YOUTUBE MONETIZATION
By Naushad Khan for Multi-Marketing
We at Multi-Marketing are always proponents of everyone using anything at their disposal to create an income for themselves and while this may seem impossible to some, believe it or not, there are thousands (possibly even millions) around the globe who have made an income for themselves through YouTube. That's right, there are those around the world who make a living off being a professional YouTuber and while that sounds crazy, let me assure that it is only possible through hard work, just like with any job or profession.
By creating original content on YouTube, many can create a side source of income to enjoy life or turn it into their main source of income. Of course, there are terms and conditions one must abide to:
1. You must be 18 years or older, or link your YouTube channel to an Adsense account of a parent or legal guardian who is older than 18 years.
2. Follow all of YouTube's community standards (no nudity, graphic content) and don't post any copyrighted material that does not belong to you or you do not have the rights to post on your channel.
In order to qualify for YouTube Monetization, one must have acquired the following 2 main requirements to qualify:
A. Your channel must have 1000 subscribers
B. Your channel must have an accumulated amount of at least 4000 hours of watch time within the last 12 months
Once your channel reaches those 2 main requirements, you are officially legible for YouTube Monetization and can begin to earn an income from YouTube. How do you earn? Basically, once your channel has been approved by YouTube for the monetization programme, your videos can begin displaying ads through which,on average you could potentially earn between 10c-30c per view - which is why views are essential.
Likes and Subscribers are essential too as the more you have, the more likely it is for YouTube to suggest your channel to YouTube users and display videos in relevant searches. All of these play a factor in the earnings, but always remember that there are millions around the world who are living in the lap of luxury and are millionaires through the hard work they put into their YouTube channel and they take it seriously as heir profession, which is why they enjoy the quality of life that they do.
It all depends on the effort and hard work you put in. If you are having trouble finding your niche or figuring out what kind of content you should put out, we at Multi-Marketing can assist. We offer Content Creation services where we help fellow Content Creators such as YouTubers and Bloggers alike to overcome the creative block and come up with and produce trendy, creative content which has the potential to pull in viewers and draw them towards your channel. We always available to assist you in any way we can.

HOW TO STAY AFLOAT IN THE "NEW NORM"
By Naushad Khan for Multi-Marketing
The world is in complete disarray right now, you know this. It's no secret, we all can see it. We are all a witness to it whether we like it or not. But as bad as it seems, it's actually good sometimes to pause, reflect, see how we can change things, do things differently and adapt to the so-called "new norm" - hitting a reset button of sorts if you will.
No doubt we are in crazy times and many of us may fall into a depressed state , feeling as of we've hit Rock Bottom through no fault of our own. Certainly nobody alive right now can say they have seen or experienced anything like this in their lifetime - it's a first for all of us (probably in the world's history to this extreme) and we all hope to never experience something like this again once this all eventually blows over and that itself may take years.
What also will take years, is the global economy to recover - that is if it ever does. It will take much time, especially in the case of the extra cautious to ease back into the way life as it was and even then so, I think I would be more than correct in saying that - to quote a popular Melanie C line - "Things will never be the same again".
It is worse than the 2008 recession (and to think back then we all thought that was the worst we'd ever experience - oh wrong and naive we were) although we are seeing similar situation unfold - jobs are being lost as businesses retrench employees to cut costs, businesses are shutting down, some businesses are just managing by cutting staff salaries and some have even noted that increases and bonuses for this year is under review/consideration if not completely off the table.
What can we do? It's rather simple. We at Multi-Marketing have the solution that we developed in January 2020, well before the breakout of this pandemic. We as the people need to use our own unique talent, skills and abilities (everyone has one or more) to create secondary and tertiary forms of income for ourselves to cushion us should anything happen god forbid (assuming it hasn't already) or to create extra sources of income to supplement our primary source of income and improve our standards of living. Some who are unemployed may even be able to create primary sources of income for themselves through this.
We at Multi-Marketing want to provide that ray of hope, that light at the end of the tunnel in these troubling and uncertain times by helping everyone leverage their talents, skills and abilities to their advantage to create those sources of income, whether, primary, secondary or tertiary. We at Multi-Marketing will provide you with the guidance and the tools to help you succeed and with your willingness and effort to uplift yourself, you can rise higher than this situation and create that financial cushion and perhaps even financial freedom or independence that you seek through our provision. If you want to find out more about this, you can get in touch with Multi-Marketing today and start to remove employer dependence and replace it with financial independence and freedom.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS COUNT
By Naushad Khan for Multi-Marketing
You've probably heard that saying many times before - first impressions count. But never before has it mattered more than it does in this day and age as well as global condition. We have entered a digital era, where everything revolves around the advancements in technology and a global pandemic has inadvertently furthered the reach and usage of the digital revolution. These days, you're first contact with anyone is through your online platforms from your website through to your social media accounts. This means all of these should look top-notch so you can have a great first impression on everyone who comes into contact with these online pieces of real-estate that you own.
Since these are your own spaces and corners of the internet, you should treat it as such and give it your unique feel and look. However, if you are not the creative type, then perhaps you should leave that job in the hands of someone who's a pro in the field of design, like Multi-Marketing. Sure, you could try and do that yourself, but you run the risk of not getting that catchy look that an expert in the field could design for you to get your business recognized. There is no doubt that investing in your online presentation is important and yields results which is why your startup budget should include said investment as it will pay off in the long run.
In addition to this, when starting up any business venture, you as the Business Owner have a ton of things on your "To-Do" list, and as a result, have limited time and hours in a day to put in work on your logo, web design and social media accounts which is why it would be wise to instead allow someone else who is an expert in the field to take care of and launch those intricate online projects for you.
That's exactly what we at Multi-Marketing do - we design the best look and feel for your unique business and will have everything up and running faster than you can say "Multi-Marketing". It's no secret that speed, accuracy and attention to detail are our greatest attributes as a business and we posess impeccable passion for the best quality job for each and every client we work with. Couple all those strengths with a competitive rate and service that is next to none and we are the no-brainer choice for anyone looking to save while getting the same and even better excellent quality work you would get from any other well-known design agency.
Like I said, your first impression comes from your online presence and we at Multi-Marketing are the best choice you can make - a great investment while saving you quiet the penny.

MARKETING & SALES - THE LIFEBLOOD OF A BUSINESS
By Naushad Khan for Multi-Marketing
"A man who stops advertising to save money, is like a man who stops his clock to save time"
- Henry Ford (Founder of Ford Motor Company)
In order for any business to make a profit or even survive, they need to make sales of their products or services. In order to do that, they need to market or advertise their business to let people know they exist and entice potential clients or customers to give them business. This is where Marketing or Advertising Campaigns come in and why they are vital and essential to any business, no matter who they are or what they do.
In order to gain maximum impact, an advertisement isn't simply a one-off act - it must be formed in a campaign, with gripping content that draws in anyone coming into contact with the campaign, which will in turn draw them closer into the message you are trying to get across and what your business does and is all about.
Most times, you as a Business Owner are extremely busy running your business and simply do not have the time to work on Marketing Campaign ideas that are creative, gripping and get across your business's unique message. For larger corporate companies, this is certainly no issue as they have a Marketing Team and a Marketing Chief already on their payroll taking care of that department for them. Some large companies also opt to hire Marketing Agencies to come up with and create Marketing Campaigns for them and this usually comes at a great cost.
But what about the smaller companies who don't have the bank balances and profit margins to afford such marketing campaigns? There is a reason many businesses close down every year - besides the strained and unforgiving economic climate, they are simply unknown due to their low budget which doesn't leave much room for expensive marketing and advertising campaigns and since they are unable to come up with creative content, this leads to their unknown business sinking.
We at Multi-Marketing do not charge the exorbitant fees of a Marketing Agency nor the high payroll of a Marketing Team. We even offer 0% interest installment plans and the lowest rates around so you get all the excellent content creation and service with a smile at a fraction of the cost. You don't have to downgrade on quality but you also save big-time. And we create multiple campaigns that you can use on every type of media out there plus give you free advertising on all our available platforms.
If you are a small business owner, you should consider contacting us - don't wait until your business starts sinking, for then it may be just a little too late. A few rands a month from your expenditure budget will seem like a small price to pay once you see the result of what we have produced for you to allure customers to your business. There is one formula that is tried and tested and stands true - a strongly marketed advertising campaign yields results.
For medium to larger sized companies we offer an all-in-one hub where they can get marketing campaigns, web design, logo design, app creation, business cards and company profiles all in one place with the "Full House Discount" offering should they order multiple services from us.
We at Multi-Marketing are here to help everyone in every kind of business and offer great service at unbelievably affordable rates. I would like to close out with this - There are 3 things a businessman or businesswoman cannot avoid, "Death; Taxes; and a strong marketing campaign to keep their business alive and pumping".

DIGITAL BUSINESS CARDS - THE WAY OF THE FUTURE
By Naushad Khan for Multi-Marketing
The world is indeed changing. This is something we say all the time at Multi-Marketing and remind everyone of - because it is so true. We are moving into an increasingly paperless world, aided by the post-pandemic era, in which minimal contact is globally encouraged.
With regards to the traditional business cards, this sentiment could not be more true. With the traditional business cards, there were limitations in terms of it being a physical form - here are some of the disadvantages:
1. Could fill minimal information
2. If you forgot the business card or misplaced it, you lose all the information
3. It's physical form in a post-pandemic era causes hesitation innit being passed on
4. You need to physically meet someone to have it passed on
5. For any updates, new cards must be printed and the old ones phased out or destroyed
6. You have to print in bulk and carry a few around everywhere
And that's just a few of the surface issues. They are resolved with Digital Business Cards with adjacent advantages such as:
1. Can contain more information and direct links
2. The business card is in digital format, so can be taken everywhere in your phone or laptop without hinderance and is accessible anytime, anywhere
3. It is not in physical form and can be passed on in more ways without hesitation of contamination
4. You don't have to physically meet anyone for it to be passed on as it can be sent via email, WhatsApp, or even posted on your Facebook or Instagram timeline for the world to see
5. Updates can be made seamlessly without printing new ones or having to destroy old stock
6. No printing is required and you don't have to carry many with you as one can be sent to anyone, anytime, even if you are miles apart as previously mentioned, which also saves the planet, which is a massive bonus
The professional and catchy look of the business card can be retained with the additional advantages, so it's a win-win as we phase out the traditional modes - which also saves the planet and reduces all of our carbon footprints. We at Multi-Marketing are always at the forefront of advancements and are pioneering the way of the future - Digital Business Cards.

LOGO DESIGN BASICS
By Naushad Khan of Multi-Marketing
"Why is a logo important? It's your identity. It's who you are as a brand. Doing business without a logo, is like going through life without an I.D., you won't get much without an identity."
- Naushad Khan of Multi-Marketing
Logos are an essential element of your business. They are your identity. It's your branding. It's who you are and what people will remember and associate you and your business with. A logo should be designed in such a way that it's appearance makes people think of you instantly and should be used as a stamp on anything you produce to create that branding effect.
Another important point to mention is that your logo should showcase or feature more or less what your business is about at a glance, without overdoing it to the point that it's cluttered and I overdone. So for example, if you are running a construction company, you wouldn't put anything food related on your logo, because not only would that confuse or misleading someone as to what you're about, but also because it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. You would include something such as a crane or a hard helmet - so even if you're conoany name doesn't have "construction" in it, anyone would still pickup what you do just by the icon on your logo.
Another thing to keep in mind is to follow the "KIS" principle - Keep It Simple. Don't clutter your logo with too many things or make it to busy that it turns away anyone from looking at it. A logo must also standout that it catches the eye of anyone, but not too glaring or colourful that it becomes eye-hurting and turn away people.
It's for all those reasons and more that we at Multi-Marketing always make a point of mentioning that one of the first things on your list of things to do when starting any venture is to get a great logo that will stand out and define what you are all about. We at Multi-Marketing can design a brilliant logo for your business that will make you unique and stand out from the rest and we guarantee quality service with a smile.
