How are you scaling nonprofits and businesses
Recently, I have been seeing youth nonprofits really scale up. Some have a huge number of chapters or even 20k+ instagram followers. How are they able to scale it up so much and reach so many people? Same question with large and lucrative youth led businesses. Would love to know your thoughts on how

I'm not expert so dont take this advice to heart, but what I think is that they have consistency in posting and marketing to the right audiences to the point where they grew their pages/channels to large sizes. Something I've noticed with people that are successful with this type of marketing and business are only the people that were consistent with posting and advertising, as well as getting their name around (and sometimes getting lucky)

@Jaden Ayodele I think its possible, but you would need to crank out a lot of content everyday and make sure it's worthwhile content (the only way you get people to follow you is if youre helpful). But again, I'm no expert so you might have to see what works for you

I also think a cool hobby would be just to explore Wikipedia or Google earth since you could learn a lot and be using your time better compared to scrolling or something of the like

Also producing is good if you like music since you can also keep it as an ec/side hustle/ creative expression
Tips for SAT Prep
After seeing Niti's post, I got the idea to do this one since I'm also in the midst of studying SAT, so I'll give my tips and strategies I've used so far. Everything here is important, so try not to skip any of these because each of them helped me improve a great amount. 1.) Use Khan Academy They have a whole DSAT (Digital SAT) guide for everybody, and its so helpful for breaking down concepts you arent strong in. I actually didnt understand the hype behind Khan Academy until I started using the DSAT guide and I have to say it does live up to the hype. 2.) Careless Mistakes and Easy Concepts Any sort of careless mistakes could cost you a few valuable points in the future, so don't even risk taking them. Make sure to perfect the art of getting the question with perfect efficiency and not "Oh well, it was a mistake, so I won't count it". My Achilles tendon was writing off the easy concepts, since the concepts I always missed were the ones I said "I know this topic good enough, I dont need to study it". I ended up not making that much progress due to that, so make sure to cover the concepts you dont know even if you think you do. For me, it was torture going through the Khan Academy guides for these topics that I already knew with my brain screaming at me that I'm wasting my time. It turns out that feeling was exactly what was capping my practice test scores, and breaking through that feeling was necessary to improve my score. 3.) Avoid Burn-Out Don't hyperfocus on SAT prep or stress over practice test results, etc. Just keep a relaxed and laid back attitude about SAT (even if your exam date is close) since that will get you farther than stressing about it. If you get a question or concepts wrong, don't worry. Just review it until you fix the problem then move on. This is the only thing that prevents me from burning out. There's so much more I could write, but it's late night for me and I got to sleep. Ask any further questions in the comments and I'll answer them in the future

@Aparajitan Narasimhan I never used Khan academy for reading since I don't have as big of a problem for reading as I do math, I just read everyday to strengthen my interpretation skills and that works a little bit

@Aparajitan Narasimhan Thanks
Quick Advice
Don't care what anyone else thinks I wish I took this advice myself. If you want to be successful, you genuinely cannot waste your time thinking about what others think about you. It's difficult to explain but what you do in highschool will only effect YOU. You most likely won't even see half the kids from your school in the next 5 years so don't give up your favorite hobby or class for them. Don't let such small people effect you so much when there's so much more ahead of you. Do what you need to do in order to succeed.

This right here is arguably one of the most important things you could ever learn in your life. You are severely limiting yourself if you try to stick to what others say about you/think about you. Forget about them and focusing on sort of "growing into yourself"
ACT or SAT?
Hi everyone! I wanted to see everyones opinion on whether I should take the ACT or SAT. I'm not sure which one is more "impactful" for college apps but I'm currently studying for the SAT. Lmk what you think!

There's no difference in whichever one is most impactful, they're both just standardized tests. The majority of people do SAT, but feel free to do ACT if you are good at science since it has a dedicated science section
