With so many things to do in online marketing and social media, in particular, it makes sense to automate when and where possible. With the right tools, you can create a profitable Instagram account that’s completely set and forget - bringing in leads and money on autopilot.

Step One: Use the Right Automation Tools

There is no shortage of Instagram automation tools out there to help you get the job done. Using the right tool can make all the difference, allowing you to focus less of your time and energy on tasks such as following new people or liking their content, and more of your resources on creating the kind of content your followers will love.

Step Two: Follow New People Every Day

While automation tools make it easier to follow people, it’s still important to make sure you’re following new accounts every day. You should be looking for influencers to follow, so you can get to know them, build relationships with them, and possibly partner with them in the future to tap into their following to continue growing your own. 

Some anime is good, some anime is great, and some anime is life-changing. These shows range from the classics that helped put the genre on the map to innovative new programming that pushes the boundaries of animated storytelling. One of the best parts about anime is that the stories are only limited by the imaginations of their creators, so don’t expect this list to be full of traditional fantasy and sci-fi sagas. If you’re looking for anime that will change your life, here are the shows you need to watch. 

Cowboy Bebop

The first on this list is a fairly universally loved anime. A fascinating genre mishmash that transcends science fiction, Westerns, film noir, and martial arts, this 26-episode epic is a prime example of great anime. It features complex characters, a snappy soundtrack that keeps the story bouncing along, and tight writing that never feels like it’s diving into filler territory. Best of all, both language tracks are outstanding. Whether you prefer subtitles or Americanized dubs, you’re in for a treat because the voice acting is top-notch throughout the entire series. Cowboy Bebop is one of those few programs that isn’t simply quality anime; it’s also just great television in general. 

When hurricanes are in the forecast, homeowners worry about their roofs, windows and trees. But a home’s plumbing system will take a serious beating during the storm. Taking steps to protect your plumbing during a hurricane can help minimize the damage – and the clean-up after the storm.

1. Make Sure All Drains are Clear

Before the storm hits, remove any obstructions from storm drains to ensure that they can handle excess water runoff. Keeping these drains clear will also help relieve stress on pipes in water-logged soil.

“When a major weather event like hurricane Florence hits, your storm drains and pipes are doing double duty,” says VA Plumbing Pros. “Not only are they having to handle an excessive amount of water, they’re also dealing with the extra debris that large amounts of runoff wash down.”

Take the time to check all storm drains near your home and along curbs to ensure that they’re free of debris. Extra debris will put strain on these drains, so ensuring they’re clear before the storm will help relieve some of this stress.

2. Turn Off the Water

Locate your home’s main water valve, and turn it off before the storm. You don’t want to be outside searching for the main shut-off valve in the middle of a serious downpour.
