(My most recent VERO post)

As an agency owner staying on top of trends, new software, and industry news is MIGHTY important.  I read articles daily from my trusted source. Recently I've been seeing VERO pop up on more than one occasion. They've been doing a ton of PR. So I took the plunge.  I don't generally jump onto every new platform that rears its head.  I tend to go with my gut.

Vero is touching on the points that have so many social media users annoyed with Facebook and Instagram (the main culprits).  People are tired of the feed, the ads, the bots/phishing and the data mining. Vero's WHY is noble. They want to make a social network that's about the people. Vero means truth in Esperanto.

My hesitation, my vero: Social networks are expensive to maintain, launch,...

Every day, day-in, day-out, we are doing. We're busy doing something. Going to work, taking care of ourselves (sometimes at the bare minimum), taking care of others, worrying, planning, running our own businesses, working on our careers, solving global issues in our minds, binge watching tv, and the list goes on. 

My name is Margaret, I own this digital marketing agency. I founded (ANROMA) SocializeLA.com in 2010. I didn't realize what I was doing when I first started doing it, but early on in my journey I laser focused myself with my WHY. 

WHYs can change. At the beginning of launching my business my WHY was to create a job for myself. In 2010, creative digital marketing jobs didn't exist. Fast forward to today my WHY is to be the person who I was created to be. To me, that means a lot, and I don't take it lightly. 

So EVERYTHING I do revolves around my one WHY. If a certain activity in my life isn't productive to my end goal, then I get rid of it. To show...

You're up against the clock with your current project. It should have been done yesterday. Clients are waiting, emails are going unanswered, new leads are going unexplored. All because the project just isn't quite perfect yet.

We at SocializeLA have a little slogan and it goes like this, "done is better than perfect." We know how difficult it is to let the project out of our hands when we could still make it "better". This sounds like the road to an imperfect world where absolutely nothing gets done!

The truth is that it doesn't need to be perfect. Or, as we like to believe, it will never be perfect UNTIL is it done.

So, as we round the corner into the second half of the year, we'd like to give you one of our biggest tips yet. Finish The Project. Delegate. Ask for help. Believe in yourself. Work with your team. Get it done!

How to showcase your knowledge,but protect your best asset... your IDEAS!

I speak to business owners every day who have yet to harness the power of digital marketing. One of their biggest hesitations comes from not wanting to give away their ideas.  They feel that if they talk about industry best practices, share projects they're working on, and talk about the ideas they have - that they'll open themselves up to competition to steal their ideas and reuse their ideas. 

Fair enough. These are reasonable hesitations. I mean who wants to have their ideas stolen! Who wants to lose clients because someone stole YOUR ideas.

Here's the reality, let me shed some light on a few things:

• You don't have to share EVERYTHING
• If you don't show up to the party (online space) you'll miss out

Here's the dilemma - you need to be online.  It's 2016 if you aren't doing SOMETHING you are definitely missing new clients and opportunity. As much as you need to be sharing your expertise...
