Assalamualaikum and good day, friends of MIA!
We know this isn’t the easiest time for everyone here. People are losing jobs faster than they’re gaining weight, companies and shops are deeply affected, and there’s no sign of this pandemic ever slowing down. Yes, the struggle is real, and it is increasingly difficult if the situation still persists, and pretty much everything that’s happening today sums up the half of 2020; so much for 2020 the year for perfect vision.
But remember, there’s always a light at the end of the tunnel. The economy is healing, businesses are gaining momentum albeit slowly, and travel industries are raring to go, and that’s not the end of it. We are at the recovery stage and there’s so much more we can expect in these upcoming months of 2020, and that includes MIA.
Here, I’ll let you guys in on something. Did you know that as of July 31, 2020, MIA’s global internet ranking based on Alexa is now at 247K? As for our monthly users across the internet, it stood at 24K that translated into 30K clicks with more than 43K page views in total? For now of course. Ah, not to forget, we did add up stats view and the like button within the platform – now everyone can see and start liking them articles today!
So, what is our secret in this? Well, simple really. The secret ingredient is to have you establish your authority and your personal brand by inspiring others with your thoughts, ideas, insights and even visuals, videos and podcasts with us, be it in English, Bahasa Indonesia, Bahasa Melayu and Tagalog. All we did was open up our platform just like YouTube and Medium, nothing more.
Now, as Muslims around the world are celebrating Eidul Adha today, on behalf of Marketing In Asia, I would like to wish you guys a great and peaceful Eid. To the non-Muslims, have a fantabulous weekend. Stay safe and remember to practice social distancing. #KitaMasihBelumMenang
Till we meet again. TTFN, tata for now.
Signing off,
