3 Reasons your Business Needs Instagram

Posted on July 13, 2016 by Synergy BlogJuly 14, 2016

3 Reasons your Business Needs Instagram

Aside from being one of the fasting growing social media networks in the world, Instagram is a highly influential marketing tool for big businesses, small businesses, non-profits, and individuals all over the world. About 85 percent of top brands are using Instagram, proving that the network is both effective and here to stay.

Already have an Instagram account? Find us and follow us @synergyworldwide!

We’ll be doing plenty of giveaways in the near future through our Instagram account, but you need to 1) have an Instagram account and 2) follow @synergyworldwide to win!

Don’t have an Instagram account? For your Synergy business, Instagram could be your best friend, and here’s why:

#1. Networking

It may be hard to believe, but there is more to Instagram than millions of pet, baby, food, and nature photos. Like all other social networks, Instagram was created to bring people together. The connections you find through Instagram could result in new customers and business partners. Oh, and Instagram is connected to every other social network, so if you post to Instagram, you can at the same time post the same content to all of your other social media accounts.

How to network: As you follow other people on Instagram, like their photos, and comment on their photos, you will notice your followers begin to rise if you actively post new and interesting content. High-quality images that tell a story will drive engagement.

#2. Show Your Personality

Images are worth at least a thousand words. Create an Instagram account that speaks to who you are. Collectively, all of the photos should portray who you are and entice people to see more. By successfully portraying your personality and lifestyle, intermixed with photos of you in your element as a Synergy Team Member, you’ll make your business offering more relatable and personal while leaving an impression on your followers.

#3. New demographics

As a network marketer, you make special efforts to meet new people every day so that you can

introduce Synergy’s opportunities and grow your business. Instagram connects people all of the world through compelling images that, together, tell the story of a company’s or individual’s brand. By following the type of people you hope will follow you and posting relevant content that appeals to the demographics you want to reach, you can market your Synergy business subtly and tastefully. Interestingly, Instagram’s per-follower engagement rate for top brands is 58 times higher than it is on Facebook and 120 times higher than it is on Twitter. Convinced yet?

How to engage: Learn the art of hashtagging to help the right demographics find you. Instagram posts that include at least one hashtag receive 12.6 percent more engagement than those that don’t hashtag, and posts tagged with a location receive 79 percent higher engagement. #synergyworldwide #nutrition #healthylifestyle #entrepreneur #workfromhome

We encourage you to discover the business benefits of Instagram for yourself. It’s a great way to show limitless people your healthy lifestyle and the Synergy opportunities you want share. Plus, will be doing Instagram giveaways in the coming months!

Posted on July 7, 2016 by Synergy BlogJuly 7, 2016

Paralympic Sharpshooter is Long-time Synergy Advocate

Paralympic Sharpshooter is Long-time Synergy Advocate

sonja_tobiassen Every four years, international champions gather to participate in the ultimate test of athleticism and precision known to mankind—the Olympic and Paralympic Games. Like the Olympic Games, the Paralympic Games showcase the tenacity and dedication of the world’s elite Paralympic athletes. Even though these athletes endure physical impairments, they push forward to become great in their sports despite the obstacles they face.

Sonja Tobiassen is no exception. She will be competing in the 2016 Paralympic Games in Rio on September 10 and 13 representing Norway in air rifle shooting.

Working as a nurse in Norway, Sonja noticed her muscles beginning to weaken in her mid-20s. At the young age of 25, she was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy, an incurable disease that interferes with the production of proteins needed to form healthy muscle. Now, 20 years later, Sonja is in a wheelchair and living every day with love and gratitude.

sonja_tobiassen_2 “The little things really mean something to me,” Sonja said. “Things like friends and family and stopping to enjoy the flowers. I live a good life, an independent life, with my daughter who is 17. I’m grateful every day for a house and a car and a sport that I love.”

While in a rehabilitation center in 2010, Sonja participated in an air rifle shooting activity. One man in the room was floored by her natural aim and consistency. Curious to see if Sonja was just having a lucky day, he took her to a shooting simulator where she again proved her natural talent. Soon enough, the Norges Skytterforbund (Norwegian Shooting Association) learned of her gift and, to Sonja’s surprise, a couple years later she found herself competing in London’s 2012 Paralympics.

To prepare for her second Paralympic Games, Sonja is putting a great deal of focus into achieving her goals. Essential to her training and everyday life is being able to take special care of her health.

Like shooting, Sonja found her passion for Synergy by coincidence when Synergy products were first being introduced in Norway. Open to try any quality products that could aid in her energy levels, Sonja gave Synergy products a chance. She began taking Phytolife and Mistify, then incorporated ProArgi-9+ and e9. More recently, she has added Body Prime to her nutritional regimen. Over the years, Sonja has realized just how influential Synergy products are in her daily pursuit to maintain optimal health.

Within the next few months, Sonja will attend three training camps throughout Europe to prepare for Rio. Training has been an emotional roller coaster for Sonja leading up to this year’s Paralympics. When her muscles don’t cooperate, her performance suffers and it’s easy to become discouraged, but she does not give up.

“Our limits are in our heads,” Sonja said. “If you really want something and you work for it, it’s possible. When I got sick, I stopped working. I lost friends. I fell out of everything. Now, I travel around the word. I meet amazing people through my sport. I have a widespread family through shooting that is inclusive and caring. Shooting makes me get up in the morning.”

Revitalize Your Morning Routine

Posted on July 5, 2016 by Synergy BlogJuly 5, 2016

Revitalize Your Morning Routine

manwriting The way you start your morning impacts the quality of your day. If you start out feeling stressed and anxious rather than rejuvenated, it may be a sign that you need to update your morning routine. Finding a routine that works for you can provide the boost you need to conquer the day ahead.

Follow these quick tips to make the most out of your mornings:

Eat a Healthy Breakfast

Eating a good breakfast in the morning is essential to a healthy morning routine. For a perfectly balanced and delicious breakfast on-the-go, mix three scoops of SLMsmart Health Shake into 10 oz. of milk or water. When you skip breakfast, your body reacts by conserving energy and slowing down your metabolism which causes you to have less energy throughout the day. Each person has different caloric needs, but it is important to eat something when starting out your day. Good examples of healthy breakfast items are oatmeal with cinnamon, yogurt with berries, or whole grain toast and fruit.

Start the Day with Exercise

First things first. Before beginning your morning exercise routine, rev up with ProArgi-9+ or e9. And remember, you don’t have to go for a 5-mile run every morning to boost your energy levels. Start the morning with 20 minutes of yoga or take a quick walk around your neighborhood is all your body needs to re-energize upon waking from a good night’s sleep. Yoga is especially beneficial because it gets your heart rate up while simultaneously improving your flexibility, posture, balance, muscle tone, and endurance. Yoga is accessible to everyone, and with various levels of difficulty, everyone can find a yoga routine that works for them.

Read or Write

Before the busy rush of your day begins, sit down for a few minutes and write your thoughts and goals in a journal. Journal writing can help unload some of your stresses and ease your mind. Writing for just 10 minutes in the morning can help you focus on yourself, create self-awareness, and give you the opportunity to think about how you can best capitalize on your day.

If you don’t feel like writing, take a few minutes to read the news or a few pages of a good book. Immerse yourself in the words of others and enjoy this peaceful time alone to jump-start your brain before you start your day.

Follow a Schedule

Following a morning schedule can help you maintain organization and focus. Perhaps you start with a quick walk outside, then take a shower and get ready, followed by a healthy breakfast before leaving to work. The important thing about a routine isn’t necessarily the order in which you do things, but rather defining and keeping that order to streamline your mornings and start the day with productive habits.

Elite Honors Spotlight: Dan Schellkopf

Posted on June 24, 2016 by Synergy BlogJune 26, 2016

Elite Honors Spotlight: Dan Schellkopf

elitehonors-spotlights New Team Members and Synergy veterans alike continue to latch onto the Elite Honors system and find fulfillment in reaching the milestones that are required to become Elite Honors qualified. An elite few have even become Elite Honors qualified all nine months since the earnings model was introduced.

DAN SCHELLKOPF of Westerville, Ohio, is a six-time Elite Honors qualifier despite his tight schedule. Dan is the owner of a successful residential and commercial window film business that he has kept alive for 28 years. His work schedule becomes especially busy in Ohio’s warm months, making it even more impressive that he became an Elite Honors qualifier in May.

Dan said that before becoming a Synergy Team Member he attended his first-ever Business Builder Conference and sat in the back with his arms folded. He was sure he would not join the company; however, in 2010 he made it official and has stuck with Synergy ever since because of his love for the products and his belief that Synergy has limitless potential.

In contrast to his first BBC experience, Dan attended BBC 2015 in Salt Lake City where Elite Honors was launched and listened eagerly to the parameters of the new business model. He was excited about Synergy launching a simple system that was attainable for everyone and encouraged constant growth.

“As we build toward Elite Honors, we reap the true rewards,” Dan said. “I see it as being valuable because pin level recognition is nice, but Elite Honors is something you can qualify for every month. It’s a system within a system. Elite Honors allows you to start fresh every month.”

Dan is an illustration of leading by example. He shows others that earning a second income is possible despite life’s many demands and is Elite Honors is the perfect map to follow.
