UK 25M to Build
Jamaican Prison

Vol 10; No. 18

Community Lifestyle Newspaper

By Kimmy Blair
Street Hype Writer
KINGSTON, JAMAICA:
he United Kingdoms (Britain) plan to allocate 25 million to help build a prison in Jamaica has sparked widespread debate over
long-term funding for the facility Jamaican where
prisoners prosecuted in the U.K. will spend their
sentences.
Prime Minister David Cameron announced
the plan during an official visit to Jamaica on
Sept. 29. He said the funding will come from the
UKs foreign aid budget and that the British government will pay for about 40 percent of the lockup, which will be big enough to fit 1,500 inmates.
Jamaicas Parliamentary Opposition is insisting on the release of details of the proposed
prisoner transfer deal between Jamaica and
Britain.
Critics of the plan argue that its construction
will ultimately place a severe strain on the country's finances, especially because the some 300
prisoners coming back to Jamaica would cost Jamaican taxpayers a whopping $480 million a
year.
Currently, Britain is unable to deport Jamaican prisoners from the UK because the islands colonial-era maximum-security prisons do
not meet international human right standards. On
the whole, the two outdated lock-ups have long
exceeded their accommodation capacity for the
islands growing prison population of over 4,000.
It is absolutely right that foreign criminals
who break our laws are properly punished but this
shouldnt be at the expense of the hardworking
British taxpayer, Cameron said in a statement.
And it will help Jamaica, by helping to provide
a new prison -- strengthening their criminal justice system.

THINKING OF
GOING NATURAL?
Jamaica's Prime Minister Portia Simpson-Miller (l) shakes hands with her British counterpart David Cameron at the Jamaica House in Kingston, Jamaica WI.

He added that the agreement is very important because it will mean Jamaican criminals are
sent back home to serve their sentences, saving
the British taxpayer millions of pounds, but still
ensuring justice is done."
It's estimated that there are over 600 Jamaican prisoners in the UK, the majority serving
violent or drug-related offenses. British government claims the new prison will save taxpayers
10 million a year when it becomes operational
in 2020.

Cameron also used his visit to Jamaica to announce a further 300 million in funding for other
infrastructure projects in the Caribbean, including
roads, bridges and ports.
Cameron's visit to Jamaica had been overshadowed by calls from Jamaican MPs and campaigners for Britain to pay reparations for slavery.
Cameron has ruled out the possibility of reparations, saying that it was "not the right approach."

Scrap the Jamaica-UK Prison Deal

obody really likes prisons


or other correctional facilities in which inmates are
forcibly confined and denied a
variety of freedoms under the
authority of state, city or federal
governments as a form of punishment.
But, prisons serve as an
important part of our criminal
justice system in which individuals officially charged with or
convicted of crimes are punished.
Last week, people all over
the world, including Jamaicans,
were outraged and upset that
the British government brokered a 25-million prison
agreement with Jamaica that
would involve the transfer of at
least 300 Jamaicans in UK prisons back to Jamaica to complete their sentences.
The announcement by
Prime Minister David Cameron
came days after he rejected
calls for the UK to pay reparations or apologize for the slave
trade.
At the start of his tour of
the Caribbean region, his

spokesmen said he was focused


on the future instead of things
that happened when he wasnt
even born.
However, the issue became
personal and more sensitive as
historical data revealed that
Camerons ancestors actually
owned slaves in the Caribbean
centuries ago.
Nevertheless, Jamaica is in
needs of additional prison
space, as the two maximum facilities that were built by the
colonial government have long
exceeded their accommodation
capacity for the islands growing prison population of over
4,000.
In keeping with the terms
of the Memorandum of Understanding signed between Jamaica's Security Ministry and
the government of the UK, a
maximum-security prison to
house Jamaicans convicted in
the UK, will be constructed.
This will result in the saving of
10-million annually for the
British taxpayers.
Based on the information
we have on the Jamaica-UK

patrick@streethype.net

prison deal, it would appear that


the construction of the prison is
not in Jamaica's best interest.
The terms for the prison's
construction will ultimately
place a severe strain on the
country's finances as it is estimated that the 300 prisoners
coming back to Jamaica are
going to cost Jamaican taxpayers $480 million a year.
Prime Minister Cameron is
absolutely right that foreign
criminals who break laws are
properly punished, but he is

being disingenuous to believe it


shouldnt be at the expense of
the hardworking British taxpayer.
Cameron is skillfully shifting the cost of keeping those
UK prisoners to the Jamaican
taxpayers.
Thats why the Prisoner
Transfer agreement is important
to the UK government. It will
mean Jamaican criminals are
sent back home to serve their
sentences, thus saving the
British taxpayers 10 millions o
yearly once the first prisoners
are returned from 2020 onwards.
Since the 25 million in assistance from the UK would account for approximately 40
percent of the cost to construct
the prison, Jamaica would have
to find the remaining 60 percent, as well as undertake the
burden of housing and feeding
the proposed 300 prisoners to
be repatriated.
We therefore suggest that
the Jamaica-UK prison deal is
not in the best interest of Jamaica and should be scrapped.

No illegal narcotics activities at OK Freddy

Dear editor:
our article in the Street
Hype Newspaper of August
19-31, 2015, under the caption,
Mount Vernon warrant sweep
nets 32 arrests, claimed that
Six of the arrests were connected to illegal narcotics sales
that took place inside and in front
of OK Freddies Meat Market
at 132 4th Ave.

People Are Talking...!

We wish to state categorically that the illegal narcotics


and gang activity and arrests
that were reported by the Mount
Vernon Police Department and
the Westchester County Department of Public Safety, have nothing to do with the management or
staff of OK Freddy's Meat Market & Grocery Deli Inc. We have
never being arrested or charged

for any narcotics or gang activity or associated with anybody


charged or identified by the police, as the report would have implied.
It should be noted, however
that with a very high crime rate
in our community including the
use of drug and other illegal narcotics, OK Freddy is unable and
should not be expected to monitor activities of people or perhaps
some customers that congregate
on the public road.

Abusing Underage Boys

BRONX:
olice have arrested a man they say has
been sexually abusing underage boys in
the Bronx since the summer.
On three different occasions starting in

He had flown in from the Dominican

He could serve up to seven years in prison

Rent Freeze Awareness Ads Rolled Out

-------------------------------------

New York, NY:


he de Blasio administration is spending
a million dollars on a new ad campaign
to promote the recently enacted rent freeze
for rent-stabilized apartments.
The ads will begin appearing in subways and newspapers later this month, as
well as online and radio.
They are meant to to raise awareness
about the new rent guidelines that took effect
this month and help prevent tenants from
being overcharged.
City officials are also putting together a
door-to-door campaign to notify 1-hundredthousand tenants about the freeze.
The Rent Guidelines Board voted back
in June for a freeze on one year rent stabilized leases. A two percent increase was also
agreed upon for tenants with two-year
leases.
This comes as Mayor Bill de Blasio is
set to host his first-ever town hall next week
in Washington Heights. He's expected to address rent security and protection for tenants.

New York, NY:


ast week in New York City, the mothers
of Eric Garner and Ramarley Graham
stood side beside Hawa Bah, whose son Mohamed Bah was killed by the NYPD three
years ago. They rallied outside the Department of Justice Southern District to call on the
DOJ to take action in Bahs case.
On Sept. 25, 2012, Mrs. Bah called 911
to request an ambulance for her son, who she
believed was in physical and mental distress.
Instead of an ambulance, NYPD Emergency
Services Unit officers arrived. Despite Mrs.
Bah pleading with them not to, the officers
forced their way into her sons apartment with
guns drawn and shot him eight times. The
NYPD claims Mr. Bah had a knife, but no
knife has been made available to the families
attorneys.
A little over a year after Mr. Bahs death,
a Manhattan grand jury failed to indict any of
the officers responsible. The case has been
stalled with the Department of Justice since.
My son never committed a crime in his
life, said Mrs. Bah. He didnt do anything
wrong and yet the grand jury came back with
no indictment. Now the DOJ is the only
chance I have for any kind of justice for Mohamed.
Im here because my sons case has gotten a lot of attention, but other cases, like Mohameds, have not, said Gwen Carr, the
mother of Eric Garner. All the mothers need
to stand together to make sure our children get
justice. We need the Department of Justice to
do this right thing for our sons.
Its time for the DOJ to stop dragging
their feet in our sons cases, said Constance
Malcolm, mother of Ramarley Graham. Justice delayed is justice denied. Its difficult to
believe the federal government actually values the lives of our sons, when it takes years
get any answers.
The Bah familys attorneys and supporters say the facts of the case, including new evidence uncovered through the civil suit
discovery process, proves the NYPD unjustly
killed Bah in cold blood and then covered it
up.

Specifically, they say a recent analysis of the


autopsy contradicts the NYPDs officers stories, suggesting Bah was shot execution style.
After questioning 16 members of the NYPD
and sifting through thousands of pages of doc-

uments, it has become clear that Mr. Bah was


brutally executed on September 25, 2012,
while he was in his apartment, said Debra
Cohen, co-chair of Newman Ferrara LLP and
one of the families attorneys.

Former Antigua-Barbuda UN
official arrested in bribery scheme

NEW YORK, NY:


The former permanent representative of Antigua and Barbuda to the United Nations, John
Ashe, was arrested in New York on Tuesday
on charges of engaging in a widespread corruption scheme.
The current government of Antigua and
Barbuda moved quickly to distance itself from
Ashe, noting in a statement that he was appointed by the former United Progressive
Party government and he was replaced by the
present Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party
government when it was elected to office in
2014.
Senior officials of the former Spencer
government, including Spencer himself are
also identified in the complaint. The complaint against Ashe, who is a resident of the
United States, also includes fraudulent tax returns in the US.
The charges against Ashe relate to his
former presidency of the UN General Assembly. Ashe was one of six people named in a
criminal complaint outlining a bribery scheme
that involved more than $1 million in payments from sources in China for assistance in
real estate deals and other business interests.
The complaint outlines a broad pattern of
corruption on the part of Ashe, 61, who is ac-

cused of using the


bribes to support a
lavish lifestyle.
Preet Bharara,
the United States attorney in Manhattan, stressed that the
investigation was
still in its early
stages. Theres a lot
more work to do,
John Ashe
and as we investigate
further, we will be asking the question, Is
bribery business as usual at the UN? he said.
According to the complaint, Ashe took
some $200,000 from two Chinese businesswomen, Shiwei Yan and Heidi Hong Piao, in
exchange for attending a conference in China
in his official capacity as president of the General Assembly.
Yan and Piao were arrested on Monday
morning in Manhattan, according to law enforcement officials.
The complaint also accused Ashe and his
wife, a United States citizen, with understating their income on tax forms in 2013 and
2014, omitting $1.2 million earned from
bribes and other means. His wife was not
named or charged in the complaint.

Banana threatened by Moko disease

PARAMARIBO, Suriname- The banana industry in Suriname is currently facing a serious


threat from the so-called Moko disease, which
has affected nearly a quarter of the countrys
2,000 hectares of commercial banana plantations. Meanwhile, authorities here have called
in the assistance of international experts in a bid
to prevent a wipe out of the banana sector,
which would eventually result in the loss of
nearly 2,500 jobs.
The outbreak of the disease caused by
Moko bacteria poses a serious threat to the survival of the banana sector in our country. The

government has already sought international aid


to assist an established national crisis team in
finding solutions to this national issue, President Desi Bouterse said during the presentation
of the 2016 budget in parliament last Wednesday. Food and Agriculture Industries (FAI), the
countrys banana exporter, and the two unions
at the company recently rang the alarm bell,
after almost 400 hectares of the 1,000 hectares
at the Jarika plantation was affected by the bacterial disease. So far the Nickerie plantation has
not been affected by the disease, which is spread
by insects.

Obama Meets Jamaicas New Ambassador


US President, Barak Obama (l) poses with Jamaicas ambassador Ralph Thomas

President Obama shares a light moment with Jamaicas 12th Ambassador to the United
States, Ralph Thomas, after he presented his Letter of Credence to the President at a brief
ceremony held in the Oval Office at the White House on Thur., Sept. 17, 2015. President
Obama in his remarks said, Jamaica and the United States are tied together by history, culture, family and most importantly by friendship. He expressed strong support for the government and people of Jamaica and for the continued development of the special relationship
that exists between the two countries. A former teaching fellow at the University of the West
Indies (UWI), Mona School of Business and Management, Ambassador Thomas has experience in multinational banking and trade finance and served as Vice President of the Bank
of New York during his 22 years with that institution. Jamaicas envoy to Washington was
appointed Jamaicas 12th ambassador to the United States by Prime Minister Portia Simpson
Miller on Aug. 21, 2015. Previously, he was appointed Ambassador to the Republic of China
in 2013 and focused on strengthening relationships between the two countries in key areas
of development.

$1M in Restitution for consumers


deceived by pimsleurapproach.com

NEW YORK, NY:


ttorney General Eric T. Schneiderman is reminding
consumers to file complaints with his office to potentially receive restitution if they believe they were harmed by
the online marketing company, Internet Order LLC, which
operated the website PimsleurApproach.com and sold language audio courses over the Internet.
Many New Yorkers were duped by Internet Orders deceptive and fraudulent business practices. I am pleased that
my office can begin to provide restitution to those who were
affected, Schneiderman said. We wont tolerate companies
who seek to exploit New Yorkers for profit.
In August the Attorney General announced he had
reached a $1 million settlement with Internet Order as the
result of an investigation made in conjunction with the Attorney Generals of Washington and Pennsylvania, who also
received complaints about the company.
Internet Order was accused of using "negative option"
marketing in the sale of Pimsleur-branded language audio
courses, meaning consumers' failure to cancel the transaction
after the free trial of their initial purchase left them at risk
for potentially being charged hundreds of dollars. Some
courses that were advertised at $9.95 ultimately cost consumers more than $1,000.

Aviator Sports Complex in Brooklyn, New
York, when she takes on Republic of Ireland's
Christina 'Lightning' McMahon over 10
rounds.
The fight had been originally scheduled
for last month, but was postponed because of
some concerns of the New York State Athletic Commission, with the supporting fights
on the card. The word out of New York yesterday was "all is set, and we are ready to go."
The fight will be for the title left vacant
by Jackie Nava, who defeated Ashley on September 6 last year in Mexico. Since then,
Nava also won the World Boxing Association
title in the same weight class, and has been
declared a Super champion. She, therefore,
vacated the WBC title, and this is what Ashley and McMahon will be fighting for on October 29.

matches by FIFAs Disciplinary Committee
and has also been ordered to pay a fine of US
$5,150 for unsporting behaviour against a
match official in the World Cup qualifying
match against Nicaragua in Managua on September 8.

suspended for the next four World Cup qualifiers and ordered to pay a fine of US $5,150

language and gestures against a match official
also in the World Cup qualifier against
Nicaragua. They will miss the November 13
assignment against Panama as well as the
game away to Haiti four days later, the home
match against Costa Rica on March 25 and the
return match away to that country on March
29.
Assistant coach Miguel Coley is now set
to take charge of the team for the November

FIFA Crisis Deepens

ZURICH (AP):
epp Blatter and UEFA President Michel
Platini, the former France great who had
been favoured to take over as FIFA leader,
were both suspended for 90 days yesterday,
plunging football's governing body deeper
into crisis.
Blatter and Platini were suspended by
the FIFA ethics committee in the wake of a
Swiss criminal investigation. The decision
seemingly ends Platini's bid to succeed Blatter as FIFA president in the emergency election in February.
Another presidential hopeful, Chung
Mong-joon, was suspended for six years in
a separate case, and FIFA secretary general
Jerome Valcke was banned for 90 days.
The suspensions can be extended by up
to 45 days. The International Olympic Committee called on FIFA to consider a "credible
external presidential candidate of high integrity" as Blatter's replacement. "Enough is
enough," IOC president Thomas Bach said.
"We hope that now, finally, everyone at FIFA
has at last understood that they cannot continue to remain passive.

Did Saudi Change Your


Thinking As a Woman?

Hi Dr. Neva:
y name is Nicola, I am a New Yorker
who recently moved to ATL. I am
also from JamaicaWith my husband and
2 kids....I came across your article from an
old newspaper I had before I left NYC...I
am also planning to open a cleaning business as well.
Living here in ATL make me want to
invest in myself as well as my familys future. It definitely gives you more time to
think about your future....I also am planning to go back to school to finish my studies...my question to you how did you made
the transition into going to Saudi Arabia to
teach..And how did your experiences
change your thinking as a woman.. if you
come to ATL you are welcome to come
over for dinner...I thank you for your time
and energy.

Hello Nicola,
Thanks for contacting me. Its wonderful to
know people hold on to old copies of the
Street Hype Newspaper, it says a lot about
the content and the writers. Over the time I
have written for Street Hype, I have received many questions its readers. As such,
I decided to re-brand my column, Ask Dr.
Neva starting with your question.
I lived in the Atlanta area in 2005 2006. I was very intrigued with the size of
the houses and the nice cars. Before relocating there, I bought a Decorating franchise to operate in Georgia. That franchise

went down like the Titanic. For one, I failed


to plan as such I set myself up to fail. In
order to gain customers, I joined networking groups and I pushed myself to be active.
I realized that the Southern parts of
American can be a bit cliquish and people
do business with people they know. You
said that you wanted to go back to school.
I am a big promoter of education so I will
say go for it! It is also a great way to network and promote your business, plus a degree makes you marketable.
In references to your question to me, I
went to Saudi Arabia with an open mind. I
went there with the attitude that this is not
my culture and I will learn the culture so
that I will not offend its citizens. I have
learned to appreciate the culture and understand them as a person.
Although at times I got annoyed that I
needed a man to speak on my behalf, on the
flip side I felt respected being black. My
experience in Saudi changed my thinking
as a woman in that as a woman you need to
be respected, appreciated and loved. As one
of my Saudi students once told me, women
are like beautiful glasses she must be handled with care.

P.S: Thanks for your dinner invitation

Baruch College Ranks


Among Best Colleges

NEW YORK, NY:


Baruch College was recently ranked one of
the Best Colleges for overall value by
Money Magazine. Baruch ranks #71 on the
list of 736 public and private universities
surveyed.
Baruch was also listed as one of 50 Best
Public Colleges and 10 Commuter Colleges

and Alumni Earnings. They only ranked colleges that met these four conditions:
It was a public or not-for-profit fouryear college or university. It had enough
cost, quality and outcomes data available to
provide at least moderate confidence in an
assessment.
It was not in financial trouble, as indicated by a below-investment grade rating for
its bonds by Moodys.
It had a graduation rate at or above the
median for its type of school (public or private).
Money Magazine also used data gathered from other resources including
PayScale.com.

What other information should


be posted at the spa/salon?
In addition to licenses, an itemized list of all
services performed and prices charged for
those services should be displayed near the entrance or reception area.

lthough many consumers do not think that


health and safety issues are serious considerations when getting a facial, body wrap,
waxing or having their nails done, most beauty
treatments involve actions that can be dangerous, if not performed by properly trained and
licensed personnel.
Bacterial infections, transmission of diseases, adverse reactions to substances and
other physical injuries can all be the result of
improperly performed treatments.
Selecting a Salon or Spa
All beauty treatment specialists as well as

In New York State, there are five different
designations for beauty specialists: Cosmetologist; Esthetician; Nail Specialist; Natural Hair

show it to you.

ADVICE COLUMN

Never-Married Man Is Caught in Catch-22

18 STREET HYPE NEWSPAPER SEPTEMBER 19-30, 2015

Dear Divine Diva:


'm a 62-year-old male. My problem is I
have never been married, and when I go
on dates, women always want to know why
I'm still single.
The reasons are financial and also that
I'm allergic to cats. (A lot of women own
cats.) I have never made much money, and
I live with my mother. I can't afford to move
out, and even when I had a place of my
own, it didn't make much difference. I'd like
to be married, but this has become a catch22. No one wants to marry me because I
have never been married.
I have looked this issue up online and
it is a huge problem; women definitely discriminate against never-married men.
Sometimes I wonder if I should lie and say
I'm a widower. What can I say to women
who interrogate me about this?
-Searching For A Mate, Scarsdale

Dear Searching:
If you lie about the fact that you're a lifelong
bachelor, at some point the truth will come
out and your credibility will be shot. That's
why I'm advising you to tell the truth, the
whole truth and nothing but the truth.
Your marital status is nothing to be
ashamed of. Not everyone is meant to be
married. You say you are 62 and live with
your mother because you can't afford to live
on your own. Has it occurred to you that
you might not be able to afford being married?

WWW.STREETHYPENEWSPAPER.COM

BY DIVINE DIVA

divinestreethype@gmail.com

Also, marriage is a big adjustment for


anyone -- male or female. There is no guarantee that a person who has become set in
his or her ways can successfully make that
transition.

This is not to say that you shouldn't


have companionship, but you don't need a
wife for that. A good friend -- or several -could provide it.Always, Divine Diva

Online Boyfriend Shies Away


From Face-to-to-Face Meetings

Dear Divine Diva:


met a guy online. We have been dating
for some time now. We have a wonderful connection and have our dates on
Skype. The problem is, we have never met
in person.
Every time we plan on meeting, he
shuts up for a time, isn't reachable, then
suddenly reappears and makes excuses,
asking me to forgive him and plan another
meeting. Should I still believe this will
happen anytime soon?
- Left Hanging, White Plains

Dear Left Hanging:


I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings,
but something smells fishy here. "Cat
fishy." From where I sit, it appears your
wonderful connection may be only your
connection to the Internet.
A person who does this repeatedly
may not be who he has represented himself to be. Do not count on him for anything.
-Always, Divine Diva

Indian Doctors A Blessing


To Caribbean, Says Envoy

NEW DELHI, India:


aving spent nine years in New Delhi,
the Dominican Republic's Ambassador
to India has endorsed the expertise of Indian
medical practitioners who are dispensing
high quality medical care and saving lives in
the Caribbean and around the globe.
Ambassador Frank Hans Dannenberg
Castellanos, Dean of Diplomatic Corps in the
Indian capital, asserted the Caribbean is wellplaced to benefit from the talented nurses,
doctors, administrators and medical teams
who are sharing their expertise across the region. While most are in private practice or in
hospitals and clinics, many are caring for patients at Health City Cayman Islands on
Grand Cayman, one of only two Joint Commission International (JCI)-accredited hospitals in the Caribbean.
"JCI is one of the world's most demanding medical standards, and Health City Cayman Islands earned the prestigious Gold Seal
of Approval after being open for just one
year. That speaks volumes in terms of the
quality and efficiency of the facility, as well
as of the skills of the doctors, most of whom
were trained in distinguished Indian medical
universities," stated Castellanos.
"Some of the best doctors in the world
were trained right here in India," said the

Ambassador Hans Dannenberg

Ambassador, speaking from his New Delhi


office and adding, "If you want to see their
value in the West, just look at all the Indian
names listed in the prestigious practices and
top hospitals in London, Paris, Berlin and
New York. Even CNN's award-winning chief
medical correspondent is of Indian origin."
The government official believes the establishment of Health City Cayman Islands
by India-born physician and cardiac surgeon
Dr. Devi Shetty "will be a tremendous benefit and continuing blessing for people living
in the Caribbean - including those in my
beautiful country, the Dominican Republic.

10 Reasons to Visit an RDN

Courtesy of Sharon Denny, MS, RDN


o you want to lose or gain weight? Are
you pregnant, looking to become pregnant or just had a child? Are you looking for
ways to maintain your health in your older
years? Are you an athlete looking to boost
performance?
These are just a few of the reasons people seek the expert, science-based advice of a
registered dietitian nutritionist.
Here are 10 common reasons you should
consult with a registered dietitian nutritionist:
You have diabetes, cardiovascular
problems or high blood pressure. An RDN
serves as an integral part of your health-care
team by helping you safely change your eating plan without compromising taste or nutrition.
You are thinking of having or have
had gastric bypass surgery. Since your
stomach can only manage small servings, it's
a challenge to get the right amount of nutrients in your body. An RDN will work with
you and your physician to develop an eating
plan for your new needs.
You have digestive problems. A registered dietitian nutritionist will work with your
physician to help fine-tune your diet so you
are not aggravating your condition with fried
foods, too much caffeine or carbonation.
You're pregnant or trying to get pregnant. A registered dietitian nutritionist can
help make sure you get nutrients such as folate, especially during the first three months
of pregnancy, lowering your newborns risk
for neural tube or spinal cord defects.
You need guidance and confidence for
breast-feeding your baby. A registered dietitian nutritionist can help make sure you're
getting enough iron, vitamin D, fluoride and
B vitamins for you and your little one.

3 Ways to Boost Traffic to


Your Small Business Website

Highlighting the opportunities and challenges of local business

By Amanda Eldridge, PR Newswire


hat is better than one view on your
website? More views! Have a website
but the traffic numbers are lacking? Looking
to drive traffic to your relevant and exciting
content? Follow the tips below to gain a
larger audience and leave a lasting impression while doing so.

1) Content is King.
With the search engine algorithm updates
and the need for good content, it is no surprise how imperative great content is. Write
for your audience, not robots. This will help
build your brand and improve your online
visibility. Link for relevant content and keep
the links to a minimum (3-5 links). Dont forget linking to your own website and other
pages this is data-rich food for search engine crawlers. The added bonus is your users
will have the content they need in a sensible
way. This builds trust and credibility.

2) Social Integration.
Social Media is the current landscape to connect with your audience. Chances are, your
business is utilizing a multitude of social
channels and engaging with your audience.
Be sure to add a call-to-action on these social

channels to get more information on your


website. 140 characters to inspire and have
your audience seek for more information.
Use your social efforts to drive traffic to your
site. Looking to gain more traffic on social
media channels? Use it regularly and use
#hashtags appropriately. Unfamiliar with
#hashtag*? The hashtag connects your message with the #topic or #cause so those seeking information can easily find it.
*Too many #hashtags can have the reverse outcome and users will see this as spam
instead. Opt for 1-3 hashtags per message.

3) Multimedia = Attention Grabbing


Images and video capture the attention of
your users and search engines alike. Multi-

media increase visibility because all are inherently intrigued by visuals. Including an
image/video on your press releases, blog
posts, social media channels and website puts
a bull's eye target for your users' line of vision.
Simply put: multimedia gets noticed and
being noticed is the first step in driving traffic
to your website and brand. Take the next step
and use the multimedia efforts within your
social media strategy.
Need a website to get started? Contact
PR Newswire to discuss our MediaRoom solution. We pride ourselves on the ease of use
and dedication to finding the right solution
for you. We also offer integrated social media
options within the website. Looking to expand your current website? We can build a
news center to house all information members of the media need to know. Whether you
need a helping hand or a full-scale tutorial,
PR Newswire is happy to partner with you
for your business needs.

-Amanda Eldridge is the director of strategic


channels at PR Newswire where she educates
small business owners and nonprofits on affordable PR & marketing solutions.
