SEO and Content Creation Tips: Boosting Engagement and Driving Leads
It was career day in school, young Thelma was looking so fly in her two-piece outfit with an oversized diamond chain, probably her Dad’s, bouncing on her air Jordans while smiling at everyone on her path. She was walking the red carpet (in her mind). Everyone was gazing at her with Paparazzi-like eyes, some in utter confusion as to why she would dress like that on career day, while some were in admiration of how fly she looked. Yeah, not stunning, but fly. While her schoolmates all came dressed like doctors, engineers, fire service men, politicians, lawyers, bankers, pilots, even weird Jason came in a Mcdonalds apron.
