Greater than 2 minutes, my friend!

If you follow The Open Mic on social media you probably know that we love promoting great stories.

Every single day we choose a so-called #PostOfTheDay and we actively promote it on our Twitter, Facebook, Google Plus and LinkedIn accounts.

And based on what I have seen so far, #PostOfTheDay outperforms any other post or tweet or update in terms of views, likes, shares and engagement.

So yeah, something tells me it’s the right way to go.

I don’t really recall where I got this idea from.

I’m pretty sure I stole borrowed it either from Nikki Graham or Clair Cox.

I hope they’re not mad at me 🙂

And then it hit me: “Why not take it to the next level?”

I know that a lot of people enjoy Catherine Christaki‘s weekly favourites that she publishes on her blog.

So I figured I’ll combine two of the best content marketing strategies into one, but instead of doing it every week I’ll do it every other week.

And there you have it.

Ladies and gentlemen, feast your eyes on The Open Mic’s Biweekly Translation Favourites!
