Why Do You Need Video Content?
Video content is a very big thing right now and is being branded by some people as the future of marketing. According to Hubspot, 80 percent of people remember a video they watched in the last month, which could be down to video being highly visual and auditory, consequently making it easier to remember and will last longer in their memory than other types of advertisement. This can mean that the viewers are more likely to remember your brand, ultimately leading to more sales for your company. Still not convinced? Below are some more reasons to use video in your marketing strategy.

Toys "R" Us Founder Charles P. Lazarus Passes Away
Wow, it's actually happening. Toys "R" Us is closing its doors. I was in denial for the longest time. So I suppose this is now my five stages of grieving for the toy distributor. It's only when I spoke with my friend the other day did I realize this might actually happen. Even now as I write this, I am shocked that a giant that massive will be closing. So many people grew up with Toys "R" Us, having seen the big stores or the commercials about the latest toys. They had it all; Nerf toys, Yugioh cards, EVERYTHING! And now when I pass by the massive building, only a shallow grave of its former glory.

It is the most popular question asked by Disney super fans. What is is like being a Disney cast member? Most articles speak about what it is like being a cast member at the Disney Parks.

Bad Review on Sedalia Designs Jewelry Affiliate Company
As an consultant for Sedalia Designs, I joined two weeks before I left. This is a work from home job that you can earn commission off of jewelry you sell. They expect you to learn tons of information and rules that are spread out in three separate Facebook groups, emails, and Facebook group chats. Some of these rules are not particularly clear to a person on what they shouldn't do. This work from home company claims you get your own back office, but when you do get it, you are told from Sedalia Designs to not touch most of it. I sell leggings from La La Leggings and have the same back office, but never once was I told to not touch anything in it. So why give it to the person if they can't really use it? I was trying to do right by the company and read all the information and try to understand it. There was some information that told us to not touch the back office with some screenshots with a big X over the personal details section, but not the promotional tools section in the Facebook groups. Also, I heard from one person from the management team to not touch the themes. So I figured that we could still use the promotional tools in our back office. I used one of the tools and posted that I did on one of the group chats to give a tip to everyone that advertises with social media. I was told I should contact the owner to run it by her and to write a support ticket because my affiliate link could be broken.

Working for Massage Envy
I worked at Massage Envy for six weeks. By week two I discovered that my receptionist position was actually more of a salesman job. Selling hundred dollar products, spa treatment upgrades, membership agreements, etc.… I’m not a salesman. Receptionist work vs salesman work is quite different. I'm a great receptionist—appointment setting, answering calls, greeting clients with a smile. Selling overpriced and unnecessary product is not really my skillset.

Business Ideas That Have Failed
I started off as attempting to be an internet search consultant in 2001. I went so far as to get myself a business plan with the City of Mountain View. I thought I could market doing internet searches for other people, but I didn’t advertise since I had no budget for advertising and the whole thing fell apart. I mean, I didn’t really try, nor did I put my profile up at Referral Key, for example, like I did with IriatheIrrepressible.com. When I started up Tough B, Inc., I managed to change my name on Referral Key, a networking website that I’m also hardly using right now in February 2018.
