Dabbling in Too Many Things At Once

Like most people in this tech-savy and demanding world, I'm getting wrapped in too many stuff. Sometimes it's this blog, sometime's it's my music, twitter etc. Let's not forget the
god-forsaken homework that teachers feel the need to give and...I have my exams. Just bundles of joy I tell ya'.

It all gets a bit too much handle at times, but some-how I manage. I persevere no matter how severe (yes, that was supposed to rhyme). It's like I have all these plethora of things to do and if focus on one, it has repercussions (like this blog, which went from having a Alexa rank of 300,000 to 1,100,000). Sometimes I feel like I should just let go but something keeps holding me back...

7 Questions to Ask a Prospective Social Media Consultant

Internet is the right way to take your business to new horizons. While so many other options exist in online marketing and business, social media marketing is known to have its own benefits. It has a strong presence in the online marketing industry. When social media is becoming more powerful the social media consultant should be able to answer the following questions with no reluctance.

What is your Experience?

You need to know how long they have been into the industry. Every business is a learning process. Thought the expertise of the consultant cannot be measured with the yardstick of experience, you cannot expect the novice to be as good as the experienced consultant. A few years of experience would do.

Are there any references?

As said earlier, only experience isn’t expertise. Even with a couple of years’ experience the consultant can be great in the field of social media marketing. How to find if the consultant is worth hiring? Ask the consultant if he or she can tell you other works done. If the consultant had come out successful projects, he or she could tell you as many references as possible even if the consultant has only 3 to 4 years of experience. Do not get satisfied with the references shown to you. Always only best works are shown. Ask for current projects of the client.  If confidentiality agreements exist between the consultant and clients, you may get no references.

Karachi. Here we go again.

Karachi is up to it's same old antics again. Another week, another bombing; the residents here have become used to this. So used to it that we tend to forget that these are not mere stats and figures but people. With lives. 

Some of us rush to social media sites expressing our 'grief' and school-going kids go contemplate whether tomorrow shall be a holiday or not. Let's not forget the good ole' media sensationalizing this by playing un-authorized dramatic soundtracks from movies showing or showing mother clutching their dead sons to their chest.

But as-always the residents of Karachi shall stay strong. Now I've lived in Karachi for almost half my life, if it's one thing it has. It's hope.
