5 Simple Tips to Use Video Reviews to Grow Your Business - Small Business Trends

Image
Testimonials and reviews are essential to driving sales online now. This is because, over the past few years, most people have faced scams and fake news stories that have made them suspicious. Adding simple reviews can increase sales, as 63% of customers are more likely to purchase from a site that has reviews.  Written reviews can help your ecommerce store flourish, especially if your products cost less than $100. But when you sell high-end products such as consulting or coaching services, a simple written review or star rating won’t suffice.  Tips for Using Video Reviews You need to upgrade them to video reviews. Video reviews look more realistic as people can see the client say nice things about your business. They won’t need to wonder if the review is real or made up. But just publishing any video review won’t get the job done. You need to approach this strategically and share the right review in the right way. I am going to show you how to do this below.

Security camera installation: 8 tips from the pros - TechRadar

Image
Home security cameras today, when placed properly, are a viable and affordable home security alternative to expensive, pro-installed systems. Their crisp 1080p+ footage, AI human and motion detection, long battery lives and smart home integration are valuable tools for deterring or documenting crimes. What's especially tricky for DIY security amateurs is, unfortunately, placing cameras properly. Without expert help, you're liable to skimp or overspend on cameras when covering your home, or install them incorrectly, making it easy for would-be robbers to subvert them. We sat down and interviewed security product teams and engineers from Arlo and eufy — two DIY security companies that sell DIY cameras and other security accessories — and asked them for installation tips, the most common mistakes made by their customers, and other advice for setting up a home security system. How many cameras do you actually need to protect your home? Should your cams be wired or wireless, visi...

Eating well in 2021: Real food, convenience and ‘absolute deliciousness’ - The Mercury News

Image
In the first pages of “The Whole Smiths Real Food Everyday,” Livermore cookbook author Michelle Smith says she wants to bust the myth that eating well needs to be a time-consuming, laborious, over-the-top process full of odd, hard-to-source items. Amen. Does that mean we can stop pulverizing cashews and searching for maca powder? While those ingredients do appear in Smith’s new collection, which debuts just in time for New Year’s resolutions, the majority of its 100 recipes are filled with whole, minimally processed foods that are easy to find. The results yield tasty, comforting dishes, like downright addictive Apple-Cinnamon Mini Frittatas, and Chicken Tikka Masala Soup, a recipe that epitomizes what eating well means to Smith — “whole foods, convenience and absolute freaking deliciousness.” Clever kitchen hacks and 100 healthy, simple recipes abound in Smith’s new collection. (Houghton Mifflin)  Grains, dairy, sugar and soy are used sparingly. But, Smith, a busy mother of ...

JRMC holds drive-thru food drive - Jamestown Sun

Jamestown Regional Medical Center collected more than 1,200 items at its drive-thru food drive on Dec. 10. “We are so grateful to the community,” said Cindy Tag-Nygord, executive assistant and drive organizer. “They stepped up to help our most vulnerable. We’re also grateful for our Team JRMC. They stepped up to make this a success.” The 12-hour drive-thru event also raised $155 in monetary donations, the equivalent of 310 items. With both cash and items donated, the hospital estimates it provided 1,517 food and nonperishable items to local families in need. JRMC is especially thankful for its neighbor, Essentia Health, whose employees donated more than 150 items. “This year has been a challenging one,” Tag-Nygord said. “We see it here and we see it in our neighbors and friends. Supporting hungry families is one way JRMC can continue to be the difference in the lives of those it serves.” listen live watch live All proceeds benefited the Salvation Army in Jamestow...

The Best Breakfast - The New York Times The Best Breakfast - The New York Times Posted: 28 Dec 2020 07:30 AM PST Good morning. We're hurtling toward the end of the year now, a year that's been like no other any of us has experienced, and I made a pizza and ate it with my daughter and walked the dog and got to thinking about how much better I hope 2021 will be for all of us and particularly for those who read this newsletter in search of a measure of hope and deliciousness against the torrent of dark news and difficult days. Then I went home and baked. Peanut butter miso cookies for all, a recipe to vanquish despair! I slept pretty well for once, that night. In the morning, I had bacon and eggs. Genevieve Ko came up with this ace recipe for a sheet-pan breakfast (above) as a way to ease breakfast over the Christmas holiday, but I've come to believe it's a game-changer for winter weekday mornings, and my new favorite way ...

A "Prohibition"-style dinner as COVID-19 takes over ICUs - Los Angeles Times

Image
The other day, I saw two headlines right next to each other on the L.A. Times website that made my head hurt. The first was an up-close look at overwhelmed hospitals around Southern California bracing for a post-Christmas wave of COVID cases, describing hospitals running out of oxygen they need to keep people alive, patients waiting up to eight hours in ambulances before entering the emergency rooms and doctors making impossible decisions about which terminally ill patients will receive care. The second was a story about an indoor, “speakeasy”-style New Year’s dinner being organized by the Beverly Hills restaurant La Scala. The restaurant slipped invitations into takeout bags that encouraged diners to “keep this discreet, but tell all your friends.” The articles seemed to describe worlds in direct contradiction. One story described a group of incredibly brave people facing down the terrifying, lethal reality of the pandemic. Advertisement The other was an unapologetic, even p...
