System (CMS) plugins are installed properly and regularly updated. Ensure that your website is safe with a strong SSL certificate. Use the correct heading hierarchy (H1, H2, etc.) in the content body of each page.
Browser page speed, mobile page speed
Search engines take into account how fast your website loads on browsers and on mobile smartphones. Use Google PageSpeed Insights to understand where your website stands. To optimize your website’s speed, enable compression tools, like GZip, to reduce the size of your images and code. Improve your server response time and leverage browser caching.

Your Domain Authority
What is domain authority? This is a search engine ranking score determined by several analytics companies’ algorithms (think of it like your website’s credit score). Websites with a very large number of high-quality external links (such as Wikipedia or Google.com) are at the top end of the Domain Authority scale
Optimized Content
Understand the fundamentals of keyword and user intent research. Your website will rank higher with pages deemed as having high-quality content. This is based on an understanding of your audience. Use the same language as that of your audience to provide the information they’re actually looking for (the who’s, what’s, when’s where’s, why’s.)
Your articles and blog posts should be longer in (high quality) content (between 800 to 1,000+ words). Longer articles tend to rank better in organic results. Include captivating calls-to-action or clear next steps. By understanding the readers and your buyers’ journeys, they will read your content and stay on your pages longer, which helps your domain authority!
Technical SEO (Meta descriptions)
You need to have a great meta setup for your website. Meta titles, meta descriptions, and meta tags are the language and content that search engines, like Bing or Google, look at first and display on search results. You include this in your page’s hidden code so that search engines have a clear understanding of the abstract of your content, as well as how you want to display pages in search results for viewers.
Your new content should accompany features from social media as well as other websites. The more your links appear on other high-quality pages and content, the higher your rank. A seamless full-time digital marketing campaigner works for this. You can have a full-time highly qualified SEO & Marketing or IT Virtual Assistant working for you full-time, for up to 70% less than a full-time traditional worker.

There are too many shows out there today for mediocre work to stand out. Maintain high quality with a dedicated production process, combined with the rest of the following tips!
2) Give your podcast a format
Like watching any morning live show or night show (like The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon), there are patterns and regular “segments.” People need this stuff, they need the structure.
3) Energy REALLY matters
Experiment by not talking like you would normally talk … rather you have to be a caricature of yourself. Build a marketable voice and persona, otherwise, you’ll sound like NPR announcing Mozart’s 3rd Symphony (not that there’s anything wrong with that). A profitable podcast needs a profitable voice)
minimum of 1x per week. Never miss a release ever. People need rhythm in their life
5) Plan on doing this for a year with no listeners
To set expectations, it takes quality – AND- quantity to gain traction and credibility. Low viewership is common, but it starts to build slowly but surely as you build more episodes. When your content is piquing interest and utilizes optimal tags and search terms, you will start gaining more traction
6) Don’t “wander” around the interview, looking for buried gold in the guests’ story
Instead, discover the gold ahead of time in a pre-interview, then “uncover it” during the convo. It’s common to do pre-interviews and also to ask for “tickler” questions so that both parties are amply prepared during the recording session.
7) Get an amazing cover art
Don’t do it yourself. Graphic design and marketing professionals are 70% the cost of a traditional employee and ready for interviewing from MyOutdesk Virtual Assistants.
8) It’s not about you, it’s about the audience!
Always remember — the audience doesn’t care about you. All they care about is themselves. Always angle the content around what matters to them, or else you won’t have any listeners. Everything about them!
9) Be part of the traveling troupe
Plan and arrange to appear regularly on lots of other shows to get people to listen to yours.
10) Don’t be boring
Provide not only substance but entertainment. People aren’t looking to be spoken at, but rather engaged to find a deeper understanding of a certain interest. You need to hold their hand in a fun way to learn and ultimately a sale.
11) See number 10
It’s that important.
12) Don’t do long intro music
No one likes it. Short and upbeat. This is not a TV show, but a digestible podcast. If you lose their interest, they will press skip.
13) Ask for ratings and reviews, quickly, every single episode
In your segment transition or outro, when you know that the listener’s appetite is full and content. Ask quickly for their rating. Explain that reviews help keep high-quality content running.
14) Look for authors who are about to release books
When authors have something to promote, that’s the best time to gain big guests. The same goes for any professional prompting a big project (actors, politicians, etc.).
15) Launch big.
A big launch can carry you far. Have a few episodes published for the launch. You can also create a “pilot” clip that is a short intro episode that teases the first few shows.
16)Don’t talk too much if you’re interviewing
People want to know the guest’s story, not your opinion. As a podcaster, we see this mistake a lot (and probably make this mistake too much).
17) Never read a script
Don’t read anything. It’ll never sound natural. Talking points are fine, not sentences to recite.
18) Use Zoom to record interviews
Zoom is a great platform to record both audio and visual content. You’ll be able to purpose one interview into a live webinar, podcast, any noteworthy screenshot, video clips, and audio clips.
19) Record video and put it out on YouTube
There’s no reason not to. You’re recording anyway, so it’s no extra work.
20) Consider recording videos with your phone instead of your webcam
For those on a budget, a smartphone camera may have a better quality video than your laptop’s webcam. So use your phone’s camera for the editing, while using your laptop camera for broadcasting to your interviewee. Then, mix the video with the recorded audio on Zoom. The results reveal a big difference, but it is a lot of work, so this is totally optional.
Even better, use a DSLR camera (but now you’re talking about a pretty advanced operation).
21) Don’t use Zoom’s green screen backgrounds
The rendered picture makes it too cheesy. Instead, buy a cool paper canvas background on Amazon for $50. It’s simpler, and looks way better!
22) Good lighting
Lighting matters if you are expecting to publish your video. Get a good-size ring light (easily found on Amazon) or some other good lighting.
23) Edit out the boring stuff
People will turn off the episode and will never listen to another one again. Take this as a fair warning: edit out the clutter and the crud.
24) Turn quotes into image cards for FB & IG
During the editing process, allow the production team to note any highlights and pull those quotes into nice, marketable visuals.
25) Have fun!
Last but not least. :) High quality comes with a great mood.
