You don't want to be part of this medium-
With our medium you will STAND OUT because you are not part of the FOLLOWERS and you don't FALL IN.
It not good for your Company to be part of a NEGATIVE GROUP of people who spent hours of their time on Social time browsing and commenting on every single post with a so called "like" that maybe count a "good traffic".
Facebook-The same people, not a targeted audience. Most of them are browsers and not buyers. Most of them looking for bargains. Measured easily but not the right profile. Mostly personal stuff and very unprofessional. People are no longer interested in Facebook. Unprofessional way of marketing in a Professional company. People are moving away form this media.
Twitter- The same as Facebook- not a sustainable way of marketing yourself. Good way of posting short news clips- but its not always a professional market. Lots of negative and political posts on Twitter.
Instagram- Overrated with lots of FREE marketing with no personal contact and too much material in a unprofessional way of marketing -
Google ads. Adwords- Money spinner.. with millions of people in the same category and words. Video clips are Irritating for most of the viewers and they move away and remember your marketing video as the culprit. 90% of U tube and google ads use the "skip option" to get rid of this irritating ads- people remember all the clips and banners and in most of the times they will ignore the company as well.
Browsers can almost empty your deposit in a few hours. Its all over the internet and it is becoming irritated. Lots of agencies around to collect commission. Its like shooting in the dark and your name could be part of a site you did not even want to visit. Most of of the site are not user friendly anymore.
All the ads are irritating and when a ad irritates you, then the changes are good that you will not even look at the product.
WE will never post any article on any Social media - We only post the Headlines and we do not communicate on Social media. Social media is not a Professional way of marketing your product.
We have a Farming mentor group that are almost 17,000 on a well known social media platform- it all part of the Marketing and Advertising packet.

Before considering making use of ONLINE Marketing make sure the relevant medium is updated everyday of the week Monday to Sunday.
It's no use putting your banner on a Website that do not have content that is Fresh and updated everyday. Most of these sites will be updated once a day and your banner ad is not part of the marketing of the medium. All of them in the corporate market, and only updating in the week, and if they do it over weekend, its old news.
Don't Buy a Bill Board. -Buy a media that nobody is buying. Or it's not considered media yet.
The best are not the ones we remember.
The best are the ones that we:
- Talk about
- Repost on Social media
- Share with friends and family
- Make it viral
And instead of investing in media to spread the message.
It's "Bizarre" enough for us to spread it.
We always strive to get inline with the following that users want and our rating is over 76%
Trust ; Content, Owners of the site.

Promotion; Something to win or to take part off

This is our strategy
We make you part of our Content and use you Advertorial to connect to you Logo and assist you with the synergy between Video Audio and Script.
Success with social media and content marketing requires more listening and less talking. We read our target audience’s online content and join discussions to learn what’s important to them. Only then can we create content and spark conversations that add value rather than clutter to their lives.
It’s better to specialize than to be a jack-of-all-trades. A highly-focused social media and content marketing strategy intended to build a strong brand has a better chance for success than a broad strategy that attempts to be all things to all people.
Quality trumps quantity. It’s better to have 1,000 online connections who read, share and talk about your content with their own audiences than 10,000 connections who disappear after connecting with you the first time. We have the audience
Social media and content marketing success doesn’t happen overnight. While it’s possible to catch lightning in a bottle, it’s far more likely that you’ll need to commit to the long haul to achieve results. 15 years of online and social media brought us here.
We are available to our audience. That means we need to consistently publish content and participate in conversations. Followers online can be fickle and they won’t hesitate to replace you if you disappear for weeks or months.
Our content is updated 7 days a week. Our team work 365 days of the year.
Building relationships is one of the most important parts of social media marketing success, so we always acknowledge every person who reaches out to us. Research from Australia indicates that 42% of the workforce in 2020 will be made up of the Generation Y’s (born in the 80s to 90s) and only 16% of them will choose to live in non-urban areas where we practice agriculture.

-
Try new tools every day – Take free demos, trials of the tools and explore their potential, leverage your small marketing activities with the help of these tools, once you understand the logic behind it, and outcome rate, you can implement a right digital marketing strategy.
-
Required some technical skills too – AI-based tools require some technical knowledge to integrate with your digital marketing operations. So, be ready or consult with the technical team to provide the necessary support. In-house competency is much needed.
-
Connect with agencies who already built a strategy with AI – Some creative agencies already employed the advanced tools to run the successful digital marketing campaigns. Connect with them, partner with them to gain access to the insights.
