Increase Your Social Media Acceptance Rate


Increase your social media acceptance rate – If you are wondering why people don’t accept your Friend requests on Facebook or link with you on LinkedIn it may be because you are giving a bad first impression. Persuasion theory suggests that you give something before you ask for something. I was reading today in SPEAKERNETNEWS a simple way to get people to accept you as a contact.

“When inviting someone to accept you as a contact on LinkedIn or as a friend on Facebook, including a sentence on how you know the person will increase the chances they will accept. If you’re like me, you get invitations for connections all the time from people you don’t remember or even know. By including a simple, “We met at x” or “I know you from ” people will more quickly respond.” — Rebecca Morgan

Eye Strain Prevention


When we are with other people talking face to face we increase our blink rate.  When we are by ourselves we may only blink 20 times per minute. We stare at our computer, IPhone and other tech screens. Our eyes are so important. I just received this eye strain prevention link given by fellow speaker Teresa Duncan at SpeakerNetNews and wanted to share it with you.

“To reduce eyestrain I’ve started using the program Eyeleo (eyeleo.com) that prompts you to perform simple eye exercises throughout the day. After using it for a week I no longer have tired, burning eyes at the end of the day.”
