    Free Download: TikTok Audit Checklist

    Discover a complete guide for your TikTok audit: access your metrics and a checklist to analyze competitors effectively. This is a specially poignant subject since it also reminds us that today is Community Manager Appreciation Day. Just in case you forgot...! I certainly never forget, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt: maybe it coincided with your birthday today or you happen to be suffering from a grave case of alzheimer's disease at the moment... I don't mean to be rude, but those are the only reasons you could forget such a historical milestone, honestly. Let's leave the excuses behind and focus on the hard work our diligent community managers put into our online success day and night for us. If you get a chance, give them a hug or pet them on the head, they will definitely enjoy a bit of human contact after watching TikToks all day! That is what they do, right?

    Design with Python: A Fusion of Art and Technology

    Art and technology have always gone hand in hand, from the earliest people making paints and researching pigments, to pioneers like Vera Molnár, who recently left us and who in the 1960s decided to use computers to produce her drawings. As an artist and educator, I deal with this intersection daily, in my case, by using Python, a powerful yet accessible programming language.

    7 Top LinkedIn Profile Tips for Job Seekers

    Learn five essential tips to create a professional profile on LinkedIn Digitalization has changed the world of work, the way we look for employment, and engage with our our professional network. Nowadays, being present on LinkedIn–the most important social media in the professional world–and keeping a solid digital reputation is an important move. Núria Mañé—communication consultant and social media strategist—has over 17 years’ experience working with companies and entrepreneurs. She shares some basic tips to help you review the essential details of your LinkedIn profile. She offers advice on how to present your profile image, experience, activities, aptitudes, and endorsements, as well as a few other details that will help optimize and improve your personal brand and get more profile views. Basic tips to improve your profile and communicate your unique selling point on LinkedIn 1. The initial visual section includes the cover and the profile picture. Always use a 400x400 image for your profile, with a neutral background: a headshot looking at the camera and smiling. For the cover, choose a photograph (size 1584x396) showing yourself engaged in some activity, for example, giving a presentation, or at work in your studio. 2. Your work title is perhaps the most crucial feature because it appears in Google searches. Therefore, try to use keywords that communicate your unique selling point: include what you can offer to your clients and what makes you stand out. Use the expression: ‘Specializing in …’ to better describe yourself, add your training if relevant, and the type of professional relationship you are seeking. Having the right title will also help you increase profile views. 3. In current employment, add what you are currently involved in and add a link to the website of the company you work for, even if it’s your own. 4. The summary is the text provided by LinkedIn to describe who you are and what your field is. This part is aimed at convincing viewers to offer you a contract or become your clients. Write a summary of your professional history written in the first person to captivate the reader, and include the most relevant jobs in the first three lines to start off strong. Then, add your present responsibilities, milestones, aptitudes, skills, key values, and external links. Conclude with a final prompt (“send me an e-mail,” “let’s talk”). 5. If you are looking for work or projects, indicate that you are seeking professional opportunities, but don’t put this in your title. Insert the dates of previous jobs and add a current place related to your profession to better position yourself. 6. Add volunteer experience to your page. It gives recruiters and hiring managers an idea of your values and work ethic. The ability to take something on for the sake of passion, or experience, speaks volumes. 7. Make connections with people who work in your sector. By doing that, you’ll expand your professional network and reach. Having a bigger circle within your field will also help open up more job opportunities.

    How to Use ChatGPT for Creative Writing

    Discover how to maximize the advantages and overcome the limitations of artificial intelligence to improve your texts Just a year ago, including “creativity” and “artificial intelligence” in the same sentence would have been largely implausible. However, the arrival of several free AI applications and, specifically, the free ChatGPT system in December 2022 has paved the way for a revolution. Is creativity something uniquely intrinsic to humans? Now, the answer may be, "It depends." Whether or not ChatGPT will take the place of writers, copywriters, and content creators is still up for debate, but we can be certain that it's a useful tool for facilitating the work of these professionals. Thus, analyzing and understanding its features can help enhance productivity.
