Each day there are 288 ‘5 minutes’ – what can you do with 5 minutes to grow your business? It seems like a short amount of time, but below we’ll take you through just a few things you can do right now to grow your business in under 5 minutes.
Here are five things you can do, in under 5 minutes to grow your business.
1. Post an article on Social Media:
Articles, blog posts and written content can portray you as an industry expert, a trustworthy source or you could simply be sharing content you think is relevant and exciting. On LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter, article posts are often filtered to the top; good quality content always gets a good response. A quick and easy way to boost your presence.
2. Watch an Informative video:
To grow an incredible business, you know you need to learn constantly. An online video can be the most effective way to find out about a new technique or learn a new concept, and there are so many options available. YouTube isn’t just comedy, make-up instructions and video essays – there are plenty really informative videos that could help you learn something new. TED Talk’s (Technology, Education and Design Talks) are always full of interesting and inspirational ideas, many are longer than 5 minutes, but there are lots great opportunities to learn.

4. Plan a blog post:
Sharing other people’s content is great and can considerably boost your presence online, but sharing your own content is better. Getting a blog out on your own WordPress or even using Linkedin can show you as an influential thinker and leader in your industry. Plan a blog post, coming up with your title and what you want to talk about makes actually writing the post much easier as it tends to flow from there. Having a set framework can be the difference from a long dreary post, to a short and sharp though provoking post.
