I interviewed Tanya Ces Maneiro of [Vida Coaching](https://vidacoaching.co.uk/), who specialises in career transitions and work-life balance to learn more. I asked Tanya about the benefits of DISC Personality Profiling and how it might help teams work together more productively.

Usually, it's the final step everyone takes and is frequently rushed. Recently, there's been a lot of evidence showing the positive – and powerful - effects of images in social media and on the web. Did you know… - **tweets with images** receive **150% more retweets** than tweets without images?* - **Facebook posts with images** see **2.3X more engagement** than those without images?* Aren't those statistics just jaw-dropping?

Not using the **Events** feature on your Facebook Page or Group yet? Then it's high time you did! Facebook's goal is to provide fans with the best, up-to-the-minute information about local events. This is good news for consumers and businesses. Events that you list on Facebook are automatically published to its sister app, Facebook Local, providing local businesses with a simple event marketing tool to help fill upcoming events. ### Who's using the Facebook Local app? Facebook's previous events app has been refreshed and renamed **Facebook Local****.** Following its latest enhancements, it's likely to become everyone's go-to app for local events and finding places to visit.  Posted on Monday, 28th May 2018 by Vanessa Hunt [Facebook](https://vanessahunt.co.uk/blog/tag/facebook) [Marketing](https://vanessahunt.co.uk/blog/tag/marketing) [Networking](https://vanessahunt.co.uk/blog/tag/networking) [Social](https://vanessahunt.co.uk/blog/tag/social) [Read full post »](https://vanessahunt.co.uk/blog/2018/05/facebook_local_new_goto_place_business_pleasure) ![A blogger's checklist: Fourteen tips to get your blog noticed](https://vanessahunt.co.uk/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/455.jpeg) ## A blogger's checklist: Fourteen tips to get your blog noticed Whenever you start a new blog post, no matter how passionate you are about the topic, you must also consider your plan for getting it noticed. Get your blog noticed with these top tips (not tulips!) from Vanessa Hunt Consulting I'd love to say there's a magic formula for sharing a blog post quickly and efficiently with your target audience and beyond, but there's no quick fix.

But there's some good practice you can follow to attract readers, and I hope you find the following list of questions helpful. You can refer back to this blogging checklist each time you write a new blog post.
