33 Helpful Tips For Public Speakers
|
By George L. Rosario, Bible Based Business Consultant at GC Rosario Group
People seriously think that Public Speakers, including Pastors have an easy job. They think it’s easy to get in front of a crowd of people and present an audience captivating, attention grabbing, action inspiring message several times a week. That is of course until they try it.
I’ve been in the professional public speaking field since 1990. I was a kid when I started. 18 years old and fresh out of high school. I remember those early days. My fee for speaking was lunch and a coffee. I wrestled with the jitters in the beginning. Like most things, the more I did it, the better and more comfortable I became.
Today, not to toot my own horn, but I can deliver a 45 minute speech with less than an hour of preparation. That’s not an ideal situation, but if the need presents itself and the pay is adequate, I can guarantee I will not disappoint. I proved this at a real estate convention with 5,000 people in attendance. The keynote speaker was stuck at another airport. The organizer asked me if I would step in. I agreed, for the same pay plus hazard pay as the keynote speaker would have received. I was given less than 5 minutes to prepare. I delivered a 45 minute speech and the reception was such that I was immediately booked as the keynote speaker for the following year. I became #GeorgeTheSpeaker that day.
Some people go so far as to spend minutes, if not hours, if not days criticizing the way a Speaker delivers a message. You know the type of person I’m talking about. These are the people who will go to an event, or go to a class, or go to church, sit through a message shaking their heads, and then seek people out to listen to them spew poison out of their mouths about the speaker. These are also the same type of people who would probably never work up enough courage to speak in front of a room full of people.
I started this off like this to assure you that if you become a public speaker, or if you just agree to speak at an intimate event, odds are that you will have at least one person in the audience who will criticize you. So don’t ever think you will be a perfect public speaker. As someone who has been speaking since 1990 (I was 18), I can assure you that over 3 decades later still haven’t made me the G.O.A.T. (greatest of all time) in the speaking arena. That title sits with my Lord Jesus Christ, who over 2 centuries after His last public speech is still changing millions of lives a year.
Now that you know you will never be perfect, understand that having a fear of public speaking doesn’t make you an odd ball either. This is such a common fear that there is even a scientific term for it; Glossophobia. Experts estimate that as much as 77% of the population suffers some form of anxiety regarding public speaking. It’s perfectly common for people to feel nervous about speaking publicly, presenting at work, or giving a speech. I have worked with Pastors who needed additional coaching & training for every step of their churches growth; the bigger the church, the more nervous they became.
Some people have a more serious phobia known as social anxiety disorder (SAD). This form of Glossophobia can become severely damaging to an individual’s social life. These require extensive therapy and a lot of patience. It’s not a condition one can conquer overnight. Not treating this disorder correctly can create an even greater problem. People with social anxiety disorder often experience real physical pain and discomfort when attempting to speak publicly.
Fortunately, most individuals can be helped with the proper training and coaching. We’ve seen huge improvements in people who suffer from a mild case of butterflies in the stomach, to those who are crippled by more severe conditions. I’ve seen some individuals becomes paralyzed with fear, and some even passing out. Surprisingly, I’ve seen many of these same individuals graduate to become much better speakers.
Since not everyone can afford coaching, training or treatment, I’ve decided to give you some basic tips to help you become a better speaker. I will list 33 of them and if you want any further information on them. simply email GC Rosario Group at [email protected] for more information. If you are a public figure (business owner, leader, manager, presenter, public speaker, Pastor, educator, etc.) who would like professional assistance for yourself or your team, you can schedule a complimentary 30 minute consultation here to see how the professionals at GC Rosario Group can best serve you.
Speak on topics that interest you. Your passion will show. Preparation is key. Study the material well before presenting it. Practice makes almost perfect. Practice with a friend or in front of a mirror. Study the crowd. Know who you will presenting in front of. Stay positive. Don’t spend time with negative people before going on stage. Visualize a successful presentation. Expect the crowd to enjoy your speech. If possible, visit the venue or space before presenting there. Go for a brisk walk before presenting. Get some oxygen to the brain. Don’t eat foods that make you edgy or jittery. No sweets, coffee or alcohol. Get enough rest. You know your body best. Get as much sleep as you need. Don’t eat just before speaking. Let the food digest before you present. Dress appropriate for the event. Be the attraction, not a distraction. If you find yourself thinking negatively, think of something positive. Talk to someone about your fear. Make sure the person cares about you. Have notes & bullet points ready. This is separate from the whole speech. Practice one last time a couple of hours before you go up to speak. Check all equipment and the room before your guests start to arrive. Walk up and down a set of stairs a few times. Motion creates emotion. Relieve some tension by hitting the can before you hit the stage. Have water on stage. Hydrates and gives you a break to regroup. Being nervous and being exited feels the same. Call it excitement! Own the space. The stage, the mic and the podium are yours. Do NOT read your speech/talk on stage but still have a copy just in case. Props and visuals are great attention keepers, but don’t have too many. Welcome audience participation with yes and no questions. Find the smiley, engaged people in the crowd and focus your eyes on them. Don’t be a comedian, but if you get people to laugh, you got ’em hooked! Don’t stay stuck at the podium. Walk around when comfortable to do so. Robots suck! Speak clearly, at your pace, breath, smile and change volume. Move your hands around. Be animated. Your not a photo. Volunteer to speak often in smaller settings to get used to the stage. Join social/networking groups and speak to as many people as possible. HAVE FUN! Laugh at small mistakes. They make you seem authentic!
** BONUS: If you are still uncomfortable being the center of attention, look for speaking opportunities where you are a member of a panel of speakers. That way, you are not solely responsible for carrying the event, and can actually feed off the energy of the other speakers.

The do’s & don’ts of being a webinar host
|
Webinars have become a powerful way for individuals and organizations to build a solid audience base, nurture relationships, and build authority around a brand. That said, they can be a lot of work.
It is so much more than knocking up a PowerPoint presentation and ad-libbing for 45 minutes. A successful webinar host needs to deliver an engaging topic seamlessly, and interact with the audience at the same time.
Being a webinar host is also about stimulating audiences’ curiosity, inspiring them, and maintaining their interest up to the last minute. Put like that, it doesn’t sound too easy, does it?
So what do you actually need to bring to the table to become a successful webinar host? What mistakes do you need to avoid? What can you do to set yourself up for success? This post will give you the answer to those questions.
The do’s: What you need to do
A well-prepared host will not only increase audience retention, but will also seem more relaxed and highly professional while they deliver a flawless, entertaining, and stimulating webinar. Here are some best practices:
Pick an interesting topic
One of the main reasons why audiences join your webinar is because they’re interested in the topics that you cover. So, consistently picking topics that are relevant and resonate with your audience is crucial.
A more specific topic is always better than a general presentation on a broad subject. Not only will it give the audience more unique values, but it also can help you stay focused and keep your webinar on track, especially during the Q&A.
Also, be sure to provide professional speakers or guests who can give attendees valuable, in-depth information. You and your team can find such speakers on free platforms such as SpeakerHub.
Choose an ideal webinar platform
Picking the webinar platform you’re going to use might sound simple, but with so many options available out there, it can be tricky to choose the best one for you.
Some platforms have too many annoying ads, an overwhelming user interface, a lack of features, and other drawbacks.
An ideal webinar platform needs to work on multiple devices, including desktop and mobile apps. It also should have a friendly user interface that’s easy to use for both presenter and attendees, while still providing the functionality required by you and your speakers.
Pay attention to all the equipment
Webinar technical difficulties are not fun. So make sure that you have all required equipment, including an HD webcam, good lighting, good quality microphones, computer backup, and a reliable internet connection and back-up.
Test your webinar setup before the event starts, just in case you or your guests have any issues with it.
Using high-quality and well-prepared equipment will boost the quality of your webinar, demonstrating to the audience that you’re a professional, and ensuring that they have a great experience.
Practice. Practice. Practice!
“Practice makes perfect.” You might hear that overused adage way too often. But, it’s true.
Rehearse your presentation well in advance. This will ensure you’re prepared, confident, and are ready to answer any questions that might arise during the webinar.
Through practice you’ll understand what needs to be improved, which parts you’re struggling to explain, be able to adjust your pace of delivery, and more. It gives you time to perfect all the issues so that everything goes without a hitch on the day.
The don’ts: The mistakes to be avoided
Apart from following the best practices above, you also need to make sure you avoid the common mistakes made by webinar hosts. Being aware of what these are will help you avoid making them yourself.
Lack of promotion
You’ve known what topic you’ll break down, prepared all the equipment, and had more than enough practice. You feel so ready for the event. What’s left is to let as many people as possible know about it.
Create a landing page on your website so your visitors can sign up seamlessly. Send an email newsletter to your subscribers, tell your social media followers, and more.
To make the announcement more convincing, you could create a short event video to give people an inside look at what they can expect from the webinar.
Choosing a sub-optimal date and time
If you have promoted your webinar in advance, but there are only a few people attending when it goes live, what did you do wrong? It could well be that you chose the wrong day and time.
If the time is not right, then many people will miss out on your webinar.
If you don’t choose a day that works for everyone, then many will skip it.
Also, don’t forget to check for any other conflicting draws for your audience at your chosen date and time. This may be a competitor’s event that targets a similar audience or something completely unrelated such as a major sporting event.
Making the webinar too salesy
Never host a webinar just to promote your products or services. No one wants to spend their precious time hearing you bragging about your brand. In other words, the main purpose of your webinar is to provide value to the audience. And if you can make your tips actionable, even better.
But this doesn’t mean that promoting your brand in the webinar is prohibited. You just need to do it the right way, subtly, without making it the focus. Start by highlighting the audience’s pain points, listen to them, and discuss how they can possibly solve any problems they have. In the course of your presentation it should become clear to them that your brand is one of the solutions they should consider.
Using boring presentation slides
Your presentation slides should be simple, but that doesn’t mean they should be boring. Boring slides use too much text, not enough variation, and can make your audience yawn from just looking at them.
To make them more appealing and eye-pleasing, you need to add visuals. You can use images or charts so as to cut back on the text and help audiences retain your points easily.
Remember that your audience members can’t both read and listen to you at the same time, so don’t give them too much to read if you want them to listen.
Bottom line
Hosting a successful webinar needs a lot of preparation and hard work. Just like anything in life, the more prepared you are, the more successful you will be.
The key here is to understand what you should and should not do. Bearing in mind the points we’ve outlined above, you should be well on your way to becoming a successful webinar host.
Keep this checklist handy and good luck with hosting an amazing webinar!

Is It Really Impossible To Control Your FEAR Without Doing This?
|
A young ambitious 23 year old recently asked me, “What’s the secret to overcoming your stutter?” I said to him, “ Once you realize that the secret starts within you, there isn’t a secret anymore.” Although he asked me this question, I’ve realized that most people are thinking the same thing too.
I started the journey of overcoming my stutter during my teenage years and focused on every aspect of my communication. I was driven, ambitious, persistent, eager and had tenacity because I knew that learning how to effectively communicate would transform my life. You see, everybody has these sets of intangible skills (even you) but some are holding themselves back from unleashing their fullest potential. If you really think about it though, it seems like F.E.A.R is the biggest factor.
F.E.A.R= False Evidence Appearing Real
There is a statistic that states that 77% of the population is afraid to speak in public. Because of these sets of fears: Fear of judgement, Fear of embarrassment, Fear of failure, etc. Although these fears tend to empower many, you have the ability to control these fears.
William Wrigley said, “A man’s doubts and fears are his worst enemies.”
Everybody in this world has been possessed by fear in their lives but many have realized how to control their fears. In other words, they learned how to rewire their mindset by infusing fear into action. By executing what you fear the most, you are slowly dominating your fears. If you aren’t allowing yourself to break away from these fears, it will dictate your future and how you perceive yourself. Simply put, your mindset is the key to your overall success. That is why I teach my clients how to transform their mindsets so they can speak with absolute confidence. If you want to learn more about this, pick a time to speak with us.
Excited to hear from you,
Daniel

Public Speaking for Beginners 4 Steps
|
Step 1: Brainstorming and Formulation of Ideas
The tone and the information should be understandable to the particular audience you are speaking to. Try to answer the obvious questions and build a relationship from early on.
Learn as much as possible about the topic and use common questions to expand your learning horizon.
Step 2: Speech Writing
In the beginning, the first thing you must do is to write down topics you want to focus on in bullet points with one or two sentences.
When writing distinguish three clear parts as Introduction, Description, and Conclusion. Here are some tips:
Startup with a curious fact, a Dramatic question, a quote, or a Story.
Be positive.
Make it short. Around 20 minutes.
The audience must know the problem and the proposed solution by the end.
Summarize before you finish.
Follow up with a motivating or inspiring finish.
Step 3: Practicing
The target is being natural while speaking. An occasional glance at your notes should be enough to remember. Here are some tips for practicing:
Practice in front of a mirror a few times. Get feedback from a friend.
Audiences are eager to hear what you have to say. So be clear and prompt.
Relevant gestures, occasional movement, and eye contact are very impactful. So use them often.
Keep your notes on the podium, and walk around.
Step 4: Visualize
Visualization of your topic and related things can be a very powerful thing if you do it right. Use PowerPoint presentations, photos, charts, and videos to make your point.
Keep in mind:

I Talked To 1400 Strangers About Their Sex Lives. Here’s What I Learned.
|
1. Many of us are looking for permission to be ourselves.
via giphy.com
More than 20% of the hundreds of questions submitted to Touchpoint so far, begin with the phrase “Is it okay…”
Examples of this are: Is it okay to date someone significantly younger than me, Is it okay to sleep with someone I work with, Is it okay to tell my partner that I’m attracted to other people, Is it okay to wear women’s clothing under my clothing?
I was moved by the realization that nobody was asking for permission to do anything we may collectively consider to be wrong or amoral, i.e. Is it okay to have non-consensual sex with a minor?
All of these questions were posed by adults just looking for permission to be themselves and explore perfectly healthy experiences and relationships.
It appears that in some sense, many of us are looking for validation that we aren’t ‘weird’ or undeserving of love. Keeping this in mind as we navigate our lives and relationships is paramount to truly showing up for ourselves and others.
2. Slow the f*ck down.
via giphy.com
We grow up learning that sex is basically a means to an end, a way to scratch an itch, the resolution of involuntary biological needs. So discovering Tantra through the Touchpoint community was life-changing for me.
Tantra redefined sex for me as a way to get as close as possible to another human being — and myself.
It’s not about where we go, but where we are. How conscious can we get in this moment, in this position, in this inhale or exhale?
Someone recommended a book that started my journey called Tantra: The Art of Conscious Loving. It covers the basics of the chakras, breath work, and intimate, new ways to explore yourself and your partner.
3. Your imagination is a sex toy.
via giphy.com
I used to think that BDSM was a scenario in which I was naked and chained to a wall while a woman dressed in leather whipped me, called me names, and I was most definitely crying. Just weird, kinky, painful, aggressive sexual exploration. Not into it.
It turns out — I was wrong. After listening to dozens of stories shared by ‘mainstream people’ who explored BDSM with partners, a new definition emerged for me: BDSM is Fantasy.
It’s an exercise in tapping into your imagination to elevate your sexual experiences from the purely physical to the psychologically fantastic. And it doesn’t have to hurt.
BDSM can be something as simple as role playing or experimenting with restraints or blindfolds.
Turning sex into something playful and imaginative can bring two people closer together, cultivate trust, and whip your relationship into shape.
4. Words matter.
via giphy.com
Sexual exploration
The word promiscuity makes people feel badly. Especially women. It’s harsh, judgmental, and actually, incredibly sexist. For instance, there is a Wikipedia page for Promiscuity and a separate one exclusively for Female promiscuity. Additionally, the etymology for promiscuity means “indiscriminately choosing sexual partners.” Selecting things indiscriminately and having a lot of them are not the same. For instance, Warren Buffet has many investments. I don’t think he chooses them indiscriminately.
Just because someone has many sexual partners, does not mean they haven’t chosen those partners carefully and with intention.
One suggestion that got a lot of nods was replacing promiscuity with a new phrase: sexual exploration. Hundreds of Touchpoint attendees reported that exploring themselves through sex allowed them to figure out what they want, what types of people they’re attracted to, and how to communicate needs and boundaries in life — not just sex.
Sex can be incredibly empowering, and serve as a doorway to personal discovery.
via giphy.com
Partners
Words like boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, and wife are loaded with gender-specific expectations that feel outdated and often unjust. Touchpoint attendees tend to use gender-neutral terms like partner, which can be defined uniquely by anyone. It shifts the definition of roles within a partnership from this is what society thinks we should be to this is what we think we should be.
Women
This one’s specifically for the bros. We need to stop referring to fully grown adult females as “girls.” They’re women. We need to show them the respect they deserve.
5. Partnerships are constantly being redefined.
via giphy.com
Defining the relationship (DTR) is generally a conversation centered around two questions: What are we and where is this going?
Traditionally, the answers to these questions tend to point to things such as “we’re boyfriend and girlfriend or husband and wife” and “we’re working towards a long-term commitment and possibly a family.”
The problem with these questions and answers is that they don’t clearly define how we plan to serve our partnership, and how we need it to serve us in return. This generates a lot of poor assumptions around commitment, communication, sex, and more.
Instead, the better questions when defining the relationship are “What can I count on you for?” and “What do you need?”
These questions can and should be revisited regularly.
Answers to these questions may range from things like monogamy, a weekly date night, or candid conversation when I feel something is wrong.
Being truthful about these things seems to be integral when working towards cultivating space and safety.
We are constantly defining and redefining our partnerships. It seems best to do it consciously, honestly, and with the intention of getting closer.
6. Masturbation is more than touch and go.
via giphy.com
I used to think that masturbation was squarely at the intersection of I’m alone and I’m horny. But as we touched the subject over and over again, I realized that masturbation is incredibly nuanced, and serves a variety of purposes for people in addition to having an orgasm.
People shared stories of masturbating to release stress, to tap into creative energy, or to distract themselves from physical pain. Some people masturbate in public because the possibility of getting caught turns them on. Some people fantasize about current lovers, while others exclusively fantasize about former flings. Some use toys, some use shower heads. One woman shared a story about masturbating to videos of herself masturbating.
In general, there is a lot of shame and denial around masturbation. But when we make it safe to talk about, the way humans explore themselves can be a fascinating window into their self-esteem, creativity, and needs.
7. Space and safety, FTW.
Whether we talked about BDSM, dating, kissing, fighting, polyamory, anything really — it seemed that two things needed to be cultivated in order to create and maintain a healthy, thriving relationship: space and safety.
Space is the freedom to explore myself and the world around me without the fear of judgement or abandonment.
Safety is the freedom to express what I’m thinking and feeling without the fear of judgment or abandonment.
When either space or safety is compromised, relationships can feel suffocating and stressful, and don’t promote us being our best selves.
It feels like this stands true for all relationships including with family, friends, and colleagues.
8. We can all learn to be great lovers and partners.
There was a time, early on in our lives, when we didn’t know how to put on our own socks. Someone had to teach us. It may have been frustrating at first, but eventually, we got the hang of it. This year, I learned that being good in bed, in partnership, and in life is similarly skill-based.
The idea that some of us are good in bed and some of us aren’t is false. The more accurate statement is some of us have learned how to be good partners and some have not, but each of us has the capacity to grow.
There are practices, tools, and techniques that we can each acquire to become more empathetic, communicative, sensitive, and supportive — to be better in bed, in love, and in life.
These things show up in the forms of stories, books, podcasts, ted talks, products, and of course, events. If we want to be amazing lovers and partners, we can be. Like anything else, it takes a bit of intentional practice.
9. When you pursue magic, you find it.
Last July, at the fourth Touchpoint ever, Nyla met Andrew.
This summer, Nyla and Andrew are getting married.

My Experience With ThreadBeast, or How Not To Get FUCKED
|
ThreadBeast home screen
I’m not gonna sugar coat it, I like clothes. That said, I don’t think I exactly have the then best sense of fashion, but I pay attention. I like looking nice, it makes me feel confident. Growing up I attempted all sorts of styes from what could only be described as “Men in Black” to Flannel, Khakis, and Loafers.
Over the past couple of years living in NYC, however, and going to school I’ve been inundated with all sorts of blends and tastes in clothing and style. This is a jarring difference from my past life in the armed services where everyone was required to dress the same most of the time.
January 2018 I began to flirt with a more urban street style, and was interested in exploring possibilities, but I didn’t really know where to start. I picked up some joggers from Zumiez as well as a pair of Black Janoski’s and some sweatshirts. This was nice, but I knew I needed some help. It was around this time that I saw a ThreadBeast Ad. I did a little research and thought that they could perhaps expand my style.
WHAT IS THREADBEAST EXACTLY??
According to their website, they “[D]eliver carefully curated packages of street wear every month, all based on your style and preferences.”
While disputing an unauthorized charge with my bank from ThreadBeast they provided a description of their service as:
[A]n online subscription servive that provides customers with a monthly curated box of men’s clothing. Customers complete a style profile that a personal stylist from ThreadBeast uses to select clothing products for each monthly shipment. Customers then choose a subscription plan an pay a recurring fee each billing cycle. The recurring fee varies depended on the selected plan. Each billing cycle, the subscription fee is charged and the customer’s products are shipped to the registered shipping address with a shipping tracking number.
It was $135 for the Premium tier and at the time it wasn’t such a big deal for me to splurge a bit on some new clothes.
Price Guides
I signed up. I spoke with one of the stylists who took down a few notes. I was excited. A month or so passes, and finally I receive my package.
I excitedly open it only to find, well, a mediocre mix of clothes that I might wear and clothes that I’d never wear. I even tried to pawn off my clothes to some friends and they wouldn’t take them.
If I remember right, there was an olive “Elwood” bomber (it’s already falling apart), A pair of white “Diamond Shoes” (this is one of those maybe wear clothes — but white shoes in NYC is asking for trouble), A blue plaid “Cambridge Classics” button down (another maybe wear but I feel like I’d look like a cowboy), a hideous green and yellow long sleeve hoody by “the raw uncut” (I’d never wear that in a million years), a white and gold dad hat (the only thing I actually like in this package), and a pair of “Huf” Socks, oh and a gray “Diamond” snap down jacket/sweatshirt.
Would you ever wear this monstrosity? Shoot me an email and if I haven’t thrown it out yet i’ll send it to you [email protected]
It honestly felt like I was getting clearance rack clothes — and not even clearance rack clothes that looks good, like Burlington Coat Factory clearance. Basically, clothes no one wanted. But listen, I’m someone who doesn’t mind giving second chances.
So I shot them an email and made a few changes. Instead of noting that I would rock any colors I noted that I wanted more muted colors. I also noted that a few types of brands that I like, and that I’d like some pants options.
So I eagerly await again, only to get my package that is, seriously, worse than the package before. I think the only thing I enjoyed from the package is a shredded red “Civil Regime” shirt. It was at this point that I suspended my account. I asked them to suspended it until further notice and they told me I can’t do that. I can only suspend it for up to 2 months, so begrudgingly I agree.
“Fine, I’ll think about if for the next two months,” I tell myself, “and If I want to cancel it I’ll let them know.”
Probably the only interesting items I ever recieved.
OR SO I THOUGHT.
It turns out that you can only cancel your account 7 days after the last package arrives.
By the way, this is only mentioned deep in their FAQ’s in clearly the most untransparent way, and I know I’m not alone in this observation judging by the numerous complaints on their Better Business Bureau profile.
That means I would have to get another one of their clearance rack packages for $135 before I can cancel.
I COULD HAVE GOTTEN BETTER CLOTHES AT ROSS.
But I didn’t realize this (because it honestly seems common sense to allow someone to cancel up until the point that the next charge goes through) so little did I know that at the end of July when I was coming to the end of my account suspension that they wouldn’t let me cancel my account even though I hadn’t received a package in 2 months.
The lack of transparency as well as lack of customer first attitude this company has is mind boggling. It’s absurd. They even play fast and loose with the idea of legal terms of service. Just take a look at their Terms of Service with how they introduce their ToS — or all least they did before I criticized them in one of my email communications:
Pretty sure this is written in english… but hey, what do I know….
“Legal mumbojumo, contact us if you have any questions — and want us to explain this in english. “
My response to them was:
“Furthermore, the way your refer to “terms” is interesting. Pretty sure it is legally questionable to tell your customers you will translate the “legal mumbojumbo” especially as it is written in english.”
They made some changes to that page…. the “Terms” subtitle is now…
New Terms Subtitle
“Legal mumbojumo, contact us if you have any questions — and want us to explain anything.”
I do find it interesting how often they change things without any notification. They even note that they may make changes and apparently you automatically agree if you aren’t proactive in saying otherwise. Here is the section on “Changes” on their website…
“Changes. THREADBEAST may make changes to the content and Services offered on the Site at any time. THREADBEAST can change, update, or add or remove provisions of these Terms, at any time by posting the updated Terms on this Site. If we make a material change to our service or your automatic renewal or continuous service terms, we will provide you with notice of that change. If you do not want to accept the change, you may cancel your subscription by notice to us by calling (877) 835–6997 or emailing [email protected], and your cancellation will be effective after your next renewal date. Otherwise, your continued use of the website or your subscription will constitute your acceptance of the change.”
This is especially interesting as I have never once received an email noting changes even though they have made changes to their site particularly surrounding cancelation policy. When I initially made the choice to cancel I discovered that I needed to call them during their business hours, but during my dispute they changed this to allowing for email as well. One would think that this might be important to inform their customers — if they were an ethical company.
ThreadBeast when you ask them to cancel your account after your account has been suspended for 2 months and you tell them you just want to cancel and they say it has been past the 7 day window.
I guess, though that I must take some blame, I should have researched the company. I should have read that their BBB profile has a C+ rating and is full of people with similar experiences. But hey, I guess if burning bridges and screwing your consumers is your business model carry on.
This consumers experience sounds similar to my experience. It also seems like they are finally getting on the ball in their responding to customers. Several of the complaints filed in 2017 are finally getting responded to nearly a year later.
I also find it ironic that they apparently seem too copy and paste responses… Customer left a size complaint and they responded with a cancellation response almost a year later.
Uh…whut.
What is this company ran by… children?
There are plenty of disgruntled customers on the BBB website and that should be a huge RED FLAG. Furthermore, get a load of this response. It starts with a “Hey, Shun…” clearly addressing one customer, then ends with…. “Thanks Melissa…”
…What is going on here???
Shun… Melissa… Do we have a case of mistaken identity????
I guess the moral of this story is don’t use ThreadBeast, or if you are going to, be full warned that they will probably hook you up with garbage clothes and some how squeeze an extra month out of you as you attempt to cancel your account. Be prepared to pay for at least a few items you would never wear and garbage customer service. But hey… it’s your money.

You will remember
the many times
this lovely city
broke your heart
while simultaneously
patching together its many pieces
through Summer vibes,
hot exotic foods
and pesky neighborhood dramas.
You will remember
the many moments
of loneliness
experienced by thousands here
yet, your happiness couldn’t be much clear
somewhere else,
so you think.
You will remember
the many conundrums you are facing
the dating apps laced in hopelessness
tagging with seamless desires
lurking for forever
in a city filled with one time players
bursting a complete disregard
from their profile taglines
the commitment fantasy you seek.
You will remember
the loud cries
the subway murmurs
the homeless in the streets at all time
the rich and their vacuous luxurious buildings.
You will think
that maybe you can make it here
then, to realize after 11 years
progress is nothing but illusionary
you grow
deeper in your pains.
It’s all confusing
it’s an abusive relationship
and here you go again
thinking melodiously
that there’s nowhere else
you’d rather be.

Kurt Metzger Needs to Shut Up
|
Much has been written on Kurt Metzger’s history of harassing women online for speaking out on women’s issues in a way that doesn’t quite jibe with him, but now, in the Year of Our Goddess 2016, he really, really needs to shut up.
Metzger’s most recent bout of misogyny disguised as a fair-and-balanced opinion comes after NYC comedian Aaron Glaser was banned from UCB after an internal investigation was done because multiple women alleged he had raped them over a series of years. Several NYC comedy clubs followed suit, banning Glaser and effectively bringing his comedy career to a screeching halt.
Metzger, who has, to my knowledge, never been raped, doesn’t think this is fair! Metzger, who, again, has never had the horrifying experience of cleaning mixture of blood and semen dripping out of his vagina and onto his leg after being held down while a man put it there, thinks women should go to the police. With a batting average of letting 97% of rapists get off without a day of jail time, how could women not think to do this?
Your use of the term “good hole” somehow makes me feel that maybe you don’t have everyone’s best interests in mind? Idk tho, might just be me.
Let’s break down this disgusting rant piece by piece, and then burn it in a ditch in the backyard and never speak of it again.
“Guys I have just heard some disturbing news, this guy Jiff Dilfyberg is a rapist! I know because women said it and that’s all I need! Never you mind who they are. They are women! ALL women are as reliable as my bible! A book that, much like a women, is incapable of lying!”
Kurt is really smart. If he knows anything, he knows 1) God isn’t real and 2) women lie. It doesn’t matter that he doesn’t know these women! It doesn’t matter that maybe he doesn’t need to know these women because every rape allegation is not about him! It doesn’t even matter that it was not just one woman, but multiple women, and that UCB has already conducted their own investigation as a private entity and decided to prioritize the safety of their community. Kurt is right. Kurt is logical.
“You think I would dare ask my God, Lord Jesus Christ the Nazarene to provide any “details” or “evidence” of any kind before I believe in him? Or a woman? No, because that be that would be like hammering the nails into Jesus My Lord’s feet! Or re-raping the victim’s good hole!!! Or asking for proof in a murder trial!”
Women who claim they’ve been raped without proof are exactly like people who want to control you via religion! They are the same. So, if you think waging wars over an imaginary God is insane, just wait until a woman tells you she’s been raped. Like, what are the odds?
“Anyway Jiff Dilfyberg is dangerous! So fucking dangerous that we can’t go to the police to report his many rapes! That would just be tooooo rapey, and the women are too brave for that. If we ask them to even merely also post a vague account of what happened before asking us to believe that would like re-raping their rape! These women are as BRAVE as they are sore!”
This is the paragraph that really gets me. Not only does Metzger not understand that the reason women don’t go to the police is because the rapist is “too dangerous”. There are a myriad of reasons a woman might choose not to go to the police, be it that she is afraid she will get laughed out of court for a lack of evidence (gee, what kind of people could be giving her that idea, Kurt?), the aforementioned low rates of imprisonment, rampant rape kit destruction in the US, or, you know, because she didn’t fucking want to. Because it might be more work for her and she is already dealing with, you know, having been raped, which, again, I don’t think Metzger has experienced.
But far from it for me, a woman who has been raped, to think I understand what other women are feeling after the fact. Thank goodness we have somebody like Metzger, who can not only give us logic, but a good healthy dose of objectification at the same time.
I’m not going to even touch the last part because it is the ramblings of a man who is so afraid he may be losing his place in his world he has to take the fear female comedians experience on a daily basis and turn it into hateful vomit to keep people from taking them seriously.
Metzger thinks women who are speaking out against rape are the system. We are not the system. We have been forced to work outside the system because the system has failed us. Metzger is part of an awful machine that makes women feel like shit for dealing with rape and sexual assault on their own terms, essentially punishing them for having experienced it in the first place.
Women in comedy deserve better than to be treated like our experiences are unreliable, that we are somehow inherently more likely to lie, that we would care enough about some pasty, powerless comedian to lie in order to get him banned from venues. The people speaking out are not part of a “lynch mob”. This is a community speaking out in support of its women. These are women fighting for their right to feel safe as performers.
So Kurt, please, for the love of your imaginary God, shut the fuck up.

Dj Jaz B Becomes First DJ From Stoke on Trent UK To Feature On Times Square Billboard
|
Dj Jaz B has landed on a Times Square billboard this week. He appeared in a digital billboard for His inspiration in music. Sending a message “KEEP CHASING YOUR DREAMS”
Dj Jaz B tweeted an image&video on New Year’s Day of the billboard and described it gleefully as a “dream come true”.
The driving force for me to keep going is the hunger I have for bigger dreams and aspirations immediately after I achieve something huge. I don’t get too happy with any accomplishment and I feel that’s a good way to keep the fire burning. I believe a lot in higher power and patience. Every time I ask myself the question ‘now what?’, the universe asks me to wait and be patient, it’s all going to happen,” the 31-year-old had said in an interview with us.
It’s a huge honour for an Stoke on Trent DJ to be on a Times Square billboard. I’ve always wanted to take Stoke on Trent to the world with my music and this is like a dream come true, especially for my two singles. This wouldn’t have been possible without my amazing team, family, and my fans and their endless love and support,” Dj Jaz B said, speaking about this achievement.

New York City is the center of capitalism and financial markets, however, hiding underneath the towering skyscrapers is an organization that defies the free market forces by siphoning off increasing amounts of city and state taxpayer dollars. This organization is the Metropolitan Transport Authority (MTA), which loses on average more than $6 billion per year dating back to 2009. If the MTA were a company in a functioning free market, it would have filed bankruptcy and restructured a decade ago. Instead, the city and state increase taxpayer subsidies and debt year after year, while acquiescing to union demands, resulting in one of the highest costing, least productive transit systems in the world.
The MTA’s cost of labor is greater than all its total revenue
The average salary of an MTA employee is nearly $90,000
Salaries, benefits, and retirement at the MTA are out of control. In 2015, the MTA spent $9.85b on employee salaries, retirement, and post-employment benefits. This is one billion dollars more than the $8.4b in total revenue the MTA collected. Before paying any other business expenses, the MTA is already losing money.
An analysis of MTA salary data on seethroughny.net, excluding salaries below the lowest contractual union wage, shows that out of 62,507 MTA employees, the average 2015 salary was $89,779. The vast majority of these employees are bus operators, train conductors, station agents, maintenance personnel, and cleaners. Analysis conducted on 2010 salaries of bus/rail operators and maintenance personnel shows that MTA salaries range from 18% to 60% higher than other US metro systems (i.e. Chicago, SF, LA, Miami) with very few exceptions.
The MTA spent over $876m on overtime in 2015
Because the MTA Bus Company did not provide its overtime accounting, total overtime in 2015 is actually greater than $876m. This number is even more egregious when you consider that only a subset of roles is responsible for the vast majority of overtime due to union constraints and inflexible work rules that will be detailed in a later section. Exhibit 1 below shows that in 2015, there were three hourly employees who worked so much overtime they grossed a higher salary than the MTA Chairman, Thomas Prendergast.
Exhibit 1: Top 4 Salaries at MTA in 2015
The $876m overtime bill in 2015 represented 15% of payroll, which is nearly double the 8% benchmark of average private nonfarm manufacturing overtime tracked by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. In 2010 when the MTA’s total overtime bill was $560m, or 13% of payroll, the MTA vowed to crack down, however the overtime issues have only been exasperated.
High absenteeism drives more overtime
Truancy resulting in last minute scheduling is a large driver of overtime at the MTA. Over a quarter of MTA employees use more than 15 sick days per year. This is in addition to the 20 annual vacation days employees receive after three years of service. Employees also receive their birthday as a holiday.
There’s a certain percentage of employees who take the mental health day. They wake up and say ‘I don’t feel like working today.’ Thomas Prendergast, Current MTA Chairman
Excessive usage and abuse of the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) is another driver of unplanned absences. Once an employee is approved under the act, he or she may take up to 60 unplanned/unpaid sick days per year. FMLA usage is not periodically reported by the MTA, however is 2010 it was revealed to be at 9% in the bus division and 20% in the Staten Island bus division.
MTA employees do not have a “Cadillac” health plan, it’s a Porsche
The MTA’s health and dental coverage is among the best of all comparable US transit systems and corporations. MTA employees pay 2% of their gross pay, excluding overtime, for health insurance. While the cost for an individual employee is in-line with the US average, the contribution for a family is significantly subsidized as seen in Exhibit 2 below. After paying the 2% salary contribution for insurance, MTA employees pay virtually nothing for any medical services for the entire family, with the exception of a $15 co-pay. Comparatively, the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) has a deducible and 10% co-insurance, and the Los Angeles MTA has a very small deductible, but 20% co-insurance.
Exhibit 2: Comparison US metro health coverage vs US national average
Not to be outdone by the MTA’s health insurance plan, the MTA’s dental plan is even better. Employees pay no premium and the plan covers 100% of all procedures including crowns, root canals, and surgery up to $1,800 per person per year, and full orthodontics for 24 months.
When adding in the cost of health and dental insurance premiums, the average salary of an MTA employee exceeds $100,000, without even considering pension costs.
Unfunded pension and post-employment benefit liabilities pose a substantial future risk
Exhibit 3: MTA 2015 operating revenue and expenses (in millions)
While employee salaries and wages are the highest operating expense, pension (retirement), and other post-employment benefits are increasing at an even faster pace. Since 2009, pension and other post-employment benefits have increased at an annual rate of 4.4% and 6.4% respectively.
In the current state, the MTA is able to cover these costs with subsidies from the state and city government. However, in the future, either subsidies will be drastically increased resulting in higher taxes, or fares will increase faster than inflation. As of November 2014, the MTA had a $17.8b unfunded liability for post-employment benefits, and then reallocated and suspended future contributions to the reserve in order to pay for the new union labor agreement. There are also several underfunded pensions, including the LIRR pension that had a funding level of 26.8 percent as of Jan. 1, 2012. An 80 percent level is considered optimal for funds to be able to pay future claims.
Inflexible and inefficient union work rules cost the MTA billions of dollars per year
The Transport Workers Union (TWU) has a rich history, starting with its founding during the Great Depression when the private transit companies were abusing the nations dire situation, which consisted of underpaying, overworking, and mistreating their employees. Today many of these issues have been rendered moot thanks to increased transparency in the work place, government protections combined with an accessible justice system, and a wide variety of available jobs. Over the years, the union has grown in power with its ability to shutdown the city of New York, resulting in capitulation by management and the city and a plethora of work rules that stifle productivity.
Cost of construction for the MTA is 2–7x more expensive than any comparable subway system in the world
The extension of the 7 line from Times Square to the Javits Center cost $1.6 billion per mile. It would be the most expensive in the world if not for the first phase of the Second Avenue subway, which is estimated to cost $2.7 billion per mile of new tunnel. Compare this to the cost of other new tunnels worldwide in London, Tokyo, Berlin, and Paris, which cost respectively $700m, $560m, $400m, and $368m per mile. What is this discrepancy attributed to? According to Michael Horodniceanu, president of the New York City Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s capital construction division: “work rules.” Citing the example of the city’s revered sandhogs, he said the MTA employs 25 people for tunnel-boring machine work that Spain does with nine.
Pay raises for union employees are stipulated by collective bargaining agreements, not performance, and union employees reach maximum pay after five years
By structuring pay raises based on tenure, capping after five years, union employees are not incentivized to work any harder than a level just above what would result in termination. The average tenure of an MTA employee is 13.8 years, far above the national median of 4.6, which demonstrates how “good” of a job this is. In the past, the MTA attempted to tie pay to performance, but the union rejected it. This generalization does not apply to all employees as some want to progress to higher roles.
The MTA cannot decrease the number of conductors per train
The concept of excessive conductors is a multi-faceted issue that has present and future implications. Currently, the LIRR has conductors that punch every riders ticket. This process became obsolete last century from the use of turnstiles or the honor system along with heavy fines for dodgers, as in Europe. Also, there are several train lines, such as the L, that have an advanced driving system requiring only one operator. In 2005, the MTA removed the second conductor from the L, but the union forced the MTA to bring the second conductor back. For 11 years, taxpayers have paid for someone who does absolutely nothing on the L train.
The future ramifications are more drastic. Around the world, over 15 subway systems have at least one fully automated line, including systems in Malaysia and the Philippines. The MTA currently has approximately 7,000 train conductors and operators being paid an average salary of $100,000 including benefits. If the MTA were to invest in driverless trains, they would save $700m annually, not including future pension and post-employment costs.
Union rules require overtime for work over eight hours per shift
Overtime for shifts over eight hours is a significant contributor to the nearly $1b overtime bill the MTA had last year. There are a significant number of professions that allow, if not require, work days over eight hours (e.g. medical professionals, truck drivers, construction workers, call service reps, EMTs, ect.) and do not pay overtime unless the employee exceeds 80 hours over two weeks. Due to the nature of transit and overnight maintenance, 12 hour shifts are required for many jobs at the MTA.

Video Marketing — Strategy and Challenges That Gets Results
|
Is video a component of your marketing plan? If it isn’t, it must be! Why? Consumers have grown accustomed to being advertised to through videos, and many increasingly demand it from brands they recognize and trust.
It took me a long time to get used to video, especially the ones that required me to be in front of the camera! However, there are many different ways to make videos, so if you’re afraid of being in front of the camera, don’t worry; you don’t have to be a video star to get started.
The truth is that having a well-written product description, a snappy sponsored ad, or a beautiful landing page is no longer enough to appeal to a large portion of your target audience. According to a Wyzowl survey, 8% of respondents claimed that watching a brand’s video influenced them to buy a product or service.
Perhaps you’re nodding your head in agreement that video marketing is a priority for you. That’s fantastic! But do you have a strategy in place based on your ideal consumer profile, or are you just slamming stuff out there in the hopes that something sticks?
Video Marketing Benefits
Here are a few video marketing benefits to persuade you that a well-thought-out strategy is worthwhile:
You can spread the word about your product or service.
- It’s a clever technique to engage/entertain your website/social media audience.
- It aids in the simple explanation of your goods or service to others.
- If you provide excellent recommendations and advice, you will increase customer retention.
- It’s time to take advantage of this crucial but frequently disregarded, marketing strategy.
Here are three stages to putting together a video marketing strategy that can boost engagement, leads, and sales.

The Best Social Media Platform To Make Money

The Best Social Media Platform To Make Money
Content creation should be recognized as a new profession, but conventional social media hasn’t done it yet. However, FriendsOnly is reshaping the sphere of social media. Know how to get profit by posting on that social media. FriendsOnly Follow Dec 17, 2021 · 3 min read
FriendsOnly is chanching conventional rules
The easiest way to make money on social media
It’s obvious that the best opportunity for content creators to make money is to get it directly from viewers. Perfect example of that strategy was brought by Netflix. The company makes movies and series, uploads them on the server, and proposes to everyone to pay for a subscription. You can get access to unique content and you can unsubscribe at any time. Content creator (Netflix) doesn’t care about advertisers who spend money on the site. And that system provides an excellent user experience, too. Watching isn’t interrupted with advertising, and viewers decide what they want to watch next.
You can’t make money on Netflix, but you can on FriendsOnly. The idea of a paid subscription is the bedrock of that social media. Every content creator could make money just by posting short videos, and that’s why FriendsOnly is the best social media platform for modern entrepreneurs. Of course, authors don’t think about how to engage sponsors and don’t care how many views their videos get during the last month. It’s all about creativity and attracting viewers. Some subscribers may view your channel once a week, and another fun would be binge-watching your post every day.
How does FriendsOnly work
You can post any videos on FriendsOnly
FriendsOnly isn’t the first content subscription service, but it’s the best one in one particular way. Unlike OnlyFans and other alternatives, FriendsOnly is a true social network. All Internet users can watch public videos for free. Authors can post as many free videos as they want to engage viewers. In fact, they can make all the content available for free. Viewers may watch free videos without limitations, then they start to visit authors’ pages out of curiosity. And finally, they pay for subscriptions, because the content is lit.
Perhaps, the main reason why FriendsOnly is the best social media platform to make money is low risks for content creators. When bloggers search for advertisers on such platforms as Instagram, they depend on the decisions of, say, a few dozen people. If they lose one advertiser, they could lose 10% — 30% of their earnings. Earning on FriendsOnly is generated by hundreds and thousands of subscribers. You don’t even notice when a few people unfollow you.
And the last reason why FriendsOnly is the best social media platform to make money is no-stress posting. Other social media, from YouTube all the way down to TikTok, are based on the principle of competition. Bloggers have to post content to beat other creators. The algorithm decides which post should be placed on top of the feed. And that’s kind of unfair. Bloggers post videos on FriendsOnly not for tricking with the algorithm but to entertain subscribers.
Additional benefits of making money with social media
Live the way you love with FriendsOnly
Making money on the FriendsOnly platform gives you maximum freedom to manage your account. You don’t have to learn boring audience engagement techniques. No costs for paid account promotion either. Enjoy life, use your free time to create videos, post videos anytime, and get paid from loyal followers.
Currently, FriendsOnly also awards content creators with prizes. The reason for giving a gift is the achievement of a certain number of subscribers. The minimum level is 7,000 followers.
In conclusion, we point out that FriendsOnly is the best social media platform to make money for the following reasons:
Content creators earn money paid by subscribers;
The lowest level of depending from cash flow;
Freedom from advertisers;
Videos created for subscribers, not for tricking with the algorithm;
No spending on paid promotion;
Prizers for successful bloggers.

The Basics of Video Marketing: 4 Easy Steps to Get You Started!
|
Photo by Shutterstock
I have a short attention span for anything that doesn’t immediately relate to my interest at the moment. As a content marketing provider, I’ve had to build systems to stay focused on tasks that were boring or labor-intensive, or both. I’m constantly on the lookout for shortcuts and templates that can make my tasks easier and more productive.
Video sales letters are perfect for content marketers because they are usually compact and follow a framework, formula, or template. Sure, I’ve written 14-page sales letters. But in an age when almost everyone has a smart phone, you have to be truly committed to reading a 14 page sales letter to buy a product.
Small business owners don’t have the luxury of being able to do this. A good copywriter will charge you the cost of an airline ticket (round trip with hotel accommodations) to Brazil, for something like that. However, with a little training and a few tools, a local business can benefit from a five-minute sales video. The best part is, they can create that video themselves!
You can get your message across most effectively with video marketing. According to Cisco (the tech company) by end of 2022, online videos will make up over 82% of all consumer internet traffic. It’s easy to consume, and most people prefer to watch videos instead of reading text. What is the best way for small business owners to use it?
Creating high-quality videos can be challenging, so follow these tips to help you succeed.
1. Scripting your video and researching your market. Who is the video for? Why should someone care about what you have to say? What differentiates you from your competition?
2. Storytelling: Start with a solid introduction that keeps the viewer interested in your idea. Tell the story that will relate to your viewer while connecting your business or brand to the story.
3. Use images and videos in your production. Words aren’t even necessary. Visually show what you want them to know with captivating images. Make sure it is high quality if you are recording it on video!
4. Distribute and promote your video to sources that can benefit from it. Create ads or blog content to drive traffic to your video.
In the age of short attention spans and smart phones, short sales videos rule! So how do you start the process? Let’s dive a little deeper into each idea.
Sales Video Scripts Formula
· Attract and Engage
· Connect with the Viewer
· Prove a Point
· Convert to Action
An effective video must get the viewer’s attention in the first few seconds. In order to do that, the video must be geared to a specific type of person (You can always make other videos to reach other demographics.) And grab them by their interests, mood, or perspective.
There are a lot of ways to do this, and this article is too short to cover them. Just be aware that it’s important to do some research before you lay out your script. Know who you’re trying to reach and which hot buttons you’ll need to press to get their attention.
Once you’ve got their attention, you’ll need to hold on to it for the length of the video in order to get to the punchline or call to action. Many superb VSLs start with an intriguing back story or an outrageous promise.
Scripting your video and researching your market are really the heart of the process. Even if your video is going to be shot on your cell phone while walking to your car, it’s important to develop your complete presentation ahead of time.
The Importance of Visual Storytelling
Reality television has been a staple of pop culture since the 1990s. Although it’s considered unscripted television, it’s highly formulaic. It has to be in order to deliver the goods that the audience expects. Your video needs structure in order to keep it on point and effective, even if it seems spontaneous.
If you don’t know how to tell your story, it’s time to head over to YouTube. To relate to viewers, you should be conversational and natural, so they can trust what they hear. You can get inspiration from watching YouTube videos of musicians, comedians, actors, or other celebrities.
Choosing The Right Kind of Video Content and Style
There are different video content styles from which to choose. This is another reason you’ll want to be sure to create a video script before shooting. You’ll need to choose the type of video style format that fits your needs and your market.
Here are a few of the most popular formats.
· The animated explainer.
· The behind-the-scenes video.
· The company culture promotional video.
· The employee portrait video.
· The enthusiastic customer testimonial video.
· The informational web series.
· The product demonstration video.
· The video spot.
Visual content is an excellent way to show your audience what you want them to know. Some of the most popular types of visual content are pictures, infographics, slideshows, background videos, motion graphics, animated GIFs, and memes.
Video is a powerful tool for reaching your audience because video content is more engaging than static images or text. When the viewer sees a video, they are drawn into it and are more likely to stay engaged in the content longer.
Distribute and Promote Your Videos
Now that your video is done, you’ll need to take action with your video marketing strategy. Your research should have given you an idea of where your video is most likely to be viewed. However, you’ll need to promote each video in order to maximize viewership.
You’re going to need to drive traffic to your videos in order to get the most views. There are different ways to achieve this. You can advertise your video, use social media promotion and even email marketing.
Your video message may be powerful on its own, but people still need to get to it first. Good promotion is critical for getting more people to watch your video content, but remember not to ignore the fundamentals. You must first create effective content that is optimized for a particular demographic.
You can use these tips to your advantage. When you follow these steps for effective production and distribution, producing videos that drive sales can be fairly simple. Finally, I’d like to give you one more tip… If you haven’t used video script templates for content marketing, I highly recommend trying them out. Using them makes creating informative scripts for videos much easier.
So, get to it — you going to be glad you did! You only succeed by doing, not thinking about it. For more tips on effective content marketing strategies, follow me on medium.com or go to https://contentmarketingmagic.co/blog

54% of consumers want to see more video content from a brand or business they support.
A HubSpot marketing survey that included about 3,000 respondents showed that 54% of the consumers
consistently preferred video marketing from the brands they support.
Video ContentMarketers have been debating whether video marketing is a passing fleet or is here to stay.
The study, however, revealed that many of the respondents would pay more attention to videos than they would to text or audio content.
Video content is a preference, especially for millennials,
and marketers whose audience consists of people in this age gap should leverage the opportunity.
If your target audience comprises of baby boomers and older consumers, you are better off using email marketing for your business.
My final judgement on video marketing statistics
Using visuals in marketing could never go wrong.
But, now it seems like video marketing is quickly becoming the way to go.
A short video will capture the consumer’s attention and provide all the details they need within a short time.
Therefore, you should consider using video marketing as a crucial element of your marketing strategy.
Video marketing comes with some hefty bills attached.
But, as you can see from the numbers, you are going to love the returns.
So, why don’t you implement it for your business?
I don’t want to leave you without reflecting on the fact that to build a platform that
generates leads with a high conversion rate is hard, it’s hard, very hard,
and it can be harder for some people.
But in my quest to help as many people as possible, I have discovered a means that has helped many Youtubers and video marketers to not only ease
the hardship involved in building a channel with a substantial level of engagement, but to also shorten the time it takes to; Tube Buddy!
Tube Buddy is a Youtube certified company that works directly with Youtube’s API. According to Andrew Kan, Tube Buddy’s videographer,
Youtube recommend’s Tube Buddy’s services. So if you are looking for a tool that will help you in your dream to have a successful Youtube channel, then it

10 Ways To Create The Perfect Online Video
|
Focus on Planning Productions
The first technique to creating “homemade” videos that looks like professional videos for the online consumers involve planning the production into detail. In many cases, quality and engaging videos never happen by accident. They are always created as a result of pre-production planning. Regardless of the event being recorded, the most important thing is to have a plan. It involves writing down or making a mental list of shots/scenes that should be included in the video. As an example, a person planning to create a video of a birthday party may include the following shots; decoration of the birthday cake, arrival of guests at the party, welcoming of the guests at the party. Introduction and exchange of pleasantries among guests, presentation of the birthday cake, blowing of the candles, cutting of the cake, opening of presents, entertainment and dancing, as well as the departure of the guests.
If the video is about an event as highlighted above, the agenda for the event can be used to prepare the list of shots. In simpler terms, it is important to know what is going to happen at the event so that it is easier to shoot the video. Without a proper planning of the event, shooting the video may be difficult and one may miss out on the most important scenes that viewers would expect of any event. If the video does not cover an event, it is still important to plan appropriate to take the right shots and arrange them in a chronological order that captivates the viewers’ attention. Besides the planning of the shots at the event, planning goes beyond to include how the shots would be taken, software for editing the video, music, graphics, and exportation among other things. In general, the planning process it an important tip which involves the first step of creating the video until the last step of releasing it to the public through different online platforms. In general, the pre-production planning for a quality and engaging video involves creating the shot list, story board, prop list per scene, as well as the B-roll. The Broll is the additional footage that makes the story come into life when being edited.
Use new Kinds of Motion
The era of shooting videos from a stationary tripod or a couple of tripods is long gone.
Today, the most interesting and appealing videos are shot/created using new kinds of motion: aerial footages, Steadicams, timelapse and hyperlapse, and/or sliders. First, videographers must not be in planes or helicopters to create good aerial footages. The development of remotecontrolled drones provides video makers with inexpensive ways of getting their GoPros or DSLRs airborne to shoot videos. The results from such technologies are as good as those obtained from helicopters or planes flying through buildings and other places.
Second, the Steadicam helps in eliminating shaking and rolling when a person walks or runs when shooting the video. Even though they were introduced in 1976, Steadicams remain one of the most important tools in creating top videos. When the shaking of the body (when in motion) is eliminated, one can create clear videos in which all details are captured without any jarring effects. The video maker can shoot alongside the subject as they run or walk so as to give them the sense that they are in action. As such, the subject will act in the right way while the video maker will eliminate any undesired effects related to motion.
Third, the techniques of hyper-lapse and time-lapse help bring great effects to videos being created. In time-lapse, the action scene is speeded-up but the camera remains static or moves very short distances. The movement of the camera is often under the control of motorized rigs which are only capable of subtle movements. On the other hand, hyper-lapse enables the camera to move considerable distance to provide perfect videos regardless of the motion paths or angle changes of the camera. In simpler terms, both time-lapse and hyper-lapse are the same except that the latter gas no limitations on motion. In general, the changes brought about by time-lapse or hyper-lapse are subtle, but the outcomes are remarkably interesting and appealing to audiences.
Lastly, the sliders are mounted on tripods to allow the camera to be moved smoothly through scenes. The sliders are mounted on the tripods to emulate the technique used by big film crew professionals to achieve greater results for their videos.

10 Awesome YouTube Intros That Engage & Delight Viewers
|
This post was originally published on the Typito blog here.
Top YouTube channels and YouTubers have a signature intro sequence to warm up their audience to the upcoming video (does the beautiful animation from Crash Course come into mind?). It is the best time to reinforce your unique brand and mission while you wow your viewer.
Get inspired by some of the most engaging and delightful YouTube intro sequences:
1. Crash Course Physics
The 10 second animation sequence encapsulates how our understanding of physics has evolved over time. It starts from a falling apple :) (ref. Newton’s Law of Gravity)
2. Yuya
Mexican-born Mariand Castrejon, better known as her YouTube persona Yuya, is a Spanish language Beauty vlogger. She is one of the highest subscribed beauty bloggers in the world. Her intro sequence sums up her charming personality while showcasing her expertise.
3. TVF
The Viral Fever is a hugely popular online digital entertainment channel based out of India. Their intro showcases their vision of disrupting the Indian TV entertainment industry which was once dominated by dumb, melodramatic TV soaps.
4. TED Ideas Worth Spreading
I loved how the latest set of TED Talk videos open. Inspired by Big bang and the theory of expanding universe, TED’s vision of sharing ‘Ideas Worth Spreading’ is beautifully captured in a 7 second sequence
5. Kurzgesagt — In a Nutshell
Munich based Kurzgesagt — In a Nutshell has garnered over 2 million subscribers with its vision of making science beautiful. Their intro clip sums up their passion and ability to educate you about complex topics (Like evolution, time, space, global energy or our existence in this universe.) in a delightful and crisp manner.
6. Draw with Jazza
When introducing his YouTube channel, Josiah Brooks aka Jazza mentions his passion to “teach people how to draw, animate and paint”. I couldn’t find a better sequential and beautifully literal presentation of a mission yet.
7. Good Mythical Morning
Rhett & Link feature funny music videos, sketches and lot more weird fun in their daily talk show. No more uneventful mornings if you watch Good Mythical Morning. The rooster agrees.
8. SciShow
Well, SciShow may not have the most unique of animated intros but surely a good way to introduce different branches of science in 10 seconds!
9. Healthcare Triage
Healthcare and policy is supposed to be boring. Dr Aaron Caroll disagrees while he explains the interplay of policy and medical research. Animation perfectly suited for the fun and engaging nature of the content.
10. VSauce
Michael Stevens — the man behind the VSauce channel introduces himself to the viewer in every video in a uniquely hilarious way. Here are some of his best :)
You don’t necessarily need expensive/flashy animation to showcase your brand, do you. Utilise the 5–10 seconds to tell your story in your own unique way. And did I tell you this works on short form content as well? A great intro can keep your audience engaged on Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and Instagram.
The best way to get started is to announce your video with a cool title that sets some context for the audience . Typito lets you add Adobe After Effects style titles on the video in a few clicks. You can check it out here.

Why It Is Vital To Plan Your Videos

Why It Is Vital To Plan Your Videos
It’s vital to plan your videos if you want to create high quality, engaging content that gets you results. Here’s why. Izak Jackson Nov 24, 2021·4 min read
If you want to create high quality, engaging video content that gets you results while saving you time and money in the long run, you must plan your videos. Here’s why.
Helps You Identify Key Messages
Every video you create should have a purpose or goal, whether to educate your customers, drive traffic to your website, raise your brand awareness etc.
Planning your video will help you identify what that purpose is and what your key message will be within your video.
It’s tempting to touch upon multiple topics within one video, but if you do, you risk rambling on about everything instead of focusing on one crucial key message.
Think carefully about what that key message will be and build your script and content ideas around that. Doing this will ensure your video gets you results.
Ensures You Stay on Topic
Talking of scripts, one of the most significant advantages of planning your videos before shooting is ensuring you stay on topic.
The best way to do this is by writing a script.
When I say a script, I don’t necessarily mean writing out what you plan on saying, word for word, but you do need to outline key points.
A little tip, don’t be affraid to keep these notes to hand when filming.
Helps You Identify the What, Where and When
Many people think creating videos is easy. You grab your phone, hit record and job done!
If you’re looking to create engaging videos with that professional edge, it’s not that simple.
With most videos, you’ll want to include a variety of shots that help to tell your story better, overlaying these shots onto your ‘talking head’.
This type of footage is known as B-Roll.
Before you start filming, you need to plan what shots need to be captured, where your shoot locations will be and figure out a timeline or shooting schedule to know exactly what to do.
Saves You Time and Money
Shooting a video can take longer than you realise. Don’t be fooled into thinking it will take 30-seconds to shoot a 30-second video. This is never the case, especially if you don’t have a plan in place.
A lot of time is wasted, usually due to having to reshoot footage because of things like fumbling the words or the location not being right.
Time wasted is also money wasted.
Every minute you spend reshooting and editing your video is time you’re not spending on other areas of your business, like delivering your products or services to your clients.
Planning every detail of your video will help you streamline the filming and editing process, saving you a lot of time and money in the long run.
If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.
Enables You to Successfully Market Your Video
A common mistake people make is creating video content first and then thinking about how they will market it once it’s edited. It should be the other way round.
Planning how you will market your video before you start shooting will help you better understand the type of video you should be creating, the length of the video, whether you shoot your video portrait or landscape, etc.
Every social media platform has its own specifications for video. If you know what they are before you start filming, your video is more likely to suit that specific platform, helping to increase watch time and engagement.

5 Digital Marketing Trends You Can’t Ignore
|
We at Brisk Web Services are well aware that digital marketing is a dynamic field.
Keeping up with all of the algorithms and regular revisions can feel like a full-time job at times!
(Come on, Mark Zuckerberg!
Please, give us a break!)
I’m joking…
In all seriousness, being current with the top digital marketing trends is the best thing you can do for your business, whether you do it yourself or employ an outsourced agency like us to save you time and money.
Don’t worry, we’ll assist you!
Here are the top five digital marketing trends that you should be aware of right now!
1. Video Content
video production services
If you haven’t been living under a rock, you’re probably aware that video is the most popular form of social media right now.
The numbers speak for themselves.
Did you know that TikTok had 3 BILLION downloads in June 2021?
According to App Annie, in the five years that the video-sharing app has been around, it has risen to become the 7th most downloaded app of the decade.
Instagram has also joined the video bandwagon.
Instagram’s CEO, Adam Mosseri, stated in a video in June 2021 that the service is no longer a photo-sharing platform.
Instead, Instagram will focus on video content, capitalising on the high levels of success that competitors such as TikTok and YouTube have achieved.
So, if you haven’t already, get your company ready to produce some fantastic video content — Instagram reels, TikToks, explainer videos, testimonials, culture videos, the list goes on.
2. Content with a Purpose
Despite the fact that our digital marketing agency lives by the slogan “content is king,” we’d like to make a significant change to Neil Patel’s term.
“Quality content is the king.”
Consider this: Every person, at any given time, has a vast amount of stuff to choose from.
It’s almost too much to bear.
Consider the following:
Why should someone visit your site instead of your competitor’s?
What do you have to give them that your competition doesn’t?
Sure, you’re giving away eBooks, but is the information unique?
Is it a general term?
Offering valuable material is your best bet for winning clients’ trust.
This means no hastily written articles with mistakes just to get something out there.
You should aim for high-quality, long-form material.
It’s also crucial to do it in a way that doesn’t come across as overly salesy.
We realize it’s a fine line to walk…
Consider this as an example of high-quality content.
You’re in the mall when you come across an electric wine bottle opener.
(Oooh!)
What would make you more likely to buy the wine opener in question?
A drab instruction booklet explaining what the product is and how it works, or a well-designed pamphlet demonstrating how the wine opener will save you time and frustration for years to come?
We believe you already know the answer.
Synthetic corks are no longer a problem!
But, in any case, long-form, value-driven content is critical in any digital marketing plan.
3. Content that is hyper-personalized
It has occurred to each and every one of us.
You’re on a website looking at a product; it could be shoes, furniture, or food.
You then navigate away from the page without completing a purchase.
You get an item with the subject line “Get it before it sells out!” a few hours later.
or “You left something behind…”
You open the email and…
It’s the same item you were looking at just a few hours ago.
Isn’t it strange?
Well, not in the world of digital marketing, at least.
You’ve arrived to hyper-personalized content!
The third digital marketing trend to watch is hyper-personalized content.
Adding simple first-name impersonation to your email marketing isn’t a novel feat, and as you can see, we’re not talking about that.
(That was remarkable five years ago, but times have changed.)
Businesses that want to enhance traffic and conversion rates need to get down to the nitty-gritty about who their target audience is and, more crucially, what they’re searching for and where they’re looking.
You can collect information about individuals who interact with your business and follow their behaviour using artificial intelligence (AI) to better target them.
Many third-party software businesses can assist you in obtaining data in order to generate hyper-personalized content.
Here are a few of our favourites:
Create content that is optimized for voice searches.
“Hey Siri, do a Google search for ‘content marketing!’”
Every day, millions of people use AI-powered voice assistants to search for products online without ever touching or being near their phone or computer.
Today, user experience and web accessibility are critical.
With the rise of voice search, such as Siri, Google, Alexa, and Cortana, it’s more crucial than ever to make sure your content is voice search optimized.
4. Easy to contact
We now live in a world where delayed gratification isn’t a good thing.
Not when we have a query about a product, service, or company, at least!
Whether you’re contacting your favourite apparel brand, salon, or restaurant, you probably want a rapid answer on a user-friendly platform.
It’s the same with your prospects.
If you aren’t available around the clock, leveraging AI to ensure that your prospects receive timely responses is a no-brainer!
5. Hiring an Outsourced Digital Marketing Agency
We understand that there are a lot of points to cover.
Focus on what’s popular right now and modify your content marketing strategy accordingly.
Recognize current trends and employ them in your digital marketing campaigns.

Are Client Testimonial Videos Really That Powerful?
|
Client testimonial videos are regarded as some of the most effective marketing and PR tools that a business could use. They are powerful, persuasive, and personal.
But how relevant are they? Better yet, are they actually that powerful?
To start with, the numbers speak for themselves. A considerable number of online users base their shopping decisions on the word of fellow consumers. Video is currently at the top of the type of content being consumed on the web.
Social media dominates as the premier platform for getting news and product or service information.
Taking all of these together, you can start getting a picture of just what client testimonial videos can do for your business.
Straight From The Mouth
Client testimonial videos are considered powerful marketing tools because they actually give customers a reason to try your product or services. When you are new or are trying to court new customers, one of your biggest challenges is your lack of brand recognition.
If people don’t know you, they won’t trust you.
Reaching out to them as the owner or tasking employees to do so via videos is a good stop. However, if customers hear how great your offers are from people just like them, the message is easier to accept.
This is just how human psychology works.
Of course, there are exceptions, such as those coming from authority figures. But even this isn’t nearly as effective as recommendations coming from fellow consumers.
Using celebrities might work to grab attention for the short term. Unfortunately, this tactic no longer has the same level of payoff as it did in the days of television.
Compelling and Enthralling
Much like any kind of video content, client testimonial videos can also be made as immersive and persuasive as possible. You’ll want to do this to maximize the impact of the video, especially if you only have a limited shot at reaching your target demographic.
Remember that if you’re not careful, your videos can be boring. Boring is dangerous for your business because it doesn’t engage, at all. It would have been better to make a controversial video since that would have some kind of effect.
Client testimonial videos that are well-made can grab the attention of viewers and keep it. That’s the whole point.
By enthralling viewers so that they watch until the end, it becomes easier to convince them that your business is worth a shot. More to the point, it gives existing customers to keep trusting you with their money.
Freedom to Create
Another great thing about client testimonial videos, which also makes them potent marketing tools, is how they allow you to be as creative as you want. You will have to adhere to certain standards such as not censoring the folks in the video. After all, you are going for authenticity here, but more on that later.
For now, just remember that aside from what your clients actually say, everything else is fair game.
You can create or have professionals create graphics that are colourful, inventive, and whacky as you want. It would, of course, need to keep with the theme of the video.
There’s no sense adding comedic elements when your clients are talking about sombre topics. It just wouldn’t fit.
However, as long as your creatives don’t clash with the message, you’re free to go nuts. It’s your client testimonial video.
Authenticity Given Form
A huge reason for the popularity of client testimonial videos, even during the era of televised marketing, is how authentic they come across. Everyday folks with everyday problems telling other regular Joes and Janes about how wonderful your offers are can have a profound impact.
It’s like when a neighbour, a friend, a family member, or even a colleague tells you about something new and wonderful that you simply have to try. It can be a new food place, a new shopping mall, or it could be your products and services.
The power of authenticity simply cannot be discounted, especially in this era when people no longer know which is real or fake. Client testimonial videos are about as real as things can get on the web. That’s a point that you can capitalise on so that your business can thrive.

Vertical vs Horizontal Video
|
In years gone by, recording and uploading video with the camera held vertically was looked upon with ridicule, producing big black bars either side of the picture and a narrow viewing angle, guaranteed to turn viewers off.
But times are changing.
People naturally hold their phones vertically
Obvious, but important.
If we strip smartphones back to their most basic function — giving users the ability to make and receive phone calls — the design of modern smarphones simply follows the tradition of “dumb” phones from decades past; that the device should be held vertically so that the user can speak and listen with minimal fuss. TV and cinema, meanwhile — the dominant visual media for so long — have demanded that the picture is viewed horizontally for the best experience. And so, despite all the things smartphones can now do, we’re historically conditioned to hold phones vertically and view video horizontally.
We’ve been stuck between two competing worlds, but times are changing.
For some hard facts, look to the MOVR Mobile Overview Report from December 2014, which found, unsurprisingly, that smartphone users hold their phones vertically about 94% of the time.
A 2016 study by KPCB Research showed that people in the US are now spending 29% of time using vertically-held devices, up from just 5% in 2010. And since people are holding these devices vertically for most tasks, it makes sense that they’ll play video that way, too.
People access social media on mobile the most
Not only are the vast majority of mobile apps designed with the assumption that users will be interacting while holding their smartphone vertically, but its increasingly where people are spending their time on social media.
80% of social media use now occurs on mobile devices — 61% on smartphones alone.
By 2018 in the US, the gap between desktop and mobile Internet use is predicted to grow to people spending 3 hours and 20 minutes using the Internet on their phone, compared to just 40 minutes on the computer.
As a business, your content needs to be built in a way that caters best to how it is being consumed.
Vertical video-friendly Social Media
If we look at how vertical video renders on social apps, we see something interesting.
As of February 2017:
Facebook — Vertical videos publish with no black borders
Instagram — Vertical videos publish with no black borders
Snapchat — Vertical videos publish with no black borders
Twitter — Vertical videos publish with no black borders
YouTube — The Android version of the app hides black borders when device is held vertically and video is viewed in full screen
Rather than looking upon vertical video as a negative, social networks — even YouTube — are embracing the format. There’s no way they’re going to be able force people to film in landscape mode without really annoying them(as YouTube used to do), so why not make the viewing experience (inferior to landscape mode as it may be) as optimum as it can be?
And there are other benefits. When it comes to watching live video, viewers holding their phones vertically can engage with reactions and comments in a way that’s natural to them.
Rolling out the 2:3 ratio of vertical video on Facebook in August 2016 (rather than cropping vertical videos into squares), a Facebook representative told Marketing Land at the time that:
“We know that people enjoy more immersive experiences on Facebook, so we’re starting to display a larger portion of each vertical video in News Feed on mobile.”
Facebook wants people to stay on its platform, so it will do whatever it can to suit their needs.
Instagram’s roll-out of vertical video last year shared a similar sentiment.
In a blog post to announce its Stories feature (boasting over 150 million users as of January 2017), Instagram said:
“Square format has been and always will be part of who we are. That said, the visual story you’re trying to tell should always come first, and we want to make it simple and fun for you to share moments the way you want to.”
Vertical video ads convert better
“From a storytelling perspective, this is obviously more exciting. If we can take up more of the screen that means you’re less distracted. We can capture more of the viewer’s attention.”
-Dan Grossman, VP of platform partnerships at VaynerMedia.
In another recent development — the launch of vertical video ads for Instagram Stories in January 2017 — Instagram seemed open to their success:
“Since the beginning, we’ve been thoughtful about rolling out ads on Instagram to give businesses and consumers the best experience possible. And ad formats are no exception. Portrait has long been available on the platform for posts, and is a common format for consuming mobile content”.
For more evidence, look to Snapchat, who you might say spearheaded the vertical video revolution in social media.
In a pitch to publishers in 2015, Snapchat reported that full screen vertical video ad completion rates were 9x higher than those of horizontal video ads.
The company’s internal research also shows that vertical video ads draw up to 2x higher visual attention vs. comparable platforms.
“Communicate your brand message in a way that fits your phone, the way Snapchatters actually use it.”
In addition, Jason Stein, CEO of Laundry Service, reported success with LG vertical video ads soon after their launch last year. He told Adweek that his had had been receiving CPM rates that were 3x more efficient than standard square videos on Facebook.
People are lazy
Think of it like this: when users are zipping through mobile sites and social media feeds, they expect the experience to be seamless.
If your video plays in landscape and can be viewed okay, not many people are going to make the effort to turn their phone 90 degrees and tap to expand to full screen. It’s lazy, but it’s the truth.
As a marketer, that means you’re missing out on filling a users’ screen with your ad and keeping their full attention as effectively as possible.
Perhaps this point is best summed up by Zena Barakat, a former New York Times video producer who spent a year researching vertical video. She discovered that many people didn’t reorient their phones to watch horizontal videos in full-screen mode.
“As a person who makes videos, I was like, ‘You’re not seeing it the way we intended it! And they were like, ‘We don’t care!’ They found it so uncomfortable to hold the phone the other way, and they didn’t want to keep switching their phones back and forth.”
In Conclusion
We all need to embrace vertical video and the entire vertical experience revolution.

Well I’ve got a super easy solution for you, what you need is a video at your trade show booth explaining who you are and what you do.
An explainer video is powerful BEFORE, DURING and AFTER your trade show event.

This makes it super easy for your sales staff to answer any questions they have when they arrive at your booth and to explain a little bit further.
After your event, share your video across multiple social media platforms like LinkedIn or YouTube. Put it on your company homepage, so it’s the very first thing anyone will see when they visit your website. Present your video during sales meetings, add it to your email signature and send it out to everyone that has visited your trade show booth…it’s a friendly, gentle reminder of who you are and how you can help them.

7 benefits of incorporating video marketing as a part of your brand’s strategy Letsbuildbrands Dec 22, 2021·4 min read
Videos and motion graphics catch the attention of viewers like no other creatives. Moving content in the form of videos grabs onlookers’ attention and provides an opportunity for brands to communicate better with their audience in an enriching and engaging manner. This is due to the engaging nature of a video as it engages not just the visual senses but also the auditory senses. Furthermore, since the visuals keep changing, it keeps the viewer alert and engaged.
The importance of video marketing cannot be ignored as it is now a critical part of a brand’s digital marketing strategy. In fact, according to HubSpot, 90% of users state that watching a video about a product is helpful in the decision-making process. (purchase decisions). As per research, brands that engage more senses of its customers or users, are the most remembered or recalled ones. (vision and auditory senses are engaged). Hence, brands prefer to use video communication than static creatives.
What is video marketing?
Video marketing refers to videos by a brand to promote a specific product/service. A video that resonates with a brand’s target audience helps familiarize the audience with it, educate the audience, and increase the brand’s level of engagement across social media channels.
Benefits of creating a video marketing strategy
With a high volume of textual content being pushed out on social media platforms, videos provide a break to individuals who need an escape from the monotony of solely textual content. According to research by Microsoft, humans lose concentration after 8 seconds, mostly due to the impact of media. Hence, videos are the perfect tool for engaging them quickly.
Here, we’ll discuss the 7 benefits of creating a video marketing strategy for your brand.
Help brands stay competitive
Many businesses sell similar or identical products/services in today’s era. Gone are the days when a high-quality product or service alone would help a business gain revenue. A proper marketing strategy is required to help brands promote their product/service and increase visibility.
Video marketing helps brands stay competitive by explaining their offerings more engagingly than brands that rely on text alone. Videos increase brand recall, and statistics show that videos generate the second-highest number of leads. (after research reports)
Build Curiosity
Videos help build curiosity. For example, a video could tell a story and make him/her want to know more about how the story will proceed. Viewers may also be curious about the product/service a company advertises in a promotional video.
Help engage viewers
Videos can help engage the target audience by using the right hook and main message of the video. In addition, the combination of motion graphics and audio helps viewers connect better with the product since multiple senses (sight and auditory) are engaged. Hence, it intrigues viewers and quickly grabs their attention.
Build Trust
While using videos as a part of the brand’s digital marketing strategy, videos of multiple types can be leveraged, like testimonials and videos explaining the benefits of a product/service. The videos can build trustworthiness as multiple people in the brand’s audience may be visiting the brand’s website for the first time.
Helps with Search Engine Optimisation
Using video on your website encourages viewers to stay on the brand’s website for a long duration, reducing the bounce rate (the percentage of single-engagement visits to the website/ the number of visitors who visit a website without visiting any other page on the website). In fact, according to statistics by Forrester Research, video is 50 times more likely to get organic page ranks in Google than plain search results.
Help Explain Complex Information
By using videos, brands can simplify explaining complex information. This will help the target audience obtain more clarity about a product/service by a brand and its benefits. One example is a brand explainer video by a brand providing GST management solutions. The video may discuss GST return filing for people who do not have adequate experience in the field.
Encourage users to share content
A user is more likely to view a video than read a piece of text, hence encouraging shareability. In addition, the right message and hook can make the video “fun to watch” for the brand’s audience.
Conclusion
We hope you have a better understanding of the importance of video marketing and hence would adopt this in your forthcoming marketing campaigns. Lets Build Brands offers multiple services to brands wishing to grow their presence in the digital space. Click here to know more about our services

The Beginners Guide to Small Business Video Marketing — 10 Steps to Get Started
|
10 Steps to Getting Started with Video Marketing for Your Small Business
Fifteen years ago, making even a simple marketing video was a somewhat complicated project.
To make a video, you needed a video camera that could shoot high-quality footage and had to use expensive, complex video editing software. Sharing the video with others was also difficult, usually requiring you to burn the file to a DVD (if you’re under 30, you have no idea what I’m even talking about 😂).
Then, two amazing things happened that changed everything.
First, YouTube was started. Suddenly, a platform existed that made it very easy to share videos with the world. And instead of relying on DVDs or hard drives, you could easily upload a video to YouTube and just share the link with the world.
The next amazing thing, the smartphone, was invented. Within the span of just a few short years, almost everyone was carrying around a somewhat high-quality camera in their pocket.
Now, anyone can easily create and share a video in minutes. And now more than ever, people are consuming huge amounts of video every day.
Consider these staggering statistics:
● People today watch more than 500 million hours of video on YouTube every single day.
● YouTube has more than one billion users.
● 45% of people consume more than one hour of video per day on Facebook and YouTube.
● 85% of internet users in the United States watch videos online.
● One-third of the total online activity is watching videos.
Are you starting to get the picture? Video is everywhere. Everyone is watching it.
This explosion of video content represents an amazing for business owners. Consider these stats:
● Over 50% of marketers say that video is the type of content with the highest ROI.
● Businesses using video increase their revenue 49% faster than those that don’t.
● 64% of consumers will buy something after watching branded social videos.
● Video results in 12+ times more shares than text and images combined.
● Videos posted directly to Facebook have ten times greater organic reach than just posting YouTube links.
● Blog posts that include a video get 3x more inbound links than those that don’t.
● People will retain 95% of a message when they consume it by video as opposed to just 10% when they read the message in text form.
Simply put, the businesses that use video marketing will achieve greater results than those that don’t. If you want to connect with more of your customers, grow your brand, and ultimately generate even more revenue, you need to be using video marketing.
But for many of us, the thought of video marketing is intimidating. You have no idea where to start or what the best practices are. You’re worried or uncomfortable about getting in front of the camera. And so, you never even get started with video marketing.
You don’t take advantage of the enormous opportunity that video presents you.
That’s where I come in.
After years of coaching clients with their video marketing, I decided I would FINALLY get serious about making videos for my business. I fought it for a long time. And now, hundreds of videos later, over 100k views, 1700+ YouTube subscribers, and countless opportunities later I’m telling you NOW is the time.
You just have to make that first (awkward) step. 😳
And if I can do it, you can do it too.
In this article, you’ll discover the simple, easy-to-follow video marketing steps to get started. The goal is to make video marketing easy for you.
Video marketing no longer needs to be complicated. You do not need a big budget, tons of expensive equipment, or a fancy filming studio. You can literally just use your phone. Really all you need to be successful with video marketing is a little creativity and some determination.
So, are you ready to get started?
Let’s dive into the beginner’s guide to video marketing!
Step #1: Pick Your Primary Platform
First, figure out where do you want to share most of your videos? YouTube? Instagram?LinkedIn? Facebook?
Start with one to get started.
It’s fine to share your videos on multiple platforms. In fact, you probably should for the best exposure. But video marketing is actually more than just publishing new videos. And if you really want to succeed, it’s important to also engage with fans who watch your videos.
When you create a compelling video, people will comment on it. In turn, you will need to respond to the comments and create conversations between you and your viewers.
The more comments and views the video gets, the more organic exposure it will get because the social media platforms give preference to content that gets a lot of engagement.
If you post everywhere and spread yourself too thin over multiple platforms, it may be difficult for you to engage with everyone. Your video will end up with far less exposure than it would if you had dedicated yourself to one or two platforms.
So, how do you pick the best platform?
It’s really about learning where your audience spends most of their time. In other words, what platform does your audience use the most?
If you’re in the B2B market and looking to connect with other business professionals, you may want to focus more on LinkedIn.
If you’re selling mostly to Millennials, Instagram and YouTube are probably your best options.
If your audience is over 40, Facebook is probably your best bet.
If you’re not sure which platform your audience prefers, it’s best to just go with Facebook. It’s the largest social platform in the world, and you can be sure that your customers are there.
Tip #2: Start Simple
One of the most common reasons people fail to get started with video marketing is that they make it overly complicated. They think they need a fancy script, expensive, professional lighting, and an ultra-high-quality camera. But nothing could be further from the truth.
Some of the most popular YouTube channels showcase a person in their bedroom just talking into their phone or computer. They don’t use any special effects or fancy editing techniques. The lighting isn’t even particularly good. And yet, these videos still get millions of views and thousands of comments.
The reality is that these days, people don’t expect every video to be very polished or even professionally produced.
To get started in video marketing, you need to start simple. Just use your smartphone or computer. At best, try to make sure you have good light, but don’t stress about it.
The key is to start making and sharing videos. Avoid trying to be perfect.
If it helps, think of your video marketing more like having a conversation than giving a presentation to someone. You wouldn’t obsess about having a conversation with a friend. You just talk about what’s on your mind.
Sharing your videos online is kind of like having a conversation with a group of friends. It doesn’t have to be very formal or even nicely wrapped. Just talk to your camera like you would talk to someone.
If you want to create a simple, small video setup, you can easily do it. You can get some lights on Amazon for as little as twenty bucks, and a simple mic, and there are plenty of simple video editing tools that make it easy to splice video clips. Or you can even hire someone from Fiverr to edit for you.
You may want to consider using:
To Record: Your Phone To Edit: iMovie, InShot, Camtasia, Screenflow Video Makers: Canva, Adobe Spark, Animoto, Vidnami
The main point is that you really just need to get started.
Yes, you can make some inexpensive purchases to enhance the quality of your videos, but don’t let this be a sticking point.
It’s better to just start simple and continue to improve the quality of your videos as you go instead of trying to get it perfect from the start.
Many people ask how long should your videos be?
There’s no hard-set rule. Really, it should be determined by your subject. Make the videos as long as they need to be and no longer.
If you can communicate your points in just a few minutes, then only make your video just a few minutes long. Avoid the temptation to add some filler just to draw out the length.
Tip #3: Deliver Authentic Value
The main key to video marketing is delivering authentic value to your audience.
You want to always be authentic in your videos. Don’t try to put on a fake front or try to be someone you’re not.
So if you really want to stand out in the crowded marketplace, just be yourself. You have something special to offer the world, and you have experiences and insights that no one else has.
Gary Vaynerchuk is a great example of creating videos with real authenticity. He’s not especially polished or a refined-sounding guy. His videos even have a fair amount of profanity in them. He talks like he’s chatting there with a good friend. Everything feels very real and down-to-earth.
And millions of people watch Gary’s videos because he always delivers a ton of authentic value every time.
So, be yourself when you record videos. If you’re funny, include some jokes. If you’re passionate about a subject, let that show through. If something upsets you, make it evident.
However, authenticity isn’t enough. It’s also important to deliver a high amount of value in your videos.
You need to educate or entertain (or both) through the videos you produce. How can you be sure you’re delivering value?
● Answer some commonly asked questions.
● Address your audience’s pain points.
● Teach them how to do something.
● Give some expert advice or insight.
● Provide your “aha” moments.
Your goal is not to make more sales at this point. Your goal is to give value to the people who watch your videos — to help them achieve their goals.
The more authentic value you can bring to your audience, the more you’ll become known as an expert in your market.
Others will look to you for help and solve their problems.
Your brand will start to grow, and you’ll attract those you are best positioned to help. All of these things will ultimately lead to increased sales and revenue.
The goal of delivering authentic value will drive the content of your videos. Many people constantly struggle with knowing exactly what to talk about in their videos. But really, it doesn’t need to be complicated at all. Start by asking yourself these questions:
● What does my audience struggle with?
● What do they need to know?
● What important questions do they ask?
● What problems do they want to solve?
● What single thing would make a difference in their life?
Your videos don’t need to be very long or complex. Answer just one question, solve just one problem or teach the audience just one thing. The more you can narrow down your focus when choosing your topic, the easier it will be to make your video.
If you’re still struggling with exactly what topics to cover, consider the past content you’ve created that resonated well with your audience.
Have you written any blog posts that received a lot of traffic or maybe posted something on social media that received a lot of comments?
All of these things are indicators of what subjects resonate most with your audience.
The good news is the more you make videos, the more you’ll understand what is important to your audience. This will then guide you as you create future videos.
Tip #4: Create a Simple Script
Before you start to film, it’s beneficial to create a simple script for yourself. This script shouldn’t be word for word, detailing exactly what you will say, although you can do that if you want to. A simple alternative is to use a short outline or some bullet points to cover the main points of what you want to say.
Why do you need an outlined script? Because it ensures your video is clear, concise, to the point, and makes sure you don’t miss anything you want to say. If you don’t use some form of script or outline, there’s a good chance you’ll start to ramble, which can bore your audience and cause them to tune out and not finish your video.
A simple script keeps your video on point and prevents it from being longer than it needs to be. It also makes sure that the points you’re making are clear, thought out, and follow a logical order.
To give you an example here is the simple outlined script I used to make a video review for Quickbooks — and the video below.
When creating your script, think of it like you’re preparing a simple speech. In a speech, you have an introduction, your main points, and then your conclusion. Ideally, your script should follow this same pattern.
Be sure to keep your script conversational.
Remember, you will be talking into the camera, and you want to speak naturally in a way that resonates with your viewers.
Think about your audience’s taste.
What kinds of topics would they like to see and hear about?
What do they think is funny and interesting?
What do they want to learn how to do?
Try to incorporate these things into your outline.
After you create your script, run through it a couple of times before you begin to film. This gives you the chance to hear how things sound and to get the content firmly fixed in your mind.
If something sounds off, awkward, or out of place, this is your chance to make changes to fix it.
If you’re like most people (and like me), you’re probably tempted to skip this step and just get right to hitting record.
Avoid making this mistake.
Creating an online is a crucial part of the process and will keep your video on track.
So, write your script, practice it a couple of times, and then record the video when you feel comfortable with what you’ve written.
Tip #5: Draw your Viewer In
Now let’s get into some more practical tips. When creating your videos, try to draw the viewer in quickly, right from the start.
Remember, people have very short attention spans, so you’ll want to grab their attention as quickly as possible. Get to the point fast. Don’t go on and on with a long intro. Start with what they’re going to learn and why they should keep watching.
What are some good ways to get people’s attention?
Try opening your video with a:
● Personal story
● Controversial comment
● Surprising statistic
● “What if?” scenario
● Powerful quote
● Humorous crack
● Thought-provoking question
Your goal is to get people to actively engage with your video right from the very start. To have them thinking, laughing, pondering, or maybe even disagreeing with what you say. The more you can draw them in at the start, the more likely they’ll watch the entire video.
If your beginning is too long or boring, people will quickly tune it out. They’ll go to watching something else or scroll further down in their feed. And most importantly, they won’t be interested in any future videos that you create because they think the content that you produce is boring.
So, take the time to craft an engaging, interesting, captivating introduction to your video. Think about those things that interest you and keep you watching. Implement those things in your own videos.
Step #6: Experiment with Different Types of Videos
One of the cool things about video marketing is that there are so many different formats you can work with.
Some of these are:
How-To Videos
In how-to videos, you show your viewers how to do a certain task or solve a particular problem. For example, you could show them how to perform an exercise or how to use an online tool you like. Google recently reported that 93% of Millennials go to YouTube to learn how to do everyday things.
How-to videos are a great way to demonstrate your knowledge and expertise in a particular area and help your audience solve basic problems that they face.
These types of videos also tend to produce a good amount of comments and questions, which generates interaction between you and your viewers.
Expert Interviews
Expert interview videos are where you talk to someone who is an expert in their field. You ask them questions that are related to your audience.
By speaking to thought leaders and experts, you build trust between you and your viewers. You show that you’re connected to individuals who can help them overcome their problems.
Demo Videos
In demo videos, you show your viewers how one of your products works. For example, let’s say you sell an online program. You could record a video in which you walk your viewers through each module of the course, describing what they’ll learn.
These types of videos are useful for overcoming purchasing objections and showing all the things your program can do.
Event Videos
If your business is hosting an event, videos are a great way to promote it. You could quickly record a short video in which you tell your audience why you’re excited about the event, what will happen there, and why they should come.
These types of videos sway your audience to attend your event and serve to promote your brand further.
Explainer Videos
Explainer videos are a way to assist your customers to better understand their own problems as well as why you’re the best person to help them. In an explainer video, you walk the viewers through a problem or concept that they deal with.
For example, if you’re a fitness coach. You could make a video about why many people deal with lower back pain and some exercises they can do to help it.
By explaining things to your viewers in simple, clear, and interesting ways, you demonstrate your knowledge and show them that you have both the expertise and skill to solve their problems.
Testimonial / Case Study Videos
Testimonials and case studies are great ways to show your viewers that you get actual results for your customers and clients.
They show your prospective customers that what you offer actually works. Show them that you can solve their problems and even change their lives.
An easy way to get some video testimonies and case studies is to interview some of your happy customers via Skype or Zoom (or any other online video program).
You can ask them these questions:
● What were things like before we worked together?
● What problems were you struggling with?
● What things did you try that didn’t work?
● What results did you get after we worked together?
● What actions did we implement?
● What was your overall experience like?
Live Videos
Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube all let you do live stream videos directly to your followers. In these videos, you can interact with your audience in real-time, answering questions, taking them behind the scenes, or showing them what a regular day looks like for you.
There are advantages to doing live videos:
The first advantage is engagement.
Live videos can get a lot of engagement (views, likes, and comments). It has been reported that people will watch live videos up to eight times longer than prerecorded ones.
And the more engagement your videos get, the higher they’ll be in the newsfeed.
Second, you can have a conversation directly with your audience. They can ask you questions and make comments, and you can immediately respond to them.
Customized Videos
Most people don’t think of this, but one unique way for you to do video marketing is to make them custom and personalized.
For example, say that you have a meeting with a potential client who would be a great fit for your business. After your meeting, you can send them a short video in which you thank them, recap your discussion, and then lay out any next steps.
This approach allows you to be much more detailed and personal than you could via email.
Mix It Up
When doing your video marketing, try to create some (or even all) of the different types of video. Mix things up to keep your followers interested. Try a live video one day, then take people behind the scenes another day, and share a customer testimonial on another day.
The more you can shake things up, the more interested your viewers will be and the more likely they will engage with your videos.
Step #7: Repurpose Your Content
Many people struggle to know what to talk about on video. They have no problem creating a video once they get an idea, but they struggle to come up with a good idea to get them started.
If you’re struggling to come up with the topics for your videos, consider repurposing some other content you’ve already created.
Almost any type of content can be repurposed into a video like:
● Blog posts
● Emails
● Presentations
● Podcasts
● Ebooks
For example, let’s say you wrote a great blog post that went over well with your followers. You can easily turn your blog post content into the talking points in your video. Or you can make a separate video on each individual point.
You can use the same approach with your chapters from an eBook, the points you’ve made in a podcast, and more.
For example, we create our podcast SMART AF, that we also turn into a video that we post to YouTube, Facebook and Instagram. And we make it into a blog post.
Are you worried about saying the exact same thing more than once? Don’t be. The reality is different segments of your audience prefer to consume your content on different platforms and in different forms.
Some people want to read your emails and blog posts.
Others would rather watch your video. Still, others would prefer to listen to your podcast.
When you create videos, you connect with different segments of your audience that you might not otherwise. And that is a big win.
Step #8: Use Attractive Video Thumbnails, Titles, and Captions
This practical tip can give you huge results.
Thumbnails
A thumbnail is the image that people see before they click on your video and start watching it. If you use an attractive, captivating thumbnail, your viewers are much more likely to click through to your videos and watch them.
So what makes for a good thumbnail? Ideally, it should have:
● An engaging image that stands out. Don’t use a full black and white image. Use one that pops and will grab people’s attention. Think about adding contrast.
● Text overlaying the picture so it will draw people in. The text should capture the main idea of the video and let people know what they’ll get if they watch.
The good news is that it’s really simple to make thumbnails with your smartphone. Canva makes it incredibly easy with templates where you can just find a great photo and customize your own captivating text on the template.
Titles
You also want to create a great title. The title is the text that sits at the bottom of the video when people see it in their feed. Like your video thumbnail, you want the title to grab people’s attention when they see it.
You want your title to stand out as people scroll through their feeds.
How can you know if your title is good? There’s a great tool for that. Type your current title into the Coschedule Headline Analyzer, and it will analyze your title word by word. It will then give you specific suggestions on how to improve it.
It will tell you what words to add to make it more interesting and more likely to attract more people.
Captions
Finally, it’s good to add captions to your videos. Why? Because many people watch videos without the sound turned on. This is especially true on Facebook, where videos will automatically play when you hover over them.
If you don’t have captions to grab their attention, many people won’t stay around to watch them.
There are easy ways to add captions to your videos. Some platforms, like YouTube and Facebook, use AI to create captions automatically. However, the transcription isn’t perfect, and you’ll need to manually go through it and make any corrections. This can be done pretty quickly.
Another option is to use a paid transcription service, such as Rev or Otter.ai, to create the transcriptions of your videos and then upload them to each platform. The cost of using these services is dependent on the length of your video.
While this method is more expensive than using tools provided by each platform, but it’s more accurate and can save you time if you want high accuracy for your transcripts.
Step #9: Use a Call-To-Action in Your Videos
At some point in every video, you need to include a call to action.
You don’t want your audience to passively watch the videos you create. You want them to actually engage with your videos. To take action. To do something specific after they watch the video.
The more engaged your audience is with your video content, the more views your videos will get. As your videos rack up the views, they’ll be shown to even more people, which will then increase your audience, and so on. It’s a beautiful cycle.
To get your audience to take action, you need to actually ask them to do it.
What sorts of things can you ask your audience to do? Think in terms of engagement. Yes, you do want them to watch your video. But you also want them to subscribe to your channel and follow you. You also want them to like your video and comment on it.
A simple way to get them to take these actions is to ask your audience to do them. You don’t have to make it too long or drawn out. Simply ask them to like, subscribe, and to leave a comment. This is a very common practice on YouTube and is the way many big channels build their audiences and increase the views on their videos.
So, where should you put your call to action?
You have a few options:
• You can put it at the beginning of your video so that it gets people’s attention. However, logically, this doesn’t really make much sense. In the beginning, you haven’t given them any value to the audience yet. You haven’t really given people a reason to like, subscribe, and comment.
• A much better strategy is to put your call-to-action near the middle or at the end of the video. This way, people will see how valuable your videos are and will be more likely to want to engage with them. They will also want to subscribe to your channel or comment on your video once they’ve watched it.
Prove how good you are. Then you can ask people to take action.
Step #10: Collaborate with Others
One of the best ways to really grow your audience online is to collaborate with others.
Collaboration allows you to do several things at once:
Collaboration allows you to reach new audiences.
When you collaborate, you share your audiences. You introduce them to your audience, and they introduce you to theirs. They post the collaboration content to their social media channels, and you do the same.
It’s kind of like you’re sharing the stage with them, which opens up opportunities you wouldn’t have had otherwise.
You begin to establish yourself as an expert in your field.
Those who watch your interview see that you’re connected to other influential people. You also demonstrate that people want to work with you, which then creates more trust with your audience.
Collaborating gets you connected to other like-minded, influential people.
When you collaborate with someone, amazingly, you also get access to their contacts. You even can ask them to recommend other people that you should collaborate with in the future. They can, in turn, connect you with those people, which is a really big step.
People are more likely to work with you if you have a shared contact.
You may be wondering, what types of videos should you make when you collaborate with someone?
There are several possibilities:
● Joint webinar
● Review each other’s products
● Expert interview
● Live, in-person
● And more
You’re only limited by your imagination.
The only collaboration requirement is that the video brings authentic value to both of your audiences. This means you should only collaborate with people that you know you trust. You don’t want to begin a collaboration project, only to discover halfway through that they’re not the best fit for your audience.
Focus on collaborating with those who will offer something truly unique and helpful to your audience.
Your Audience is Waiting
We’ve covered a lot of ground! In this article, you’ve learned about:
● How to pick your primary platform
● Why you need to start simple
● How to Deliver authentic value
● Why create a simple script
● How to draw the viewer from the start
● Different types of video to experiment with
● How to repurpose your content
● Why use attractive thumbnails, titles, and captions
● How to use calls-to-action
● How to collaborate with others
When it comes to video marketing, you need to be patient with yourself. Unless you happen to create a viral video, you probably won’t see explosive growth.
But, if you keep at it, consistently delivering insights and value in your videos, you will grow. People will start to share your videos with others, which will lead to even more exposure, and ultimately the explosive growth of your channel.
No matter what, don’t overthink your video marketing efforts. When it comes to video creation, many people experience paralysis by analysis. They feel intimidated since they don’t know how to do everything perfectly from the start.
But the reality is that that smartphone in your hand and your social media accounts have made it incredibly easy for YOU to do video marketing.
The barrier to getting started is incredibly low. It has never been easier to get your message and business in front of thousands of people for free.
So, don’t wait around any longer when it comes to your video marketing. Your audience is waiting for you.
So go out there and get started!

Doodle Video Maker Online
|
Doodle video maker online as a part of your online marketing strategy. On our busy schedule, people often prefer to watch a two-minute video rather than a 15-minute read of the same information.
Moderators of this year’s inbound marketing and sales conferences seem to have agreed that about half of all content marketers will produce video in 2017.

Have you heard about Doodle Maker Whiteboard Animation platform?
If not, this is the right article for you.
Nowadays, content creators and business owners use so many publicity ads that you have to do something else to enjoy them.
Doodle Videos are one of the most popular and influential ways to share the marketing message, while not recording a video of yourself but using animation instead.

Top benefits of video marketing for your business
Video increases conversion rates.
1.The video should be considered an investment-according to HubSpot, including video on your landing page can increase your conversions by 80%.
Communicating the right emotions through video is a powerful sales tool. It can also be used as a built-in tutorial or introductory text, depending on the desired angle.
Watching a compelling presenter in a video can completely shake your buying behaviour and not only read the same information, but also convince you to turn your visitors into customers.
2. The video is a great addition to your email marketing campaign. We are all flooded with email, and getting someone to actually open your email becomes an increasingly challenging one.
Simply using “video” in the subject line may increase the open rate and decrease the withdrawal rate.
But in most cases, you can’t deny that watching a video is easier than sitting and reading a text, right?
This is especially useful for showing how to use the product or for expressing the same effect that cannot be conveyed in written words.
3. Search engines love video and so your content and website is more likely to be found by the rights audience.

How (and Why) to Convert Your Videos to GIFs
|
What kinds of visual content are you currently using in your brand’s digital marketing? Aside from images and video, one type that you might be overlooking is the GIF.
Sitting nicely in the middle between images and videos, animated GIFs are appearing everywhere across the internet. And you can repurpose video content into GIFs — helping you to make the most of your investment in video.
Knowing where to start can be tricky. Fortunately, at Blueprint Film, we have years of experience in making quality GIFs from the videos we produce for our clients and for our own marketing efforts.
In this post, you’ll learn what GIFs are and why you should be using them. Then you will receive step-by-step instructions on how to convert videos into GIFs using different tools and apps.
WHAT ARE GIFS, EXACTLY?
A GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) is a type of image file that can be either still or animated (with the latter being more popular).
They have no audio, usually last just a few seconds long, and play on a loop.
Brands are using them across digital marketing platforms, including on web pages, on social media sites like Twitter, in blog articles and even in emails.
Read on to discover why GIFs are so popular, how you can use them, and how to make a GIF from a video.
WHY MAKE GIFS FROM VIDEOS?
Now that you know what GIFs are, you may be wondering what’s the use of making GIFs from videos. Aren’t GIFs just shorter, soundless, more repetitive versions of videos? Well, not quite.
We know from the benefits of video that movement is eye-catching. With animated GIFs, the viewer doesn’t have to even press a play button, since they loop continuously and automatically.
And because they’re so short and easy to consume, GIFs are very shareable.
Another benefit of using GIFs is that they humanise your marketing efforts. Since so many people are using GIFs themselves and sharing them with friends and family, GIFs are a way to speak your audience’s language.
Animated GIFs also have the advantage of having small file sizes (at least compared to video) and loading quickly.
And of course, with GIFs, you don’t need to start from scratch. An array of online tools have made converting videos into GIFs a fast and easy process.
WHEN & HOW TO USE GIFS:
Ideas for using GIFs:
Post them as teasers for your video content.
As social media content (works on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, Reddit & more).
To make blog posts more visually appealing.
Include GIFs in your email marketing campaigns.
To show off your products/services in a more dynamic format than images.
To transform infographics or data.
How-to GIFs to illustrate steps in a process.
HOW TO CONVERT VIDEOS INTO GIFS:
1. CHOOSING THE RIGHT CONTENT FOR YOUR GIF
Great GIFs start with great video content. But unless you’re creating a GIF from a particularly short video, you need to decide which part of your video to repurpose into a GIF.
First, go through your video content and look for any eye-catching shots of clips. Focus on any that perfectly capture the right emotion, message, and/or manage to best showcase your product or service. Aim for short and sweet so that your final GIF does not have a massive file size and will load quickly online.
If your video does not already have any, you may consider adding captions for any dialogue or voice-over since GIFs do not use audio.
2. USING GIPHY’S GIF MAKER TOOL
GIPHY is a free-to-use online database and search engine for creating, browsing and sharing animated GIFs. Available on iOS, Android and web browsers, it has a free GIF maker tool which can convert video files and URLs into GIFs. GIPHY is one of the more popular video-to-GIF conversion tools, because it is free, easy-to-use, and offers several editing options. Here’s how to use it:
Go to GIPHY.com and select the ‘Create’ button Add your video by either uploading it (free account required for this) or by copy-pasting the link to your video. Use the sliders to set the start time and the duration of your GIF. (Optional) caption and decorate your video as you please using stickers, filters and drawings. Choose to enter a source URL, add tags and decide whether to make your GIF public or private before uploading. Once your GIF is ready, GIPHY gives you the option to copy links download media, embed the GIPHY player or share your creation on social media.
3. CREATING GIFS IN ADOBE PHOTOSHOP
Many consider Adobe Photoshop to be the industry standard in image editing software. But did you know it can also be used to create GIFs? Given its array of features, it’s a bit less straightforward to use than tools like GIPHY. So we’ve simplified Photoshop’s video to GIF creation process for you:
From the toolbar, go to File > Import > Video Frames To Layers. Select the video you want to use to create your GIF, Choose to import the video either from beginning to end or a selected range (using the trim controls), and make sure that the ‘Make Frame Animation’ box is ticked. Open the timeline view (found under Windows in the toolbar). On the repeat menu along the bottom, select ‘forever’. Go to File > Export > Save For Web. On the screen that comes up, set the preset to GIF 128 Dithered, change the Colours to 256 and change the image size to your requirements. Make sure the Looping Options is still set to Forever, then save your GIF.

Lifestyle Video: 6 Uses for Your Company
|
How can you best spark desire and appeal to the customer demographic that your company is trying to reach?
Lifestyle video focuses on the ‘lifestyle’ and emotions behind your product, service or brand. It takes on questions such as: who are the people using your product/service? How does using it make them feel? What kind of lifestyle does your product/service establish or align with?
Are you curious about what lifestyle videos can do for your business? Watch our lifestyle video showreel below, and read on to learn the 6 key uses for lifestyle video that can benefit your company.
BENEFITS OF LIFESTYLE VIDEO
1. APPEAL TO A SPECIFIC DEMOGRAPHIC OR SUBCULTURE.
One of the most compelling features of a lifestyle video is the appeal to that of a specific demographic or (sub)culture. For example, a video campaign might use a fitness blogger to target young fitness enthusiasts and promote a new Yoga app. Even if you’re not strictly a lifestyle company/brand, the approach used in lifestyle videos to appeal to a specific group can come in handy. Perhaps your target audience is young parents. A lifestyle video can help them visualise how your product/service can fit into their way of life, encouraging them to further consider your company’s offerings.
A lifestyle video can hone in/target an audience’s…
Hobbies & interests
Favourite influencers
Political beliefs
Age group
Job and working life
Desired lifestyle
Self-perception
Ideal self
Demographic make-up
2. SHOW YOUR PRODUCT IN ACTION.
Sure, lifestyle videos tend to focus more on the customer than the product itself. But that doesn’t mean they can’t be a compelling way to sell your product to viewers. The key here is to not be overly sales-y or focus too much on the product’s features. Rather, lifestyle video can suggest how your product naturally fits into people’s current or desired lifestyle.
Take a look at the lifestyle film we produced for Chesneys and their product, the Clean Burn XL. The video does not throw loads of information at the viewer about the new product. Instead, we chose to simply show the Clean Burn XL being put in action by people in several scenarios. All of these scenarios relate to a relaxed, warm lifestyle surrounded by friends and family.
3. OFFER CONTENT THAT EDUCATES & INFORMS.
Lifestyle content should not be overly sales-y. Another way to appeal to the lifestyle of your audience is through offering educational content that aligns with their interests and needs.
As an example. cosmetic companies frequently post make-up tutorials to walk viewers through how to achieve a specific desired look using their products. Alongside giving a close-up look at your products, this demonstrates an awareness of what your target audience is looking for. And it makes your company valuable to them beyond what you sell.
4. REINFORCE YOUR MESSAGE WITH STUNNING LOCATIONS, VISUALS & MUSIC.
A massive part of what makes video so powerful is how it engages multiple senses. With lifestyle, it’s not just the subject and content of the video that makes it so effective. It’s also the settings, visuals and music.
Watch the above lifestyle film we created for Starpoint Outdoor Solutions and their outdoor pod. Note how we used a picturesque yet relatable setting (a back garden), an upbeat music track and various high-definition close-ups and full-body shots. When all of these elements are combined, it creates a sense of quality, luxury and joy.
5. COMBINE LIFESTYLE VIDEO WITH CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS.
Lifestyle and testimonial marketing is a powerful combination. When you use features of lifestyle video in a testimonial video, you get a case study that goes beyond a few short quotes about your product’s features. Here, the idea is to pay attention to the lifestyle of the person providing the testimonial — who should be representative of your target audience. This shows consumers that you are interested in their lives as individuals. It also allows consumers to further put themselves in the shoes of the testimonial subject.
6. COMPANY LIFESTYLE & CULTURE
On top of reflecting your consumer’s lifestyles, lifestyle video is also effective at communicating the lifestyle and culture of your company and employees. For one, this can humanise your company to your target audience. But primarily, this format is a perfect fit for recruitment campaigns. Potential recruits will appreciate getting a clear look and feel of your work environment. And when potential recruits have a strong idea of the company culture, it makes it more likely that the right people will apply.

How to make them interesting?
Demo videos might be monotonous at times, but you can make them interesting. Here’s something you can do to improve on the quality that you give out.

Always question the purpose of your demo videos, i.e.,
What- The demo does or what it solves How- The demo rectifies the issue Why- The demo should pull customers towards you.
The characters of your videos should be relatable to your audience.
Don’t give away too much. The videos should show the working but keep your ground and show that it’s you who is adding the ‘how.’ Show your value.
Always work on including a CTA. You sure don’t want to miss out on those prospects who come to you but don’t get a direction. You may have a look at the following video for the same:

Indulge in creating a video hook for your narrative. People should be lured to watch what you present. Make sure to do that.
Please give them a personalized touch to make them more attractive to your viewers.
Conduct proper research before you give anything out to your audience. The best way to start, ask a lot of questions about anything and everything for your product. Try to see it from the buyer’s perspective.

Various IT Outsourcing Models: How to Choose the Best One For Your Business?
|
Do you want to cooperate with an outsourcing company, but you do not know which cooperation model to choose? This article will compare the most popular outsourcing models and help you decide which one will be the best for your business.
Location-Based Types of IT Outsourcing
Outsourcing can be divided into two ways, depending on the location or form of collaboration. In the case of the first one, these are:
Onshore Software Development — the outsourcing vendor and its client, are from the same country.
— the outsourcing vendor and its client, are from the same country. Nearshore Software Development — the outsourcing vendor and its client, are from the same continent.
— the outsourcing vendor and its client, are from the same continent. Offshore Software Development — the outsourcing vendor is from a different continent than its client.
For more about these models, read the article: Onshore, Nearshore & Offshore — What Is It?
In this case, the issues you should consider are:
- cultural proximity,
- time zone,
- level of English,
- level of programming skills,
- cost.
When deciding on one of these models, you should compare the differences between specific countries. In this article: Top IT Outsourcing Destinations in 2021 and 2022. In Which Country Can You Find the Best Developers? we compared 11 most popular outsourcing destinations, where we took into account issues such as programming skills, cultural proximity, and average developer salary.
Relationship-Based Types of IT Outsourcing
Another important decision is the type of partnership with the outsourcing company.
Here you have 4 ways to choose:
It’s a critical choice, so we’ll focus on just that division and help you make the best decision for your business in this article.
1. Project-based IT outsourcing
The most classic outsourcing model is project outsourcing, where the outsourcing company is responsible for the entire project. It is its responsibility to deliver the project on time, manage and hire employees. The project team has all the needed professionals to execute your application or software.
In this model, the outsourcing company is responsible for managing risks such as rotations or other factors that cause possible delays. Notably, a project manager is assigned to the project, and he manages the entire software development process. Of course, you will be able to monitor the progress of the work on an ongoing basis, but it is the provider who decides which people to hire or which tools to use to complete the project.
Key benefits:
Saving time — you don’t have to spend time and energy recruiting, onboarding and managing the team responsible for delivering the project.
— you don’t have to spend time and energy recruiting, onboarding and managing the team responsible for delivering the project. Cost optimization — when you decide on such a cooperation model, you know exactly how much it will cost. You do not have to worry about salaries, benefits, office or administrative costs.
— when you decide on such a cooperation model, you know exactly how much it will cost. You do not have to worry about salaries, benefits, office or administrative costs. Less responsibility — the supplier manages all the risks connected with the project, and he is responsible for delivering the project on time.
When to choose a project-based outsourcing model?
Choose this solution if:
Your IT team is busy with other tasks.
You don’t need such a large IT team permanently as you would need for this project.
You don’t have your own internal IT team.
Your project requires a lot of experience and knowledge, which your company doesn’t have.
You want to focus on other tasks and pass the entire responsibility to the provider.
You need a specific thing to do (e.g. application, software, functionality), but you don’t need a whole team to maintain it in the future.
You are the founder of a startup, and you don’t yet have the knowledge and experience to do this project internally.
2. Staff Augmentation
Staff augmentation is adding external specialists for the internal team through an outsourcing company. You can choose the specific people you want to work with by reviewing the resumes offered by the vendor. It is usually temporary cooperation chosen by companies that need support in implementing larger projects. In this model, team and project management is on your side. You are also responsible for delivering the project on time.
[ Read also: What is Staff Augmentation? ]
Benefits of staff augmentation:
More control over the project — external employees are an integral part of the team and work on your terms.
external employees are an integral part of the team and work on your terms. Quick fill of staff shortages — you don’t waste time on internal recruitment
— you don’t waste time on internal recruitment Flexibility — you can scale your team up or down at any time.
— you can scale your team up or down at any time. No administrative costs — people who join your team can be hired directly by the provider.
— people who join your team can be hired directly by the provider. Increased productivity — you get programmers dedicated exclusively to your project.
When should you choose staff augmentation?
This model is the best choice if:
You have your own IT team working on a project but need temporary support to finish your work faster.
You have problems finding qualified specialists with niche skills to join your team and care about time.
You want to have an impact on what kind of people take part in your project.
You want to have control over every aspect of the project.
3. Managed team
This model involves hiring an external team of developers to perform a specific scope of work. This team does not work directly with the internal team as in the case of staff augmentation but reports its tasks to the PM, CTO or the client. Like the augmentation model, you get specialists entirely focused on your product, but they do not become part of your internal team.
It is an intermediate solution between staff augmentation and project outsourcing.
What kind of specialists can you hire in this model? The number and roles depend on your project. It may be a complete IT team, or it may be, for example, a dedicated testing team. The outsourcing provider should be able to select specialists according to your requirements.
Benefits of a managed team:
More control over the process — in this model, you communicate directly with all project members, and they report directly to you.
— in this model, you communicate directly with all project members, and they report directly to you. Better communication — members of a dedicated team usually know each other well and can work together effectively.
— members of a dedicated team usually know each other well and can work together effectively. Reduced risk — a dedicated team has experience in delivering the solution you need, so there is a greater chance of success on this project.
— a dedicated team has experience in delivering the solution you need, so there is a greater chance of success on this project. Time savings — you don’t have to waste time recruiting additional people to your team. What’s more, if you don’t have time to manage, you can assign an external PM responsible for managing the team
When should you choose a managed team?
This model is the best solution when you need to perform tasks that you don’t want to involve an internal team in, or you need specific skills that your employees don’t have and the company doesn’t want to invest in.
4. Body leasing
Body leasing is a model in which an external supplier finds an employee for you. It is the best solution for companies looking for an employee with specific skills and experience temporarily or for a particular project. You can even enlist the support of this specialist within a specific time frame — for example, on specific days of the month when your internal team needs additional support.
The person who joins your team in this model signs a contract with the outsourcing provider, so you don’t have to worry about administrative issues or providing them with full-time work assignments.
[ Read also: Body Leasing — 3 Points to Consider While Choosing This Outsourcing Model ]
Benefits of IT body leasing:
Time savings — instead of recruiting an employee for your team, you can focus on other tasks.
— instead of recruiting an employee for your team, you can focus on other tasks. Flexibility — supporting the person hired in this model is up to you. You decide when and for how long you need their support.
— supporting the person hired in this model is up to you. You decide when and for how long you need their support. Convenience — you do not have to worry about administrative issues and finding tasks for this employee to fill his full-time position.
When should you choose IT body leasing?
If you need to quickly find IT specialists with specific technological skills, but:
You don’t have time to recruit them.
You need occasional and temporary part-time support.
You are looking for a specialist with niche skills.
Are you looking for qualified IT professionals to work within one of the above models? Contact us and tell us about your needs.

Agile Outsourcing — 12 Principles To Guarantee Project Success
|
When you implement agile outsourcing it might appear incompatible to merge agile processes and outsourcing. The agile techniques, with its emphasis on collaboration, frequently contrasts with the traditional outsourcing paradigm, which necessitates contracting with providers whose employees are educated primarily to follow direction rather than collaborate.
By mixing in-house and vendor teams you can still implement agile methodology while continuing to outsource and have benefits such as lower fixed costs and increased access to desirable skill sets. The key to success with agile outsourcing is to get a partner that can handle the dynamics of validated learning smoothly with a solid software development process, both on the software design and engineering side.
At SoftKraft we deliver Full-cycle Software Product Development in this article we share with you how we guarantee outsourced projects business objectives are met using 12 principles.
1. Guide your product vision with validated learning
For starters, you should focus on defining the goals, business value, and success criteria of your project. By doing this you gain a clear image of your intentions and ideal endpoint. You need straightforward goals to be able to create a realistic plan to accomplish them and achieve project long term success.
Our advice for creating a solid plan for your project is to look at the bigger picture. These next questions can help you do that:
Are you addressing a specific problem? Can you define the problem?
What is the end goal?
Which team members will be essential for this project?
After you finished outlining your goals you can follow these steps to plan the delivery:
Agree on the necessary features
Establish the amount of work your team needs to complete for every sprint
Include interactions and stories until you reach maximum capacity
Show your plan and gather opinions and feedback on it
Learning is the key ingredient for a successful agile software development project. You have to adopt hypothesis-driven experimentation, iterative product releases, and validated learning.
If you aim to improve your software development process, you need to take into account learning, especially when you bring the lean aspect into it. Build vision pivots. While software developers are not a fan of them, they can’t be missing if you want a successful project. In the case of wrong-produced hypotheses, they can be changed immediately.
2. Identify all stakeholders (and involve them in the process)
Every project has multiple stakeholders, and you can’t expect all of them to be participating in every detail of the project. When we say project stakeholders:
company leadership
end-users
customers
Outsourced projects can differ in nature, so sometimes, you can expect stakeholders outside organizations or even individuals that will use or be directly affected by the final product. Let’s see why you have to involve stakeholders in the agile development process:
stakeholders can provide valuable expertise regarding processes, historical information, or even industry insight.
by engaging your stakeholders, you will reduce risks and uncover them faster
early users enable your team to evaluate the project outcomes sooner
engaging and involving stakeholders regularly from the beginning will lead to a higher chance of a positive project conclusion
3. Manage project scope, budget, and timeline in each iteration
Scope, budget, and timeline are at the heart of project management. We highly recommended starting agile software development project with:
1. Approximate estimations based on your goals You will obtain an initial figure that will represent the total estimated cost for the project. This estimation is built on information from the sponsor regarding the expectations and requirements for the product. Here we have to include target users, purpose, and what issue or problem it is intended to solve.
2. Product discovery workshop This event should mark the start of every project. In this event, you have to gather the whole development team, including scrum masters and project owners, and review the business idea and the details of the future product. By doing this, the team can better identify the required work and budget.
The main discussion points in these workshops are:
The goal of the product and the business idea behind it
User stories
The product’s maturity
Possible solutions
Risks associated with the project
Choices regarding technology
The agile approach makes budget management is a shared responsibility. The Product Owner manages the backlog, the sponsor agrees on the budget, and the team delivers the backlog and spends or manages the sprint budget within agreed constraints.
The final step consists of planning a timeline of the stages you will go throughout the project. You have to break down the tasks that must be completed and connect them to your budget and team to obtain an initial estimate of the project timeline.
Even after completing all these steps, you will still be confronted with a high uncertainty level, which is typical for software development. We advise you to allocate extra time to complete the tasks or bring a project manager to guarantee that project progresses fast enough to meet deadlines.
In agile model, the scope, budget, and timeline are under constant pressure from new discoveries from users’ and customers’ feedback. That’s why it’s very important to establish a product discovery team. Rember that your goal is working software!
4. Establish a product discovery team
Proper, ongoing requirements analysis and planning are critical to software development. As a result, changing prediction techniques is difficult because the development process follows the plan to a tee.
Agile software development, on the other hand, necessitates the capacity to make changes quickly. At any point during the development process, changes can be made. This requires you to be always ready to act based on new deliverables and quickly update design and requirements.
This design team needs to be constantly validating project deliverables. The reason for this is simple: in case something goes wrong, they can quickly pinpoint where it went wrong.
Sometimes change is inevitable so this means your team needs to plan a process to manage scope change, so the project doesn’t suffer later. Your project needs a strong foundation to prevent any unplanned changes in project scope, timeline, or budget.
5. Bring Experienced Engineering Leader
Building an engineering team starts with a high-performing leader, who brings in technical capabilities and chooses necessary technology talent to accomplish the work. A strong leader can advise clients, manage remote teams, and protect you from poor team coordination, and quality assurance issues.
Finding the right Engineering Leader with both technology competency and who can advise customers in agile projects can prove to be a real challenge. But you do have the option of hiring somebody with experience in your domain, and with many projects under his belt is essential.
Outsourcing software development services will spare you from doing the effort of searching, interviewing and hiring, and provide you with an ideal team picked according to your needs.
At SoftKraft we are true software partner and we have dedicated development tracks to ensure talent pool for Engineering Leader position. Our Engineering Leaders not only handle the technology, and team, but also work towards client’s long-term success on all levels. For example, they are capable of joining your design team and contributing to the product development process.
6. Build high performing engineering team
We believe that dedication is contagious: if team members are proactive and driven, and the manager serves as a role model, other team members are more inclined to behave similarly. The best way to build dedication is to equip the team and allow the team to make more decisions. I.e. allow them to set timeframes and conduct team rituals. Engineering Leader must drive performance in a concise manner that is guided by your vision and business goals.
Many attempts have been made over the years to measure the performance of software teams. The issue is that most models have two major flaws: they focus on outputs rather than outcomes. They are more concerned with individual performance than with team or company performance.
In practice, a high performing engineering team ultimate metric is change fail percentage, which is the proportion of changes to production that result in a hotfix, rollback, or period of degraded performance. This includes, of course, software releases and configuration changes, as both are common causes of software failure.
This metric is the Lean equivalent of ‘percent complete and accurate,’ commonly used in a generic product delivery process. This is common sense, and it is consistent with our understanding of manufacturing companies: you don’t want to increase factory production throughput at the expense of quality control.
With high pressure on teams to perform, the failure percentage is another vital software engineering KPI. The ratio of defects presented in pre-production testing to those making it to production is your defect escape rate. This enables you to assess your team’s software releases’ overall quality regularly.

7. Hold a kickoff meeting
As the first meeting between members of the project team and, potentially, the client or sponsor, the kick-off meeting is an excellent opportunity to establish expectations and create strong team morale.
Your kick-off is a time to introduce the team to the project, decide on teamwork, and set project goals and check-ins. You might want to outline how you’ll communicate, meet, and what could slow down the process (and how to avoid that).
Our typical project kick-off meeting agenda:
Team Roles — introduce team and what they will be responsible for.
— introduce team and what they will be responsible for. Vision statement — like “For <customer>, the <project name> does / provides / solves <problem / solution statement>. Unlike <competitor / comparison point>, it will <differentiator>.”
— like “For <customer>, the <project name> does / provides / solves <problem / solution statement>. Unlike <competitor / comparison point>, it will <differentiator>.” Project Scope — You present the MVP features we need to deliver. It would be great to cover also a high-level epic journey: What user personas are involved? Where it fits in the user experience? NOTE: people will know the documentation you provided before the meeting.
— You present the MVP features we need to deliver. It would be great to cover also a high-level epic journey: What user personas are involved? Where it fits in the user experience? NOTE: people will know the documentation you provided before the meeting. Timeline and Metrics — The project sponsor presents his point of view on Trade-off so we can make smaller decisions quickly and autonomously. Refer to the Trade-off Sliders play for full instructions.

Success factors (group session) — to engage people. Ask everyone to write down what they think will make this project a success. Have the team post up their ideas. Discuss how you could measure each one.

— things that need to be done or provided, either once or regularly, to make the project a success. Team communication plan — Here I will discuss how we will communicate — how often, in what form, etc.
8. Prepare and estimate the project requirements using Planning Poker
The project requirements have to be listed out and then estimated. Scrum and agile methodologies approaches require that you create a Product Backlog for this task. Once you have your list, you should leave the estimation to the people who will be working on those items. In Agile management, the estimation must be done by someone on the team to be considered valid.
Planning Poker ends up with assigning a score for each item on the list. Note that scores represent the amount of effort each item will require. They haven’t been attached to a timeline yet.
Planning Pocker estimating method brings multiple benefits for the project:
encourages team collaboration and team building
conversational style can provoke valuable insights from software development team who might not have a platform to discuss their opinions and experiences otherwise
who might not have a platform to discuss their opinions and experiences otherwise requiring individuals to defend their predictions results in estimates that more adequately adjust for missing data
improves estimate accuracy, especially on items with a lot of uncertainty
9. Measure work progress using the definition of “done”
While Agile software development teams are defined as cross-functional, they come with some limits. For example, not every software development project will include a lawyer in their team.
The limited nature of cross-functional teams is used to gauge how much the team will deliver in each cycle. If something appears and it is outside the team’s knowledge, it will be done pre-work or at the end of the cycle or even concurrently with the development team.
To obtain a better understanding of this work you can create an organization-wide value stream map for project delivery. By creating this map, you will find out the amount of time spent on each type of work. If you take out the work that has to be done by the Agile team, you will obtain a clear image of the work that needs to be done outside the team.
The amount of work found in the value stream map is a good start for setting up the budget based on the project’s cycle labor costs.
10. Do risk assessments regularly
Every project comes with risks. Risks are problems that may arise over the course of project development. Project management has the task of identifying and reducing risk beginning at the project planning phase. We recommend you plan a meeting to discuss this or simply ask all the team members about what risks may arise.
When considering risks, you should look into these areas:
Project Scope
Resources (staff, financial, and physical)
Project delays
Failures of Technology or Communication
Complete control over all potential risks is impossible, so you should focus on considering them early on to avoid project failure.
Here’s an example of the technical risk management plan:
11. Communicate, Communicate, Communicate
Agile manifesto encourages developers to communicate better by putting team collaboration. When using agile model, the team members work closely with the stakeholders, resulting in improved decision making, and better customer satisfaction. Using task management software can help increase efficiency.
Keep in mind that agile methodology needs solid communication between the client and the offshore development team to achieve project goals and ensure proper software delivery.
Honesty is important in this relationship. Because of some cultural differences, a common situation is that software developers avoid speaking their minds for fear of upsetting the client. Sometimes misunderstandings can appear, caused by filling the knowledge gaps with wrong information.
Frequent team visits and other team building activities are a great addition, but communication tools, outsourcing vendor company culture and business processes guarantee outsourcing model success.
The point is that there’s nothing such as over-communication in agile software development. To set the project for a great result, we recommend setting up as many communication channels as you can.
Outsourcing vendor appoints at least one member in their team who speaks fluently in the client’s native language to represent the client accurately. This person’s role usually falls into the categories of Engineering Lead or a certified Scrum professional. You should consider an individual that can hold this responsibility, and it’s known to be reliable.
On the other side, clients have to name a dedicated representative, that is very familiar with the knowledge and can communicate efficiently with the offshore development team.
The client’s representative is usually authorized to accept changes or approve work.
12. Continually seek excellence
Offshore teams need to constantly seek excellence. With agile methodology teams are more likely to bring up new ideas and innovation than waterfall development Ultimately, these teams are more comfortable with making high-stakes decisions that lead to high-quality products.
Self-organizing teams spot weaknesses faster because all team members have a sense of ownership that makes them want to improve. The project managers of these teams are more likely to keep up with trends and the changing environment of software development.
Conclusion
Many organizations apply agile techniques in outsourcing. If you have a good opinion of the supplier, you can go ahead and connect the assigning of the project to the success of the iterations. While you’re at it, keep sprints short. Don’t forget to delimitate specific success standards, besides acceptance tests and delivery timeline. Agile software development outsourcing means that you can check on the performance of your offshore team and make changes if necessary.
Finally, you can simply evaluate the team’s work and decide if software outsourcing helps achieve your business goals.

iPhone Made in India: Apple Outsourcing Strategy
|
Author — Sophia Kasyanenko, Digital Content Producer at Ralabs.
Outsourcing has definitely become prominent in the world of IT since it allows finding quick solutions of good quality for a lower price. Eastern Europe, India and Asia are the most frequent choices for outsourcing, especially for projects based in the US. But while it seems reasonable for startups to outsource software development, why do huge companies choose to outsource as opposed to hiring engineers in-house?
Let’s consider the case of Apple, a company with an established reputation globally, that appears to have much experience in outsourcing.
Outsourcing as a Concept
Why?
In general, companies have been outsourcing more and more over the last decade, and it’s pretty reasonable to do so from a business perspective because of the benefits of outsourcing IT. According to a recent study on why businesses outsource, the three top reasons are to:
reduce the cost of the project
have more control over the core functions
find solutions to capacity issues
Here are some other advantages of outsourcing development:
Benefits of outsourcing software development (image source)
What?
In pursuit of achieving business goals, companies outsource app development and maintenance, data operations and administration, security and support services.
Where?
Considering the destinations that are most often chosen as offshore partners, this year’s report ranks India as the number one country for outsourcing software development. It’s followed by Ukraine and China, respectively. The criteria for a country to be suitable for outsourcing include a capable and diverse talent pool, the ability to communicate in English and the cost of labor.
Apple’s Story
It’s no secret that Apple has been outsourcing its manufacturing to China for years now. But the media, particularly the American one, did not react well to the news when it first became clear. That was the reason why the company became secretive about its software outsourcing and remains such today.
Have you ever thought of where the new iPhone 2019 introduced at the recent Apple conference was actually made? The top destination for Apple’s outsourcing is India:
Where big companies (Apple, Google & Facebook) outsource development (image source)
In 2012, the news on Apple’s decision to collaborate with software developers in India was shared online, yet not so many details were revealed. It was announced that the representatives of the company met with Infosys and Wipro, India’s biggest consultancy companies, which started the rumors. Eventually, a $100 million part of Apple’s budget went to India to develop back-end software for the company’s products, and the investment increased by at least four times in the following several years. The outsource aimed to develop software for iPhones.
In 2017, the info on iPad software being outsourced was confirmed as well. Particularly, Apple news regarding an alliance with Accenture, an IT consulting and outsourcing company functioning in multiple countries, was announced at the time. Apple was looking for an IT solution to develop a range of apps for iOS.
Here’s a visual illustrating Apple’s value distribution among the activities and countries:
Apple’s value distribution (image source)
What Does Apple Outsource?
Speaking of Apple’s manufacturing being outsourced, it’s clear that they get parts and resources that are challenging to access and assemble the products for a lower cost.
But things are less obvious with software outsourcing in terms of what services are offshored in particular. It’s true that Apple’s products are designed in the US, along with R&D and marketing, yet engineering is conducted globally. These include software audits and performance testing as the biggest part of what Apple outsources.

In addition, Apple’s supply chain is pretty complicated because of the numerous overseas connections, which led them to collaborate with German resource planning software.
The Reasons
Of course, cutting the cost of labor is a reason applicable to any company that outsources, and Apple is not an exception. However, it doesn’t seem to be a priority. Instead, outsourcing some stages of a product development process allows for flexibility, more control and hence, increased efficiency. The company gets the job done several times faster than when it would be performed in the US:
Why Apple outsources to China (image source)
Another major reason why Apple outsources is that the US does not provide the desired talent pool. As mentioned earlier, the US has not made it to the top 3 countries for outsourcing yet, which gives a hint on its IT talent pool and makes the decision to outsource pretty reasonable. It is the quality of the job performance that Apple pursues, and if it requires moving the project to a different country, it’s the price to pay. Consequently, these are the criteria for choosing an offshore software partner for Apple.
And they seem to do everything right, referring to the increasing revenue rates:

Sum-Up
Apple is one of the biggest companies on the market today and included to the list of companies that outsource. While the fact of its manufacturing being outsourced to Asia, mostly China, has been clear for years, the offshore software partners are discussed less in the media.
However, it has been confirmed that Apple outsources some software development services to India because of the country’s large talent pool and expertise of the specialists. And these facts are not surprising since the company values the reputation it has established and ensures that they continue to produce the best products for their customers.
If even such a giant company as Apple choices outsourcing, this option is definitely worth considering.

Finding building work opportunities
When you want to search for bid opportunities, the easiest and best way is through portals. This is the first stage of how to tender for building work. There are several sites, ours included, that offer streamlined experiences to help make finding contracts easy. The UK has a contract finder, for example, that allows users to use filters. These filters can be selected to show results that are suitable for SMEs or from certain periods of time. You can also discover awarded contracts. It is a great tool for finding contracts.
As mentioned, there are lots of sites that host portals for tender opportunities. These portals make it much easier to find contracts. So, instead of going through dozens of websites and painstakingly searching, you can easily find the information you need. One aspect that sets our portals apart from the rest is that we don’t use CPV codes. This means we check all opportunities as we upload them to our portal, so no contracts will be missed.
Since we are focused on how to tender for building work, we recommend our construction portal.
It is important when searching for opportunities that you check your eligibility. Many businesses will bid for work they cannot actually deliver. This is a huge waste of time, money, and resources. If you hire bid writing services, these experts will be able to help you break down a bid, checking your eligibility.
Writing the bid
Once you have selected the opportunity you wish to pursue, you can begin to write your bid. A lot of people may worry at this stage.

3. Proofreading abilities
Your bid is your opportunity to stand out and impress the buyer. You won’t do this if your bid is full of errors. It gives the impression you are not thorough with your work. So, it is important to proof and edit your work, so it is as close to perfect as possible.
4. Time and project management

The True Cost of Hiring vs. Outsourcing in Software Development
|
Author: Christian Gellert
It is one of the most significant trends in the IT industry. Outsourcing your software development is an excellent way to stay competitive. The trend is not only cost-effective but also gives companies an opportunity at obtaining skills at a far broader scale.
Companies often prefer in-house hiring for various reasons, such as better control of resources and processes. So what should you choose? Let’s find out!
In-House vs. Outsourcing: What’s the Difference?
In-House
When software development takes place in-house, full-time developers must be hired on-site. This means a whole range of fixed costs such as monthly compensation and benefits. The costs of the application process in advance must also be taken into account. Furthermore, a suitable in-house infrastructure is essential.
Outsourcing
Services previously provided within a company itself are outsourced to external providers.
There are many benefits to outsourcing software development. One of the key reasons is that it can reduce hiring costs and infrastructure expenses, which in turn will free up funds for other purposes. On the other hand, there is less control over remote teams in an external company, which can lead to poor quality.
Let’s look at the benefits and downsides of both in-house and outsourced software development.
In-House Software Development: Benefits
Project Know-How
Your in-house development team has the expertise that will complement the specific technologies you use and they can even train employees on a particular approach or skill set if needed.
You can even train your in-house professionals for a specific project-related approach and set of skills.
With in-house hiring, your organization can become error-free and even offer direct support for your clients. These professionals also have enough experience in order to give direct support to clients as there is only one touchpoint available: your organization itself. Sustaining these employees can be difficult, which is why tools for employer engagement are required.
Immediate Changes
When you have an in-house team, you can adjust quick changes on-site with one-on-one communication. Rapid changes require proper coordination of resources even if in-house development is used.
To ensure higher productivity, for example, you must have adequate communication tools in place.
Collaboration on a broader scale
When you develop your software in-house, your team can work in sync with each other. Think about updating content on the fly, which requires the collaboration of content creators, designers, and developers in order to provide the best user experience possible
In-house Software Development: Downsides
Higher Costs
There are many different expenses that can occur, such as employee training and collaborative tools for teams to use on projects; additionally, you might need project management tools too! In some cases, it could be more costly than working with a vendor due to delays caused by worker’s absences or other factors beyond their control.
Less Focus
Motivation is the key to productivity. For employers on a normal payroll, it’s harder for them to stay engaged with what they do, day after day. That’s why a company must find ways of motivating its workforce, for example by using incentives and other perks. This is not the case when working with an offshore team.
You rely on the vendor to take care of all aspects of developing your project so you don’t need to worry about its execution.
Insufficient Skill Set
In-house software development is not flexible due to the lack of multiple skills at one time.
Let’s take the example of building a product where different programming languages are needed. The backend is developed using Node+ and the front end is built on Vue.Js — you will need two entirely separate teams for this project. Not only does it increase your costs, but also makes the process more difficult by requiring new hires that are not already familiarized in both technologies’ insides.
When should in-house software development be used?
The proper resources
In order to meet the demands, you need a team that is capable and committed. An in-house software development team may have up to six or more professionals on board: senior engineers; product managers (PMs); developers, UX/UI designers/architects, and Quality managers.
Important to know: Hiring highly skilled and experienced professionals is not a one-time investment. You must be willing to invest time and money in these employees for the long term.
Full Control
A good way to retain control over software development would be to hire an internal team for at least the development of the core product. Additional work could be outsourced to increase effectiveness.
Data Safety
In-house development is a great option for companies that want to maintain control over their data. Example: If you’re working on breakthrough innovation, it may be better to keep certain data close at hand. However, if you supplement your internal team with a well-planned outsourcing strategy, you can increase your productivity and limit your risks.
Outsourcing Software Development: Benefits
Increased Efficiency
You can have an in-house team that works with the outsourcing company to maximize productivity and focus on your core product. With this collaboration, you’re assured of higher efficiency as well as of building a better product.
Competitive Advantage
When the development team at our company is extended, you have more resources available for creating customized software tailored specifically to your client’s needs.
The primary difference between custom and off-the-shelf software is that with a customized version, you can create your own unique features for users. While off-the-shelf software appeals to a wide range of users, the components are all the same.
Risk Reduction
Launching a half-baked product is the most significant risk with software development. But by outsourcing your project, you can leverage MVP or Minimum Viable Product. An MVP is a deliverable product with the most fundamental features.
It is an excellent way to reduce risks by implementing user feedback into subsequent iterations.
Nearshoring capabilities
Homeshoring, nearshoring, on- and offshoring: it is all about finding a vendor close by, maybe in the same region or the same country. With Nearshoring, you can choose a partner in nearby countries or even just the region near your headquarters. While offshore outsourcing requires the complete transfer of project responsibility to another country.
Because it reduces time zone differences between you and your vendor, nearshoring can be beneficial for your software development projects.
Cost efficiency
The cost of software development is a major reason why companies choose to outsource, 70% of companies choose this option as a cost-cutting opportunity.
When you outsource, the cost of hiring top-tier talent or even infrastructure is carried by your vendor. With a fixed price package, it’s easy to set a reasonable budget that meets all of your project’s needs.
Outsourcing Development: Downsides
Task Management Communication
You’ll need some reliable task tracking tools and communication methods so your remote team is able to work effectively together. However, the fact that you must invest in such tools is a disadvantage of outsourcing.
Aside from the usual issues of time zone differences and network issues, cultural differences can be a potential communication barrier.
Other considerations to bear in mind are:
Accents
Dialects
Technical interferences
Security Concerns
If you are sharing sensitive data with a vendor for a project, it is critical that your security measures are robust. The type of infrastructure required can accrue huge costs.
When is it relevant to use Outsourcing?
Improper hiring resources
Consider outsourcing when you don’t have enough hiring resources or don’t want to spend too much money on recruitment. Even if you consider hiring freelancers, controlling remote developers for productivity is difficult, which is why an outsourcing agency maybe your best option.
Fast Lane Development
With the outsourcing of software development, you can ensure a bug-free product in record time. Many firms offer an agile approach for rapid production and incremental iterations that will not only save money but time.
Various Technologies
When you are working with a diverse range of technologies for the same software, outsourcing can provide a wide range of skill sets. For example, when you employ a variety of frameworks in both your frontend and backend programming.
This will require the hiring of developers with a variety of skill sets.
In-house vs. Outsourcing: What is the cost difference?
Costs of In-house Development
The decision between in-house development and outsourcing will depend on the budget. If you have a limited amount of money available, then hiring employees for your company is going to be difficult.
Costs that come with in-house development include recruitment, infrastructure, task management tools, employee training, and other expenses.
The problem starts when you start adding in all the additional costs. Each software license needs certification and taxation; off-the-shelf or custom-made.
The licensing costs are fully funded by taxes and other mandatory fees. Aside from these costs, the company’s cost or CTC for each employee is significantly higher than for an outsourced project.
Costs: Outsourced Development
When you decide to outsource, the development cost is frequently derived from three major engagements.
1. Time and Material Commitment:
You provide the time and material for your entire project, but this means that you are also in charge of everything else — task management to project coordination, and so on.
2. Dedicated Team Involvement
In this case, a dedicated team takes full responsibility for the project and manages it.
3. Fixed Price Package
A fixed price package is typically used for short-term projects that involve multiple freelancers or collaborators.
The developer’s fee is usually what drives the cost of outsourcing for most projects. Developers charge on an hourly basis, so you can expect to pay more if your project lasts longer
Hourly rates of developers or teams vary based on demographics. Then there is the consideration of experience levels, from senior to middle level to junior level; such a three-tiered system was created with the different experiences in mind.
A few examples:
United States: $39,000 per year — junior, $95,973 — middle, $200,000 — senior.
United Kingdom: $34,828 per year — junior, $65,454 — middle, $149,799 — senior.
Poland: $12,900 per year — junior, $30,000 — middle, $60,144— senior.
Ukraine: $8,000 per year — junior, $15,000 — middle, $34,000 — senior.
Sources: Glassdoor, Indeed, and Payscale
Planning your software development is essential for the success of a project. The best practice is to get all necessary information on the list and choose wisely between in-house vs outsourced teams. Utilize factors like your own budget, the required time frame, pros and cons.

Money can buy you more time to do things that matter to you

Money can buy you more time to do things that matter to you Shweta Follow Dec 17, 2021 · 2 min read
Photo by Ricardo Díaz on Unsplash
If you want more time to do your own thing, use money to outsource some of your work to people or tools. Yes, tool too!
And no, this is no affiliate promotion. It’s just that tools have made my life much easier and I want the same for you.
For instance,
If designing social media posts or resizing them for different channels takes up lots of time, sign up for pro version of the tool you are using. Canva made all this so much easy for me. You have a superbusy week leading up to the product launch event. Can you ask your cleaning lady to cook dinner for you for the next 3 days? That’s at least 4–5 hours saved. You want to go on a short vacation but your social media lead gen has just picked up. If you pause now that would amount to loss in income. What to do? Simple. Sign up for a social media management tool like Buffer or Hootsuite. You have taken on new clients and your monthly accounts is taking up lots of time. What to do? Easy peasy. Hire an accountant to do it for you.
But when should you decide to outsource some work to free up some time?
Couple of scenarios can play out here.
One, you hate the job and cannot do it yourself. In that case you have no option but to outsource.
Two, you feel that you can earn more in the same time. For example, if your hourly rate is $75, and you hire an accountant at $40/hr, you are increasing your income while getting rid of work that has nothing to do with your core skills.
Three, you want some free time for yourself because you are neck-deep in projects. That’s a good place to be in income-wise but you need to take care of yourself too.
And you know, you will feel much happier when you are doing something more interesting or spending leisure time.

A Look At Medical Billing Profits In 2021. Who Earned & Who Suffered?
|
The healthcare business is continuously changing. How hospitals and health systems respond to these changes can make all the difference in their ability to maintain a healthy bottom line and continue serving their communities.
The factors that will drive revenue cycle market momentum in 2022 and beyond are technology, investments, efficiency, patient experience, underpayment recovery, and coding automation.
We are witnessing a new surge of consolidation, inventiveness, and innovation following a lengthy period of struggle due to COVID-19 and an already challenging economic situation for hospitals and healthcare organizations.
Here are some critical medical billing statistics –
75% of patients are searching up the cost of medical treatments online.
62% of patients said knowing their out-of-pocket expenditures beforehand of service impacts the possibility of pursuing care.
49% of patients said having accurate information on expected out-of-pocket costs before receiving treatment affects their decision to use a healthcare provider.
According to a new study, patients’ average out-of-pocket expenses increased by 11% in 2017, advancing from $1,630 in 2016 to $1,813 in 2017. The analysis also showed that in 2017, on average, 49% of patient out-of-pocket expenses per healthcare consultation were below $500, 39% were $501-$1,000, and 12% were more than $1,000. In addition, the entire hospital revenue of patient financial responsibility after insurance rose 88 percent between 2012 and 2017.
69% have a budget process that takes over three months from initial implementation to board presentation (the methodology takes more than six months for 9% of these institutions)
41% use rolling forecasts to supplement or to substitute an annual financial plan (31% have plans to implement rolling forecasts)
50%+ CFOs want access to more straightforward report creation, better dashboards and visuals, and enhanced ability to delve into reports to understand innate details (2/3 struggle to pull data from multiple resources).
If you have an in-house medical billing team or are looking for help in a specific area of expertise, we at 24/7 Medical Billing Services are here to assist you. We recognize the hectic schedules of medical professionals and services, which is why we are committed to taking on duties to assist you in maintaining a healthy work-life balance.
COVID-19 pandemic has altered the dynamics of the healthcare industry; here are some highlights of who is profiting and who is losing on margins:
Omnichannel payments are impacting healthcare.
68% of consumers prefer electronic payment methods to pay their medical bills
80% of consumers prefer online payment channels to pay their health plan premiums
20% of online healthcare payments are made on a mobile device
Healthcare data is under attack.
2016 saw more healthcare data violations and breaches than any other year on record
90% of providers report that payment security is critical when collecting patient payments
59% of consumers have significant concerns regarding the security of making payments for both their medical bills and health plan premiums
Consumers are demanding more from healthcare.
92% of consumers want to know payment responsibility before a provider visit
74% of consumers are confused by EOBs and medical bills
73% of providers report that it takes one month or longer to collect from patients
Let’s look at 2021 profit earners who benefited from the pandemic and earned the top spot in the latest trends –
According to forecasts, the medical billing outsourcing market will reach almost $16.9 billion in 2021. As a result, many significant business groupings, including healthcare software businesses and other companies that service the healthcare industry somehow, are invited to participate in the multibillion-dollar merger. Regardless, many organizations adopt an offshore business strategy through captive centers or partnerships, either directly or indirectly.
Most healthcare professionals are willing to outsource their revenue cycle management services because of the ability to maintain and circumvent changes in healthcare revenue payment regulations and the ability to hire and train office staff; compliance issues, in addition to operational factors, are too risky.
There will be an increase or growth in regulatory compliance as patient responsibility increases. Therefore, medical billing businesses should take on the task of acquiring the ability to detect and remedy revenue leakage.
It generates and gives the optimum performance ecology using KPI, essential in revenue cycle management. Medical billing trends for 2021 aim to build a strong path for revenue reimbursements while also encouraging collections service.
Let’s take a look at the processes that suffered in 2021 –
By the end of 2021, according to Kaufman Hall, hospital operating margins will have fallen by 80% from pre-pandemic levels. With hospitals operating on razor-thin margins, forecasting cash flow and the ability to maximize revenue cycle efficiency is more important than ever. As revenue cycle executives and managers strive to improve business outcomes, key technological and process innovation will be driven.
Finally, Some Key Takeaways:
Reduced patient appointments and walk-ins due to apprehensions of catching COVID-19 in the waiting room cause lower patient service revenue in medical practices.
It makes sense to outsource medical billing services to a third party if you compute a higher flow of revenue by leaving the task to experts.
to a third party if you compute a higher flow of revenue by leaving the task to experts. While it can cost more for Revenue Cycle Management Outsourcing than for the work in-house, the more increased success rates on insurance claims offset the higher fees.
than for the work in-house, the more increased success rates on insurance claims offset the higher fees. Healthcare organizations can concentrate on their core competencies to deliver high-quality healthcare by taking their billing functions beyond the office to third parties.
The conclusion regarding whether to outsource your healthcare billing services to a third party deserves careful consideration.

Relocating in Central European countries : Nearshoring and outsourcing inside the European Union through the example of Poland
|
Pawel de la Bassetière, MS. Economy, review
Outsourcing within the EU has proved to be one of the shifts that has had the largest impacts on the European Union’s economy in recent decades. This took many different forms and evolved with time, but is overall an increasing trend, especially observed in the service sector.
This transition has been facilitated by technological changes, particularly in information and communication technologies, which enabled companies to codify and transfer information and knowledge on a continental scale. Market deregulation and trade liberalisation, including recent EU measures, may have contributed to this phenomenon, though the globalisation of services providing precedes any EU measure. Sometimes assimilated to bestshoring and job delocalisation, in-EU outsourcing and offshoring landscape is often more complicated, as the work is often shared across multiple countries. A classic example can be found in the automobile industry: Czechia and Slovakia have been for over 80 years partners of the German automobile industry.
Outsourcing and offshoring are practises that are related in many ways, and which are used by companies for similar goals. Their meanings are however often confused:
— outsourcing describes a labour management technique that consists in relocating some of a company’s assets, capital, or activities to another company, generally in another country. By outsourcing, a given firm can use the potential and savoir-faire of other companies in different countries while benefiting from several significant advantages, especially in terms of reduction of labour costs. This system of relocation allows for the facilitation of the employment of skilled workers via a job provider in a foreign country. In other words, outsourcing is a form a subcontracting which consists in removing a particular activity from the company and hiring external services (such as the increasingly widespread use of Information Technology in countries with lower wages and highly qualified workforce)-
— By contrast, a company that chooses to offshore only relocates its own industry in a foreign country. Offshoring involves keeping this activity inside the company, while shifting it to a country which offers advantages such as lower labour costs. Offshoring is most often characterised by a company taking the decision to close an industry in its own (home) country to open it in a foreign (host) country. Offshoring can be linked to delocalisation,
The decisions for a company to offshore or to outsource are both driven by a main objective: reducing costs. Additionally, outsourcing is always justified by host countries advantages such as the high specialisation of the subcontractor which guarantees high quality while allowing the company to focus and specialise on other sectors.
Between 2003 and 2016, the geographical distribution of offshoring within the European Union shows a clear pattern of movement: predominantly, Western European countries significantly tend to offshore to Eastern countries, whereas the opposite is much rarer. The research problem of this study thus lies in the following questions: why are Central and Eastern Europe chosen as host regions for offshoring? What are the structural and economic reasons pushing companies of Western countries to move there, and particularly to Poland? What are the sectors concerned by this phenomenon?
In order to answer this question, we will focus on Poland. While Poland is not by a long shot the country where people invest more (Hungary and Czechia, on a pro-capita base are considered for investors a better choice), it keeps being a very interesting subject, especially in terms of diversification.
1. Problematics with quantifying offshoring
According to the traditional theories of international traderelocation is thus part of a normal process that is beneficial to growth overall. Location choices are made on the basis of a rational calculation, according to the factor endowments available in the areas concerned. Firms in developed countries are thus led to relocate low-tech production that has reached maturity. With little innovation, developing countries take over these products while developed countries, continuing to innovate, have an advantage in specialising in the production of goods with higher added value. Reciprocal specialisation thus allows an exchange that is beneficial to all partners. This effect, known as “substitution/compensation”, occurs over time: in the short term, relocations lead to the destruction of low-skilled jobs at local level (certain regions) in the country of origin, but these losses are compensated for at macro level (country) in the longer term because the improvement in the competitiveness of companies leads to an increase in market share and the creation of new, more skilled jobs. Offshoring is thus a normal part of a globalised economy and, according to OECD (2007) studies, this pattern is empirically verified.
There is no need to recall how vague the notion of offshoring is and how difficult it is to measure, both in hosting and offshored countries : the problem is classically studied in the French School of Economics (Arthuis, 2005; Aubert and Sillard, 2005; Bouba-Olga, 2006; Mouhoud, 2006). Quantification requires the identification of the phenomenon and the only identifiable (and therefore measured! ) offshoring processes are those that answer to the definition stricto sensu. The strict definition consider that there is offshoring if a ‘foreign’ production area is totally substituted by a country national production area: offshoring is defined as the closure of a production unit on national territory followed by its reopening abroad, with a view to re-importing the goods produced on national territory and/or continuing to supply the export markets from this location (Fontagné and Lorenzi, 2005). It is not the purpose of this paper to point out that this view underestimates the phenomenon by going into the details of the biases inherent in each measurement attempt (Chanteau, 2008; Coris and alii, 2010) and that, consequently, policy recommendations and measures should not be based exclusively on this quantification. The OECD (2007) itself insists that ‘in the absence of a systematic survey of offshoring, no measurement attempt can provide a satisfactory understanding of the phenomenon’. The lack of measurement tells us nothing, either way, about the interplay of the substitution effect. Earliest studies from the ’90 on the Tech Industry were brought on extremely complicated models that it is not our subject to discuss here. It is important however to underline that a few key indicators where set apart and presented as relevant.
1.1 Main indicator : Foreign Direct investment
A good indicator of the evolution of offshoring through time is the Foreign Direct Investment of a country, which refers to the international movements of capital made for the purpose of creating, developing, or maintaining a subsidiary abroad.
Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, the 6 EU countries that used to be part of the Warsaw Pact (Romania, Poland, Bulgaria, Czechia, Slovakia, and Hungary) have considerably evolved in their economic structure and production. Their entry in the European Union has accelerated the development of their infrastructures, reducing year after year the gap that they had with Western Europe. This development of infrastructure and political stability allowed for investors from more developed European countries to focus on this region, as those factors are crucial for acquiring the trust of investors from abroad.
The FDI is a driving force of the internationalisation of companies, and covers, among others, the creation of subsidiaries abroad as well as acquisitions, (including intra-group loans and borrowings).
Since the fall of the communist regime and the radical economic liberalisation reforms of 1990, Poland has quickly become a privileged destination in the CEEC zone (Central and Eastern European countries) for foreign investors. In 2019, this Central European Slavic country was the country benefiting from the second highest FDI inflow (15,973,000,000 thousands of USD). In this study, we will analyse the nature of those various forms of relocations in Poland, as well as the factors influencing them. In terms of net inflows in the CEE region, Poland (15,973,000 thousands of USD) is preceded only by Hungary (32,049,970 thousands of USD), and is ahead of the Czech Republic (9,332,858,000 thousands of USD), Romania (6,911,103 thousands of USD), Estonia (2,962,634,000 thousands of USD), Slovakia (2,312,686,000 thousands of USD).

Source: Foreign Direct Investment in Poland from 1996 to 2019, in EUR Million https://tradingeconomics.com/poland/foreign-direct-investment
As seen on the graph above, FDI in Poland has almost continually increased since 1996, at a faster rate than general inflation. FDI in 2019 (EUR 209504.80M) has been multiplied by 22,7 times since 1996 (EUR 9228.20M). Since the fall of communism in Poland, the country has become increasingly attractive for foreign investors. This can be explained, among others, by the much lower costs of labour (almost 2,7 times lower than the EU average in 2019).

1.2 From Western Europe to Eastern Europe
Offshoring operates essentially from the West to the East — from the “Europe of the Fifteen” (the 15 states that were part of the EU after the 1995 enlargement of the European Union: Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Denmark, Ireland, United Kingdom, Greece, Spain, Portugal, Austria, Finland, Sweden) towards the Member States that joined after the 2004 enlargement of the European Union (Poland, Czech Republic, Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Slovenia, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Malta). Indeed, when a factory leaves one of the countries in the EU15 group to be relocated, in 44.8% of cases it is an EU13 country that is chosen as the destination (compared to 18,2% of the cases towards a EU15 country).
This clusters very well when we focus on the number of enterprises with foreign capital participation in Poland. The number of enterprises has been multiplied by 1,82 from 2000 to 2020, while the value of foreign equity of undertakings with foreign equity participation has been multiplied by 3,127 (from PLN 65 213,3M in 2000 to PLN 203 897,8M in 2015). This indicates a constantly increasing interest in Poland by foreign investors.
1.3 IT outsourcing
Information Technology is an increasingly relevant sector to focus on when analysing relocations in the European Union. Indeed, EU companies outsource in average 20% of their IT processes, and most of them plan to increase this share, mostly to become more competitive. This can be quantified by assessing the market revenue in this sector, which is constantly growing since 2016 (from $93.12 billion in 2016 to $103.9 billion in 2021. According to the annual study published by in4ma in 2016, 50.3% of the European production value of electronics subcontractors was carried out in Eastern European countries, compared to 49.7% in Western Europe. In addition, a study conducted by Wojciech Piotrowicz and Damian Kedziora in 2018 shows that Poland holds a position of leader in the CEE region in terms of outsourcing of Information technology, being the “second largest remote services delivery hub in Europe”.
Polish developers are among the best in the world, obtaining the 3rd place in the Hackerrank ranking, and the 5th place in the top coder ranking. Moreover, the country’s socio-economic stability and constant development as well as its EU membership make international companies feel secure for outsourcing there.
Furthermore, With the increasing significance of IT services in the functionality of companies, the greatest current challenge is the improvement of IT services and their elasticity. Considering the growing competition, lowering the costs of IT services is one of the objectives of companies, and Poland seems to offer a unique comparative advantage in this sector.
2. Factors and criteria leading foreign actors to relocate in Poland
Empirical evidence has shown that the political and institutional factors of a country are highly decisive when it comes to Foreign Direct Investment, as they create a general environment which can be either favourable or inclement for businesses. When investing abroad, a company is highly inclined to evaluate criteria such as GDP etc
2.1. GDP Growth: the Polish Green Island
Fig.1: GDP growth rate of Poland from 1990 to 2019
Source: https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GDP.MKTP.KD.ZG?locations=PL
Before the 2020 COVID pandemic, Poland had never known a growth rate inferior to 1,12% since 1992. This country is known as the European “Green island”, as it does not seem to endure crises: it has stood out in the European Union by “surviving” the 2007–2008 subprime crisis. Indeed, in 2009, when the EU was facing a very deep recession, Poland was the only one to see its economy grow. (2,83% growth rate in 2009). Overall, the Polish GDP has grown by 7 times since 1990, making it the largest growth among OECD countries.
2.2. Cost of labour
Fig.4. Estimated labour costs per hour (2019)
Source: Eurostat (online data code: lc_lci_lev)
According to fig.5, Poland has one of the lowest costs of labour in the European Union. Employing a worker in Poland costs in average 10,7 euros, which is almost 4 times lower than in Belgium (40,5) and France (36,6). This is mainly explained by low taxation and lower GDP per capita, which allow for a substantially lower hourly cost.
2.3. Quality of the Workforce
Foreign firms look for countries of destination where the workforce is skilled and has at least an average level of education. The quality of the local workforce is essential for foreign investors who recruit their future employees in a host country. (source : EVIAN) A workforce with good basic knowledge will be easier to train and will reach maximum productivity more quickly than a less educated workforce. Labour costs and labour productivity are essential ingredients for the competitiveness of products on the international market.
Compared to other countries with similar GDP, Poland has a very qualified workforce. In 2018, 44% of young Polish people had completed higher education. Among those who have completed their studies, most of them speak at least one foreign language, with English being the most popular. Poland has the 11th best English proficiency level in non-English speaking countries with 62% of the population having knowledge of English, placing it at the same rank as Switzerland.
2.4. Infrastructures
The level of infrastructure in the host country (roads, ports, airports, telecommunications networks, as well as cost and availability of energy) have a crucial impact on the cost and efficiency of production and transport services. In order to attract foreign investment, host countries must ensure that their infrastructures are modern and, above all, properly functioning. Whatever may be a country’s assets in terms of investment, it will have difficulty attracting investors if its infrastructures are inefficient. Poland’s LPI index of “quality of trade and transport related infrastructures” is 3.21, placing it above Iceland (3.17) and Estonia (3,10). According to the European Commission, Poland’s Infrastructure’s score is close to the EU average in terms of efficiency of air transport services, and even surpasses the average when it comes to timeliness of shipments.
Furthermore, the future developments of the Polish infrastructures look very promising, as the European Fund for Strategic Investments (EFSI) amounted to €4.4 billion in September 2020, with as many as 65 approved projects financed by the European Investment Bank (EIB). However, the geographical disparities of infrastructures in Poland are particularly large, the Western Voivodeships being far more developed than the East, notably in terms of quality roads and train rails.
This is why the Polish Government announced that it would invest PLN 16 bln zloty (around EUR 3,5 bln) in the railways of the Eastern regions, in order to reduce development gaps between Voivodeships and harmonise the interregional transportation. Poland’s infrastructures generally seem to develop very quickly, which is bound to further reassure investors.
2.5. Geography
Poland’s central geographical position is very advantageous: it makes it a crossroad between the West and the East of Europe, which allows Western companies a potential expansion in Asia. Moreover, there are more than 250 million potential consumers within a radius of 1,000 km around Poland.
2.6. Political stability
This is a fundamental aspect of the investment decision. For fear of incurring heavy losses, investors will refuse to risk their capital in an environment they consider unstable. On the other hand, in a stable political environment, they are confident that the “rules of the game” or legislation governing their investments and the markets in which they operate will remain more or less unchanged for a relatively long period of time. Poland’s Political stability index is of 0,52, placing Poland at the same rank as the United Kingdom, and above Belgium (0,48), and France (0,31). More importantly, Poland’s well-diversified economy and relative food auto-sufficiency reduces its vulnerability to external shocks, in spite of the fact that it relies heavily on the EU as an export market.
2.7. Favourable government measures
Within the framework of its regional development, Poland opted in 1994 for a special tool to attract new foreign investors: Special Economic Zones (SEZs), which are parts of the Polish territory in which businesses can benefit from positive deregulations.

How outsourcing is killing Cluj
|
Some people might say that I’m a hypocrite for writing this article and some might say that I’m wrong, or that I exaggerate things. The focus of this article is to raise awareness about potential problems that we are facing as a community, so I am sorry in advance if I offend anyone or if anyone feels that my opinion is dead wrong. It is still my side of the story and I’m sure that I will find enough people who support my ideas.
The IT industry in Cluj is built around the business of outsourcing. Almost all major companies are outsourcing companies and most of the fast emerging companies in the last 2–3 years are also outsourcing companies. There are some companies that are branded as “product companies” because the employees work directly on the products that those companies sell, but in 100% of the cases, the “product company” is a foreign company who decided to invest into a development centre in Cluj, well because it’s cheaper… so how is that fundamentally different than outsourcing? I’m not here to criticise only the business of outsourcing itself. Whenever I talk about people working in outsourcing I am referring to 99% of the market share in Cluj, including pure outsourcing companies, nearshore companies, product companies or freelancers. Basically all the IT people that offer their services to some company outside Cluj.
I am born and raised in Cluj and I’ve seen this IT ecosystem basically spin off and grow in the last 5–10 years. This is clearly visible in our city and I’m proud to say that the industry that I’m working in helped revive the economy of a city that had a very bad reputation before 2004. So obviously I don’t deny the huge benefits that we’ve had in the past 10 years. The problem is that the same industry, which raised the economy and created a lot of job opportunities for young people, is unable to adapt to change and is unable to think on the long term. I don’t want to get into stereotypes, but we do live in a bubble.
The two signs of the apocalypse
There are two major problems with the current IT scene in Cluj. And they are deeply related, which is why we have this vicious circle that forms the “bubble”. In a previous article, I wrote about this illusion of comparing Cluj with Silicon Valley. Like I mentioned before, there is a big gap in the mindset of the IT professionals in Cluj. And this is the first problem I am referring to. Most of the people are oriented towards execution and process, but they lack the product development mindset. So when facing this, companies that sadly are only interested in their immediate profits see outsourcing as the better option. And in outsourcing, the only profitable business model is to grow.
These are not the developers you are looking for
Here comes the second problem, which is the ratio between senior developers and junior developers. Now you might say this will be fixed as time goes by because the vast majority of juniors from today will be seniors in 5–10 years. That’s just wrong, because a senior level has nothing to do with the years of experience and the ratio I’m talking about is actually between quality vs average professionals. And I truly believe that the ratio is going down, because the talent pool is simply not big enough for the growth of the outsourcing companies.
Of course there are more seniors today than let’s say 5 years ago, but on the other hand there are maybe 10 times as many average professionals that were driven into this industry mainly by the money benefits and by the fact that the industry itself needs to be oriented towards multiple and different talent pools. And I’m not even going to focus on the education problem, because I plan on writing a full article on that. The bottom line is that while the industry needs a few thousand new people each year, the universities produce much less than that, even if we’re omitting the fact that a good chunk of the students coming out of universities today are just not talented enough, and the companies are constantly looking to bring people from other industries, teach them to write a few lines of code and sell them to their customers as “seasoned developers”.
Who is driving your business?
Let’s get back to the main point of this article. Why do I consider that outsourcing is killing Cluj? Because on the long run, you will see this process accelerate. More companies will start growing out of control, more people will be driven in this field and the quality people, the talented developers will remain constant, or best case scenario, their number will grow at a slow and steady pace. So as companies get bigger, the difference between success and failure will dramatically be affected by how many good people you have that can lead your teams towards success. While you may think that 1 good developer is enough for a 5 people team, or if you’re mad enough and think that the ratio should be 1/10, I think the ratio should be without exception over 50%. If you have one good developer mentoring a beginner / junior, you have the odds on your side. Mentoring more people is simply not sustainable.
Think a bit about who are actually the key players in your company? Are they maybe exactly those quality people that very often the company fails to attain? Have you ever wondered why quality people leave your company?
Choking the few
You would imagine that if these people are important for the companies, the companies will go to extra lengths to keep them. Sometimes they do, but the extra length usually only involves adding some numbers to the pay check. On the other hand, people that are passionate about their job usually care more about the projects they work on, the career path that a company offers, the possibilities of attending conferences and other events, etc.
Surprisingly enough, the companies seem to be very ignorant of this problem. Most of the focus of trainings is usually in the junior/internship areas, very few companies get involved in organizing events for the community, they don’t support meetups or any other activities that are usually of interest for the passionate developers.
I really wonder how many company managers actually think about why people are leaving their companies. Do they always blame the fact that the person leaving got more money from another company? I think that quality people can be loyal to companies and most of the times they are. But the companies are choking them with responsibilities they don’t want, like training juniors, managing teams, checking reports, writing documentation, working extra hours and so on. On the other hand, they don’t focus on the personal development of these senior level employees, like I mentioned before. This is how you kill passionate people, quality people, people that are loyal to your company. And with the ratio between seniors and juniors going down, you can expect the companies trying to squeeze even more out of their quality people in the next years.
Future Prospects
This sounds very grim and I did mention at the beginning that I may be tagged as a hypocrite for this. Yes, we do work in an industry which pays in average 5 times better than any other industry, but does this mean that we need to ignore these facts that I mentioned and just continue working like we did before hoping that things will get better? How much longer do you think it will take until companies will start losing projects because of the low quality work that they deliver? When the employees are just average developers, how do you differentiate yourself from the other outsourcing markets?
I once met a guy that worked at a big company in Cluj and he was bragging about the fact that he got hired, got a big pay check and pretty much rubs the mint all day and waits for his money. And this case is not singular. Whenever I hear about guys like these, I am mad, because I know that the companies that are hiring them can do much better things with that money, but they just insist on growing and getting more and more contracts.
The truth is that the average employees (and I’m talking about the vast majority now) are lethargic and care mostly about the money or the other benefits that a company offers. I had several discussions with HR Managers from Cluj and they all basically confirmed my theory that the average developer is more interested in the fact that the company has a pool table in their office than in the projects on which he will work.
If you think I’m just full of shit, feel free to read Frederic Lasnier’s (CEO of Pentalog) opinion on the Romanian engineering market, from a different perspective, but underlining the same problems.
What can we do?
Sadly, there aren’t many things we can do as individuals. This problem needs to be solved at a community / industry level. One good start is for companies to understand that growth is not sustainable in this context. In Orchestrated Knowledge, Peter Leeson says that his standard answer to companies that are talking about the lack of resources is:
You have enough resources, the problem is that you have too much work.
Like he says, there comes a time when companies need to learn to say NO to their customers. Another thing that companies need to start doing is caring more about employee engagement and retention. And I’m not talking about all the employees, I’m talking about the key people in the organization, the quality people, based on what I wrote before. My simple answer to why the quality people are leaving a company is that they are interested in making software, companies on the other hand are interested in making money. When the companies in Cluj will start understanding that they should at least partially be involved in making software and not money, then we will be able to start fixing the problems that we have today. Then we will be able to shift a bit more towards the product development mindset and only then we can slow down this growth process and focus more on quality as opposed to quantity.

What is outsourcing, and how the accounting and finance sectors are benefiting from it
|
What is outsourcing?
Simply put, outsourcing is the process wherein an organization allots one of its services or functional aspects to a third-party. In the context of accounting and finance, outsourcing might entail farming out a specific lot of work, or an entire function like bookkeeping, preparation of tax, payroll and audit work papers, and much more. Usually, companies tend to outsource aspects of their work which are essentially ancillary. That way, they’re able to allocate their focus on core tasks.
Companies can outsource IT services onshore, nearshore, or offshore. Traditionally, nearshore and offshore outsourcing have been preferred as by token of foreign exchange ratios, companies tend to save costs.
The benefits of outsourcing vary depending on the situation, but they typically include one or more of the following:
Improved productivity
Increased focus on strategy/core competencies
Variable capacity
Having access to certain abilities or resources
Improved adaptability to shifting business and commercial circumstances
Shorter time to market
Shorter time to market Lower continuing internal infrastructure investment
Access to intellectual property, innovation, and thought leadership
The possibility of a financial infusion as a result of the asset transfer to the new supplier
Cost savings (due to economies of scale or lower labor rates)
Some of the risks associated with outsourcing are as follows:
A longer turn-around time
A lack of business or subject expertise
Language and cultural hurdles
Variations in time zones
A lack of control
Outsourcing services
BPO stands for business process outsourcing and refers to the outsourcing of a specific business process operation, such as payroll. Back-office BPO, which comprises internal corporate tasks like accounts finalisation or purchasing, and front-office BPO, which includes customer-related services like marketing or tech support, are sometimes separated into two groups.
While most business process outsourcing entails a company’s standardized operations being executed, knowledge process outsourcing (KPO) entails processes requiring advanced research, analytical, technical, and decision-making skills, such as pharmaceutical research and development or patent research.
Accounting outsourcing falls in the category of back-office BPO, and usually the BPO firm in question possesses specialised professionals who have the right attributes to get the job done. Often, the KPO aspect of things, such as when a firm outsources auditing duties, goes hand-in-hand with the aforementioned aspect since they are supplementary to each other.
Outsourced Accounting Functions
Outsourced accounting tasks have traditionally involved outsourcing of tasks such as bookkeeping, account finalisation and taxation, SMSF Compliance, and Payroll services. Owing to the technological advantages that outsourcing companies possess, they tend to have an easy time allocating and delivering their work on time given the connectivity revolution that’s been undergoing in the world of internet.
In today’s cloud-enabled world, however, accounting outsourcing can also include relationships with providers of software such as XERO and Quickbooks, two of the more popular pioneers in the current market sphere. In fact, cloud services account for a large chunk of the accounting market, and given the migration and management of data on these platforms being in vogue, outsourcing companies have quickly played catch up. Outsourced accounting companies now have specialist accountants who have experience working with cloud-based accounting software. All in all, it is pretty much deemed the standard when it comes to day-to-day accounting operations these days and has been embraced globally.
Outsourced accounting pricing models
The type of service provided usually determines the right model for an accounting firm. Most outsourcing contracts have traditionally been billed on a fixed-price basis. However, considering that back-office accounting services have now evolved to the point that they are able to perform more than quarter of the legwork a firm would otherwise have to perform, long-term contracts with the onus of aligned scalability is not unheard of in the context of accounting outsourcing.
Conventional ways in which the pricing model is structured:
Time and materials: As the name implies, the client pays the provider according to the amount of time and paperwork required to perform the job. For tasks like accounting finalisation, the firms usually outsource their processes for the long-term so that they can build up to this particular moment and not have to worry about falling short of compliance when tax season comes around. This strategy might be effective in situations where estimating scope and specifications is challenging or where needs change often, usually on a seasonal basis.
Unit/on-demand pricing: The outsourced accounting company sets a fixed charge for a specific level of service, and the client pays according to how much of that service they use. If you’re outsourcing bookkeeping, for example, the customer may pay a set fee based on whether you avail the service hourly or opt to get a dedicated bookkeeping professional. Hourly pricing can boost productivity right away and makes analyzing and adjusting component costs a breeze. It does, however, necessitate a precise forecast of demand volume as well as a commitment to a particular minimum work volume.
Fixed pricing: The price of the deal is set up front. When the criteria, objectives, and scope are steady and clear, this paradigm can function well. It can be enticing to pay a fixed amount for outsourced accounting services since it makes costs predictable. It can be beneficial, but when market pricing falls over time (as it frequently does), a fixed price remains fixed. Fixed pricing is particularly difficult for the service providers, who must meet service levels at a set price regardless of how many resources such services require.
Variable pricing: At the low end of an outsourced accounting company’s service, the client pays a fixed fee, but this strategy allows for some cost variation dependent on offering higher levels of service.
Outsourcing and Jobs
Oftentimes, outsourcing and offshoring are terms which are used interchangeably. However, offshoring is merely a subset of outsourcing. Public debate has been fairly heated, since it is widely believed that companies are taking advantage of lower labor costs in the country where the partner company is based. This is a rather simplistic view on things though, since outsourcing certain aspects of one’s accounting practice merely entails a move away from the number-crunching to focus on management and business expansion activities, which gives the core team of that particular firm an opportunity to ascend themselves from seemingly manual tasks to assume bigger roles involving leadership.

How to Successfully Outsource Technical Support
|
When running a small business, you may be taking care of almost everything related to your business. Along with that, providing professional technical support may not be possible. Besides, even if you offer technical support on your own, you may end up spending time and resources that you could otherwise use to develop your business. And if you are planning to set up an in-house team, it can be costly. The solution to all these problems is outsourcing. When you outsource technical support or web hosting support services you get experts at your disposal at an affordable price. So how do you outsource technical support? Before getting to that, here is a brief on outsourced technical support.
Outsourced technical support refers to the process of hiring a third-party company to answer your customer’s queries and solve any issues with your products or services. For instance, if you are a web hosting company, you can rely on outsourced web hosting support to provide your customers with web hosting support. Some of the advantages of outsourcing are cost savings, 24/7 support, scalability, and the usage of advanced technologies.
To make the most out of outsourced technical support, you need to set it up successfully and here are the ways to do it.

Based on your customers, they may expect the support to be offered via social media platforms, calls, emails, etc. Also, take into account the number of customer interactions you handle and your budget.
Look for Credibility
There may be several outsourced technical support companies out there, but you need to find a reputed company that you can trust. For example, a company claiming to offer 24/7 server support should actually be providing that. Here are some of the ways to look for credibility.

SEO VS PPC
|
There are two essential separations while contemplating SEO or PPC. The first is that paid advancements show up at the most raised sign of the page, over the typical postings affected by SEO. The second is that traffic from typical through SEO is free, while traffic from PPC has an expense for each snap. By and large, SEO and PPC work best when worked with and intentionally changed.
Improve your organic traffic
What are the expected gains and weaknesses of normal traffic from web records? Shouldn’t something be said about we start with the specialists:
Care.
Discernible quality in web check instruments for your relegated articulations puts your business before sensible clients in like manner like you were to progress, and it drives brand care.
Stepping.
Discernible quality around business search terms and informational solicitations identified with your business region can have a positive stepping advantage. Your image can become related with and trusted through searchers who are acting solicitations like they direct the evaluation that will incite a buy. You can change into a definitive voice around a given subject.
Validness and trust.
Having your site return in the ordinary outcomes can influence your clear legitimacy with a swarm of people searching for your associations. Different clients skip progressions and trust ordinary outcomes considerably more particularly. Being clear outfits your business with that colossally basic gift. Also having solid review and notoriety pennants set up will pass on extra advantage.
Site traffic.
Developing site traffic offers you more chances to drive mindfulness in regards to your business and show a possibility concerning why they would purchase from you.
Cost per click.
Traffic from ordinary solicitation is free kind of. Empowering that discernible quality will require some theory and exertion (cash), yet there is really not a speedy charge for every impression or snap.
Advantage from experience (ROI). Ordinary web list traffic can give a further made ROI over conventional kinds of paid media and insistently refine PPC.
Cost.
While SEO is neither inconspicuous nor direct, it will everything considered be more practical than any overabundance publicizing frameworks for giving brand care and relevant traffic to your site.
Sensibility.
Not at all like paid to pursue propelling, typical traffic doesn’t evaporate the ensuing you quit paying. Along these lines, endeavors to develop typical traffic can maintain a business when publicizing spending is scaled back.
PPC: Laser-appointed distinguishable quality
How does paid pursuit separate from customary pursue?
With investigate rates and trust emphatically stacked for standard pursue, for what reason may a business check out paid pursuit? Coming up next are a piece of the advantages PPC offers:
Position on the page.
Paid solicitation overwhelms the top substance. With normally four notifications on the work area and three on adaptable, a client will dependably see the paid pursue headways, whether or not they decide to look past them.
Further made progressions.
PPC progressions are only that: observes. In like way, you have obviously more granular control and more space for passing on your displaying messages. Calls, areas, site links, surveying, and rundown things (callouts) are only a piece of the choices for making advancements that standard the page.
Visual thing headways.
Where you sell a thing, Google gives the choice of visual shopping headways (Product Listing Ads, or PLAs) that can help a client see what they will tap on. This sort of headway can truly manage the unique visitor clicking rate by offering a part not accessible in normal pursue.
Brand noticeable quality.
Running paid pursuit commercials gets you seen by the best individuals. Whether or not they dial down and direct a brand search prior to clicking to your site, that noticeable quality will pass on advantages to your showing.
Spending plan.
PPC ponders tight control of the financial plan. Close the aggregate you will go as the day progressed (preferably for explicit central and optimal contemplations of advantages), and put forward that decent line.
Focusing in on.
PPC gives a laser-doled-out technique for getting before-expected clients. Progressions can be doled out through search articulations, time of day, day of the week, geography, language, gadget, and gatherings dependent upon past visits. Normal traffic, by association, is clearly more scattershot.
Speed.
While creating phenomenal ordinary distinguishable quality can save time, a PPC mission can be made in days and skewed up in weeks. There could be no quick strategy for getting before clients at the particular second they are prepared to purchase than paid web search instrument publicizing.
Lithe.
Speed gives deftness. Need to test something else? Another propelling message? You can get a quick commitment on something else dispatch (or least feasible thing by running a short PPC headway crusade.

What all you need to do to reduce high Cost per Click in AdWords?
|
Cost per Click is basically the price that you pay to Google or any other search engine when someone clicks on your ad.
It measures how much a click on your ads cost. It is one of the foundational metric of the AdWords Campaigns and acts as a building block for the further understanding of the AdWords Campaigns.
CPC are different for various keywords, ads, campaigns, etc. so you need to have good understanding of AdWords bidding strategy to optimize your CPC.

It is the great metric to understand the basic level of campaign costs and the financial success of your ad campaigns.
Likewise in any other business the costs are meant to be kept low, same is the case with AdWords. As the name suggests, Cost per Click is the the cost that you incur when someone clicks on your ad. So as a rule of thumb, it should be kept low.
Given below are some tips that you need to apply so as to reduce your Cost per Click in AdWords.
1. Add Long Tail Keywords
Long tail keywords are those keywords that have low search volume and a clearly identifiable search intent.
The more generic a keyword is , the more people bid on it and therefore the higher is the bid.
On the other hand Long Tail Keywords are specific keywords that have low search volume which means that they are not prone to irrelevant search queries and hence do not waste your ad spend.
Long Tail Keywords tends to have a higher Quality Score and having a higher Quality Score is the most effective way to lower the CPC.
2. Target the keywords that have low bids
While targeting the keywords, find out keywords that have comparatively low bids as these keywords are bound to have lower CPC. Cost per Click of the keywords also depend on how competitive your industry is. Some keywords are extremely competitive and thus have high CPC. Try to avoid using competitive keywords and when you are looking forward to lower your CPC.
Also, switch your bidding from automatic to manual because manual CPC bidding gives you more control over your CPC.
3. Use Negative Keywords
Negative Keywords also help in lowering the CPC. They prevent your ads from being triggered by irrelevant search queries that can lower your CTR.
A healthy CTR is important because a lower CTR would lower your Quality Score thereby increasing your CPC.
They let your ads show up to those people who are looking for your ad and are interested in your product/service.
Hence, by avoiding all the irrelevant search queries, negative keywords helps your CTR to increase that improves your Quality Score and lowers your Cost per Click.
4. Aim for 3rd or 4th position
Google uses an auction system to rank the ads and decide the Cost per Click of each ad.
As an online advertiser, you should also try to aim your ads for at least 3rd or 4th ad position.
To aim for 3rd or 4th ad position you will have you will have to work upon the relevance of your keywords, ad copy and the landing page.
Google determines the ad rank on the Quality Score and the Max CPC.
Here, you are focussing on lowering your CPC, so to improve your ad rank you have to first improve your Quality Score.
Higher the ad position means higher the Quality Score and higher Quality Score always lowers your CPC.
The ad rank and the Quality Score are interconnected. A rise in Quality Score leads to a rise in Ad rank and vice versa.
5. Focus on the Quality Score
Quality Score is Google’s rating for the relevance of your keywords, landing page and ads.
It determines the position of your ads as well as how much are you going to pay for each click.
When you start creating highly targeted ads which are more relevant to the search queries, then your CTR increases.
Increased CTR leads to an improved Quality Score thereby increasing your ad rank and lowering your Cost Per Click.
6. Create Tightly Themed Ad Groups
The more relevant your keywords, ads and the landing pages are, the more will be your Quality Score which will further reduce your Cost per Click.
One of the most recommended practices to achieve a high Quality Score and low Cost per Click is to create tightly themed Ad Groups.
To do this, you should structure your keywords and ad groups on the basis of different product and services that you sell and want to promote online.
After separating the Ad Group for each kind of your product/service, create relevant keywords and choose the best possible landing page for each of your ad groups.
Since, you have now created tightly themed ad groups making your keywords, ads and landing pages highly relevant, Google will reward you with high Quality Score thereby lowering your Cost Per Click.
7. Use Ad Scheduling
Ad Scheduling is another feature of PPC advertising. It is often an overlooked area with a lot of potential to save your ad spend.
It allows the advertiser to select specific days and times of the day to run the ad.
Showing your ads 24/7 can be costly for any business and will most likely lower your ROI.
If you are familiar with the day or time when you get the best response from your customers. You can schedule your ads for that day or time.
By this, you will be able to show your ads to your customers when they are most likely to convert. This will further reduce the possibility of getting irrelevant clicks which will lead to a lower Cost Per Click.
With the help of Ad Scheduling also you can save up your ad budget by preventing the display of your ads at odd hours or days. Thereby preventing irrelevant clicks as well.
8. Apply Geo Targeting
Geo-Targeted helps you to focus on advertising in the areas where you will find the right customers for your business.
For each AdWords Campaign, you can select the location where you want your ads to be shown.
There are multiple locations targeting type. You can target the entire country, city, areas within a city, region or postal code and radius around a location.
Geo Targeting has the potential of taking your AdWords campaigns to a new level.
To target specific searchers with a PPC campaign, marketers give geotargeting the nod as their most effective tactic.
Targeting PPC campaigns to a group of searchers within a city, metropolitan area, or state is useful to marketers with a physical location in that area.
With Geo-Targeting, your ads will only get displayed in those areas where your potential customers reside. This will increase your CTR, which will eventually improve your Quality Score thereby reducing your Cost Per Click.
Final Thoughts
The 8 outlined points above are just a few tips to lower your CPC. There are other ways of lowering CPC such as conversion tracking, using as extensions, adjusting bids according to location, devices, day and times of the day.
Lowering your CPC is just a part of your overall goal of reducing ad spend but it is not the ultimate one. Therefore, you should try to improve other aspects of your campaigns so as to make your AdWords campaigns more effective.

LatAm Gets In On The DeFi Boom
|
Lattice Exchange Launches Spanish-Language Platform and Education
Madrid, Spain, December 15 — Leading decentralized finance (DeFi) platform Lattice Exchange announced today a move to make both DeFi activities and education more accessible to members of the Spanish community, the second most commonly used language in its ecosystem, through the addition of DeFi educational tracks and support on its Launchpad. Lattice Launchpad allows anyone with crypto, regardless of amounts held, to discover, access, and support early-stage crypto projects before their token gains widespread adoption on popular centralized exchanges. Prior to the latest release, Lattice Launchpad support was limited to English.
The move to support Spanish language furthers Lattice’s vision of making DeFi accessible to all, catering to its growing Spanish community in a more personalized manner. In an effort to educate the masses, beyond the traditional English speaking crypto pockets, the team has already begun creating Spanish language explanatory and walkthrough videos on Youtube, Infographics on Instagram and follow-up news/updates threads on Twitter.
The Lattice Exchange platform is built upon Constellation’s Hypergraph Network, leveraging its seamless cross-chain swaps and DeFi applications. Lattice Launchpad launched in August 2021 with Alkimi Exchange, which saw almost $10M USD staked during their initial Launchpad listing in under five days, resulting in a 100x oversubscription. The platform has also seen other successes with projects such as Double Dice in November 2021 where users staked a total of $6.8M USD to support the projects $250k USD raise, and Geojam in December 2021 where users staked $4.7M USD also surpassing the projects $200k USD raise in just 5 days.
The Spanish community using the Lattice Exchange has seen steady growth, mirroring the explosive growth of crypto in LatAm countries such as El Salvador who has frequently been making headlines for their large Bitcoin purchases, and Brazil moving to accept crypto as legal tender. Lattice has validated this with the rapidly growing number of members of the Spanish community across various social media platforms.
Mundo Crypto, the leading crypto education platform based out of Spain partnered with Constellation in July 2021, announcing the collaboration live on-stage in Madrid in front of a massive crowd. Mani Thawani, Founder and CEO of Mundo Crypto states, “The growth that Constellation is having as an alternative to the traditional blockchain is enormous and those of us who understand this sector know the importance that lattice exchange is playing here for them.
There are more and more projects on their launchpad and the growth of your community is exponential, I see great times for Lattice and Constellation for the upcoming years.”
The social and community growth has been steadfast over the last few months, with the addition of a dedicated Spanish speaking team. Since launching the Spanish social media channels back in August 2021, Lattice’s Spanish Telegram channels now host over 10,000 unique members, nearly surpassing the total in the Constellation Main Channel which houses the English speaking community. The numbers are impressive on Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube as well, steadily approaching the 15,000 milestone.
“The growth in the number of Spanish community members using the Lattice Exchange platform as well as being involved in the Constellation Ecosystem is commendable, considering the time period. With Spanish being one of the most spoken languages in the world, it makes sense to pivot this change and deliver a personalized experience. As Lattice continues to expand its operations worldwide, we might consider adding support to more languages to cater to local audiences. We are looking forward to making even bigger moves in the LatAm community in 2022,” said Gina Rubino, Director of Marketing at Constellation Network and Lattice Exchange.

Bitch
|
You could have enjoyed three months in the Bahamas drinking Piña Coladas with the money you have spent on accent reduction classes. Yet you still speak like Sofia Vergara.
Your coworkers, who at this point are also your friends, like to tease you because “you say bitch in a cute way.” You smile and put that offended-but-not-offended face of yours, and open your mouth ready to reply while your hands start moving up. You mostly enjoy the teasing/trolling. You didn’t care when beach and bitch sounded exactly the same to you, but honestly, twenty hundred dollars later, the joke is as stale as Sofia Vergara’s fake accent. “Do you know how smart I am in Spanish?” You joke-yell at them, channeling your inner Gloria Pritchet. They laugh. That always works. If they can repeat their joke, you can repeat yours.
You are currently a senior manager, which is pretty awesome, having in mind you landed in New York seven years ago, jobless and in your mid-thirties, rehearsing in advance every single sentence you wanted to say. Your coworkers know perfectly well that now you won’t shut up. Your therapist insists that you should be proud of yourself. The insecure señora within you knows that you grew up surrounded by white privilege. You repeat to yourself that you are just a lucky bitch. “I am allowed to be emotional, ok? I am a Spaniard, it’s in my DNA!” You say when you get carried away by the enthusiasm of work well done and your coworkers troll-praise your fervor. That joke always works as well. You like variety. They can continue anchored in the bitch/beach one.
It has rained a lot since that morning when you stepped out of 181th St station and you immediately felt at home. Hours later, you face-timed your mother to share the amazing news: you had finally found an apartment! The woman was probably drinking expensive wine on her balcony facing the Mediterranean beach where you learned to swim many years ago. “You are moving to Washington Heights, baby? But that neighborhood is full of immigrants!” Your face looked like that internet meme with the confused math lady that looks like Julia Roberts. “Well, mother…” and then you let your inner Gloria Pritchet/Sofia Vergara come out for the first time ever “… WHAT DO YOU THINK I AM?”
When you tell that story, you always remember that time when you were talking about white people with your very Asian work husband. “Woman, with THAT accent there’s no way you are white!” He said. You always grin with that one. By that time, you had already stopped giving your money to the very nice lady from Boston that taught you why every time you requested a budget spreadsheet at work you were unconsciously revealing your feelings about budget shit.
You still have a shit ton of problems with the other vowels, you little bitch. And that is ok, at least you can go to the Bahamas now.

Is it a good idea coming to study in Cuba?
|
So, is it a good idea to come to study in this country?
My short answer is no, it is much more worth studying elsewhere in the world. I know that many students come to Cuba attracted by how little a career here can cost them, however, as the saying goes, you get what you pay for.
However, if you want to come to Cuba for a short time to give one or two courses, I think it would be a great idea. Here are three important reasons I have for recommending this:
Share with Cuban students
In January 2020 I began in my Faculty what seemed like one of the most exciting semesters of my entire journey through the University. The reason? There were a lot of foreign exchange students, the opportunities to share about our ideas and culture were endless. Sadly, Covid-19 shattered those and many other expectations. However, the previous semester we had had Maria, a wonderful girl from Boston, in our Semantics course. Sharing with her was a more than pleasant experience for our entire group.
My point is this, by coming to Cuba as a student for a short time, you are not only giving yourself the opportunity to meet wonderful people, but you are also giving Cubans the opportunity to share with other types of students outside of their circle. Keep in mind that we will rarely be able to go on a university exchange to another country.
Improve your language skills
If you are not a Spanish speaker, coming to Cuba as a student for a short time can help you improve your Spanish language skills. It is true that Cubans speak very fast among ourselves and we run over words, as most native speakers do in their own language. However, you cannot imagine how attentive we Cubans are when communicating with people who do not speak our language. I would venture to say that the patience we have with non-Spanish speakers, motivated in part by the enthusiasm with which we welcome foreigners, is hard to find anywhere else.

Know our reality from within
Voltaire already said it, in his famous Candide, that it is a great thing to travel to be disappointed in a thousand nonsense. If you want to know about Cuba, especially if your studies are related in any way with our reality, don’t let anyone tell you about it, come and see for yourself.

Escape the Tezos Liquidity Baking
|
Dear spanish and whole Tezos community,
Since the Granada Tezos amendment we are seeing that Nomadic Labs, a subsidiary company from Tezos Foundation, is injecting a feature on all its amendments called Liquidity Baking.
According to its website description, the Tezos Foundation defines its role as: “to sustainably deploy the resources that are under control to support the long-term success of Tezos. This long-term success will only be possible with a vibrant decentralized ecosystem.”
We think that Liquidity Baking harms the interest of our Tezos Spanish Community and other fundraiser donors that made possible the Tezos project, as well as to retail investors because:
It creates extra inflation on our $xtz savings
on our $xtz savings It creates a dangerous precedent issuing xtz through a centralized pair (tzBTC), on behalf of a supposed benefit of generating a liquidity cascade into the Tezos defi ecossytem that is not being achieved.
For that reason we do ask to the Tezos Foundation to stop funding Nomadic Labs till it stops proposing economical amendments instead of purely technical amendments. On the other hand, Tezos Spanish is working on a future spanish baker that would vote against any future inflationary amendment and we encourage to all bakers (specially spanish bakers Ceiboxtz, Wake n’ bake and Mytezosbaking) to escape Liquidity Baking using the escape mechanism following the next instructions from sources:
Create this file, vote.json with the following contents:
{“liquidity_baking_escape_vote”:true}
Then restart your baker and add the parameter — votefile vote.json
Example:
tezos-baker-010-PtGRANAD — endpoint http://127.0.0.1:8732 run with local node /opt/tezos_mainnet/ — votefile /home/mybaker/vote.json bakingtacos — max-priority 2
This will cast a vote to stop the LB when a baker bakes their block. Once enough bakers/block cast this vote, it can end early.
Or if you useKiln:
sudo su -
cd /var/lib/kiln/exe-dir/
mkdir -p config
echo ‘ — votefile /var/lib/kiln/data-dir/vote.json’ > config/kiln-baker-custom-args
echo ‘{“liquidity_baking_escape_vote”: true}’ > /var/lib/kiln/data-dir/vote.json
systemctl restart kiln
We believe that the progress of Tezos cannot be achieved on detriment of the fundraiser donors and retail investors’ community, so we also encourage the Tezos Foundation to adopt immediately effective measures to increase liquidity on Tezos:

Dream come true
|
I’ve been on a mad goose chase
& set all my contingencies ablaze
I’ve gone from pillar to post
chasing little dreams of a little cost
paving pavements
yet to be walked.
Learning spells, yet to be cast.
I chase these dreams,
dreamt in warm winter afternoons
in careless naps of a careless time
I dreamed of love and grandeur
only to wake up and find a spectator
instead of the hero
I dreamt of being
gifted with silence
while all I wanted, was to scream
So I keep running from pillar to post
chasing little lost dreams
Catching them by their neck
till they resurrect
tarnished by mortality
that murdered my dream
when it my reality
How I miss my dreams and what they used to be
before cruel reality dawned upon them and me
How I miss the chase
and its invincible exasperation
till they become true
and it all ends abruptly
all that anticipation, now no where to be seen
Are dreams only meant to be dreamt?
sealed away from the grasps of reality
uncorrupted by mortality.
How they lose their allure
when I become so sure
for dreams are never meant to come true
created for our godly afflictions
to chase them, grab them by their neck
even if they lead one to oblivion
But how beastly can oblivion be?
When one can say they lived a life full of dreams
full of what could be
when one can say they dreamed through their last breath.
Not a hero, not a scream
just silently, leaving with a dream to hold on to.

Are Vaccines For The Birds?
|
(Should I be concerned about Big Bird? And other fun thoughts)
I heard Senator Ted Cruz was upset. A tall, muppetlike (is that the right term?) yellow creature named Big Bird got a Covid-19 vaccine and tweeted about it on Twitter. ’twas a boring tweet that stymied Ted and I’m telling two+ people that this is much-to-do about nothing.
After all, Big Bird isn’t exactly a real person. He’s a bird. A fake bird, so much bigger than your ‘classic’ yellow canary. The super fun size little kids would like in birds, you know?
Can birds get Covid-19? And should they get a Covid vaccine? Are robins and bluejays also susceptible? What about red roosters, pink flamingos, brownish pelicans, dark gray and white juncos?
Oh, you see a pattern here. You think it’s all about color. Colorful birds should be vaccinated. Yeah, maybe, and people too, who come in the colors of brown, white, black, light pink, olive, etc. And with vaccines for people, color does not matter. Only the vaccine matters. And staying alive once you get it.
So what color is Ted Cruz? I’d give him the color of many politicians today: pale and ignorant.
This is being brought to you by the letter O (as in Oh-my-God, I can’t believe this). Oh, according to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control), birds have not been catching Covid. But people can, and maybe your dog too(see the CDC link).
(Ms. D. J. Mathews takes her Big Bird business seriously. See her serious and not so serious writing at www.greatamericanidea.com/blog/ )

Is It Dangerous to Get Amalgam Fillings?
|
Traditionally, dental restorations have been made from metal amalgam. This material is still in use today thanks to its high durability and strength combined with ease of use and affordability. But in modern times, the drawbacks of amalgam fillings have become appearance, with the cosmetic issues being particularly prominent. However, there is one particular factor that makes many patients and dentists wary of amalgam nowadays: the presence of mercury. This metal is everywhere in our environment (with trace amounts often being found in human blood and urine), but many people believe that the mercury in fillings can lead to toxicity. Is this truly something you need to be concerned about? Read on to learn the facts.
How Much Mercury is in an Amalgam Restoration?
Dental amalgam is a combination of many metals. Notably, it contains about 50% mercury — a large reason why so many patients are concerned about it. It is important to keep in mind, though, that your body’s actual exposure to mercury will be very low on a day-to-day basis. The amalgam stays right where it is once it is in the tooth, so the main risk of exposure is when a filling is initially placed or removed. As such, many dentists — mainly those that practice holistic dentistry — have adopted the SMART method of amalgam removal. SMART is an acronym for “Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique.” It is designed the minimize the amount of mercury vapor that you inhale during the removal process. It involves advanced technology such as high-volume air filtration to stop mercury from entering the bloodstream.
So are Amalgam Fillings Safe?
Amalgam is still widely considered to be safe in the dental community, but there are more dentists who believe that they pose a risk to the patient’s overall health. Mercury exposure is linked to a variety of healthy problems, including insomnia and headaches. While the amount of mercury present in amalgam fillings is very low, many dentists have switched to composite fillings as an alternative.
What are the Advantages of Tooth-Colored Fillings?
Composite fillings are made from composite resin, which is highly biocompatible and contains no mercury. For patients who have concerns about mercury exposure, composite resin is a much safer option. There are other advantages to consider as well, such as the following:
· Composite fillings are also sometimes called tooth-colored fillings thanks to the fact that they can be shaded to match the color of your enamel, thus resulting in a much more natural appearance.
· Amalgam fillings are held in place thanks to significant amounts of enamel being removed from the teeth, but composite resin can bond with the dental structure itself, making it a much more conservative option.
· Unlike metal amalgam, composite resin is not affected by temperature and thus will not expand and contract.
In general, composite fillings are safer, less invasive, and more aesthetically appealing than amalgam fillings. Reach out to a dental practice near you today if you’d like to explore the possibility of using a composite filling to repair your tooth or replace an amalgam restoration.

Why nobody knows what’s wrong with your jaw
|
If I might set the tone with an analogy: what’s the difference between a cowboy builder and a chartered engineer? The answer is that a cowboy builder will do something that looks ok, but you have no idea how long it will hold up or how it will function. An engineer, on the other hand, will painstakingly calculate or create a computer simulation of the forces on an object, to predict how well it will hold up, how long it will function and how it might wear with use.
Dentists, orthodontists and joint surgeons do not calculate or create simulations of the forces on your teeth and jaws. They are all doing it by eye until it looks alright. They are cowboy builders. The entire industry.
Ever wondered why dentistry is considered separate from the rest of medicine, as if teeth were a separate entity to the rest of the human body? They’re not — the teeth are the contact points of your jaw. The way your jaw bone fits in the socket or moves around it when you close your mouth depends of how your teeth fit or don’t fit. This is obvious from any diagram of the jaw and also from Newton’s third Law, one of the best established facts that exists. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction and this principle applies to the contact surface of your teeth as much as anything else in the universe. When your jaw muscles contract and your teeth meet, the geometry of the contact surface determines the reciprocal forces on your jaw muscles, the order and strengths that they tense, how your jaw bone moves and whether it rubs the nerves in the socket. Let me tell you, your jaw bone rubbing the nerves in the socket burns like hell, and there are no pills for it. Its between having your funny bone hit and being burned alive.
The unfortunate reason that dentistry is kept separate from medicine is that the professionals are incapable of dealing with the mechanics of teeth and jaws, so they simply ignore the concept, claiming no evidence of it. For all the marketing of ‘excellence’ and ‘perfection’, there is a fundamental incompetency at the heart of dentistry. Nobody can see forces. Nobody can tell how your jaw is functioning by looking at your teeth, the outside of your face or a static scan of the joint. It is impossible.
If you have been abandonned with jaw pain, or are being sent in circles around maxillofacial, dental and oral pain clinics, I suggest you might have a problem with how the teeth fit relative to your jaw. Unfortunately there is no system that scans and simulates the forces on your teeth and jaws but there are some useful diagnostics tests that are widely ignored.
Firstly, there are bite pressure sensors that measure the forces over your teeth as you close your mouth. If you’re not biting with even pressure either side it is a good indication of a disalignment of your teeth and jaw. This doesn’t tell you the forces on your jaw however — nothing does.
While there is no test to measure the forces between your jaw bone and socket, the next best thing is to have a static cbct scan done with your teeth together, as you can infer whether it is rubbing or displacing. Usually when you close your mouth your jaw bone should be in the socket, hanging on muscles and sliding on a thin disc. If your bite pushes your joint too far in or back it can aggravate the nerves and even damage your joint. If your bite brings your jaw bone out of the socket, it can pop, lock and even dislocate.
Having a scan with your teeth together is such a basic, logical thing to do it should be considered gross negligence to deny a patient such a test, yet this is the norm. Any dentist, orthodontist or doctor can refer a patient for a cbct scan but they won’t. They don’t want to know. They don’t want such concepts to exist. The cognitive dissonance is extraordinary.
Instead of acknowleging their limits in dealing with mechanical motion, they preach about the ‘biopsychosocial’ model of jaw dysfunctions, as if the patients are manifesting emotional trauma as physical pain.

Dentures- An Introduction
|
Dentures or false teeth used to replace natural teeth after their having fallen out or have been extracted, allow you to eat and speak without constraint.
Loose dentures can be very uncomfortable and embarrassing.
They can also create friction at the gum line which is minor initially, but can eventually create sores.
When left unattended, this inflammation is not only painful but can also pose a serious risk to your oral health.
Though the dentures generally fit securely in your mouth, they sometimes become loose and no longer feel the way they are meant to.
They might start slipping & sliding in the mouth when you are eating or speaking.
A visit to a dentist can ascertain if the dentures can be relined or if a new set is required.
Upon noticing loose dentures, it is best to schedule an appointment to talk to your dentist & fix the situation as quickly as possible.
Reasons for Loose Dentures
There can be various reasons for the dentures becoming loose. Bone resorption, a process where your gums begin to shrink is the most common reason among others.
Gradual wear and tear can be another reason for dentures becoming loose.
Good care of your dentures can prevent this, which implies taking them out before sleeping at night and avoiding chewing or biting down on hard food.
Loose Denture Fixes
There are a variety of options for loose denture fixes, including fast, in-office fixes or permanent changes to your denture that can last several years.
New Denture Adhesive
You can hold them in place with a strong denture adhesive, to prevent them from moving around too much in your mouth.
A paste with a firmer grip and better fill can buy you time while more permanent options are accessed.
Soft Relining
A quick in-office procedure, the soft relining helps re-mold the inner lining of removable dentures.
This helps to accommodate the changes in your jaw shape.
This is done by cleaning the dentures and adding polymer to the tray. The tray is again replaced in the mouth to take shape, giving a soft, more secure fit.
According to the severity of loosening, this option can sustain from months to years providing you with a dependable and inexpensive solution.
Hard Relining
Similar to its less permanent counterpart, in this relining, the newly molded dentures are sent out to a lab where hard denture plastic is used permanently to reshape the tray.
This offers a more durable fit, but the procedure is more costly and time-consuming.
Also, your dentures will be unavailable to you for a couple of days while they are at the lab, which may result in some inconvenience.
It is recommended that patients have the dentures relined to improve the fit when bone loss occurs.
Visiting the dentist regularly can help ensure relining is done when it is rather than waiting for the dentures to break.
Usually, a dentist can adjust the way the dentures fit with repairs and relining.
But almost all dentures will need replacement at some juncture, especially if there is considerable bone loss.
Besides, the dentures that do not fit well are more inclined to breakage.
Dental Implants
Your dentist may recommend switching to implant-supported dentures also known as overdentures if he feels you are eligible.
In this process, the implants or titanium posts are fused to your jawbone to keep your artificial teeth secured in place.
These are more secure removable dentures as the artificial teeth are anchored to your jawbone using dental implants.
Implants are regarded as a better alternative to dentures because the titanium posts act like your tooth root and stimulate the growth of bone, instead of reducing your bone density like dentures.
An invasive procedure, this is expensive but one of the best ways of lessening denture adjustment.
But not everyone is eligible for this method as the adequate bone health to fully support implant rods, may be missing.
The two types of implant-supported dentures are bar-retained and ball-retained dentures.
Bar-Retained Dentures:
Your jawline and is wrapped around with a thin metal bar, attached to two to five dental implants in your jawbone using clips.
Ball-Retained Dentures:
Each of the implants in the mouth requires to have a metal attachment that fits into a part of the denture
CONCLUSION
Loose dentures can be cumbersome and difficult and pose a hindrance to chewing food and speaking properly.
In case of loose dentures, schedule an appointment with Dr. Gaurav Sharma at Kirkland Premier Dentistry, to get them adjusted and to discuss more secure alternatives.

Composition Of Tooth Structure
|
Dental hard tissue is mineralised and enamel is made out of prisms or rods. The diameter of the rods is about 4 μm. The chemical composition of the rods is Calcium Hydroxyapatite — Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2. Enamel gradually gets thinner toward the root and terminates at the cervical line.
Cementum is the yellowish external surface of the anatomic root, covering the dentin. The composition of cementum is: 65% calcium hydroxyapatite (inorganic calcified substance), 12% water and 23% organic matter — collagen fibers. The thickness of the cementum layer is lowest near the CEJ, no more than 50–100 μm.
The periodontal fibers, connecting the root to the (jaw) alveolar bone are incorporated into the cementum. The CEJ is the transitional zone between the enamel of the crown and the cementum of the root.
Dentine is the basic, mostly inorganic, calcified substance of a tooth. It is a hard yellowish tissue underlying the enamel and cementum, making up the major bulk of the tooth.
The dentin is not visible — except on radiographic images or when the enamel is worn out, or on cross-sectional slices for microscopic examination.
The composition of Dentine is: 70% calcium hydroxyapatite (inorganic calcified substance), 12% water and 18% organic matter — collagen fibers. The dentin is composed of a great number of dentine tubules — 65 000/mm² near the pulp and 15 000- 20 000/mm² near the CEJ.
The Pulp is the soft non-calcified tissue in the pulp chamber — the cavity in the centre
of the crown and root.
The pulp is completely surrounded by dentin, except the root
apex. It is composed of loose connective tissue, fibroblasts, blood vessels for an
abundant, rich blood supply, and a great number of nerve endings, penetrating the pulp through the root apex.
The ground substance consists of water, carbohydrates and proteins. An important component of the pulp is the undifferentiated mesenchymal cells that serve to replace injured or destroyed odontoblasts — a repairing (regenerative) function of the pulp.
Functions Of The Pulp
- forming function — at the borderline to the dentine there are cells named odontoblasts. These cells produce new dentin throughout the whole lifetime. It is named secondary dentin.
The odontoblasts have cytoplasm processes penetrating into the dentin tubules. That’s why the dentin is extremely sensitive to mechanical, physical and chemical irritating factors — they are directly transferred by the odontoblast processes to the nerve endings into the pulp.
The sensory function — this means strong sensitivity to hot, cold, sweet, tooth decay, instrumental preparation for treatment, trauma, infection, etc.

How Holiday Stress Can Affect TMJ
|
For many people, the holidays are their absolute favorite time of the year. For many others, it’s a stressful time when worries about things like gift-buying and overeating make enjoying the season a little more challenging. People with chronic TMJ often find their condition flares up or worsens during the holidays. Here’s why that happens and what you can do about it.
Why Does Stress Make TMJ Worse?
There are several issues that can exacerbate your TMJ or temporomandibular disorder, and stress is one of them. When your body is under too much pressure, you might:
Clench your jaw more frequently and tightly.
Grind your teeth while you sleep.
Find the muscles in your neck, head, and face tighten more than they usually do.
What You Can Do
The best solution for finding relief from stress-induced TMJ pain and discomfort is to find ways to reduce your stress. Here’s how to take it easy for your oral health’s sake.
Stop whatever you’re doing and take some deep breaths. It really works to relax your mind and body, which lowers stress. A bonus: deep breathing also helps lower blood pressure and reduce generalized anxiety.
Get some exercise and work that stress out. You don’t have to hit the gym or health club to get some stress relief. A nice brisk walk, doing some yoga, or taking the dog for a walk can all do wonders for your stress level. The other health benefits don’t hurt either!
Get a good night’s sleep. The holidays can get pretty hectic. Be sure to get enough sleep so your body has a chance to relax and recharge.
You might also want to consider eating a TMJ-friendly diet over the holidays. Processed foods that contain white sugar, white flour, and dairy can cause gum inflammation in some people. And crunchy or hard foods like bread, carrots, and nuts can be pretty tough on your jaw and teeth!
Visit Your Dentist
The best way to deal with chronic TMJ flare-ups is to ask your dentist about solutions that include finding the underlying cause of your TMJ so it can be treated appropriately. In many cases, the culprit is either a misaligned bite or bruxism (teeth grinding), which can be treated with a mouth guard.
From all of us at Kanehl Dental, we hope you have a wonderful, stress-free holiday season that’s filled with family, friends, laughs, and great memories!

What’s the best way to whiten your teeth?
|
Who doesn’t want to have a bright white smile? This blog post will break down the main ways you can whiten your teeth safely and what the best, fastest and cheapest options are.
Photo by Candid on Unsplash
For the best long-term results
Professional home whitening is by far the best way to whiten your teeth. You’ll spend around 2–4 weeks wearing whitening trays with special prescription only gels at night whilst you sleep. The change in colour is gradual and once you get to the level you’re happy with you can stop.
The results from home teeth whitening will last years and to maintain the colour of your teeth, all you need to do is see a hygienist every 6 months for general cleaning and do some top-up whitening for a couple of days straight after.
Typical costs for home whitening by a dentist range from £350 — £550.
The cheapest way to whiten your teeth
There are many over the counter products that you can buy yourself, from whitening toothpaste to home whitening gel kits.
Whitening toothpaste won’t change the colour of your teeth but can be useful to get rid of light surface staining from foods, tea and coffee.
Over the counter whitening kits (such as Hi-Smile, a popular product advertised on Instagram) don’t contain enough peroxide gel so they won’t change the colour of your teeth much either, however, they will make your teeth look whiter for a short period of time by dehydrating your teeth.
These kits are much cheaper than professional whitening (starting at around £50) but you will need to use them almost every week to maintain a white smile.
The quickest way to whiten your teeth
You can whiten your teeth instantly at a dental practice that carries out in-surgery whitening. This involves sitting in the dental chair with stronger gel around your teeth and a light fixed into place to activate the gel.
In-surgery treatment usually lasts 1 hour and rapidly whitens your teeth.
The main issue with this method is that your teeth can fade back very quickly so you will want to supplement the treatment with some home whitening anyway.
In-surgery whitening is also the most expensive option with prices starting at £750.
Professional home whitening is the winner
So, the best way to whiten your teeth is to do it at home over 2–4 weeks with some prescription gel from your dentist. If you’ve got an event coming up next week and you’ve left it too late then in-surgery whitening will be the best choice.
Trying out cheaper pastes and gels will be cheaper in the short term but you won’t see a big difference in the colour of your teeth. If you do it is unlikely to last a long time.

If The Democratic Establishment Were A Husband
|
Wife: Darling, the pipes are still broken.
Husband: I told you I’ll get to it.
Wife: It’s been months, darling. This house is turning into a bog and the children are getting sick.
Husband: I’ll get to it, I said! Look, we all need to come together on this issue. You happen to be married to the best handyman there is, and I definitely care deeply about fixing those pipes. Did you know there are children getting sick as a result of our bad plumbing?
Wife: I literally just said that.
Husband: I know one of them, Jeannie, she’s eight years old, and she has the most heartbreaking story you’ve ever —
Wife: I know! That’s our daughter! Look, just please let me call a plumber.
Husband: Oh look at you with your pie-in-the-sky ponies and unicorns. There’s no money for a plumber.
Wife: What? We’ve got plenty of money!
Husband: Nope we don’t! I spent it on this cool drone! Check it out!
Wife: Idiot! Why are you spending our money on drones when our children can’t drink the water?? Look, okay, I’ll call my brother. He can fix this.
Husband: What? No! You can’t bring in a third party! This is a two-party system! You have to choose between me and the raw sewage that’s slowly filling our house.
Wife: But the raw sewage is your fault! You refuse to fix the problem! If you’d just start fixing the problem we wouldn’t be up to our ankles in poo water!
Husband: I think the real problem is that you’re completely overreacting and misinterpreting the situation here. Everything’s fine. I just need to work on my messaging.
Wife: Oh my God! You can’t stop me from calling my brother. If you won’t fix the problem I’ll get someone who will.
Husband: You can’t call your brother.
Wife: Why not?
Husband: The Russians —
Wife: Oh, again with the Russians!
Husband: They hacked our phone! This is a serious crisis!
Wife: Oh, you blame those Russians for everything! The phone, the car, that job you didn’t get —
Husband: I’m pretty sure your brother was behind that as well. I was the most qualified candidate in history for that position!
Wife: You submitted an awful application and you know it!
Husband: I don’t understand how you can be fighting me when we’ve just been attacked by Russia!
Wife: I can’t take this anymore! I’m leaving.
Husband: The Russians put that thought in your mind!
Wife: Huh? No, I’m pretty sure it was the swirling eddies of poo in our living room put that in my mind.
Husband: No, you don’t get it, they got to your brother and now he’s got to you!
Wife: Nope.
Husband: Anyway, where are you going to go? No one else will ever love you. No one will ever take care of you. If you remarry the next guy will probably just let you fester in a house full of poo water, like a bloody psychopath.
Wife: That’s exactly what you’re doing!
Husband: Yeah but check out this cool drone!
Wife: You have got to be the most… hey, what’s that over there?
Husband: What? Where?
Wife: Right there!
Husband: Oh, nothing. That’s nothing.
Wife: It’s a sledgehammer! Did… did you break our pipes?
Husband: No. Stop reading Russian WikiLeaks.
Wife: You did! Christ, what are you??
Husband: Look miss ponies and unicorns, I don’t know how things work in your imaginary fairy candyland, but down here in the real world you can’t make an omelette without cracking a few sewage pipes. In times like these, we need to unite to advance the common good of everyone. Come on, let’s go to bed. I’ve met a nice man from Wells Fargo who said he’ll get me that job in exchange for a few favors.
Wife: Sigh… okay, I guess. Not like there’s anywhere else I can go. Will you please try and fix those pipes though?
Husband: Someday, dear. Maybe someday. Come to bed.
Wife: Okay… wait! Who’s she??
Husband: No one. Stop imagining things.

2800 Clinton emails found on Weiner’s laptop to be released today by State Dept.
|
The U.S. State Department told Judicial Watch that portions of 2800 emails found on Anthony Weiner’s laptop will be released today. Judicial Watch is an organization dedicated to revealing federal government corruption through freedom of information law suits.
These emails were first discovered by the FBI by accident on Nov. 16, 2016 during a criminal investigation of Weiner. He was sentenced in September to 21 months in federal prison after pleading guilty in May to transferring obscene material to a minor. Weiner was a former Congressman from New York.
At the time of Weiner’s arrest, he was married to Huma Abedin. She was Clinton’s top assistant, advisor, and confidant when Clinton was running for President and serving as Secretary of State.
These emails were the work product of Hillary Clinton while she was Secretary of State. She was investigated by the FBI for illegally using personal emails to conduct State Department business. All of Clinton’s emails were available to Huma Abedin. Why official State Department business was on Weiner’s laptop is unknown.

Jillenstein!
|
Jill Stein. The story goes that if you say her name three times while standing in front of a mirror she will appear, yet so terrible is her reputation that few have had the courage to breath that third utterance. The Green Party’s 2016 presidential candidate is reviled as a treacherous agent of Moscow, a woman whose Keyser Söze-like history makes the Steele Dossier read like Pat the Bunny. She is a wolf in sheep’s clothing, the secret enemy of all she claims to love, the spoiler’s spoiler, and of course, she is the true reason why Donald Trump seized the White Throne.
Anyone curious about Jill Stein will encounter these blood libels without having to do much digging. But shockingly, it is not the sweating lunatics of Alex Jones’ radio audience who have built up the myth of the treacherous silver-haired doctor from Massachusetts, but America’s Middle Class liberals, who are just as eager to scapegoat their own heretics as the right’s MAGA-capped hicks are eager to lynch RINOs and cucks.
The incident that launched the Legend of Jillenstein took place in Moscow in 2015. There, at a conference hosted by RT (the Russian state-sponsored news network), Jill Stein happened to find herself seated at a table with none other than General Michael Flynn (later to become Donald Trump’s felonious national security advisor) and Vladimir Putin. A picture of this event has been widely circulated, proof, Stein’s detractors claim, of some cloak-and-dagger relationship between Stein, Trump and Moscow.
Yes, Stein has unrepentantly appeared on RT, which some allege makes her a naïve tool of Russian state interests. But other dissident American politicians, like New Mexico governor Gary Johnson and Minnesota governor Jesse Ventura, have appeared on that network as well. Stein’s own explanation of her moment spent with the President of Russia is enough to convince anyone who isn’t a 9/11 Truther of its coincidental nature. Despite this, the Senate Intelligence Committee investigating Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election is now scrutinizing Stein’s campaign. As of this date, no accusations of wrongdoing have been laid.
The leader of the Senate committee is Richard Burr, a Republican, and his attempt to smear Stein smacks of deflection, an attempt to prove to inflamed conservatives that the search for Russian malfeasance will go wherever it leads, even beyond Trump. Yet it is mostly Democrats who have thrilled to the shade being thrown at Jill. John Podesta, who chaired Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign, is also the founder of the Center for American Progress, whose news organ, ThinkProgress, has repeatedly painted Jill Stein as a Russian dupe. Zac Petkanas, also a member of Clinton’s 2016 campaign team, has frequently (and with juvenile fervor) taken to Twitter to paint Jill Stein as Putin’s most useful idiot . As conclusive evidence of this Zac offers that notorious dinner table photograph. (I humbly submit that photographs of Hillary’s rictus smile were much more beneficial to Putin’s agenda.)
This overreaction by Democrats reveals a truth more embarrassing than some third-party politician knoshing with the Russians. Never in modern memory has the Democrats’ national power been reduced to such dregs. They control no branch of the Federal government, are destined to lose control of the Supreme Court for decades to come, and hold a minority of governorships and state legislatures. The Green Party may be feeble, but they still stalk the Democrats as a reminder of the spirit of the genuine, labor-embracing, class-conscious leftism of American politics that the neo-liberal, Third Way DNC sloughed generations ago.
An increasing number of liberal voters want to see those grungy class concerns brought back to the fore in the progressive movement. This is a challenge to the antiseptic, focus-grouped identity politics that the Podestas of the world traffic in, which more than ever appears to be a cul-de-sac that may lead to the overturn of Roe, the evisceration of entitlements, and the reversal of all progress on health care reform.
There is no denying that Jill Stein carries a reputation as a kook amongst most mainstream liberals, but invoke her name and those liberals do not merely brush her off their shoulders like dandruff: they recoil as though she were a spider crawling on their neck. Stein, embodying as she does the public’s idea of an unreconstructed leftist, throws into stark relief the Democrats risk-averse philosophy (never better illustrated than in Rolling Stone’s lamenting endorsement of Hillary over Bernie) which cost them so dearly in 2016, and which keeps their hopes for a restoration in 2018 largely aspirational.
“Everybody Hates Jill”, written by Eve Payser, reflects this subliminal disdain for the left wing perfectly. In a warts-and-all interview with Jill Stein, Eve strikes a mostly equitable tone, but loads her article with warnings — never justified — that paint Jill Stein as the example to be avoided by the left wing (a sisterhood Eve is plainly hostile to since her every mention of the Left is loaded with suspicion). Stein is a “joke”, the Left at “its absolute wackiest”, nothing more than a hippy who probably has “dank as fuck” weed growing in her tomato patch. The Left are “do-gooders” whose embrace of Stein proves a “rigid mistrust of establishment politics” that “goes too far”. Why? Because the distinction between the Greens and Democrats is merely “the narcissism of minor differences,” a splashing contest between two siblings in a bathtub. If the Greens knew what was good for them they would simply get out and dry off.
Eve’s article links to even blunter sentiments from other archliberals whose opinions of Stein are nearly pathological. Remember: in 2016, Stein’s vote tally was one third of that of Gary Johnson, the Libertarian candidate. Nevertheless, her smidgen of votes sent sex columnist Dan Savage into a paroxysm of rage. He called Jill Stein “an asshole in every respect”, and the Greens “grandstanding, attention-seeking, bullshit-spewing charlatans”. Then blood shot out of his eyes with the cutting power of a laser.
Journalist Kurt Eichenwald threatened to punch one of his fans upon learning that he had voted for Stein. “A certain kind of liberal makes me sick,” he tells us in words that in his head must have sounded like a sermon from Jules Winfield . “These people traffic in false equivalencies, always pretending that both nominees are the same, justifying their apathy and not voting or preening about their narcissistic purity as they cast their ballot for a person they know cannot win.” He concludes by stating, “Adults now need to start fixing the damage you have done.”
I think we all know that the arrogance of voting for a long-shot candidate is nothing compared to the arrogance of some twerp journalist declaring himself the “adult in the room”, forced to clean up the mess that America’s preening idiots have made. Will Kurt also remember to tell the next Democratic nominee for President not to take Michigan and Wisconsin for granted?
The real joke, if Payser and her ilk could grasp it, is not the quixotic, granola-crunching leftism represented by Jill Stein, but the state of American liberalism: that immobile, beached manatee of a posture which occupies the dead center of the political spectrum and that mistakes its slow surrender to the force of gravity for some kind of momentum.

The historic Jackson Magnolia, a tree that has been in place since the 1800s, will be cut down and removed from the White House. The decision to remove the tree from the White House was made by First Lady Melania Трамп. Reports say that the reason the tree is being removed is because it’s old and diseased.
In related news, reports say that Melania Трамп would also like to remove Donald from the White House for the same reasons.

The wave of lawsuits against powerful men who’ve sexually harassed and assaulted women has got lawmakers rethinking statutes of limitations for those crimes. Many lawmakers would like to completely remove them in the case of sexual assault.
The exception is a least one Republican lawmaker in the White House who’s name rhymes with “Ronald Dump.”

Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz has worked for the last year on a wide-ranging review of Federal government handling of Hillary Clinton’s emails.

Important New Revelations on Russia Scandal

Important New Revelations on Russia Scandal
There was a very important story about the budding Russia scandal in the NY Times yesterday.
As early as May 2016, Trump aide George Papadopoulos was aware that the Russians had stolen thousands of emails that were going to be used to undermine Clinton’s candidacy. Papadopoulos bragged about this revelation in a drunken conversation with an Australian diplomat. This diplomat was so alarmed at this revelation that he reported this information to the FBI.
Here is why this is an important story:
1. The Australians were so alarmed by Papadopoulos’ claims that they took it to the FBI. Papadopoulos’ revelations show Trump team knew about Russian attack on DNC and did nothing. Instead, the DJT team met with representatives of the Russian government in June 2016 seeking dirt on Hillary Clinton.
2. FBI’s Russia probe wasn’t prompted by the Dossier. That rebuts a critical GOP talking point that has been repeated by the mainstream media.
3. The meeting between the DJT team and the Russians at Trump Tower in June 2016 now makes more sense. Remember when the DJT team told us this meeting was about adoptions? Why did they lie about this meeting? .
This also calls into question the NY Times’ reporting during the fall of 2016. The NY Times reported that Clinton was under investigation for the phony email “scandal” but the NY Times ran a piece in October that denied Trump was under investigation.
These revelations also further discredit former FBI Director James Comey. It was Comey’s eleventh hour letter on Clinton’s emails that opened the door to Trump’s controversial and tainted victory in the electoral college but Comey never revealed that Trump was under investigation for possible collusion with Russia.
Hopefully, we will get some answers to these questions from the Muller investigation and the potential Democratic Congressional majority in 2019

Democrats NEED 2020
|
I am a sixteen-year-old Democrat—in fact, I consider myself a proud Democrat—who believes in everything from protecting our climate to reforming the criminal justice system. Beginning in the summer of 2016, I—then a fourteen-year-old Democrat—interned for Congressman Brad Schneider where I learned the behind-the-scenes operations of how a campaign functions.
Leading up to the 2016 presidential election, I spent nearly ten hours each week calling voters, interacting with constituents face-to-face, and attending political events held throughout my community (each of the tasks I was assigned all ran in conjunction with the Hillary for America campaign). The weekly interactions I had with voters were not the prettiest; in fact, I was exposed to the bitter and biting political arena often pervaded with gratuitous name-calling and inflammatory rhetoric.
Amid the criticism that many constituents expressed towards me and the candidates I chose to support, I was optimistic about Hillary Rodham Clinton (Hillary) becoming the first woman President of the United States. I would spend my spare time scrolling through the polls on Real Clear Politics (RCP) where Hillary would lead all the polls and watching Wolf Blitzer’s show on CNN at five o’clock at night where political experts predicted Hillary would win. To me, and countless other analysts, pollsters, and American citizens, it seemed inevitable that Hillary would become the 45th President of the United States.
But, we were all mistaken come the night of November 8th where a new reality would approach Democrats and America: all three branches of the government controlled by Republicans.
Like everyone who tirelessly supported Hillary and fought for her campaign and ideals, the morning of November 9th was a somber moment for all of us. I found myself sitting in my World History, with my earbuds on, watching Hillary’s concession speech to her supporters. Watching Hillary’s concession speech from an iPad, I found myself defeated and discouraged by the loss of such a respected woman in America. I constantly thought to myself Where did I go wrong? What more could I have done? Why did Hillary lose? The audience watching Hillary’s speech in New York ran likewise with all of Hillary’s supporters across America: people were filled with tears and speechless over a stinging defeat.
Despite the obvious wretched occasion, Hillary would reassure her supporters that, as a country, in order for unity and solidarity to prevail, Democrats and Americans must try and wish the best for the Trump presidency. More importantly, Hillary reignited a fuel that was lost by many through underscoring that, as Democrats under a Trump presidency, we must fight for our values more than ever before.

Running Long Term Online Events — Lessons Learned From Groove of War #5 & #6
|
Writer’s note: This was originally meant to be published 6 months ago but was left in my drafts by mistake. I still think this is a useful read of where we were at before Groove of War 7 which will have its own article coming soon.
It’s hard to believe it’s been over a year since the last one of these. I guess time flies when you’re working on events. The past 12 months have been a bit of a rollercoaster in terms of both events and personal life.
I took a break from Groove of War that was originally meant to be permanent but came back after about 6 weeks. Since then, I’ve been handing off work to other staff members where possible to spread the workload around.
We ran Groove of War 5, which was a long event that ended up lasting around 3 months. It was a lot of fun, but we ran into a number of issues that caused delays in the middle of the event. We then ran Groove of War 6 afterward, which solved some issues while bringing in a few of its own.
Don’t run really long, single events
There were a number of issues with this in the case of GoW5. One of the maps in the map pool had to be pulled in the middle of the event, resulting in a delay while we made changes to the ruleset. We also made a mistake while doing these changes, which caused further issues.
The remaining maps also had balance issues and the length of the event gave players plenty of time to push those as far as possible. We still had a great top 8 despite this, but it was extremely stressful to run.
Staff burnout is real too. After 3 months of constantly running an event and dealing with the issues that come with that, there was some much-needed downtime afterwards. Ideally, after an event ends there should be minimal downtime before details for the next event are announced. In the case of Groove of War 5, we were a bit exhausted and needed time to post details up.
We moved away from the single event model in Groove of War 6 and it worked much better. The main pain point was the Swiss event that ran for 2 months and to no surprise, had some similar issues because of the length of the event.
Automation is a wonderful thing
One thing that has been eye-opening as we have improved the technology behind the scenes is just how much manual work was being done for every event. Whether it was uploading videos, handling player bans, setting up player lobbies, recording replays on top of live broadcasts. The number of hours per week doing busywork is pretty incredible to look back at in retrospect.
2021 saw a revamp to the ranked ladder system that has been quite the success. The matchmaking bot was updated to handle player bans as well, something that has been a pain point for both players and admins. There is still work to be done on this front, but maintaining a ranked system that is tied into the Groove of War series has been a much more positive experience than I had originally thought.
Another thing this has highlighted is that having an automated ranked system does a better job than what the Swiss event was intended to cover. Swiss was meant to offer a low barrier of entry event that was open to everyone and rewarded people simply for taking part. While it did this to an extent, people would drop out mid-event or just be unable to play every week. The ladder on the other hand allows people to participate at their own pace while still being serious competition.
It’s OK to make cuts if it makes running events more manageable
One of the more positive personal changes that happened going from GoW5 to GoW6 was cutting a large amount of live game broadcasting. While live broadcasts are well-loved and offer a unique viewing experience, they also require a large time investment. Not only a time investment in the broadcast, but sometimes I would be making unhealthy changes to my sleep schedule and post-broadcast work for live sets would increase. We would also get requests for replay versions on top of the full broadcast.
Going from live broadcasts to replays was one of the best decisions we have made. My sleep schedule has stayed relatively better, I’ve had more free time to work on other things. That said I’ve also used a lot of this free time to slack off, so that will need to change for the better too. Live broadcasts can be saved for finals and the game lobbies are open to those who wish to set up their own live-viewing experience.
It should be said though, we also did less promotion for Groove of War 5 and I think that hurt us too. The shift in the structure made it difficult to know when releasing the trailer would make sense. I think we have a better idea of how to promote going forward, but it was still a misstep to not cover that base well. There was also some staff absence in this area too, but that should hopefully improve going forwards.
Exam seasons are a thing
This one is pretty simple. We ran the Groove of War 5 main event during exam season and it caused problems. Dropouts and players being unable to practice for the event were both issues. In future, we’re looking to shift the finals of each year by 2–3 months so they would be in March/September instead of May/November.
Keep formats simple
With Groove of War 6 (and 5 to some extent), the format was overall very complex. A multitude of qualifiers mixed with a not quite standard double-elimination format. The reasoning for this made sense at the time and we’d likely make the same choice again in the same circumstances. That said, circumstances have changed. Our qualifiers will be simpler going forward which frees up time to run standard double elimination for the main event.
The end of the pandemic will cause more issues to running events than the pandemic itself did
I should qualify that I am by no means saying the Covid-19 pandemic is a positive thing and that the world returning to normal is overwhelmingly a good thing. I also realise that this only applies to parts of the world with widespread vaccine distribution and am thankful to be living in a country that is doing relatively well in that regard.
That said, it is important to recognise the impact that it’s having on us as event organisers. As the world is opening up, suddenly the option to see family and friends is important to a lot of staff. I haven’t seen most of the people in my life in over 18 months now, so now that the opportunity is here, I’ll be taking time to do so.
It also isn’t really a choice at times either, since you can’t exactly turn around to family you haven’t seen in months or even years and say no. This won’t last forever, but there’s definitely going to be a level of social catchup that will happen over the next 3–6 months.
So what comes next
So for those that made it this far and are looking for specific information on what is coming next since we’re clearly making some changes.
The ladder season that leads into the second qualifier for Groove of War 7 has started, including a new map pool. Ladder seasons will include monthly participation prizes going forward too as TYM no longer requires as much prize support. Groove of War 7 ladder qualifier 1 should be later this July. A new Test Your Mettle event will be coming up soon, with a number of maps to be tested. Groove of Nations will be announced later in July and start in August. The event page is one of the things I’ll be working on after finishing this article. Groove of War 7’s main event will last 2 months, likely starting in late October and ending in December. Running more events such as map-making events and meme contests. There will be an event in January-March that will serve to shift the Groove of War schedule back by 3 months to solve the issue of finals taking place during exam season and December. Possibly with the inclusion of the Advance Wars sequel as a second event, but details on this aren’t close to being final. Planning on this event will take place once Groove of Nations is finalised. Continuing the make changes to the event structure of Groove of War going forward. The 6-month structure with qualifiers and the main event seems sound, so it hopefully should stay fairly stable from this point onwards. Maybe a live-event meetup at some point. Most likely at an existing esports event with space for people to run some kind of side event. At some point, we will have to prepare for whatever “Moregroove” is, but that is far down the priority list.
So that’s all folks. There’s a lot of work to be done, but we know what it is. We should have announcements for these as they come up too which will be on the Groove of War social media and on the Wargroove discord.

7 TIPS & TECHNIQUES FOR THE ‘HEADLINES’ THAT WILL CAPTURE YOUR AUDIENCE’S ‘ATTENTION’
|
HEADLINES THAT STEAL ‘ATTENTION’:
Attention of the audience is at the utmost priority; If we are unable to capture the audience’s attention in the first place we can’t do anything else. We do live in the world with a lot of distractions. There is a lot of competition for our time and attention.
Headline is the Most important aspect of attention. If you want anything to work the headline should work first.
The most important job of the headlines is to get the audience’s attention & get them to read the first few sentences.
The job of the first few sentences is to keep them reading the content.
It is considered a best practice to write your headline first.
So before you write a piece of content, sit down & knock out some ideas for headlines. You may adapt the piece after you have completed it.
First tip for writing the headline is to borrow it:
In other words you can creatively adapt the great headlines which are already out there in the market.
You can take a look at headlines from popular magazines in general; consider looking at headlines they put out on magazine covers.
The headlines on the magazines are crafted in such a way that the headlines will get people to pick their magazine in the book store, the newspaper stall & bring it home. Headlines are very important for the magazines so they are crafted by their most experienced writers & editors for the job of getting the right headlines on the cover & headlines for the popular magazines tend to work even better.
The best way to adapt a headline is by going to magazines that are in a different genre than your topics.
If your topic is fitness & weight loss then don’t go to men’s health. Go to something completely opposite. If you use headlines from the same topic magazine , then you will end up with similar kinds of headlines that are not going to stand out, and headlines have to stand out to get clicked on.
You can also check out the sites which get heavy traffic from social media.
Keep adapting until it does not feel too dopey:
Each scenario is different and every organisation is different & so a headline that would work really well for a smaller blog will often feel a little too hyped at a famous blog.
Each scenario calls for a unique ‘WWWHOT‘ formula.
W hich — certain words do well
hich — certain words do well W hat — posts get shared
hat — posts get shared W atch — what does well
atch — what does well H ow — how many emails get opened
ow — how many emails get opened O bserve — your audience
bserve — your audience Test — headlines
TIPS & TECHNIQUES FOR THE HEADLINES :
1. Numbers in headlines :
A number in headlines just compels the audience’s brain that makes them curious to know more. Numbers are specific & specificity almost and always works better to get attention on headlines than vagueness.
We are most curious about the specificity than we are about the vague. You can use extremely specific numbers.
Instead of 70 % in your headline go with something like 70.42%
2. Include a benefit or a promise in the headline to help boost traffic :
Make the reader aware about what to expect from your content by reading the headline. Mention inconvenience that your audience is facing & provide solutions.
Mention what’s in it for readers, what they have become, will turn into, improve as a result of reading your content.
3. Don’t make the promises that you can’t keep :
Don’t make a click bait headline, just to get views. such an action will discredit your brand value in the reader’s mind.
like many click bait social media sites do. Headlines should match the content. Make sure that headline is writing a cheque that your content can cash.
4. Your headline needs to be clear rather than clever :
If the headline is confusing in any way & particularly if they don’t understand the benefit, they will not click on it.
You are much better off with a headline that is specific & useful than a headline that uses a lot of curiosity.
Headlines with a direct benefit do well, anything confusing does not do well.
People choose articles with clear headlines over confusing ones.
5. Urgency :
sometimes it works, sometimes it does not.
If there is an urgency element ( for example you are writing a piece of content for something that does have a deadline) the urgency element needs to be in your headline to convey it & communicate it.
Don’t be shy about that. If you have an element of urgency always go with the deadline.

Tea and Biscuits at The Ashes
|
MCG, Melbourne, Day 3: All done in 81 devastating minutes and The Ashes are firmly remaining with a rampant Australia.
England 68 all out. Australia win by an innings and 14 runs and take an unassailable 3 match lead in the 5 Test Match Series.
Before we delve into the nitty gritty of the day’s play, can I direct you to (1) the reason why I’m sitting up through the night watching Test Match cricket and (2) my blogs from Days 1 and 2 of this, the 3rd Test Match:
I’ll commence this brief re-cap of the day’s play by reiterating the simple truth I ended last night’s blog with: Today was all or nothing for England and with their Marquee batting stars of Joe Root and Ben Stokes at the wicket they needed to bat as long as possible and hope to gain a 120 lead for their bowlers to attack. They needed to bat until at least the Tea Break.
They, and the team led by Captain Root, didn’t even make it to the Lunch Break. It was all a rather sadly predictable and painful 81 minutes. Here are the key moments:
11.52pm BEN STOKES bowled Starc (11).
Stokes had started positively with two beautiful drives for 4 before Mitchell Starc got a fantastic delivery to duck in between his defence and rock back the middle stump. Stokes was slightly hesitant with his forward defensive but Starc’s delivery was perfection. England have added 15 runs so far but are on the brink at 46–5.
12.20am and Jonny Bairstow gets a “life” as Cameron Green, so octopus like at Gully, drops a fast chance and for only the 2nd or 3rd occasion in the Ashes so far, the Australians make a mistake and drop a catch. Bairstow’s reprieve would last a further 3 minutes.
12.23am JONNY BAIRSTOW lbw bowled Boland (5).
On his home ground, Scott Boland was about to have a cricketing fairy tale for the next half an hour of his life and he started with a beautiful delivery that struck Bairstow’s back pad and despite reviewing the decision, Bairstow was out and England were rocking at 60–6 and only 53 minutes into the day’s play.
12.33am JOE ROOT caught Warner bowled Boland (28).
I wrote at length in yesterday’s blog with the recurring theme for England over generations, the Deja Vu of a batting collapse and an English surrender, and here we had the batting collapse in full effect and a wicket on the cusp of an organised break. Again. Deja Vu. Again. Boland had his cricketing “tail up” and was pounding in and delivered a beauty to the England Skipper who had to play and edged to Warner at 1st slip. Root had batted well. Again. But as wickets tumbled all around him (again) his prized wicket was snagged by local hero Boland, who now had the ridiculous bowling figures of 4 wickets for just 5 runs!
12.33am Drinks Break. England 61–7 and still 20 runs behind Australia’s first innings. Thoroughly depressing stuff. Unless of course you were Scott Boland.
12.41am MARK WOOD caught and bowled Boland (0).
Wood cracked his 3rd delivery straight at an oncoming Boland who made a difficult return catch look as easy as shelling the proverbial pea and he now had the astounding bowling figures of 5 wickets for 5 runs! England were 65–8 and it was all rather embarrassing. Unless your name was Scott Boland.
12.44am OLLIE ROBINSON caught Labuschagne bowled Boland (0).
Robinson lasted just two deliveries and the second was a peach that he edged to Labuschagne and Boland snagged an unbelievable 6th wicket and still for the cost of just 5 runs. Ridiculous boyhood dreams stuff and I was made up for him. On his home ground and with family watching from the stands, bravo Scott Boland. Just bravo.
Australia were 7 minutes away from winning The Ashes.
12.51am JIMMY ANDERSON bowled Green (2).
And with the off stump pinging back and the bails flying through the Melbourne air, Australia had won. In two days and 81 minutes.
Two days and 81 minutes of a scheduled 5 day Test Match. And Australia won by an innings and 14 runs and about as comprehensively as can be imagined.
Hero of the Hour. Local Hero. And Man of the Match: Scott Boland. His bowling figures of 4 Overs 1 Maiden 6 Wickets for 7 Runs is boyhood dreams stuff. Bravo. Picture courtesy of www.perthnow.com.au
You can dare to hope before a ball is bowled but the weight of 34 years of history and the current tour scars signalled England stood no chance, but to fall on their batting swords in just 81 minutes and to lose by an innings with the entire Ashes Series at stake speaks volumes. In Australian conditions and with the “condition” of the current England Test team, there is a chasm between themselves and their Hosts. Australia have chopped and changed and given debuts to Richardson and here with local hero Scott Boland but have still dominated and won every day of play and nearly every session therein. England have 3 maybe 4 players anywhere near remotely being in form. Australia have 9/10 and are interchanging with more quality players in every game and are utterly relentless and ruthless.
On to Sydney in the New Year and we can all hope that the invisible blight on all our lives evades the bubbles and the protocols and we see the scheduled 4th Test in this Series of five. A 5–0 whitewash looks almost an inevitability and despite the Aussies now having an unassailable 3–0 lead they will not be resting on their laurels. It’s not in the Australian character. What is: Grinding your opponent into the dust and inflicting scars that take a long time to heal. They’ll be gunning for England in the New Year and that makes for some more exciting cricket.
Count me in.

Follow the below steps on How to win in Dream11
Prepare team that is not common. Usually the team of players selected by the price parts. Create a team that would be unusual.
Choose an unusual captain. This is a bit risky. Choose not have implemented a captain, the good players, but. He would play the next game to prove his point. Or choose a player who captian creating a backup your team.
Pick bowlers than batsmen captain / VC. serve Bowler point more than they take doors.
There are several teams in a game. This allows you to take different captain and opportunities increased.
Participate in small leagues, which gives you money in the future contestant.
You win if your own experience.
I do not think it’s a trick, or I not. But the 2–3 months using now, and I have learned the following
Never connect the competition with more than 20 members. Don’t by winning the award for the great competition never tear you can win.
Participate in the competition, which is more than one winner (for example 60rs competition that, with 20 members and 5 winners). This will ensure that even if you are not a good team, reduce loss
not hope to win every day.
Play regularly. Consider the 60rs league with 20 members, even if you are 1.5 times winner 200Rs profit.
Do not take if you have no knowledge, not about this game.
Follow the team in social media to get news of any changes in the game

Fantasy Cricket Dream11 Prediction
We all know that competition has been very difficult in today’s Dream11 and win in smaller competitions, is now difficult. Still not lost all hope. You will find that many people still regularly win Dream11. So what is their secret sauce? What is their strategy? They are not super happy, they work hard and pursue a strategy that helps them more often to win than not. All five tricks that win regularly in Dream11, MyTeam11 or other fantasy sports hep.
Do you know the players?
First of all, you must know the players in and out, so you can bring the key players who will probably also perform. You have to do in-depth research to find the right players. Your sources can be places Cricbuzz, ESPNcricinfo, analyzes of teams and social media like Youtube, Twitter, and blogs sites. Above all, you go to pick players who play in the last 11 and are not violated. Then, of course, you must work hard.
Do you know the pitch and the weather?
You must be from the Word Field aware of it is a high score Hahn, neutral spinners or fast bowlers or to help. Of course, not help, friendly in a batting pitch five bowlers picking. In addition, some players play very well in certain reasons such as Rohit Sharma has a special taste for Eden Gardens.
Another important factor is true. If the cold and moisture is closer through the morning, but a warm and dry weather helps spinners more. You should be aware when there is a chance excited at stimulates overs being withdrawn and corresponds especially in the case of T20, just above, to get the bat and strike bowlers generalists and more than batsmen.
Choose the right pair of captain and vice-captain.
This is, of course, the most important and difficult part of the fantasy game. If these two players are the trump card, the game changer. Needless to say, if you do not do well captain or vice-captain or worse not so your chances of winning drop to play. Again, the above two factors play an important role of captain and vice-captain in picking. But you can not really say that the best Tamar or bowler will perform in the side and on a given day or not. So it is totally dependent on luck. But also the minor leagues, you can take a few proven steps to choose your captain and VC -
If it’s a batsmen-friendly pitch starts as Tamar discussed as captain and a good all-rounder if your VC.
If it’s a bowler-friendly pitch begins to frontline bowler is like a captain and a good all-rounder if your VC.
If a neutral court, choose two good all-rounders or two in-form Tamar as captain and VC.
For large series, however, you must be adventurous, if you go with the popular choice, and then you will languish in the 1000 ranking, even if you captain and vice-captain has also thousands of others have chosen. So you need someone does not get as famous or a good player who is out of shape and not elected through a lot and hope that the guys that day.
If you have a solution, choose your captain, you can make use of his captain CricPick Selector in our forecast Dream11 posts to get an idea of where people gather captain and then your calls based on your own intuition.
Join competitions where you are much your chances of winning.
As a fantasy player’s dream for each of mega-competition or Grand-league is to win and win the jackpot. But be aware that with the fact that there are thousands of others who are also trying their luck every day. So your chances of winning are less than 0.001%. And besides, in these meetings is the winner lion’s share of the gain. If you are not in the top 5, and then you will always lose money in the end. To play only one more competition cannot be recommended. You have to play smaller contests where your chances of winning are higher. We propose to join 11 members competing with two teams of 20 members compete with three teams, but playing a string advice head to head.

Wondering Why You Should Choose AK Clinics For Your Hair Transplant? Here’s Why!
|
Getting a hair transplant in Bangalore is not a decision that you should take lightly — firstly, this is a surgical procedure, which means that you need to put a good amount of thought into whether you want to get this procedure done or not. Additionally, this is not a procedure that you choose to get done on a whim because it could literally make or break the way you look. If you have serious hair loss and are seeing bald spots, you could possibly be a candidate for a transplant, but it is imperative that you first meet with an expert and get a proper and official diagnosis for the same.
If you have been told by a hair restoration or hair transplant surgeon that you are a good candidate for a transplant, your next step needs to be choosing a good clinic and that for most people, would be the greatest task of all. Thankfully, there are a few hair transplant clinics that have been able to establish a good name for themselves, courtesy of the talent and experience of the doctors and the services they offer. If you are in Bangalore, AK Clinics would be an apt choice for you and there are several reasons why you should consider this clinic for your transplant.
· The very foundation of a successful transplant lies in the hands of a quality hair transplant surgeon and at AK Clinics, you get the best of the best. With world-renowned hair transplant expert, Dr Kapil Dua at the helm, this is a place where some of the most talented and experienced hair restoration specialists practice their craft. When you walk into the clinic for the very first time, you will not be asked to sign up for any procedures. Rather, you will be given a thorough examination, post which you will be privy to a consultation, where all the options will be discussed with you and the best course of action will be charted out.
· Should you be an ideal candidate for a transplant, you will be advised about the appropriate one for you — is your hair loss diffused and more in the vein of an overall thinning, FUE might be a better choice for you. FUT would be suggested to you if you have large bald spots or need a larger number of grafts. In the hands of a really experienced doctor, you will have little to worry about, because they will be able to gauge the appropriate procedure for you with ease and ensure that it is completed with efficiency and efficacy.
· A high-quality hair transplant surgeon will not be able to achieve much if they don’t have access to the right tools, equipment and machines. At AK Clinics, patients have access to some of the most modern machines, which ensure that your procedure is completed with ease and speed as well.
· While most regular clinics will offer you only basic procedures, at AK Clinics, you get to choose from a huge array of options — so while the traditional and most popular FUE and FUT are offered, there is also the option of Bio FUE, a state of the art procedure that has been created and developed in house at AK Clinics. This procedure brings the finesse of an FUE and adds the healing and rejuvenating powers of PRP therapy as well. Moreover, there are procedures such as scalp micro pigmentation and even Giga sessions on offer at AK Clinics.
· Even the most talented surgeon will not be able to complete a hair transplant in Bangalore without a support staff that is just as well trained and experienced. At AK Clinics, there is an army of trained technicians and support staff, who ensure that every transplant procedure is completed with extreme care and immense efficiency.
In case you are still wondering whether you should choose AK Clinics for your procedure or not, talk to us or walk into our clinics and allow us to clarify all your doubts.

When relatives point out your flaws — what do you do?
|
→ What I did to find “the cure?”
Well, first of all, I doubt that there is a cure. The reason is that everyone’s bodies are different. What worked for me will not necessarily work for you. But, I consulted doctors. YES, PLURAL. DOCTORS. Talk to different dermatologists and hair specialists. Compare their recommendations. Do your own research based on those recommendations.
Do not go to a family doctor, a doctor with no degree, an old practitioner who might not have a useful solution to your problem.
→ Is there a process to get better?
My advice here is to go with the flow. Keeping in mind that there are positive results, follow that direction. If the doctor says no to oiling hair, then don’t. If advised against certain shampoos, then do not apply those. However, keep asking questions and keep giving feedback to your doctors.
→ How to deal with the shame and sadness?
This is a tough road to go down on. You try and try, yet; things fall apart occasionally. And when they do, it is completely okay to get upset. But you have to remind yourself that it is not your fault. You have to keep hoping that things will get better, if not the same.
Aaaaand ignore these relatives who have done a Ph.D. in pointing out everyone’s flaws while ignoring their own.
Thank you for reading! ^-^

permanent hair growth
Never underestimate this point, as it is one of the most dangerous things that cause hair damage, severe dryness, and fibrosis. Regular bathing water (tap) is harmful by all standards, and it is assumed that it is not suitable for drinking or bathing, because it contains many impurities and elements harmful to the body, on top of which is chlorine.
Chlorine damages to hair Strips hair of its natural oils Causes hair breakage and damage Reduces the percentage of keratin protein in the hair It hurts the scalp and causes dryness, dandruff, and inflammation It leads to dry hair and loss of hair It leads to hair loss and split ends and prevents hair from growing Alternatives to bathing water (shower) The suggested alternatives to regular bathing water are very easy and easily obtainable Isolate the hair from the shower water during the bath and wash the hair with a bottle of mineral water Fill bottles of filtered water at home and wash your hair with them at the time of the shower, as an alternative to ready mineral water Installing a filter (filter) on the showerhead to purify it

About the Western progressist neoliberalism and the “new enlightened despotism” as a tool against emerging third world countrys — The case of Brazil.
|
It is true that the most reactionary part of Brazilian society does not care about the environment, and encourages fires, illegal logging, and illegal mining, as a way to increase economic productivity, as they sell to the foreign market. Most of these products manage to leave the country legally, mainly agricultural products, due to the corruption of Brazilian public agents through large amounts of foreign currency, by the way, a fact that has long been known and explored by several multinational companies of developed countries. This is, again, not an internal problem, but the relationship of the subordinate landlord Brazilian ruling class with the ruling class of developed countries.
But this does not even remotely represent the history of this country or most of its population. Brazil is one of the countries, if not the leader in this regard, that has protected its environment and its forests. Even in its most absurd and reactionary periods, it never polluted and deforested in the same proportion as any of the developed countries that use the environmental discourse today, as to a real issue, but with a deviation of purpose, based on one-dimensional arguments, without temporality, and, therefore, fraudulent.
This way of thinking the problem used in recently argumentation about the “internationalization” of Brazilian Amazon, of course, follow the logic of civilized vs barbarian, camouflaged as a progressive and humanitarian environmental issue. Even so, because of the desire to feel superior, dozens of progressives from developed countries appear to buy perfectly this rhetoric that is a superstructural necessity to justify the massacre and robbery over Brazilian heads and territory. After all, that when, overnight, fed like a guided horde from tabloids that appear to have progressive rhetoric but defend imperialist prey, dozens of young hedonists, arrogant and alienated about their situation became profound connoisseurs of the history of the struggles of third world people, their history and their culture to the point of being able to issue a coherent opinion on a subject that they do not know anything about.
Much of Bolsonaro’s ideology is the result of the ideology of the right-wing military and the Brazilian ruling class that prevailed more ostensibly between the years 1960 to 1985, which with the military, economic, and ideological help of the US, imposed a bloody military dictatorship that lasted for 21 years(1964–1985), just to prevent structural reforms carried out by the nationalist left together with the masses in the economy, society and in the land division. This coup was aimed only to keep Brazil in a submissive condition and linked to the North American geopolitical strategy for the cold war. It was, of course, an agreement between both the ruling classes of such countries, in which only the executioner, that is, the military, is still to blame, while the mastermind, that is, the ruling class of developed countries, especially the US, goes on and continue to “spread democracy across the globe” because it is a more “civilized country”.
That is why it is strange that anyone really thinks, publicizes, or propagates that there is any real problem between US strategy for South America and the current Brazilian government, and therefore, between the governments of both countries, when in a vexatious and pathetic way, even though they deplore the current US president, the supporters of Bolsonaro and the extreme-right are the greatest Americanophiles in all Brazilian territory. Such nonsense could only come from someone dishonest or without critical recourse. Yet it is, and as astonishing as it sounds, this is exactly what the foreign policy coverage of most developed country’s newspapers seems to want us to believe.
Supporters of Bolsonaro, as always, parading around with the North-American flag.
Those who think that Bolsonaro, his ideology, his followers, and allies are just “trumpists”, or tools of “trumpism” in Latin America, are also wrong. Worse than that, this way of thinking about the problem only deceives people on a large scale, in the case of big western media outlets. Bolsonaro and his crew believe they are following US interests in the region, precisely because their ideology is based on the US ideology for Latin America during the cold war that is being revitalized in what the Brazilian political scientist Moniz Bandeira called “The second cold war” between the US and his allies and China and Rússia and their allies. This is not a matter of government policy, but a matter of state policy. They believe from the bottom of their hearts that Brazil has to be linked to North American defense and State doctrine and policy for Latin America. Because of that, even if they hate Joe Biden and the left-liberals of the USA, they will continue with their original plan that always was: automatic alignment with the American State policy.
Bolsonaro during the Brazilian Independence Holiday. Isn’t it strange how much he salutes and carries the North-American flag around?
It would be hilarious to see such newspapers, many linked to progressive liberal thinking, to try to explain to their audiences why the Brazilian extreme right-wing and Bolsonaro supporters march in the streets carrying USA flags, I would enjoy watching then explaining why Bolsonaro supporters carry banners written in English begging for a new North American coup in alliance with Brazilian military against “communism” in the South American country, I would enjoy watching then explaining why Bolsonaro saluted the American flag and sang “U.S.A, U.S.A” genuinely and pathetically like a child fascinated by Hollywood movies when before being elected doing a pre-election campaign in the USA for American businessmen.
Bolsonaro fans, as always, write their coup messages also in English so they can be understood by their first world idols.
Yes, Bolsonaro and his supporters are pigs, they are uncivilized and they are ugly to behold in their ignorance. But make no mistake, they are more than useful for the interests of both, the local ruling class, internationally submissive, and its main hierarchical superior, the empire and its tentacles and strategic allies. While fulfilling the strategic interests of developed countries for the region, as subordinate vassals without any love for Brazil or notion of national sovereignty, they still take all the blame for this, and developed countries still have the opportunity to criticize a situation in which they are more than participants, but accomplice and main beneficiaries. They manage to profit twice from the Brazilian tragedy by reversing the complete failure of such a puppet government implemented in the presidency of Brazil in a cruel politically correct “soft power”.
After the 2008 crisis, the political organization of Latin America changed drastically. The policy of coups and regime-change operations carried out by the US and its allies in Latin America was abruptly intensified by the need to remove Latin American governments, as in the case of the Workers’ Party in Brazil, following not a socialist, but mild left-liberal tendencies alongside with orthodox macroeconomics, which suffered a congress coup in 2016 and had their biggest name illegally arrested since an espionage scandal and lawfare blatantly favorable to the US, or utopian socialists of a nationalist and pan-Latin American character, ie, Bolivarian, as is the case of MAS in Bolivia, which suffered a military coup but it has already re-established itself, and from the PSUV in Venezuela, which has been under enormous external pressure for a long period of years.
bolsonaro fans also often carry neo-Nazi symbols from Ukraine, a country currently on the far right after undergoing a process of “regime change” by the US and the European Union, and with whom Bolsonarists and the far right in Brazil have strong relations.
Look at the attempted agreement between the European Union and MERCOSUR, this is something that most overthrown, or disorganized and pressured governments belonging to the South American bloc would never accept under normal conditions. But with Bolsonaro at the head of Brazil, and a small wave of right-wing liberal rulers, such an agreement so harmful to the development of the South American economy, as it deepens its technological dependence, became an object of desire for the South American liberal right and it did not take long, turned into an object of blackmail and harassment in the negotiation by part of the European nations, taking advantage of a moment of disorganization on the continent to force the approval of an agreement, which had been shelved for years, now in terms more than beneficial to them. Almost like kicking a drunk that makes really bad choices after supporting him to drink.
The case of Brazil is representative, not only because the country is the geopolitical leader of the region, but because the country did not even really challenged the North American ideological hegemony in reality, on the contrary, it defended many of its assumptions, mostly in economics, which in large part it frustrated most of the Brazilian radical left throughout the more than ten years of the Workers’ Party government. Even so, the Workers’ Party was hit, because to the Empire, its allies, and the big corporations, the proposal of progressive soft-neoliberalism for the third world of such party was insufficient after the 2008 crisis. At the time Brazil preached friendly relations with the USA and the European Union, although a founding member of the BRICS alongside China, Russia, India, and South Africa, the country, therefore, so the country was also an important point of balance between the interests of the West and the most important contestants of the current order, Russia and China.
But to compete with China and the transition from the economic pole of capitalism to Asia, the US, its corporations, and a good part of European countries and their multinationals, wishes for Latin American countries a model government that represses, exploits, and intensify for the countries of Latin America the exploitation of resources and labor in their territory without even sweetening the pill or trying to hide such treachery towards their peoples. Even though they hide their intentions with occasional progressist rhetoric their intentions are usually not that nice. Such as the case of the North American President, Joe Biden, which, by the way, was personally involved in the US espionage case against Petrobrás that took place in 2013, one of the pivots for lawfare against left-wing in Brazil, which since then took place under the creative name of operation “carwash”. This is because central countries need to increase their extraction of surplus-value, expanding productivity in their zones of influence outside their territories, where under capitalism in its current decentralized format and aimed at rapid financial flows, most of the resources are extracted and it is most of the workforce.
This happens in such a way because, even if the central countries encourage a philosophically idealistic ideology and, therefore, illusory, which speaks of decolonizing languages, they effectively continue to colonize, in material reality, an endless number of peoples and nations. What is this that is happening in Brazil if not a proxy neo-colonial policy?
Since the 80’s of the 20th century, after the decline of the USSR and the communist world, the process commonly mistakenly called by the name of globalization, but which in fact is just the financialization and total fluidity of capital and information flows restricted to control of the ruling class as just demonstrated in the recent refugee issue, intensified. It is common for developed countries to take advantage of the enormous economic, military, diplomatic and state organizational disadvantage of third world countries, to use their multinational corporations as a weapon of war. At the same time, forcing the change of legislation, weakening regulations and labor laws, making the National-States of such third world countries act only to repress and discipline their working class, so that the large contingent of labor in developed countries is outside them, making them, in “thesis” safer against internal popular revolts in the heart of capitalism, while reaching artificial levels of productivity, appropriating such capital obtained from the effort, sacrifice and death of third world country’s populations. Needless to say, such a process makes the quality of life in such countries appalling, increases violence to an extreme, and encourages the worst possible people to assume economic, political, and military power in that subject nation.
This is exactly why the new ideology supporting imperialism in its progressive version of the XXI century is so cruel to observe when you are an inhabitant of an emerging country. It blames third-world countries for problems generated by the exploitation they suffer and uses modern forms of media to massify such thinking in a simple way, using prejudiced reasoning that developed countries historically know how to use very well to mobilize their populations towards their interests of economic and geopolitical dominance. The moral reasoning, arising from universalism and ethnocentric standardization, is that it is fair to intervene to “civilize” the barbarians.
Clearly, this rhetoric is, in realpolitik, an ingenious device for specific geostrategic purposes applied by developed countries, gestated within some of their largest corporations, who have in some cases even supported the greatest barbarities imaginable such as Nazism or the Brazilian Military Dictatorship, but today profit from social causes they don’t care about, in cooperation with a good part of the establishment, to replicate in material reality a State policy developed from 200 years of imperialism.
Even if at the same time camouflaging themselves by making rhetorical and ideological criticism of a distant period at the beginning of this whole process of colonization and imperialism this ideology is still purposefully insufficient in face of the criticisms of the greatest nationalist leftist theorists of the third world on the same subject made in the 20th century. At the same time effectively increases public support to interventions against third world countries, and obtains the support of progressist majorities of central countries alienated from reality by the power of capital as they believe more and more, deluded by the narcissus ideology, that it is fair to violate the national sovereignty of another country by moral principles most common to the western world, and therefore easily manipulated for economic purposes, even though a good part of such problems and distortions experienced by third world countries, such as violence and authoritarianism, is most of the time the result of the relationship that the ruling class of such a subject country has with the ruling classes from central countries of the capitalist system, that is, the developed countries.
For example, people from developed countries have a perception, by both political sides, left and right, that Latin America is too violent.
We often hear prejudiced comments about Latinos being violent, about drug trafficking, and about high rates of murders and kidnappings in Latin countries as if this could be only a matter of culture, coming from the political right of such countries. At the same time, we can hear the political left of such developed countries criticize the violence and authoritarianism of Latin American States. Both sides of the ideological spectrum in developed countries blame the Latin countries and mislead the economic relationship present in the process of violence that Latin America is experiencing.
They both don’t question which countries do all these drugs go to and what is the money that encourages all these deaths, moreover, they also don’t ask why the Latin American National States have become increasingly police-oriented, that is, the US international policy of the “war on drugs” imposed on Latin American countries is one of the greatest social disasters of the late twentieth century and it is responsible for, together with the police of each of these Latin countries, the death of a huge number of innocent citizens, guilty only of having been born poor and living in the “wrong” neighborhood, in the Brazilian case, mostly black young men.
Still, despite the obviousness of such a desperate situation, if you are a Third World inhabitant, you will continue to find “gringos” guiltily asking you about the problems of your country, and preaching like the Jesuits of modern colonization, as they bring you the good manners of the “civilized” world because you are a lucky “barbarian”. It is a sign of the times, and one of the cruelest features of the cultural superstructure of imperialism in the 21st century. And it continues to happen, again and again, until the idea becomes hegemonic, the lie becomes the truth and it is the turn of an entire suffering people to be plundered in material reality for the benefit and prosperity of the developed world.
IMPORTANT OBSERVATION: As it developed in a particular historical period, distinct from the European labor movement, the Latin American labor movement, despite being strongly influenced by what was happening abroad, especially with the revolution of 17 in Russia, often took very different directions and solutions of what happened in Europe and the USA.
One of the particular features here is a strong presence of utopian socialism. Some of the founders of the Brazilian socialist movement, for example, were readers of Owen, Fourier, St Simon, others were avid readers of anarchist authors. For this reason, the utopian conception of building socialism through elections, or with the support of the national bourgeoisie, or using the apparatus of the bourgeois state without a bigger rupture is common. Paradoxically, by direct action without revolutionary theory, if you are more influenced by anarchist readings.
The situation began to change after the Russian Revolution of 1917. Even so, as Brazilian theorist Darcy Ribeiro debates, much of the method of thinking used by a large part of working-class populations here comes from theology and mythological discourse.
As a result, the movements for national liberation and social justice are often linked to theological, mythological conceptions of a common future worth living, even though there is a failure in the conception of a path, in the construction of a theory and revolutionary strategy based on the material reality that allows left movements on that continent to take power and establish themselves trough a independent and socialist path.
The key to understanding this phenomenon is the economic dependence experienced by all these countries and the primarization of their economy. Even when declared socialist governments take power, using the bourgeois state apparatus without drastically altering it in an economic and political direction guided by scientific socialism, the mechanisms of economic dependence continue to operate like currents and often such governments fall, come under pressure or fail.
The case of MAS and PSUV is exactly this. Although there are socialist aspirations, a socialist political culture, there are great difficulties from a theoretical point of view precisely on the question of the contradiction of such aspiration with the analysis and practice in reality. The coup suffered by Morales reveals aspects of this problem. As many examples also teach us in the 20th century of Latin American history, as was the case of Brazilian President João Goulart, struck down with US help in 1964.
That doesn’t mean they’re necessarily bad, it’s not. This is not child criticism. As a Latin American Marxist, I believe that they fall better into the category of utopian socialists than into the category of social democrats or left-wing populists. Of course, they are not scientific socialists, that is, they are not Marxists, although they have readings of it. And, of course, nothing prevents them from heading towards scientific socialism, depending on their influence and the material situation in which they find themselves.

Opening the Brazilian Census
|
Photo by Kaique Rocha from Pexels
The Brazilian Census is done every 10 years and the last census happened in 2010. Because of budget restrictions and Covid-19, the census will only take place next year, in 2022. The Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE — Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística) is responsible for the official collection of Censo. So, the Censo is used in a lot of researches and there is a lot of microdata on IBGE’s website. Therefore, it is important to know how to work with microdata from scratch.
First of all, the microdata can be downloaded, as well as the documentation. There are four different txt files, households, emigration, mortality and people (domicílios, emigração, mortalidade e pessoas). I’m using ‘Amostra_Domicilios_26.txt’, which is the data for the households for the state of Pernambuco, although any state can be downloaded.
The first thing to do is to import the pandas library. Then, the numbers inside the ‘width’ command below equals the numbers from the INT + DEC columns from the data dictionary file called ‘Layout_Amostra_Microdados.xls’ on the ‘DOMI’ tab, where it can be downloaded on the documentation link already mentioned.
To open the microdata ‘fwf’ is used, which stands for fixed-width format. It’s a file format where the data is arranged in columns, so there’s the need to know how long each column is, that’s why the ‘width’ command was chosen. ‘Amostra_Domicilios_26.txt’ is the name of the text file, ‘header=None’, which means there will be no header, and ‘dtype=str’ sets the data type to string.
import pandas as pd
width = [2,5,13,8,3+13,1,2,3,2,1,2,2,1,6,4+5,1,2,2+1,2,2+1,1,1,1,2,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,2,1,1,
7,5+5,6+2,4+5,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1]
ibgecenso2010domiciliospe = pd.read_fwf('Amostra_Domicilios_26.txt', widths=width, header=None, dtype=str)
Whenever opening a dataset, it is important to know how many rows and columns the data has respectively, using the ‘shape’ command.
ibgecenso2010domiciliospe.shape (253677, 76)
The ‘head’ command shows the first five rows, however, I prefer to use head(3) sometimes, showing only the first three rows.
ibgecenso2010domiciliospe.head(3)
As already known from the ‘shape’ output, the data has 76 columns, and it’s only showing the first 3 rows.
Nevertheless, the columns need to be renamed, and each variable name comes from the data dictionary ‘Layout_Microdados.xls’ file, which is inside the documentation. Even after renaming the columns look in the data dictionary file to see what each variable means.
ibgecenso2010domiciliospe.columns=['V0001','V0002','V0011','V0300','V0010','V1001','V1002','V1003','V1004','V1006','V4001','V4002',
'V0201','V2011','V2012','V0202','V0203','V6203','V0204','V6204','V0205','V0206','V0207','V0208','V0209','V0210','V0211','V0212',
'V0213','V0214','V0215','V0216','V0217','V0218','V0219','V0220','V0221','V0222','V0301','V0401','V0402','V0701','V6529','V6530',
'V6531','V6532','V6600','V6210','M0201','M2011','M0202','M0203','M0204','M0205','M0206','M0207','M0208','M0209','M0210','M0211',
'M0212','M0213','M0214','M0215','M0216','M0217','M0218','M0219','M0220','M0221','M0222','M0301','M0401','M0402','M0701','V1005']
Not all columns were shown, if someone wants to see every column, the command below can be used.
pd.set_option('display.max_columns',None)
You can see that the 3 dots between the columns disappeared.
Although there are many columns with detailed data, none of the variables in this whole microdata has the census sectors. There are many types of research with census sectors information, and it’s not here because the census sectors are on separate data.
Census Sectors

The census sectors data are more detailed and there are smaller units than states and municipalities, like bairros and census sectors. Again, I am using the data for the state of Pernambuco, but the census sectors microdata can be downloaded for any state, and also the documentation can be downloaded.
The zip file contains 26 different CSV (and XLS) files, each file presents a lot of information about wage, race, sex, census sector, education, and much more. Within all the files, there are over 3200 variables!
Let’s open one of the files as an example:
Basico_PE = pd.read_csv('Basico_PE.csv')
Basico_PE.shape
(12379, 33)
This first file has 12379 rows and 33 columns. Using the ‘head’ command:
Basico_PE.head(10)
So, the first column has 15 digits, which is the ‘Cod_sector’, the census sector code. The table above is just from one of the 26 files, feel free to look at all the files with more than 3200 variables (columns), do not forget to look at the dictionary (‘BASE DE INFORMAÇÕES POR SETOR CENSITÁRIO Censo 2010 — Universo’) inside the documentation to see what each variable means.
Census Mersh
Photo by Pixabay from Pexels
Mesh of Enumeration Area or, simply Census Mesh, is mostly used for making maps and analyzing the census sectors. Once more, the census mersh for the state of Pernambuco is used. If anyone wishes to download another state, click on ‘Extensão’ (Extension), then on ‘SHP’, after that on ‘Malha de setores censitários’ (Mersh for Census Sectors’), then ‘2010’ and select the state you want. Let’s look at the file for Pernambuco by first importing the GeoPandas library:
import geopandas as gpd
pe_censusmersh = gpd.read_file('26SEE250GC_SIR.shp')
pe_censusmersh.shape
(12498, 14)
pe_censusmersh.head(3)
To make the map, the data above is merged with ‘Basico_PE’, the latter data was already mentioned before.
Basico_PE_merge_pe_censusmersh = Basico_PE.merge(pe_censusmersh, how='inner',left_on='Cod_setor',right_on='CD_GEOCODI', indicator=True)
The merge above used is ‘inner’ merge, to keep the common rows from both data, using the respective columns (Cod_setor, CD_GEOCODI) from each data (Basico_PE, pe_censusmersh). And ‘indicator=True’ shows the rows that were merged on both datasets if the merged row is from the left, right, or from both datasets.
Before making the map, there’s the need to convert the merged data frame into a GeoDataFrame, otherwise, the map won’t work.
from geopandas import GeoDataFrame
merged = GeoDataFrame(Basico_PE_merge_pe_censusmersh)
Also, import the library ‘matplotlib’ before making the map:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
f, ax = plt.subplots(1,figsize=(18, 18))
merged.plot(ax=ax, column='V005', legend=True, scheme = 'Quantiles',cmap='binary', edgecolor='k',
legend_kwds={'loc':'upper left', 'bbox_to_anchor':(1, 1), 'fmt':'{:.0f}'})
ax.set_axis_off()
ax.set_title('Monthly Average Nominal Income of Persons Responsible for Permanent Private Households', fontsize = 15)
plt.axis('equal')
plt.subplots_adjust(left=0.15, bottom=0.1, right=0.9, top=0.9, wspace=0.1, hspace=0.1)
plt.xlim(-41.5, -34.5)
plt.ylim(-12,-9.5)
fig.tight_layout()
plt.show()
As an example, the column ‘V005’ was used, and it represents the monthly average nominal income of persons responsible for permanent private households.

Investments in Brazilian Startups Reach New Heights in 2021
|
clique aqui para a versão em português
Looking back on this year’s Brazilian startup scene, we would be amiss not to mention the remarkable increase in investments we have witnessed. According to Distrito’s Inside Venture Capital, there were 677 rounds this year, totalling $8.85 billion until November. Compared to last year, the number is even more striking: the amount contributed so far in 2021 is three times greater than in 2020, with records broken for the number of startups that received contributions throughout the year.
Some sectors deserve to be highlighted; fintechs ($311 million in contributions), retailtechs ($268 mi), business and project management startups ($125 mi), foodtechs ($52 mi) and healthtechs ($31,3 mi).
Likewise, the Brazilian unicorns Loft and Nubank presented the most impressive numbers. The first made history when it led one of the biggest rounds ever held in the country ($425M) in March; in a cause-effect reaction, it joined the group of most valuable companies within the real estate industry outside the US and China. Meanwhile, Nubank has participated in two successful rounds this year, raising $750M and $400M, respectively.
According to Roberto Haddad, a leading partner (the lead partner/the leading partner) of private equity and venture capital at KPMG in Brazil, the country is already one of the key global hubs for differentiated entrepreneurs with high potential for success. For Haddad, private equity and venture capital funds are the ones responsible for making these businesses viable.

Apple Music on the Way to Revolutionizing Streaming Royalties
|
clique aqui para ler a versão em português
The issues streaming services face in regard to the fair attribution of music to rights holders and appropriate revenue distribution have been well-documented. There may be new possibilities on the horizon, though.
Having purchased Shazam, a smartphone app focused on music recognition, Apple Music announced in September that it would begin identifying songs in DJ mixes in order to pass royalties on to all involved; mixes made by common users are still off the radar for now.
The platform was already carving a different path to its competitors regarding its remuneration structure. While the company pays $0.01 per play, other names in the industry, like Spotify, continue to pay only fractions of a cent.
To trace future trends is a difficult task. Apple Music may be playing a pioneering role in proposing these new dynamics for Streaming platforms, after all, the mechanism used by Shazam can be replicated by the rest of the industry. But will these other companies have any interest or feel any obligation to do so? It is certainly an expectation of rights holders. We will have to wait and see.

Are Brazilian Men Incapable of Love?
|
I’d lived and loved in eight different countries and I’d never doubted that among (and often inside) assholes, players, and womanizers there was a loving man seeking a deep connection with a woman. And then I came to Brazil.
Having spent 1,5 year in the behemoth of São Paulo and half a year in the more provincial Northeast Region, I’ve ridden the emotional rollercoaster of Brazilian dating long enough to start pondering — are Brazilian guys incapable of love?
To put some light on the matter, let’s have a look at the three case studies from my own psychotic love life.
Case Study #1 Michael
Michael was a teacher in one of the best dance schools in São Paulo, where I happened to be doing salsa & zouk. I saw him for the first time dancing on the stage at the annual Dancing With the Stars event. The stars were the students themselves who’d practiced with their teachers for weeks for that one moment of glory.
I was amazed by Michael’s intimidating manliness and unforgiving sexiness. I complimented his moves, he complimented my curves. One dance with him left me dizzy and high on endorphins.
Then I saw him kiss a girl. I checked his FB. Yes, he was taken. “Oh well, that’s that. Plenty fish in the sea,” I thought.
But it was not over for him.
Suddenly, he would appear at the school canteen every Thursday after my class. “Why don’t you practice with me for the next event? Why don’t you come to my intensive bachata course on Saturday? Why don’t you give me your phone number?” And then I got that dick pic from him (surprisingly unimpressive, though).
“Enough!” I said. “It’s not right, Michael. You have someone.”
“No one has to know…” he calmed me down.
I stopped replying to his messages.
On the next ball at the school his hand “accidentally” slid across my butt during a spin. His girlfriend was in the room, I knew she was watching. I went to the bathroom to cool my body and mind down. “Why should I be the one to be a grown-up here?” I thought staring in the mirror. “I’m single, I want him, and I don’t even know his GF.”
“Would you want someone to do that to you?” I heard an annoying voice of wisdom in my head. I sighed.
When I opened the door, Michael was already there, waiting in the corridor. He kissed me before I could say a word. I released myself from his arms, both shocked and excited.
“Your girlfriend is here. Aren’t you afraid?” I asked.
“No,” he replied with a cocky smile. “We can’t fight it anymore, babe. We have to do it…”
I felt his strong arm around my waist and testosterone exploding from every pore on his brown skin.
“No,” I squealed with pretend confidence. A painful roar of the hungry animal in my womb pierced through my brain. Oh, how I desired that man! But not like that.
I left the party. His girlfriend’s big dead eyes drilled a hole in my neck.
Case Study #2 Valter
Going out with Valter was an act of desperation. The heartless São Paulo way of living, entrapping the young (and the not-that-young) in the endless loop of the single lifestyle, was already getting on my nerve. I’d just closed a long chapter of solo soul-searching across Southeast Asia. I wasn’t ready to lose it again! I wanted depth and meaning and connection with another human being… Not the bullshit of empty sex with no strings attached. A friend convinced me to search for my twin flame on Tinder (how appropriate). Legend has it that there are real couples who have met there. So I did something I’d promised myself to never ever do in my life — I swiped right.
What I loved the most about Valter’s profile was the total absence of shirtless shots. Quite the opposite, there was a green sweatshirt, a scruffy beard, dark Middle Eastern eyes, and a book in his hand (!). A few witty messages later he offered to be my guide at the bohemian Rua Augusta Street on Friday night. We crawled from one pub to another, sharing our thoughts on liquid love and our Ayahuasca visions. He put me in touch with the Ayahuasca people in São Paulo. He wouldn’t be able to go with me for the next ceremony, though. He was still on Prozac.
We smoked weed in his car and went to Jazz B, the coolest jazz place in town. Relaxed by the green magic, with an intriguing man leaning against my shoulder, I let the musicians play on the strings of my mind, on the keys of my heart. When he drove me back home I thanked him for the awesome date and kissed his cheek for goodbye. It took maybe a second too long but that was enough for his lips to find mine. We exploded into an uncontrollable vortex of lust, his hands everywhere, my face red and stinging from his beard. “Woah, woah, woah…” I gasped. “Now I reeeally have to go home. Good night!”
On the next morning I woke up like a little bird from the Snow White, a bird on cocaine, singing and dancing throughout her day. So love existed! Intelligent men with great taste in music and killer kissing skills existed! Hope was back and the best way to celebrate it was to treat myself to a falafel burger in my favorite veggie place. It was not on my way but who cares! What a beautiful day…
It was.
As I glided into the restaurant on the flying carpet of my delusion, guess who was already there queuing for the salad bar? Yes, Valter. Yes, with his girlfriend. Paralyzed, I stopped tweeting for a moment. But he kept a cool head and… invited me to eat with them. He was a true gentleman in the end.
So we ate that damn falafel dinner together and he told the story of how they met (no mention of the story how we met). He even suggested I could go out with his girlfriend to dance forro since both of us loved it so much. I nodded my head like a maniac, “Definitely, we should schedule something,” Brazilian way of saying, we will never EVER meet again.
I bought a big bottle of beer and strolled along the Paulista Avenue, not sure if I should cry or laugh. So I just drank. As always, millions of couples were making out on the benches and bus stops — young, old, gay, straight… I used to be envious of their love. Not anymore. It was nothing but an illusion. Sooner or later, maybe even in a few hours, all of them would cheat on each other. Hope was gone.
Case Study #3 Kleyton
Our eyes met across the sultry dance floor and it felt as if an electric spark flew across the room. In a split second my mouth was dry and some other parts of my body — wet. God, was he gorgeous! Tall, black, slim, with a storm of thick locks, but foremost — he was an amazing dancer. He was spinning a girl but staring at me, his eyes narrowed. I blushed. He extended his hand towards me for the next song and entrapped me in his arms for the whole night. Brazilian strategy — surround your prey and don’t let go of her until you get a taste of her flesh. With the Universe as my witness, I resisted as much as I could. I was new in town, just arrived to Recife, I didn’t want complications right at the beginning. And hot men were such a trouble! But he was charming, convincing, and persistent. My defenses were down. OK, let’s go outside “tomar um ventinho” (get a breath of fresh air). All right, the air will taste better served in each others’ mouths.
What came next was the usual. Kleyton texted me almost every day. Far from his hotness, in the safety of my room, I was doing my best to reject his advances. No, I didn’t want to meet him. No, I wouldn’t send him my nudes. No, I wouldn’t come next Sunday to the Cuban place again.
But I did.
Unable to focus, turning my head left and right, I looked for the familiar storm of Afro hair tamed by a headband. He wasn’t there.
He apologized promptly. He’d been giving classes at the dance school for the whole weekend and was too tired to come. I was aloof but he caught my attention by offering to me samba de gafieira lessons, in my living room, in exchange for English classes. Yeah, sure, why not, it’s such a difficult dance in the end.… Some extra help won’t hurt.
When I opened the door on the next day and saw his beautiful face, I knew the afternoon wouldn’t finish on a class exchange. When all the introductions had been made and the th sound practiced till his tongue got numb, it was time for me to step down from the teacher’s pedestal and become a dumb-ass for a change. He played “Pé na Areia” and pulled me to himself, just to push me away three seconds later. We turned our backs on each other, we made a jumpy walk back and forth, he spun me around and I laughed, having lost my balance. He caught me right on time, hot, sweaty, melting… He tilted my head back and sucked on my lip. We floated on the waves of samba all the way to my room.
I disappeared.
We continued our classes with benefits for a few weeks, chatted on whatsapp every day, got jealous, had our first fight when he slapped me in my face in bed and I slapped him back. I would lose my focus whenever I smelled his perfume on other men. He fed me with the same crap he served all girls, just to get me addicted to him — we’re going to be together forever, we’ll get married, it’s too soon to hold hands in public but one day… I told him off, I didn’t want to hear any of that shit but somehow it stuck. The mixture of his smell and bullshit blinded my mind. Maybe we could be something more than just ficantes (fuck buddies)?
And would I even want that? The dude lived in a dance school, flirted with every girl around, and had kids with two different women. Certainly not the kind of man my mom would like to meet. I got the taste of reality when I introduced him to my brother who was visiting for the carnival. How lovely, on that specific day Kleyton showed up completely drunk, with a broken front tooth after opening a beer can the night before, and as per glorious Brazilian carnival tradition — wearing a skimpy dress. My brother wasn’t impressed.
You know how sometimes a small snack only triggers your appetite instead of satisfying it? That’s what happened to me. Weekly fuck meetings with Kleyton and then pretending as if we barely knew each other on the parties was not enough. I wanted something deeper, realer, lovelier… I tried to get distance, I suggested a break, but I ran back to him within a week. The dance started all over again.
But it was becoming intense not only for me. I saw it in his eyes, he was terrified. Suddenly I was everywhere, invading his territory with my high heels and swirling skirts. Wherever he turned his head, I was there, dancing with another man. I studied his face. What was the meaning of that sadness? Was he jealous or was he tired of my presence? Whatever it was, it was too much. His smell vanished into thin air. No more whatsapp messages, no more “how was your day.” I didn’t ask what happened. I didn’t try to keep him. I knew the drill very well.
He disappeared.
I sucked it up, just as I always do. He’s probably already fucking another girl. That’s how you keep it safe — bang as much as you can and run away before the first unpleasant fluttering of your macho heart. I took a risk with Kleyton and I lost but not everything. It was infinite when it lasted.
Que seja infinito enquanto dure…
The Rant
Those were just three of many bitter-sweet romantic (?) adventures I’ve had in Brazil and they’re nothing in comparison with what I’ve been told by my girlfriends. Every woman I meet has a few tragic stories of unfaithfulness up her sleeve, ready to pull them out on caipirinha-soaked girls’ nights out. The worst ones are those of their mothers, cheated by their fathers and left alone, with nothing to live on, and often with debts to pay.
My heart sinks. Is that really what you get when you fall for a Brazilian man? You love him? You want him? There you have, take him, together with all the crap that comes with the package — cheating, machismo, and the inability to love you.
However, the thirty- and twenty-somethings won’t tolerate the shit their moms used to turn a blind eye to. They’re hardworking, ambitious, and self-sufficient. They do sports, travel, and develop their passions. They are the best and deserve the best. So how does that work out for them? They’re alone. Because Brazilian men can’t handle the new reality. They can’t find their place in that new relationship model where they don’t need to be a provider. Rodrigo, a male colleague of mine, admits that he’s single because he’s afraid. If he dates a woman, sooner or later she will discover that he’s a fraud. He has nothing to offer to her what she can’t get by herself. So he prefers to run away before she notices and leaves him for someone better.
The story of Mariana confirms that strange logic. She was a beautiful and successful app developer at Google. She’d been trying for a child with her husband for over a year when she discovered that he was already expecting one, just that not with her. A nineteen-year-old street vender from a favela he patrolled turned out to be a more attractive love interest. And a less threatening one, for sure. Two weeks later Mariana was a beautiful and successful… divorcee.
The Reasoning
I’ve always been more of a man-lover than a man-hater so I’m trying to find sense in that misery. Everyone desires to be considered a decent person but what if the definition of decent differs across cultures? What if you’ve been imprinted by your father and your society from an early age that to be a man means to be able to get as many females as possible and outsmart them all? Wouldn’t Brazilian men behave differently, had they been raised in a place were fathers don’t bring their 14-year-old sons to whore houses to lose their virginity, where they don’t pat them on the back for cheating on their teenage girlfriends, and where love and fierce loyalty to one woman isn’t seen as weakness but as strength?
I’ve watched an amazing video by Matthew Boggs where he explains why some men are unable to commit. Imagine that you have 16 oz of love in your hand, all pretty, fragrant, and ready to be gifted to that one special man. But he only has 4 oz to give you back in exchange. You’re getting upset that he doesn’t want to give you more but the truth is — that’s all he’s got. And that seems true for the guys in Brazil. They are emotionally handicapped, incapable of developing depth that would make them attached to one person only. It’s always the same superficial, sex-based relationship, just the bodies are different. That’s why it’s so easy to exchange one woman for another.
The Words of Wisdom
I would probably break into pieces and turn into despair, if I weren’t aware of the laws of the Universe: everything that surrounds you is the reflection of your own soul, everything you experience is brought to you by the Law of Attraction to match the vibration you project. We’re not victims of our circumstances but the captains of our lives.
I sit in quiet meditation and ask my Inner Being, “Are all Brazilian men indeed emotionally-unavailable cheaters? Or do I attract only those types (and the women complaining about them)? And if so… Why?”
The answer is pretty annoying, as always. It seems that it’s me who is emotionally unavailable and men I choose simply mirror my attitude. On the surface I crave intimacy and depth but truth be told… It scares the shit out of me. To fall so deep, to lose control, to surrender myself completely to another person… Ain’t nobody got time for that! I need to focus on my writing, find an agent, publish my novel, go for a run and dance classes, meditate on the beach, meet my girlfriends… A man now? He would just ruin everything! Thus, a part of me sabotages every chance for a relationship, picks from the crowd the worst kind, the players, the womanizers, the assholes… So I don’t have to take the responsibility for the failure in dating. It’s always going to be their fault.
That realization is painful and hopeful at the same time. There are awesome and honest men out there, maybe sipping coconut water on the beach I don’t know, maybe dancing kizomba in a club I haven’t been to yet, maybe walking their dogs in the park in the other part of town… I haven’t met them because my vibration doesn’t match with theirs. I’m not ready. So I should just chill out, enjoy a bowl of açaí, and publish my first post on Medium. ;)
It’s much easier to blame your surroundings than to see the “reality” as the mirror of your soul. But that’s the only way to stop “being lived” and start living instead, without asking silly questions, such as, “Are Brazilian Men Incapable of Love?”

Neymar Jr.- Brazil’s One for the Future
|
For the past two decades, Brazil has always been a strong contender in international competitions.The quality and quantity of talent that crop up from brazil style of play are known throughout the footballing realm.
Their `Joga bonito’ has always amazed, amused and entertained football fanatics throughout the world.
Brazil has always nurtured and discovered great talent and still continues to do so.
But the Selecao boys for the first time in the recent past did not enter the 2013 confederations cup as one of the favourites. European giants Spain, France and Italy still looked stronger. Brazil’s unanticipated elimination from the 2010 world cup and a distasteful performance in 2011 Copa America proved that they needed some kinda overhauling both in terms of player selection and game plan. Subsequently, brazil tumbled down to 11th spot in FIFA rankings. Though they went on to deliver an exceptional performance throughout the year 2011 and were on a winning streak. But the following year came out to be a complete antonym of the previous year. Brazil had to face the bitter reality of slumping down more to the 22nd spot in the FIFA ranking in June 2013. This was their worst since the inception of the ranking system in 1992.
The accomplished Luis Filipe Scolari was introduced as the new Brazil coach in November 2012 and had a bad start to the year with back to back defeats against Mexico. But the samba boys picked themselves up and commenced the confederations cup with some style and vigour. With the lagniappe of Neymar jr. in the roster, the samba boys cruised through to the finals and eventually came out victorious in the final against the mighty and undefeated Spanish matadors. Neymar’s presence could be seen throughout the tournament and he proved why he is worth 57 million euros. His otherworldly performance throughout the competition was rewarded with the player of the tournament award. Spain could have easily outplayed in the final against brazil if it weren’t for the tenacious David Luis who popped up frequently to resolve any defensive crises. One of the highlights was the goalline clearance by David Luis which could have been a game-changer. Spain missing the valuable penalty and sending off of Gerard pique was slowly revealing the end of Spain’s 29 matches undefeated winning streak.
Though Brazil came out as champions, their dependence on Neymar and defensive flaws will not be able to make them the favourites for the upcoming world cup. For instance, their wing-backs i.e Dani Alves and Marcelo often run up the flanks to assist with the attack and maintain the high tempo of the attack they provide. This eventually leaves the flanks utterly exposed. Defensive midfielders like Luis Gustavo and Paulinho help cover for central defenders, but this might not be enough to create a perfect team for the World Cup. They seriously need a gameplan overhaul to compete with other European giants.
On the other front, Neymar jr was the man of the whole tournament and has been prolific in Brazil’s attack. Now, as the new season begins, FC Barcelona’s latest big-money signing will have the test of his life. Hence, the question remains if Neymar will turn his Confederations Cup brilliance into consistency now at club level. His array of unique hairdos and his elastic style of play might provide some swagger into Barca’s game. But there are many questions which need to be answered.
The Selecao boys have released their Kraken — Neymar Jr
Confederations Cup is one thing and playing in a hectic la Liga, Champions league calendar is another. Will he be able to co-exist with a player like Messi? Neymar might diversify Tito Vinalova’s gameplan but will he be able to handle the physicality involved in the Spanish league. Will he be able to adjust to the famous tiki-taka football of the Blaugrana? Only time will tell. It would be disappointing to see him ending up like other Brazilian duds who failed to shine in Europe. Neymar has a different kind of approach to his play as compared to Barca play. Well, this is how players become legends, who can adapt to any type of gameplay. With David villa gone, Neymar will have a lot of game time and I’m quite curious to see him play. Neymar will surely provide support to Messi and relieve Messi’s pressure of scoring goals.
His appetite for scoring was highlighted in the Confederations Cup and if he continues with the same vigour to score, this prodigy from Santos can create wonders in Europe. He could even be one day a Ballon D’or winner. One thing is quite evident that Brazil never disappoints in mining new talent. With the new season just around the corner, all cameras will be on Neymar’s mercurial feet. If he does succeed at the club level, then it is quite evident that Brazil will emerge stronger than ever in the 2014 FIFA World Cup.

Real Madrid: The impact of Eder Militao
|
As the calendar year draws to a close, Real Madrid centre-back Eder Militao can look back on it and feel content, having established himself as a key player at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu and proved many doubters wrong.
The Brazilian looked to be rather on the outside of things a year ago, but in every crisis, there is an opportunity and in January 2021 he rose to the challenge and hasn’t looked back since. Fast forward almost 12 months and from rumours about a departure, now there is talk about a new contract for the defender who is untouchable in Carlo Ancelotti’s eyes.
The former Porto man’s Real Madrid career kickstarted on April 3 of this year, as he was a key part in Los Blancos’ excellent defensive record that got them back into the title race. Having only played 26 games for the club before that date, Militao has since played 39 of Real Madrid’s last 40 games.
In those 39 games with Militao in the team, Real Madrid have lost just three times. His own turnaround in fortunes have also brought about more positive results for the team and that record has helped put Los Blancos top of LaLiga Santander going into the new year.
Militao-Alaba: Kings of the backline
After the attacking duo of Karim Benzema and Vinicius Junior, the defensive pairing of Militao and David Alaba has perhaps been the most important partnership for Ancelotti’s Real Madrid this season. In their 19 games together, Los Blancos have won 15, drawn three (Villarreal, Osasuna, Cadiz) and lost just one (Sheriff).
More impressively still, in those 19 games, Real Madrid have kept 11 clean sheets and conceded just nine goals in total. With Alaba and Militao on the pitch together, Los Blancos have only trailed on the scoreboard for 67 minutes this season.
Winning over the Bernabeu
In the summer there had been fears for Real Madrid’s defence this season, bereft of stalwarts Sergio Ramos and Raphael Varane, but the new guard have stepped in and earned the approval of the Bernabeu faithful.
Militao hasn’t silenced his doubters, he has them on their feet applauding him.

Brazil Traceability Timeline
|
Pharmaceutical traceability studies started in 2009 in Brazil, got on with the complementation of the pilot in 2019. As it is known, for the full implementation it is expected to realize to be of April 28, 2022, according to the Brazil traceability timeline. From this date, all the pharmaceuticals in the situation of “finished products” except the non-registered products used in clinical and scientific research will be traceable as stated in RDC №157/2017. Of course, the Brazilian Health Regulatory Agency (ANVISA) has some expectations from all manufacturers in the pharmaceutical supply chain. Pharmaceutical manufacturers are expected to comply with regulations in the National System of Drug Control (SNCM) within the reported Brazil traceability timeline.
SNCM and Expectations
The National Drug Control System (SNCM) collects data that can be questioned by authorized stakeholders in the supply chain such as manufacturers, warehouses, pharmacies, hospitals from the pharmaceutical supply chain in a central database. Sustainable pharmaceutical traceability depends on the harmony of supply chain stakeholders.
Aware of this, SNCM expects pharmaceutical suppliers to comply with certain standards especially the 2D code application in order to achieve traceability in line with the Brazil traceability timeline. Other standards require that GTIN, ANVISA registration number, batch code, expiry date and batch number should be on the pharmaceutical carton. In addition, the product-transport unit hierarchy should also be established. In short, for pharma traceability, products must be serialized and aggregation must be performed.
Meeting Expectations on Brazil Traceability Timeline
Serialization which is the first step of pharmaceutical traceability was requested by RDC 157/2017 within the GS1 standards. As it can be used in many industries, the ISS-100 Carton Serialization Station, which successfully performs serialization in the pharmaceutical industry, is one of the favorites of the field as it can serialize up to 400 cartons per minute. According to the needs of Brazil Traceability Timeline, it also performs DataMatrix coding by using printing technologies such as thermal inkjet, CIJ and laser. The 2D code printed on the carton is viewed with a high-speed industrial camera.
With OCR/OCV technology, human-readable information is verified and non-standard products leave the line with the reject mechanism without stopping the line.
So how can the serialized product be reliably tracked in the supply chain? We actually know the answer to this question. Of course, the aggregation process would provide this.
Stations that combine products, associate them with an upper carrier unit, and print labels are defined as aggregation stations. In addition, integration solutions that turn existing cartoning machines into aggregation stations are also practical applications.
Semi-Automatic Case Packer Station SACP-100 is an effective solution for companies that want to automatically perform case packer operations and combine them with aggregation. While the case packer process is performed, the aggregation process is also carried out, thus speeding up the production by using a small labor force.
The aggregation Integration for Case Packer Stations SASCP-100 is a smart and cost-effective solution that transforms existing case packer stations into an aggregation station. The integration solution consists of vision inspection, industrial computer, label applicator and printer. The solution shaped according to the needs can be supported by the software.
Line Management, Operations Management and Formal Notifications for Pharmaceutical Traceability
The software of VISIOTT Line Manager (Level 2), which provides the management of solutions such as ISS-100, SACP-100, SASCP-100 in production lines for pharmaceutical traceability, can perform real-time control and communication with many hardware.
Fulfilling ANVISA requirements like Line Manager (Level 2), VISIOTT Plant Manager (Level 3) does more than expected as multifunctional software. What could be “expected” and “more”? VISIOTT Plant Manager (Level 3) can assign work orders to lines with the information it receives from any EPCIS server or Level 4 solution, and stores serialization and aggregation data as a result of the work order. So far, we have written the transactions under the “expected” heading. Hang tight, “more” is coming! VISIOTT Plant Manager (Level 3) software allows you to perform your SNCM notifications without needing any Level 4 software. It provides a unique solution by realizing official notifications as well as creating serial numbers, master data and product recipe management.
