Ten Ways To Succeed In The Digital Landscape
Be real: Honesty and transparency are very valued qualities online. The internet is an un-moderated medium, so whether you’re publishing a tweet or an in-depth blog post, the only way to build trust is to earn it by keeping the facts straight.

Be iterative: The famous quote “Change is the only constant in life” is more apt than ever in the age of the internet. Facebook was only 5 years old when Whatsapp emerged to steal younger users away and Whatsapp was only three years old when Snapchat became the hottest app in the teenage demographic.
Facebook, by its own admission, was oblivious to the change in the digital landscape from desktop to mobile for a short while, but quickly rectified that situation, and has managed to stay on top by either buying or creating new apps of its own.
