South Africans worth following on Twitter

South Africans worth following on Twitter

So you may have just joined this thing called Twitter, or you've become
completely bored with your friends talking about their pets and kids.
Looking for some interesting people to talk to on Twitter?

We've compiled a list of 10 top South African personalities you should
be following on Twitter, and why we think they're worth it:

Helen Zille: @helenzille

"Aunty Helen" is the Premier of the Western Cape and the leader of the
Democratic Alliance, South Africa's official opposition party. One of
the country's top prolific tweeters, she often interacts with her
followers, helps people resolve issues in their community or puts them
in their place.

Michael Jordaan: @michaeljordaan

As the CEO of First National Bank, Michael Jordaan has made a tremendous
impact on the way we see and use our banks. Even if you don't bank with
FNB, you'll find the other banks are following his example. The first to
introduce a banking app in the country, FNB was also the bank that
(finally) introduced PayPal to South Africa. He is someone worth
following, and for a banker – even has a sense of humour.

Life is Savage: @lifeissavage

Life is Savage, Cape Town's ultimate lifestyle blogger, shares with
everyone his raw energy — provides everyone with the scoops and gossip
with some light-hearted news thrown into the mix. The square pecs and
six-pack don't hurt his female following much either.

Spillly: @spillly

Spillly, with THREE L's, describes himself as intelligent, dirty, a
humorous social media misfit and won't waste your time. He's an
all-round source of information, with classic business acumen, and a
little fun thrown into the mix. Don't expect boring.

Eusebius McKaiser: ‏@eusebius

Eusebius McKaiser is a talk radio host. Besides the fact that his show
is really great to listen to, he brings in great topics on Twitter, is
open to talking with people and loves tackling the tough issues most
people shy away from. He's also just published a book and is world
public speaking champion.

Khaya Dlanga: @khayadlanga

Khaya Dlanga is another author and opinion-piece writer. His modern take
on life in South Africa and his interaction with his followers makes him
a firm favourite on the list.

Caspar Lee: @caspar_lee

Caspar Lee has become one of South Africa's favourite delinquent
teenagers. He's built up a huge international following as a vlogger on
YouTube posting weekly videos on his channel. With almost 200 000
followers on Twitter, he's slightly more famous than the state-owned
broadcaster (the SABC), and a lot more fun to follow.

Ryan van Zyl: @concierge_ryan

If you're living in Cape Town, or even just visiting, you need to be
following Ryan. One of only three Golden Key Concierge's in Africa, Ryan
is able to tell you about everything going on in Cape Town. If it's
legal and ethical, and you can afford it, then Ryan can organise it.

Ivo Vegter: @ivovegter

Ivo Vegeter is a popular writer from the Daily Maverick and has a very
large and eclectic following. He also has tree-huggers and anti-frackers
foaming at the mouth. Whether you think we should be hugging bunnies or
building more nuclear reactors to stimulate the economy, at least you
should be following him.

Nonhle Thema: @NonhleThema

No list of South African tweeters can be complete without mentioning
Nonhle Thema. Some have described her as a B grade version of Paris
Hilton — famous for only being famous. While some utterly despise her,
she has a huge following, and who knows — you may like her.

can be done today."

Where can QR Codes be placed?

Where can QR Codes be placed? The answer to this is almost anywhere! QR Code printing can be done in newspapers, magazines, brochures, leaflets and on business cards. Further to this they can be put on product packaging or labels, or on billboards or even walls. You could even tattoo a QR Code on your body - now that would be an interesting take on giving a girl/guy your number in a bar! You can use QR Codes on a website but they should not generally be used as a substitute for an old-fashioned hyperlink because obviously the user is already online and doesn't really want to fiddle around with their phone only to find a website they could have just clicked through to in half the time. If you have any questions or comments please contact me.

What Is Internet Website Content?

What Is Internet Website Content? Content is made up of multiple elements, and is primarily the; * On-page visible text * Images and image Alt text * Anchor text in hyperlinks to internal or external pages * Hyperlink titles in links and menus * The descriptive Title and Description meta-data In the context of Google, a picture is NOT worth a thousand words! Moreover, words must be accessible, not embedded in images or Flash movies, JavaScript, slide shows etc. In 15 years as an SEO consultant, if there's one common denominator evident on websites, it's that there is a profound reluctance to expend time, money, and creative energy on unique text content. Brevity is the watchword - economical use of words is encouraged by design, branding and marketing advisers! * The branding gurus want you to use the textual equivalent of sound bites - bullet points and short sentences! * The website designers want the entire content of the page to be above ...

Get More Visitors to Take an action When visiting your Website

When you start out in the blogosphere, there are two words that you hear over and over again. 1. Content - Because let's face it, if you're not writing anything, your blog is going to be pretty lonesome 2. Traffic - The rationale being that if no one is visiting your content, you can't do much, including make money I'd like to toss something out there though that not a lot of people seem to talk about, and that's quality in your content and in your traffic. You see, if you are blogging for any particular reason, whether it's to build your brand or to fill your wallet, you need to build a community of people who will actually support your content, click on your affiliate links, and buy your very first e-book. Right? The two modes of blogging Now, there are two ways that people strive for that goal. The more predominant way is to play the blogging game as if you were a commercial fisherman. The commercial fisherman uses gigantic nets, and ...
