Social media sensations - Folkd and Reddit

Two really great social media sites which I always use to spread the message from my posts are Reddit and Folkd

Reddit

Registered members submit content to the site such as links, text posts, and images, which are then voted up or down by other members. Posts are organized by subject into user-created boards called "communities" or "subreddits", which cover a variety of topics such as news, politics, science, movies, video games, music, books, sports, fitness, cooking, pets, and image-sharing. Submissions with more up-votes appear towards the top of their subreddit and, if they receive enough up-votes, ultimately on the site's front page. Despite strict rules prohibiting harassment, Reddit's administrators spend considerable resources on moderating the site.

As of February 2021, Reddit ranks as the 18th-most-visited website in the world and 7th most-visited website in the US, according to Alexa  About 42-49.3% of its user base comes from the United States, followed by the United Kingdom at 7.9-8.2% and Canada at 5.2-7.8%

 Reddit's logo consists of a time-traveling alien named Snoo and the company name stylized as "reddit". The alien has an oval head, pom-pom ears, and an antenna

Our Reddit profile  https://www.reddit.com/user/reportingaccounts100 has been running for a few years and is

Folkd

We started folkd.com not as social search engine but as a social bookmarking service. So thousands of people stored their favorite links on our servers. After a while the best websites bubbled up by being bookmarked over and over again. So we made all these quality links available through our search form and the social search engine was born.
Why is it better than normal search?
First, people are not fooled as easily as machines - they only save a link if they think it is worth it. Second they often store additional information with a link - like a description or some helpful keywords. Using folkd you will get access to this additional knowledge to discover the web faster and find new websites you probably would have missed otherwise.
 
Our folkd profile https://www.folkd.com/user/AdrianLawrence has only recently been added. 

The reputation rank of our users calculates from various indicators. But if you constantly use folkd, post, recommend and visit the items and make some friends - you will `levelup` very soon :)

 

 

 



Player FM

Player FM or PlayerFM is a podcast discovery and cataloguing service which lists podcasts hosted across different podcast publishing sites. It was created by software designer Michael Mahemoff in 2011

 Player FM helps you discover, download and play podcasts. We love podcasts because they are a great way for people to learn, be entertained and stay informed while on the go. We started with the Player FM web app, which works on desktop, phones, and tablets. And now, we have both the Android and iOS apps too.

Player FM is a widely-used podcast directory and podcast player with over 20 million listed episodes and 90 million users as of 2020.

And while it's vital to get listed in major directories like Apple and Spotify, platforms like Player FM are equally important; they attract podcast enthusiasts and are more search-friendly to independent creators.

Buzzsprout is now fully integrated with Player FM, allowing users to submit their podcast from their dashboard with one click. Let's take a walkthrough of the directory and review of its key features. Then, we'll show you how to list your podcast to the platform!  

Here are some of our podcasts that have reached through to Player FM via buzzsprout.

Player FM interface & top features

Player FM is available as a web app, Android app, on iOS, and all major operating systems and devices (iPad, iPhone, Chromecast, Android auto, and Android wear.) The player is completely free wherever you use it, with the option to upgrade to premium for bonus features (more on this in a minute.)

The home screen features popular new shows and a search bar at the top to look for content based on title or topic. When you search for a podcast, you'll get a list of sub categories to help narrow your results. The app features over 500 sub-topics, helping users zero in on specific podcasts and making your niche content easier for listeners to find.

Thanks everyone for your help. The Bridge Place address is where I used to work and I've already tried speaking to people there.
Spoke to XPS and no records but they did mention Hogg Robinson which I'm fairly sure was the name of the scheme from Claybrook. There are some details on the pension tracing system for Hogg Group which I will try.  

The potential of mini-sites

This week I've been busy working on a couple of mini sites the idea being to funnel traffic from one niche site to our main site.  I've no idea if the concept will work but it certainly has been fun playing with the site builder wizard!

You've got to have fun on the web, and its always cool to learn new skills and so on.

Here are the mini-sites I've built

Report and Accounts - https://reportandaccounts.mystrikingly.com/ this is covers all the areas that we offer.

Podcasting - https://podcasting.mystrikingly.com/ this is focussed onto to our podcast offerings.

Compellingmedia https://compellingmedia.mystrikingly.com/ this has been live for a while and seems to pick up a little traffic hence the idea of trying more.

Adrian Lawrence https://adrian-lawrence.mystrikingly.com this is like a mini online CV, not had anything from it, but idea is worthwhile.

As I said at the start of this post I enjoyed the sitebuilder wizard so it was nice to be creative for a few hours even if nothing traffic wise comes from them.

Who We Are

We are a great team

Always over delivering and enjoying working together, happy and cool

Compelling Media is a technology and business solution provider based in Telford Shropshire UK, we also have an office presence in London

Work with Us

We develop websites of our own and promote them creating income and long term value, we employee designers, codes and content writers all dedicated to creating the best solutions we can.

 

Europages a great pan-european directory

 

Europages is a leading online directory that caters for the European business community, the company behind the site is called Visable which is a pretty good name for a business seeking to improve the visibility of companies on the internet.

They claim to have 2.4million buyers per month across 15 languages and receive around 3,000 business listing per month. The idea is simply you create a listing in your home country and the site and its team translates that and uses it across 15 other sites which are all in the language of their target audience.

If you are promoting a site online then links from reputables places help to boost your online rankings so have links from 15 good sites is therefore more helpeful than just a single one.

Anyway I tried their service our this week, and it does seem pretty impressive, here are our listings, lets see how many enquiries we get and if these all or indeed any of them get picked up and indexed by the various search engines.

Europages UK - Our own UK market place, this version is focussed onto the UK

Europages CZ - Their Czech site

Europages DK - The Danish version

Europages DE - Targetting the German speaking world, Germany, Switzerland and Austria.

Europages.org - Estonian

Europages FR - French site

Europages LT - Latvian Site

Europages LI - Lithuanian Site

Europages SE - Swedish orientated directory

Europages IT - Italian version of their site

Europages HU - Hungarian site

Europages ES - Spanish version

Business contacts within the European realm are thriving – and more and more medium-sized companies are leveraging this chance to go global. EUROPAGES can be their sales hub! The uncomplicated user navigation enables suppliers to create a strong company profile in no time at all and collect buyer contacts from all over the world.

Our language service package includes up to 15 different languages. Your text is edited by our experts and professionally translated into all your desired languages.

Offer your products internationally with a presence on the 26 EUROPAGES versions. Your company profile appears to everyone searching on Google and is at the top of the search results – regardless of which language your potential customers are using.

The concept is a good one and of course they have registered the relevent domain name in each of the European markets they operate in, so there is good chance this works reasonable well.

Back in the day, Google hit directories hard, but the ones they targetted were little more than a list of links, whereas Europages seems to be much better than this.

Why You Must Perform A Company Check?

As a small business owner, you know how important it is to keep an eye on your business's finances, especially in the early stages of a new business.

Whether you are an entrepreneur, investor, supplier or consumer, there are many occasions when it can be useful and necessary to do due diligence before doing business with a particular company. A business check is not the only way to do business, but for many reasons it is still the most flexible and cost-effective way to conduct financial relations. When a customer checks his company name, he underscores the idea that the business is legitimate. For example, if your companies are new and lay the foundation for what we hope will be a successful partnership with one of the largest companies in your industry, a corporate check can add a degree of legitimacy.   

A business check (without paychecks) is harder to pay if you own the company. This is particularly the case if the cheque is not to the owner but to your company. Receiving a check becomes a bigger problem if you have a large amount of cash at hand, such as cash or cash checks, and other forms of payment.

For example, if more than one name is on a cheque, the bank must require the payee to confirm the cheque before depositing it. If the cheques are written to John Doe, for example, he must be the one who approves them. The check is a business check that the account holder can confirm but does not have to sign.

For example, by confirming a check with a deposit - only FDO ensures that if the check is lost, no one else can cash it. This is considered restrictive F DO approval because it guarantees that it will be cashed in and prevents another person from taking the money.

If you have a restrictive confirmation on a cheque and then decide that you want to pass it on to a third party, you must have the original issuer issue a new cheque or have a human name signed in the signature area. Make sure that you need two signatures on your business cheque when opening an account. For business checks, you should provide a personal signature or a company signature (e.g. name and address of the company).

Once you know what you need to sign, you should figure out how to support the check in this situation. There are several ways to validate a check, but how you validate a check depends on what you want to do with the money and how the checks are filled in.

Depending on your business needs and preferences, you can have a business check created in a separate checking account. If you receive a paycheck from your workplace instead of depositing directly into your bank account, it is also a "business check."

If your company has an official name, you can add a "Do Business" (DBA) designation to your checking account so that you can cash the checks you personally write for your companies. When you check your D-BA registration, you can find out if there is a company near you that uses the name you want to use.

Once you have located the company and viewed its details, you can choose to display your business account number at the top right of the D-BA Registration page to display business details.

Once you have set up a checking account, you can either order a business cheque account from your bank or look for a private provider to offer you a lower rate, or order it from another bank. You may find it cheaper to hire private companies to write business checks than a bank, but you will want to make sure that there are security measures in place to keep your business safe. By properly confirming your audit, your business is protected from fraud resulting from lost or stolen cheques. You may also be able to avoid cashing in cheques - many of which will be sent to you via post.

Research and check if you are aware of your company's security measures, such as the company's website, email address, telephone number, etc.

Before you do a background check on a potential employee, make sure you understand your local labor laws to avoid legal problems. Before you start shopping, take the time to learn what to look out for and how safe are privately-ordered business checks.
