#not only should you follow the staff blog to keep up to date with their bullshit

[darkwood-sleddog]

This is me @everybody taking staff’s words with goodwill after like 12? Years on this goddamn website:

[dollyichi]

YOUR BIGGEST FAN!

pro-hero katsuki bakugou x actress f ! reader ᯓ★ he finds out who the main admin is of his biggest fan page. 1.4k words. fluff / established relationship / not proofread / little smau at the end

spin-off from ‘a little mystery never hurt anybody’ [m—dni]

katsuki never cared about his image at all. nor did he care about what people post about him online. aside from his own beliefs, he only cares about what you think, and if you think he’s ‘fucking cool’ then he’s fucking cool.

he only ever checks social media and posts something that you’re a part of. if he had the chance to have all his platforms with a picture of you both or even just you, he’d do it—but you would scold him and tell him that he should just have a photo of himself. which you had to do instead since he’s stubborn and wouldn’t know what photo would look the best.

well fortunately for you, who has an album of pictures of him whether you took it yourself to gate-keep, from his fan sites, or his modeling / commercial projects just picked one portrait that would match his overall style. not too much, not too zoomed out, but still would exude that cool side that you loved so much.

and the moment you changed his profile you’re already switching to your verified fan account to notify your followers of his new profile photo. multiple notifications spawn at your lockscreen, the tweet already blew up too.

your co-admins don’t even know that it was the ‘dazzling actress y/n’ running the account in the first place, and it was for the better. you always had this account the moment katsuki was in his third year in UA. usually posting threads about how amazing of a hero he is, or his rankings in the recent fan polls such as ‘hottest hero’ or ‘most powerful rookie hero quirks!’ and your favorite, ‘heroes i wanna get in bed with.’ just from that, anyone other than you knowing your identity would be real bad.

pro-hero dynamight always had a loyal fanbase anyway. and you were always the first account they’d come to for any news on him.

when you started dating you had to ask for some help which is why you had some of your followers (who have been supporting your blog for so long too!) to assist you when you couldn’t post as frequently as you used to. it was easy to juggle the fan account while you were starting as an actress, but when you started dating katsuki, manning the page is a big challenge. he’ll definitely find out in no time since personal space was thrown out the window when you became his.

you wanted to keep it a secret since you were still such a big fan and it felt like a waste deleting the account since you worked so hard on it—pouring so much passion on it despite being with the main source. there were even times when you begged your staff to get him to sign your merch, which you happily post on the fan page too, wearing thick gloves because you figured katsuki would recognize you immediately.

sometimes you would slip and mess up. your co-admin posting about katsuki taking a photo of your new digital billboard by the station. and you accidentally quoted the tweet on your fan page that reads ‘he really likes me~’ and you immediately take it down before the viewer count goes up.

it was a very close call, and when someone did ask you about it since some of them had notifications on for your account you just made up an excuse like ‘i mean y/n! sorry it was a typo.’

sometimes you’d get katsuki to look at the fan page when you both have free time. and he only ever likes the tweets when it involved you. like when you’re both spotted on a date, or a quote from an interview of him promoting your own projects.

you begged him to follow and he didn’t really think that much of it. shrugging and pressing the button and going back to indulging himself beside you.

you never really post any updates on the pro-hero that’s related to you though. and when you do find out about it, you had your co-admins to thank. especially for that one video clip of him struggling to take a picture of another billboard you had in the middle of the city.

until one day, the two of you were apart for a bit. he was out on a mission, and it’s sad that he couldn’t spend the first few days of your break with you.

nonetheless, you are currently working with his fan sites near the area for some updates on him at the time. you end up missing him too much when they send you the photos in your direct messages. though, “he looks really good,” you think to yourself. up in the air with that pretty grin of his whenever he wins.

on your fan page you always have that certain ‘watermark’ when you make a post. ending the tweet with ‘admin ⭐️💥’ to indicate that it was you posting.

quickly, you make a new post about his new feat, scheduling to have it posted on the next day.

you didn’t think much of it, just happy that your boyfriend was safe and he could come home earlier to you.

when you wake up, katsuki’s already back home seated on his side of the bed. but what was unusual was for him to be on his phone this early. concerned, you reach out to him, hoping there wasn’t an emergency or anything bad that happened.

then he starts laughing that goofy laugh of his that you love. which gets you to giggle yourself, “what’s so funny?” you give him a kiss on his cheek as a morning greeting. it’s nice waking up to him so happy, until you feel your own face drop in horror on the screen.

it was your tweet, with that exact format that you always used—not on your fan page, but at your own main account with already thousands of engagement. you feel yourself sink in your spot on the bed.

you did it now, you knew you shouldn’t be posting when you’re sleepy. now you fucked up, big time. you don’t even want to know the replies on that post, and you couldn’t even face your boyfriend who’s already crying from laughing so hard.

“you’re such a dumbass no wonder you kept pestering me about this fan account.”

you groan, hiding yourself under the covers. you couldn’t even imagine what’s going to become of you and how your manager’s going to react. it’s not like you could just abandon your following either! “it’s different as a fan!”

you take your phone from the bedside table and delete the tweet immediately. it’s been 30 minutes after you scheduled it, but there’s nothing you could even do to remedy the mistake. not when thousands have already seen your tweet. you don’t even know how to tell your co-admins who probably found out your real identity.

“just kill me!” you say, wrapping the comforter around you which leaves nothing for him anymore. he puts his phone down and wraps an arm on you. “don’t be so fuckin’ embarrassed babe. if it helps i’m your number one fan too.”

you won’t budge, staying still in your self made blanket burrito with a pout. facing away from him and with a huff. you were so embarrassed that your whole body freezes, and your mind goes blank. “hey come on, i’m happy about it!” you hear him say.

you could already feel the scoldings of your manager, you just hope this is mainly good publicity if it resurfaces—because you’re damn sure a lot of your shared fans are going to spread it all over the net.

“don’t fuckin’ ignore me babe! i’m really damn flattered here!” and he’s laughing again. he really couldn’t take it seriously, and you really wish this was just a really bad dream. it’s not like you wanted to keep it a secret forever! but you didn’t think he’d find out this way, bummer.

he pulls you on top of him, kissing all over your pouting face that’s sticking out from the thick comforter. “ah fuck this is so good! i bet when we get married you’re just on your phone posting live updates or some shit.”

you’re never going to hear the end of this. especially not when he digged a little deeper and found your ‘thirst’ postings from years ago. oh well, at least he knows you’ve always loved him. it was honestly such an ego boost learning his girlfriend just ‘as obsessed’ as he is towards you. besides, his page was almost a fan page of you in itself. whatever, you’re gonna laugh it off next week anyway.

at least you’ve given him another new thing that has him head over heels for you again.

Common Mistakes UPSC Civil Services Aspirants Make Despite Hard Work

To many, entering civil service is a dream, and the UPSC CSE is the doorway to this prestigious career. Though hard work is undeniably crucial in the CSE, aspirants commonly make errors that slow progress. Let us discuss some of those mistakes and probable solutions.

VNK IAS Academy, the top IAS coaching in Mumbai realises the challenges that UPSC Civil Services aspirants go through and aspires to provide complete guidance that shall help them overcome these challenges. In this blog, we will look at aspirants’ common mistakes despite their hard work and offer practical solutions from a VNK IAS coaching Mumbai perspective.

Over-reliance on the Past Years’ Papers and Syllabus

While question papers of past years and syllabi are excellent resources, dependence on them alone limits your learning. UPSC is known for its unpredictability, so if one prepares only based on past year papers, it is a shock.

At VNK UPSC preparation Mumbai, our experienced faculty gives a holistic approach to the preparation, covering broad learning from current affairs to topics beyond the syllabus. We encourage students to explore varied sources and develop a critical-thinking mindset.

Negligence to Current Affairs

Staying updated on current affairs forms a part of the UPSC CSE. Most aspirants underestimate or give less attention to this aspect.

Read newspapers regularly: Regularly read quality newspapers like The Hindu, Indian Express, and The Economic Times.

Get news from credible sources: These can include trusted online news websites, TV channels, and the social media handles of such entities.

Take notes: Write summaries of key news stories and provide details of relevant data and statistics.

VNK online IAS coaching Mumbai provides daily classes on current affairs and analysis. The faculty therefore shall give insightful comments and relate the same to the syllabus.

Lack of Focus and Prioritisation

The syllabus for the UPSC examination is huge, so it is not hard to get overwhelmed. Most of the aspirants find difficulty setting their priorities on topics and time allocation.

Plan your studies: Divide the syllabus into parts and fill it in your schedule.

Follow the Pomodoro technique: Study in 25-minute cycles with small gaps between them to maintain focus.

Stay focused: Keep to your study plan and avoid any distractions.

VNK IAS Academy, the best IAS coaching with online tests Mumbai provides tailor-made study plans to bring out the strengths and weaknesses of each student. Our mentor helps the students sort their priorities to use time judiciously and prepare well.

Ignoring Preparation for Optional Subjects

The optional subject in UPSC either makes or breaks your chances. Negligence is a common mistake.

Choose wisely: An optional subject should be chosen if the student is interested.

Practice regularly: Focus on practising previous years’ question papers and trying to write answers to all questions.

Seek guidance: If needed, take coaching classes or seek help from experts if you are stuck with some concepts and face difficulties.

VNK IAS Academy provides IAS coaching with experienced faculty Mumbai and comprehensive coverage of optional subjects to the student. The staff carries out detailed analyses, giving practice questions and personal feedback; hence, preparation for excellence in any chosen option is made possible.

Overlooking the Interview Stage

While the written examination is significant, the interview stage should equally not be assumed. Most aspirants tend to underestimate the preparation for the interview part.

Practice mock interviews: Conduct mock interviews with friends, family members, or mentors to feel everything and know areas where improvement is needed.

Stay updated with the affairs: Stay up-to-date with recent developments regarding the optional subject and general knowledge.

Work on your personality: It is about developing the way you communicate, your body language, and your overall personality that would make a good impression.

VNK IAS Academy offers IAS coaching with good results Mumbai which helps with interview preparation, mock interviews, and individual mentorship. We will groom you with good communication skills, confidence, and proper body language for the interview.

Lack of Test Series Practice

The importance of practising mock tests is in identifying the level of one’s preparation and building up lacunas in the preparation. This is the part many aspirants neglect.

Join a reputable test series: Join a reputable online or offline test series that can help in the actual test scenario.

Test Analysis: Look through your mock test results to see the kind of preparation you have done, and discern your strengths and weaknesses.

Find patterns: Pay attention to repeated mistakes and try to improve them.

VNK IAS Academy provides the best online test series for UPSC Prelims and Mains, as per the latest patterns aligned to UPSC. Our online IAS coaching with mock tests Mumbai is specifically designed to simulate real test situations so that students can gauge their progress and work out areas of improvement.

Overconfidence and a lack of self-assessment

Overconfidence damages your preparation. One should honestly judge the development and recognise where one needs improvement.

Be realistic: Establish some attainable goals, and monitor your progress regularly.

Don’t be afraid to seek feedback from mentors, teachers, or friends.

Stay humble: Be positive and remain receptive to learning and improving.

At VNK IAS Academy, we encourage candidates to increase self-awareness of their capabilities and evaluate themselves. Our faculty provides constructive feedback and guidance for students to identify their strengths and weaknesses.

Lack of Motivation and Persistence

UPSC CSE is more like a marathon. Many who dare to dream lose steam earlier and, as a result, give up halfway.

Set clear goals: Define your reasons for pursuing the test and visualise your being successful.

Find a support system: Surround yourself with supportive friends, family, or mentors.

Be positive: Believe in yourself that you can do it with; a positive mind, and positive vibes.

As providing the best IAS coaching in Mumbai, VNK IAS Academy has a supportive and motivating environment that guides students throughout their preparation.

Choosing the Wrong Coaching Institute

The right coaching institute makes a lot of difference in your preparation. Most aspirants make the common mistake of getting enrolled only by considering the reputation or proximity of the institute. Before choosing, it is important to take the IAS coaching reviews Mumbai.

VNK IAS Academy has a proven success status in academics, due to an efficient and experienced faculty and staff. Our institute provides comprehensive IAS coaching courses Mumbai with personal guidance and a supportive atmosphere to move further with ease.

Overspending on coaching and study materials

Although coaching and study materials are useful, overspending must be avoided. Most aspirants overspend which can prove to be a financial drain.

Budgeting: Determine how much you can spend on coaching and study materials.

Look for cheap options: Online coaching or sharing study materials with other aspirants can help in reducing the cost.

Quality over quantity: Find credible and effective resources, but avoid overspending.

VNK IAS Academy has reasonable IAS coaching fees Mumbai. We provide quite comprehensive study materials as a part of the course. We ensure that the students get the best value for money invested by them. VNK IAS academy offers affordable IAS coaching in Mumbai.

Neglecting Physical and Mental Health

One needs to be physically and mentally fit because the UPSC CSE is a demanding process. Most aspirants neglect this factor and tend to burn themselves out, decreasing productivity.

VNK IAS Academy believes in a healthy body and healthy mind. We encourage our students to pursue active, healthy living with good stress management skills and reach out for help whenever needed.

Lack of Discipline and Time Management

To crack UPSC CSE, one should be highly disciplined and have good time management skills. Most aspirants fail because they are inconsistent and can never learn to manage their time.

At VNK IAS Academy, we provide a structured study plan and ways of time management. Our faculty guides the students in developing self-discipline and perseverance, ensuring effective preparation.

Overlooking the Importance of General Studies

While the optional subjects are important, the optional subject is called the backbone of the UPSC CSE by many. Not focussing on this can prove to be a big mistake.

Focus on core topics: Make sure you address all areas outlined in the general studies curriculum.

Practice writing responses: Learn to express your thoughts in clear and concise language.

Be updated on current affairs: News and events are connected with various subjects.

VNK IAS Academy provides comprehensive coverage for General Studies, Current Affairs, History, Geography, Polity, Economics, and Environment. Our faculty offers detailed analysis and practice questions about important topics.

Trusting Unreliable Sources

During the information overload era, one should be very careful about sources. If one is using a source that can turn out to be false or prejudiced or something like that, then this hurts your preparation. VNK IAS Academy exposes reliable sources of information. Our faculty guides in assessment and avoids misinformation.

Lack of Perseverance and Resilience

UPSC CSE is a highly competitive examination; therefore, one needs patience and perseverance. Most aspirants drop the examination due to some setbacks or challenges of any other form.

VNK IAS Academy promotes an encouraging and motivating atmosphere that encourages students to move on and never give up on facing challenges. Our faculty and mentors guide and help the students focus on their goals.

By understanding and addressing these common mistakes, UPSC Civil Services aspirants can significantly improve their chances of success. VNK IAS Academy provides complete guidance and support to students in overcoming these challenges of becoming civil servants.

Google Maps SEO: What Is It & How To Improve It?

Are you frustrated that your local business isn't attracting enough customers despite having a great product or service? You're not alone. Many businesses struggle with visibility in the crowded digital marketplace, and Google Maps SEO could be the game-changer you need. This powerful tool not only boosts your online presence but also drives more foot traffic to your location.

But how do you leverage it for your business’ success—with or without SEO Melbourne services? Let’s see it in this blog post!

What Is Google Maps SEO?

When users search for services or products within a specific area, Google frequently displays a map accompanied by a list of pertinent businesses. This also happens when Google detects a local intent behind the search query. For instance, if you search for "food near me," it will bring up a local pack featuring several business listings and their accompanying maps.

Enhancing your business’s listing in this domain is called Google Maps SEO, and it will help you achieve better rankings in local search results. It is also worth considering a reliable SEO Melbourne service for even faster results.

What Factors Affect Local Rankings?

Google's local search results depend on three main factors: relevance, distance, and prominence. Relevance measures how well your business listing matches what the user is searching for, distance is how close your business is to the user's location, and prominence is how well-known your business is. 

Out of the three, only two factors are improvable. The ‘Distance’ is something you cannot change unless you move your business. But the other two factors, relevance and prominence, can be malleable. How?

To Improve Relevance - Fill out your Google Business Profile (GBP) with detailed information, such as your operating hours, business category, services, and images.

To Improve Prominence - Complete your GBP, encourage customer reviews, follow SEO best practices, create localised content, and get listed in local directories and social media.

Basics in Google Maps SEO

Improving your Google Maps ranking boosts your search visibility and helps attract more local customers. This can go deep, but the basics are important. Here are some fundamental steps every SEO Melbourne service recommends.

1. Create or Claim Your Business on Google Maps

To enhance your Google Maps SEO in Melbourne, create a Google Business Profile (GBP) or claim an existing one that Google has automatically generated. Some of the essential details you should check and update:

- Name

- Address

- Phone number

- Operating hours

You can also upload images and schedule posts to keep your profile engaging and up-to-date.

2. Post Content to Your Profile

Use the Posts feature in your GBP to keep your profile current and attract more customers. For example, a local bookstore can use this feature to:

●       Share posts about new book releases, bestsellers, and staff picks.

●       Post details about upcoming events like book signings and reading groups.

●       Announce upcoming sales, discounts, and special offers.

●       Suggest books related to current seasons and holidays.

3. Manage and Respond to Reviews

A review on Google on GBP shows a star rating, spending amount, photos, and a description. If you can use this feature well, you can be assured of a strong online reputation for your business.

Since reviews influence Google Maps rankings, it's important to gather more of them. So, encourage satisfied customers to leave reviews by asking them in person or including a link in emails or on receipts.

Here are a few pointers to maintain high review standards: 

Monitor regularly: Set up notifications to alert you whenever a new review is posted. This allows for prompt responses and addressing any issues quickly.

Respond to everything: Reply to all reviews, whether positive or negative. Thank customers for positive feedback and address any issues mentioned in negative reviews.

Be professional: Maintain a formal tone in your responses, courteously addressing the reviewer’s praises or concerns.

Personalise: Show appreciation for the feedback by using the reviewer’s name, if provided, and referencing specifics from their review.

Be concise: Keep responses clear and concise. But, more importantly, avoid lengthy replies that might overwhelm readers.

To find the direct link to your Google Maps listing, go to your GBP dashboard and click “Ask for reviews.” A box will appear with a unique link for your listing. Copy and share this link with your customers.

4. Use Paid Ads to Boost Engagement

Google Local Services Ads can help your business attract customers and generate leads through bookings and phone calls. These ads appear at the top of Google search results, displaying your business name, ratings, number of reviews, opening hours, and more. But you should know how to create them effectively.

●       Ensure your profile is fully filled out with accurate information and relevant business categories.

●       Align your budget with your business goals and adjust based on ad performance.

●       Make sure your ads target only the regions you serve.

●       Include images and videos to grab attention and showcase your services.

●       Schedule your ads to run during the hours when your target audience is most likely to be searching.

5. Embed Google Maps on Your Website

SEO Melbourne services also ensure embedding a Google Map on the website, such as on the location or contact page. This can assist customers in finding your business efficiently and enhance the user experience. Additionally, it helps Google better understand the geographical context of your business.

Final Word:

SEO is not one area, as one may think. It includes many interesting angles, such as Google Maps SEO. Many are unaware of these useful optimisation techniques for not having an SEO professional by their side. If you don’t want to make such mistakes, we highly recommend teaming up with an SEO Melbourne service.

Make My Website is one of the best names we can think of. Whether for SEO or web design in Melbourne, MMW can offer robust assistance in achieving your desired results. So, connect with its team once before making a decision.

How to Select the Best Panel Beaters for Quality Car Repairs

When it comes to maintaining your car, choosing the right panel beater can make all the difference. Panel beaters play a critical role in restoring your vehicle to its original condition after accidents or wear and tear. 

But with so many options available, how do you ensure you're choosing the best panel beaters West Melbourne for quality car repairs? In this blog, let’s explore key factors to consider and steps to follow to make an informed decision.

Understanding the Role of Panel Beaters

Before diving into the selection process, it’s essential to understand what panel beaters do. These skilled professionals specialise in repairing and replacing the damaged panels of a vehicle’s body. Their work involves various tasks such as:

Denting and painting: Fixing dents, scratches, and repainting to match the original colour.

Straightening frames: Ensuring the structural integrity of the car by realigning bent frames.

Replacing panels: Installing new panels when damage is beyond repair.

High-quality panel beating ensures your car looks as good as new and maintains its value and safety standards.

Steps to Select the Best Panel Beaters

Research and Gather Recommendations

Start by researching local panel beaters. Ask friends, family, and colleagues for recommendations. Word-of-mouth referrals are valuable as they come from trusted sources who have experienced the service firsthand. 

Additionally, check online reviews and ratings on platforms like Google, Yelp, and local automotive forums. These reviews provide insights into customer satisfaction and the quality of work performed by the panel beaters.

Verify Credentials and Experience

Ensure that the panel beater you’re considering is licensed and certified. Certification from recognised automotive bodies indicates that the shop meets industry standards and employs qualified technicians. 

Look for panel beaters with extensive experience in the industry, especially those with expertise in working on your specific make and model of car. Experienced professionals are more likely to deliver superior results and handle complex repairs efficiently.

Inspect the Workshop

Visit the workshop to assess its cleanliness, organisation, and overall condition. A well-maintained workshop often reflects the quality of work performed. Observe the tools and equipment used; modern, up-to-date technology indicates that the panel beaters are capable of performing high-quality repairs. 

Take note of the staff's professionalism and willingness to answer your questions. A welcoming and knowledgeable team can significantly enhance your overall experience.

Evaluate Customer Service

Excellent customer service is a hallmark of a reputable panel-beating shop. Pay attention to how the staff communicates with you. They should be courteous, patient, and transparent about the repair process. 

Ask about the estimated repair time, the steps involved, and whether they provide a detailed quote. A reliable panel beater will offer a clear and itemised estimate, explaining each cost involved. They should also keep you informed throughout the repair process.

Check for Warranties and Guarantees

A trustworthy panel beater stands by their work and offers warranties or guarantees on repairs. Inquire about the type and duration of warranties provided. 

A warranty not only assures you of the quality of the repair but also offers peace of mind knowing that you’re covered in case any issues arise post-repair. Ensure that the warranty covers both labour and parts used during the repair.

Compare Quotes and Services

Obtain quotes from multiple panel beaters West Melbourne to compare their pricing and services. Be cautious of quotes that seem significantly lower than others; they might indicate the use of substandard materials or shortcuts in the repair process. 

Instead, look for a balance of reasonable pricing and comprehensive services. Consider the value offered, including customer service, quality of work, and any additional benefits like free estimates or complementary services.

Assess the Quality of Past Work

Reviewing the panel beater’s portfolio of previous work can give you a sense of their capabilities. Many shops have before-and-after photos of repaired vehicles that showcase their skills. 

Additionally, some panel beaters may offer references from previous clients. Contact these references to inquire about their experience and satisfaction with the repairs performed.

Consider Location and Convenience

Choosing a panel beater close to your home or workplace can save you time and make drop-offs and pick-ups more convenient. 

Additionally, some shops may offer services like pick-up and delivery of your vehicle, which can be particularly helpful if you have a busy schedule.

Final Words

Selecting the best panel beaters West Melbourne-wide for quality car repairs requires careful consideration of various factors, including experience, customer service, warranties, and past work quality. By taking the time to research and evaluate your options, you can ensure that your vehicle receives the best care possible, restoring it to its former glory and keeping it safe on the road. 

Remember, investing in a reputable panel beater not only enhances the aesthetics of your car but also preserves its value and reliability in the long run.

Why Choose a Chardham Heli Yatra for Your Pilgrimage

Embarking on the Char Dham Yatra is a spiritually significant journey for many Hindus, covering the four sacred shrines of Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath. Traditionally, this pilgrimage involves extensive travel and strenuous treks. However, a Chardham Heli Yatra offers a more convenient and accessible option. This blog will explore why you should consider a Chardham Heli Yatra for your pilgrimage, focusing on the benefits and the seamless process of Char Dham Yatra helicopter booking.

Benefits of a Chardham Heli Yatra

1. Time Efficiency

One of the primary advantages of the Chardham Heli Yatra is its time-saving nature. The traditional route can take up to 10-12 days, whereas the helicopter yatra can complete the circuit in just 1-2 days. This is ideal for pilgrims with limited time.

2. Enhanced Comfort

Traveling by helicopter eliminates the need for long treks and road journeys. This makes the pilgrimage more comfortable, especially for elderly devotees or those with health issues who may find the traditional trek challenging.

3. Scenic Aerial Views

The Chardham Heli Yatra offers breathtaking aerial views of the majestic Himalayas and the verdant valleys below. This not only adds to the spiritual experience but also provides a unique perspective of the stunning natural landscape.

4. Convenience and Accessibility

Helicopter services simplify the logistics of the yatra, offering packages that include VIP darshan, accommodation, meals, and ground transportation. This comprehensive approach ensures a hassle-free pilgrimage experience.

How to Book Your Char Dham Yatra by Helicopter

Selecting a reliable helicopter service provider is crucial for a safe and pleasant experience. Consider providers such as:

Pawan Hans

Heritage Aviation

Uttarakhand Tourism Development Board (UTDB)

Aryan Aviation

Step 2: Check Availability and Schedule

The Char Dham helicopter services operate during the pilgrimage season, typically from late April to early November. Book well in advance to secure your preferred dates, especially during peak season.

Step 3: Select a Suitable Package

Helicopter tour packages vary in terms of duration and services. Options include:

Single-Day Yatra: Covers all four shrines in one day.

Extended Packages: Multi-day itineraries with overnight stays and additional services like VIP darshan, accommodation, meals, and ground transportation.

Step 4: Complete the Char Dham Yatra Helicopter Booking Process

Online Booking

Visit the Official Website: Navigate to the service provider’s official website.

Enter Required Details: Provide personal information, travel dates, and the number of passengers.

Make Payment: Use a secure online payment method and keep a record of the transaction.

Receive Confirmation: You will receive an e-ticket and detailed itinerary via email.

Step 5: Prepare for Your Journey

Documentation: Carry identification documents, e-ticket, and any required medical certificates.

Packing: Pack light, including essentials such as warm clothing, comfortable footwear, personal medications, and offerings for the shrines.

Health Check: Ensure you are medically fit for high-altitude travel. Consult a doctor if necessary.

Step 6: On the Day of Your Chardham Heli Yatra

Arrival: Arrive at the designated helipad well in advance of your departure time.

Briefing: Attend the pre-flight briefing provided by the helicopter service staff.

How to switch your salon or spa software and things to consider before switching?

Is it time to bid farewell to your current salon or spa software and welcome a more advanced solution that aligns better with your business needs? If you find yourself nodding in agreement, you're not alone. Many business owners are embracing the change, but the transition process can seem overwhelming. Fear not!  In this blog, we'll break down the process into simple steps and share some important things to consider before making the switch.

Three reasons to switch the existing salon software to the new salon software 

Switch to the new salon software if:

The current software is difficult to use.

It doesn't meet your business's needs.

Client features are not user-friendly.

Then absolutely you should go for salon software 

Things to consider before switching

when considering switching your salon or spa software, it's essential to carefully evaluate several factors to ensure a smooth transition. Here are key considerations before making the switch:

7 essential steps to be followed while switching to salon software:

Step 1: Figuring Out What You Need

First things first, let's understand what your business needs. Every salon or spa is unique, so take a moment to think about the features and tools that are crucial for your day-to-day operations. Consider things like managing client accounts, the quality of customer support, online booking capabilities, self-checkout options, expenses, payroll support, and individual staff accounts. This step sets the foundation for finding the right software that fits like a glove.

Step 2: Testing the Waters with Free Trials

Wouldn't it be nice to try something out before committing to it? Well, many salon software providers offer free trials. Take advantage of this! It's like test-driving a car before deciding to buy it. Look for a provider that's transparent and trustworthy. If a platform hesitates to offer a trial or tries to lock you into long contracts, it might be a sign to proceed with caution.

Step 3: Getting Comfortable with the New Software

Switching to a new software system can be a bit overwhelming at first. But fear not! There are resources to help you get comfortable. Most providers have learning centers, on-screen guidance, free demos, and onboarding sessions. These are like your map and compass in the new software world. You can also find online videos that act like a friendly guide, showing you the ropes in a way that's easy to follow.

Step 4: Setting Up Your Account

Now that you've chosen your new software, it's time to set up shop. Use this transition as a chance to give your booking flow a facelift. Check your prices, update your service offerings, and enhance your service menu. Customize service descriptions, set up resource scheduling, and add your staff members to the system. This not only streamlines your operations but also gives your business a fresh start.

Step 5: Moving Your Data Smoothly

Transferring data might sound like a headache, but it doesn't have to be. Start by adding any future appointments and keeping your data up-to-date. Some companies may charge for help with this, but others, like Mangomint, offer complimentary assistance. This ensures that all your client data and current appointments move seamlessly to the new software.

Step 6: Getting Ready for the Big Launch

It's like preparing for a grand opening! Train your employees on the new software system. Test out the most important functions to make sure everything runs like clockwork. This step is crucial to ensure that when you officially launch, both you and your staff are ready to take on the world (or at least your salon or spa).

Step 7: Telling Your Clients About the Change

Communication is key, especially with your clients. Let them in on the exciting news through an informative email. Explain why you're making the switch, reassure them about their appointments and memberships transferring smoothly, and give them any instructions they might need. Highlight any cool new features they can look forward to experiencing.

Wrapping up

In the dynamic world of the beauty industry, staying ahead means embracing innovation. If your current salon software is proving to be a hurdle rather than a solution, the decision to switch becomes paramount. A user-friendly interface, tailored solutions that fit your unique needs, and consumer-friendly features are not just luxuries but essential components of a successful salon. As you contemplate the switch, envision a future where your salon operates seamlessly, meets every business demand, and leaves clients delighted with their experience. The right salon software isn't just an upgrade; it's a strategic investment in the success and growth of your business.

Best Practices for Setting Up and Managing Support Systems for WISP / ISP

Introduction

Wireless Internet Service Providers (WISPs) play a pivotal role in delivering internet access to remote and underserved areas. To provide top-notch service and ensure customer satisfaction, a robust support system is essential. In this blog post, we’ll explore the best practices for WISPs when setting up and managing their support systems.

1. Comprehensive Training for Support Staff

A knowledgeable support team is the backbone of any successful WISP. Invest in thorough training programs for your support staff to ensure they have a deep understanding of your network, equipment, and troubleshooting procedures. Continuous education will keep them up-to-date with evolving technologies.

2. Multi-Channel Support

Offer multiple channels for customer support to cater to diverse preferences. This can include phone support, email, live chat, and a ticketing system. Each channel should be staffed appropriately to provide timely assistance.

3. Clear and Accessible Documentation

Create and maintain easily accessible documentation for common issues, FAQs, and setup instructions. Having a knowledge base or a self-service portal on your website can empower customers to find solutions independently.

4. Ticketing System

Implement a robust ticketing system to efficiently manage customer inquiries and issues. Assign priorities and track resolutions to ensure no request falls through the cracks. Provide automated updates to customers regarding the status of their tickets.

5. Service Level Agreements (SLAs)

Define clear SLAs for response and resolution times. Communicate these expectations to customers and consistently meet or exceed them. SLAs build trust and set the standard for service quality.

6. 24/7 Support

Consider offering 24/7 support, especially in rural areas where issues may arise at any time. Outsourcing overnight support or implementing on-call rotations can ensure uninterrupted service.

7. Proactive Monitoring and Alerts

Implement network monitoring tools to detect issues before they impact customers. Set up alerts to notify your support team of potential problems, enabling them to take preventive action.

8. Customer Feedback and Surveys

Regularly seek feedback from customers through surveys or follow-up calls. Act on this feedback to improve your support processes and overall service quality.

9. Escalation Procedures

Establish clear escalation procedures for complex or unresolved issues. Ensure that frontline support agents can easily escalate problems to more experienced staff or engineers.

10. Data Analytics

Leverage data analytics to gain insights into customer behavior and common support issues. Use this data to refine your support strategies and identify areas for improvement.

11. Empower Frontline Support

Frontline support staff should have the authority to make decisions and offer solutions within predefined guidelines. Empower them to provide excellent service without unnecessary delays.

12. Customer Education

Educate your customers on best practices for using your service and equipment. Provide resources like user manuals and video tutorials to help them troubleshoot common issues independently.

13. Disaster Recovery Plan

Have a disaster recovery plan in place to address major outages or network failures. Ensure your support team knows how to execute this plan and communicate effectively during crises.

14. Regular Training Updates

As technology evolves, keep your support staff updated with regular training sessions. This will help them stay current and confident in dealing with new challenges.

Conclusion

A well-established support system is a cornerstone of success for WISPs. By following these best practices, you can create a customer-centric support environment that ensures your customers receive the assistance they need promptly and professionally. In doing so, you not only enhance customer satisfaction but also build a strong and loyal customer base, positioning your WISP for growth and continued success in the competitive telecommunications industry.

Cybersecurity Handbook for Small Businesses

As a small business owner, it's essential to be knowledgeable about cybersecurity best practices. Cybercrime is on the rise, costing businesses trillions of dollars each year. If you want to keep your data and personal information safe, then having an up-to-date security plan in place is imperative. In this blog post, we discuss the importance of understanding cyber threats and how to protect yourself from them with our ultimate guide to cybersecurity for small businesses. Read on to learn more about what steps you need to take when creating a comprehensive cyber safety strategy.

Why Cybersecurity is Important for Small Businesses

Small businesses are often the targets of cyber security attacks, with an estimated $2 trillion annually stolen or lost due to these breaches. These intrusions can have long-term and expensive repercussions. Not only do they threaten a company's ability to make profits and deliver services, but they also expose confidential customer data which could result in hefty lawsuits and big-time fines. As a result, it is vital for small businesses to take preventive steps such as installing appropriate firewalls on their computers, securing WiFi networks, providing regular employee training on cybersecurity topics, and regularly updating software. Cybersecurity is not just about preventing losses; it is about ensuring the safety and protection of customers and of the organization in the long run.

A Comprehensive Guide to Protecting Your Company Data

As your business develops, so too does its data. Protecting private and confidential company information is essential in today's ever-evolving technological landscape. Employee credentials, customer information, financial records, and other sensitive data must be safeguarded to ensure both the success and longevity of your business. To that end, it is important to establish a comprehensive security strategy that incorporates the most up-to-date measures for safeguarding critical data such as tracking user accounts and activities, encrypting stored data, investing in reliable security software, and utilizing biometric authentication methods. With the right safety protocols in place, your company enjoys increased performance while offering optimal protection from threats such as malicious attacks or natural disasters.

Five Security Strategies for Securing Business Operations

As a business owner, it is important to keep operations secure. To help with this, five key strategies exist that can be employed to help safeguard operational security. These include developing a plan of prevention, leveraging best-in-class technology solutions, implementing multifactor authentication and other access control measures, monitoring activities on the network proactively, and providing ongoing awareness training and education to employees. Each of these strategies offers valuable protection against potential cyber threats while maintaining the productivity of staff throughout their day-to-day operations. If you are looking to maximize your protection against digital intrusions or other malicious activity in your company's environment, consider adopting each of these strategies for success.

Best Practices for Developing Secure Passwords

Secure passwords are an integral part of keeping personal information safe and secure. To ensure strong security, it is important to practice best practices for creating secure passwords. This includes utilizing a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols as well as avoiding dictionary words or phrases. Keeping passwords unique from account to account is also important; recycling the same password across multiple sites can leave all linked accounts vulnerable to attack. Additionally, passwords should be changed periodically, especially if there has been any suspicious activity on the particular account in question. Following these strategies will help keep user accounts secure while providing confidence that personal information is protected.

Steps for Setting Up an Effective Firewall

Firewalls are an essential component of any computer system's security setup as they protect a network from unwanted intrusions. To ensure that a firewall is effective, it is important to take some key steps when setting one up. First, it should be ensured that each user who has access to the system has their own unique login and that the passwords are regularly changed. Secondly, it is advised to set up multiple levels of authentication so that access to different levels of data can be controlled. Additionally, it is important to limit users’ privileges in order to further secure sensitive files, applications, and information like credit card numbers or other financial data. Finally, using an app with security features such as logging who is entering and exiting the system is encouraged. These measures will help to keep a firewall properly configured and secure against malicious actors and possible vulnerabilities.

How to Monitor Access to Sensitive Data and Digital Assets

In the digital age, it is essential to monitor access to sensitive data and digital assets. Organizations should incorporate practices that play an integral role in safeguarding these resources. To start, organizations should continuously analyze their networks for system vulnerabilities, take active measures to patch them, and routinely update authentication requirements to ensure that only legitimate users are granted access. Additionally, monitoring solutions or third-party vendors can be leveraged to detect any changes in network activity or suspicious user roles that seek out privileged data from another user's account. By establishing processes and procedures to track where data is stored, who has access, and when it changes, companies can better protect their sensitive information and digital assets.

Cybersecurity is a vital part of protecting any business, no matter how small. With the ever-evolving landscape of cyber threats, it can be hard to stay ahead of the game and ensure that your company is secure from attacks. By following best practices like staying on top of password security and setting up an effective firewall, you can make sure your sensitive data is kept safe. Additionally, monitoring access to digital assets and training staff on the importance of data security are both important measures businesses need to take in order to remain secure. In a world where digital security threats are likely to continue to grow, having a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy in place is essential for keeping your business safe and operating effectively.

The fact that users are shitting on these features is exactly why we’re working on improving them. The @staff post specifically talks about Tumblr working to improve the algorithms that we have.

Chronological and user curated feeds are not going anywhere, but for most new Tumblr users, the various algorithmic feeds are their first taste of what Tumblr has to offer, and that’s why it’s important for them to be as good as possible. It should be easy for new users to find good content that matches their interests so that they can start curating their dashboard. I agree that ultimately the best way to experience Tumblr is reverse chronological based on blogs and tags you follow, but you need something to help you bootstrap that process.

I can’t really comment on how many users disable best stuff first but it’s not nearly as many as you think.

Nobody is developing another algorithm, the existing ones are being improved and iterated on.

Considering that I despise TikTok, and only used to use Twitter to keep up to date on certain niche locale specific news (mainly traffic updates), I’d rather not migrate there.

I am in fact proud of myself that I get to work with 200+ other like-minded people who all understand and respect the value that Tumblr brings to so many people. We’re all trying our best to improve Tumblr for existing users while also attracting new users.

Ultimately the only way to keep the lights on around here is to show that Tumblr can exist on its own. It doesn’t need to be profitable, it just needs to cover its own expenses. That means either increasing revenue per user, or increasing the amount of users.

Automattic as a company is unique in that the primary driver is not money, but impact, in democratising publishing and in making the web a better place. Yes, I know that sounds like I’m a paid shill (I guess I am?), but honestly my experience working here has shown this to be true.

I don’t care if you believe me or not, but we’re really trying here.

FIXING TUMBLR LIVE

i know yall love to hate on tumblr live, its some trendy thing to do rn I guess but there's a way to fix it, I promise if you're tired of all the "bots" or "not real tumblr users" (as I've seen them called), you can help!

Its called using Tumblr Live

HEAR ME OUT its not crazy hard to use - install OBS, add a screen/game/window capture source, start the OBS virtual camera. Then go to TumblrLive, hit GO LIVE and select the virtual camera and a mic (it only allows for one audio source atm, voicemod works well for me) ((official set up guide here)) It doesn't have to be pretty or cool, you don't have to have a vtuber model or whatever the fuck, it can just be plain and it'll work And then you do whatever the fuck you wanna do - draw, play video games, write, idk, WHATEVER! and the more people do this, the less "bots/not real users" we see, the better TumblrLive gets

Artists need somewhere to go, streaming is a GREAT way to advertise yourself as an artist - Picarto has no discoverability and a mainly artist userbase, Twitch is a nightmare, Youtube streaming is kinda awful too. TumblrLive could be great. It has a long way to go but its not impossible, I swear.

PRIVACY CONCERNS ... do you use Twitter, Google, Facebook, Instagram or literally any social media? Yes? Cool, TumblrLive isn't worse than any of those, in fact, it's LESS. it does track more than Tumblr itself, yes, but not more than everything else. More info here, cause someone did a deep dive, Privacy is near the bottom
