There are times in your career where a raise is justified and expected. 
Asking for a raise is a sign that you know what you're worth and often indicates that a professional is taking their career seriously. Therefore, it is critical to recognise when it is time to ask for a raise.

If you're underpaid, you're undervalued

<ul><li>Your employer posted strong quarterly earnings.</li><li>You had an excellent performance review.</li><li>You made a significant achievement. Ask for a raise right after a recent big win.</li><li>You find out you're being underpaid after researching your market value.</li><li>You took on more job responsibilities and establish a track record of delivering excellent work.</li><li>You received a job offer from another company.</li><li>You've just hit the one-year mark. Assuming you've delivered great work over the past year, you're in a good position to ask for a raise.</li><li>You received a promotion. Ask your boss if your new title comes with a raise.</li></ul>

When to ask for a raise

Just because you asked for a raise doesn't mean you'll get what you deserve. If your boss deflects or the company shows signs of financial hardship, it's worth putting some feelers out.

“If yo u stand still, you’re asking to be hit,”

“You have to stay in motion to thrive and be competitive. I’ve applied that lesson throughout my career, not just to business, but in life.”

Dating from a time when financial executives were far less likely to reveal their opinions, Schulman has not been shy in stating his, about everything from discriminatory bank practices and wealth inequities. That, he says, has meant putting his views into reality in the way he leads PayPal. In 2019 he raised wages and cut health-care costs for lower-pay employees.

Back

He spoke with Vivienne Walt about how his very public commitments to social justice mesh with the way he leads PayPal’s 26,500 employees.

Brief

You talk a lot about equity. A lot of companies talk about equity, ESG goals. How do we trust that companies are actually doing what they claim to be doing, when there’s no real way to measure it?

Question:

<ol><li>I think that companies have an obligation and the CEOs who run those companies have an obligation to stand up and address the societal issues that are around us.</li><li>Otherwise, it's just propaganda and employees, and customers and share holders see through that</li></ol>

Answer

You can't have values on a wall without acting on them.

What’s the biggest problem with the way the financial industry is set up?

Question

<ol><li>It’s expensive to be poor. The less money you have, the more it costs you to do basic transactions. </li><li> If you want to cash a check, and you’re part of the banking system, it’s simple and easy. It’s usually free of charge.</li><li> But if you’re outside the system, you need to stand in line waiting at a cash checking location, and pay.</li><li> You’re waiting in line, you’re losing money on every transaction, and then if you want to pay a bill, you need to stand in line again, and pay a transaction fee to pay your bills. This is the kind of system we have today</li></ol>

Answer:

Getting money efficiently and quickly is essential for so much of our world's populaion.

When will central banks actually start using digital currency in great numbers?

<ol><li>About 80% of the world’s central banks have some kind of studies or limited experiments underway.</li></ol> There’s clearly an understanding that the world is moving more and more to digital forms of payments. Central banks are looking towards all forms of digital currencies, for efficiency sake and lower costs, but also, the digital economy is upon us now. And clearly the pandemic accelerated that.

Is paper money really dying out, or is it just us sitting in Europe and California who think that? If you travel around Africa, no one takes a credit card.

<ol><li>Many people have forecasted the death of cash and been wrong, and I don't want to be another in that long list! But everyone has a smartphone.</li><li> It is becoming ubiquitous, and wireless connectivity is becoming more and more ubiquitous. </li><li>The ability to leapfrog into the next generation of payments, that’s more efficient, faster, with less cost, is something governments are eagerly looking at.</li></ol> It just makes sense for them to do that for their citizens.

If you don't have a purpose as a company, you will never attract the very best talent. And if you don't have the very best talent, you will never be a great company.

The Leadership Brief

The constant push of advertisements and commercials in this day and age makes us see more fascinating products than ever. There's always a new and better smartphone, shoes, laptops, etc. They can be huge distractions and may result in potentially wasted money.

How Materialistic Thoughts Trick Us Into Spending More

A lot of times when we are tempted by a specific product, usually expensive ones, we try to convince ourselves that we need it by making a habit or lifestyle out of the product. We create dreams of using that product to live a better lifestyle and develop habits from using them.For example, I see a shiny new shoe. Someone like me, who has never ran before, will start thinking: "hmm, maybe it's about time I start running/jogging regularly". Note that the reason for developing this habit is more inclined towards using those shiny new shoes rather than for improving my own health.

"I Need This To Start My Habit"

In a lot of cases, materialistic things won't make us develop a habit or make us better as something. Buying an expensive pair of shoes won't make me jog regularly; an expensive smartphone won't make me a productivity master; an expensive drawing tablet won't make a better artist; an expensive laptop won't make a better programmer; an expensive ereader won't create a habit of reading out of thin air.

Do We Really Need It

When tempted by these thoughts, it is important to take a step back and ask ourselves whether we are just making an excuse to buy something. A habit must come from within, not externally.If the habit/skill requires something to start, buy something cheaper or find substitutes with things you already own, develop a habit from it, then decide whether or not you'd like to upgrade into a better device/tool.Materialistic things are simply tools that assist and enhance your experience, they are not the core of the habit. Knowing this can save us a lot of energy and money.

Purchasing For The Sake Of Habits/Skills

More often than not I find myself wanting to buy things that I don't need, yet I can still come up with reasons of why I need that thing. It often results in me not using them after a week and wasting my time, money and energy.

To achieve it

Power posing or postural feedback is a technique that suggests how you hold your body influences how you feel and how you behave. Over the last decade, naysayers labeled power posing a pseudoscience, and the intense debate over the validity of power posing research culminated in death threats and bullying. Now, more research has confirmed the effects are real, and a new generation of researchers is honing in on exactly how our posture and stance impacts our thoughts and behavior. Postural Feedback Loop

Power Posing

Power posing became popular after Amy Cuddy told a TED audience about her research which indicated that when people assume an open or expansive stance (make themselves appear taller and wider), they subsequently feel more powerful. In her studies, Cuddy, along with colleagues, had participants assume either an expansive posture or a contractive posture (leaning inward, legs crossed) for a couple of minutes prior to completing tasks. The researchers found that after adopting an expansive pose, study participants felt more powerful, took more risk in a gambling task and did better.

The Debate On Power Posing Continues: Here’s Where We Stand

It's 2022 and we have hacked the big marketing secret, creating community. Well if you didn't know this, well keep reading on. Creating your own community and audience is the sure way to generate your own traffic towards the products and services that you offer. Especially for those that want to find ways to create passive income by using means that require some level of visibility

Want to increase your website traffic? here are 5 proven ways. 

Well if you have a website, or you are thinking of having a website or in the middle of creating a website, I will touch on 5 key areas to enable you to gain traffic on your website, and not just that, generate the right type of audience too. So let us delve into it

So where do we start? 

One of the best ways to drive traffic is by creating relevant content through blogging.To come up with content that will attract the right visitors to your website, you must first understand the buyer persona you’re targeting. Once you know your audience, you can create content that will naturally attract them to your website.No one is saying be rigid in your approach to creating content but make sure it is relevant. try as much as possible not to talk too much about yourself, rather focus on the value that your consumers will benefit from.

1. Create Relevant Content 

Always include relevant keywords in your content. Keywords should be used naturally, not stuffed into the content so much that they detract from the main idea or distract the reader. It’s important to use keywords throughout the content, like the meta description, the page title, the URL, headers, and a few times throughout the piece.To conduct keyword research, you can use tools like Moz, Ahrefs, and SEMrush. These sites show what keywords competitors are using, how often people search for keywords, how expensive the keyword is for pay-per-click ads, related keywords, and much more

2. Perform Keyword Research 

Advertising through paid search, social media, and display ads can be an efficient way to increase website traffic. While there isn't a one size fits all approach, it is important to plan your expectations before investing a ton of money to drive traffic.For example, When doing pay per click (PPC) ads, it’s critical to start with one campaign and a few different ad groups containing the keywords you want to target most. Once campaigns begin, see how audiences behave with various keywords.

3. Use Advertising to drive traffic 

The key to driving traffic is being known in the market. the more brand recognition you have the more you drive traffic.Driving engagement on your website means that you diligently inform your audience and give specific straight forward solutions to their problems.You can do this by being active and engaged within the market. You can implement an engagement strategy today by participating in Facebook group discussions in your industry, answering questions on public forum websites, and interacting with your followers on social media.

4. Community Engagement

Repurposing content simply means finding new ways to preach the same message.The point of repurposed content is to get as much value as you can from one piece of contentHere are some content repurposing ideas you can try:Webinars into VideosOld Blog Posts into Downloadable GuidesInterviews into Blog posts or EbooksImages into Pinterest BoardQuora Q&A into Blog PostSlideshow into Infographics or blog postStatistics into Twitter threadsBlog Post into Podcasts. Like this?

Mentally replace the phrase “the metaverse” in a sentence with “cyberspace.” The Metaverse is a combination of multiple elements of technology, including virtual reality, augmented reality and video where users "live" within a digital universeRead more below to learn about the investment opportunities you can explore to make money

What is The Metaverse?

Event space is a great opportunity for booking short-term rentals on your metaverse property. If your structure is large enough to accommodate events like virtual concerts or shows, you'll be able to attract musicians and other performers who are looking for a new way to reach audiences that may have not been willing or able to attend events in person. Make sure to provide retail space for event-related swag sales. Who doesn't want to pick up a (virtual) band T-shirt on the way out of the venue?

1. Metaverse event space can bring in a diverse crowd

Long live the billboard, the giant roadside advertisement that never seems to die. Metaverse platforms also have roads and traffic, though you can think of it more as pedestrian traffic. Even so, billboards are valuable platforms to reach diverse audiences who occupy and visit the metaverse. Just like with real-life billboards, your income stream comes from renting the space out to companies who want to share their messages with passersby.Look to both real-life and virtual companies as potential billboard customers. After you all, just because someone is active in the metaverse doesn't mean th<warningtag>ey know there's a new virtual shop by a big brand going into an area they don't regularly frequent.</warningtag>

2. Virtual billboards are just as useful as real ones

Forget amusement parks - they can't hold a candle to what's possible in the metaverse. Just because there's no gravity (or physical bodies) doesn't mean that a virtual experience can't be interesting and fun for visitors. You'll need ample space and a huge imagination (or several on the payroll) to create something that will generate ticket sales, but the whole point of the metaverse is social experiences, and this is no different.Bonus points for being able to update, change, or remodel your experience space for pennies on the dollar compared to a real-life amusement park or similar facility.

3. Experiences can be totally wild in the metaverse

Just because it's not the real world doesn't mean that people aren't looking for stuff to populate their virtual life. Retail has a strong place in the metaverse, and brands will need plenty of room for showrooms and shops. Even small brands may find cult followings in the metaverse, so don't be shy about reaching out to potential tenants when setting up your well-planned rental spaces for commercial businesses.Many brands have already seen great success with promoting and selling NFT versions of their real-world products to metaverse denizens. Custom sneakers, high-end bags and so on.

4. Traditional malls and shopping centers are still needed

With workplace returns continuing to be pushed out indefinitely, companies are looking for ways to bring their teams together in communal space. Rather than relying on dedicated metaverse platforms for this job, metaverse office space on bigger platforms can add another element of the real world into the virtual one.Don't forget that virtual architects, designers, Realtors, and others vital to the development of the metaverse may also seek spaces within the platforms where they work. These people already exist and are reaching into the virtual world to make a living in the real one.

5. Office space is just as useful in the virtual world

<ul><li>The metaverse isn’t a monolith; it’s a vibrant place with lots of different needs. </li><li>Real estate investors in the metaverse will find that there will be a need for many different classes of real estate structures. </li><li>As always, choosing the right structure for the lot is the most difficult part. </li> </ul>
