Social media attention
They are real experts. We are not surprised by that.
People on social media attract the attention in a very (uhm "un"?) professional but effective way. The crazier the better. Dogs and cats with their own instagram account. Crazy challenges. Etc.
And the herd on social media is growing steadily.
However, the best way to attract attention is still to give and get compliments. All apps have become specialists in this. They invent everything to make you stick.
- Likes
- Batches
- Shares
- Feedback
- Notifications
all functions that reward you and activate you to give something back.
If you are endorsed by Jane for a skill on Linkedin, then you almost have to do it back, don't you? Linkedin makes it very easy for you to present the "Endorse Jane button" to you.
And you do that, and Linkedin thinks, GOTCHA
Wherever you look around, you see that everyone wants your attention and wants to hold on to it.

Could you please let me know how I will be able to get attention and demand for my :
1- Copywriting business.
2- Life coach and therapy business.
i do not get any response for my blogs.
Thank you,
By being active on platforms I mean sharing articles from others, like or pin. Follow and follow back people.
You must ensure that you become known out there.
You can also find (authority) websites and write guest posts, most moderators allow you to leave a link to your own blog
Place comments on other related websites, especially where you can enter a website field.
And keep on blogging, at least twice a week, until you get the result you want.
I hope this will help you a bit.
