Increase the reach of online video marketing through social media

admin

Online video marketing is increasingly the option chosen by companies to establish their online presence. One of the most effective video marketing strategies is the use of social media to broaden and diversify your audience reach. There are many ways to create a social media presence, but statistics show that using video is the most popular way. There is no question about the popularity of the video by now, as its popularity claim is fully supported by impressive statistics.

Another important thing to remember about videos is that they can work well with various forms of social media. For example, a YouTube video that the viewer likes can be shared with other Facebook accounts, blogs, and other social networking sites. It will be the viewers themselves who will make the video go viral for the following reasons:

1. Easy to share

If you have a fun, exciting and informative video, viewers will not only “like” or click the thumb sign, but will share it with other people so they can talk about it later. It is a natural tendency to share something that makes one excited, sad, happy or inspired. The same will happen to those who were affected by the shared video because it only takes one click to share.

Even news videos now have links to share with various social media platforms. Viewers generally want to share videos with controversial topics. Eventually, if more share recipients like the video, it will go viral. Videos are not only easy to share, they are the kind of content that people would like to share. Videos are generally easier to understand than text.

2. Billions of potential video viewers

You can’t share if there’s no one to share with, right? But there are hundreds of millions of users on the major social media sites. Facebook alone has over a billion users. In 2013, eMarketer forecasts that social media users will reach 1.43 billion, an increase of 19.2% over 2012.

Targeting social media users is like targeting a captive audience for your videos. That is why it is one of the most considered video marketing tactics for promoting brand awareness.

3. Expanded accessibility

TV commercials play only based on the amount of airtime you purchased. It is not something that is available if you want to see it. For example, a friend can only tell you about an awesome TV commercial. You have to watch TV and wait for it to show. On the other hand, online videos are continuously available unless you delete them.

For example, Justin Bieber’s music video “Baby” with more than 756.4 million views has been continuously available on YouTube since April 25, 2010. Until now, there are still viewers without the need to buy more airtime. The same goes for the popular Volkswagen ad with over 53 million views and counting. If Justin Beiber’s video was shown only on a music site like MTV, it would have been pulled after a few months to make way for newer releases. It could not have been viewed at least 756.4 million times.

If you are not using online video marketing strategies to establish your social media presence, you could be limiting the scope of your online marketing efforts.

Warhammer: The Rogue Trader Beginner’s Guide and Warhammer Collectibles

admin

The early years of The Rogue Trader:

The rulebook written by Rick Priestley for the Warhammer 40,000 game, Rogue Trader was published in 1987, this first issue is vastly different from any of the future issues. It is primarily a cross between RPGs and classic board games, rather than a pure board battle game. Rogue Trader had more detailed information and background on the broader scopes of the 40K universe, its careers and its technologies, unlike later editions of the game, for me that is why it is considered a prized collector’s item and ranks special in my collection.

This Rulebook is considered much less rigid in the 40K rules than later editions, as it employed a much broader set of points of view within the narrative than was common in future versions and easily encouraged mixed faction forces.

Jokero, Slann, Squats, Zoats are examples of races that were not included in the first edition of RT.

Rogue Trader had six sections:

  • Rules of Engagement
  • Scenario for the Crimson Fist Space Marines fighting the Orks in the world of Rynn,
  • An equipment section.
  • Background section
  • Special rules for advanced players,
  • A summary that includes all the graphics in the book.

Some elements of the scene (bolters, Dreadnought armor) can be seen in a set of rules of war games called Laserburn, written by Bryan Ansell and produced by Tabletop Games in 1980. The influence of these can also be seen in the prototype of the Necromunda game mechanics.

My interest in Rogue Trader

When I got into Games Workshop products in the late eighties, it was the Rogue Trader miniatures that caught my eye. Rick Priestley really did a lot in my life! When I started modeling, I used to build and paint my own lead models, typically British, Prussian and Napoleonic forces red coats, etc.

So one day I bought a pack of Ral Partha fantasy figures and started to drift down the fantasy route, but it wasn’t until 1987 with the arrival of Rogue Trader that I found something that would take a lot of my time, effort and, for money of course and that was the old Imperium of Man – (Rick Priestley wrote to Rogue Traders as independent explorers employed by the Imperium to search for planets outside established borders) and all the hideous creatures you had to fight. Although there were no signs of Chaos at first, well, not like it exists today, Preistley sure hints at the forces of the warp (Chaos), but it wasn’t until some expansions appeared that we saw the full power of the forces of Chaos coming. . through.

The pride of my collection was an entire Imperial Space Marine army, built and painted with love over several years. Moreover, he also had a fantastic collection of Zoats, Space Slann, Imperial Guard, ah, the list is really endless!

After a few years I moved in with my wife to be and have our first child, the game suddenly became less and less important, working and paying the bills seemed to occupy every moment of my life (even when I was going through college. I had managed to balance games with real life, but having kids is really a completely different ball game 🙂

So over the next decade, my beloved collections were lost or broken when we bought our houses and moved due to our careers, and sadly I finally stopped playing.

Then I skipped to 2001 and a soccer injury had me hanging around home for 6 months and lo and behold, I started shopping for 40K models at the local GW store. In the years that followed, as I began to really appreciate the workmanship of the Rouge Trader models (today’s models are definitely more sculpted / ornate and are really pleasing to the eye), I missed the simplicity of those early models, perhaps with pink eyes and bags of nostalgia that I remembered but suddenly I wanted to recover my lost collections!

Kid!!! Was it easier said than done? Since Games Workshop took all of the RT stuff out of production and broke most of the mold, I was having a hard time finding them, BUT luckily the web was starting to reach its potential and I was able to start finding clubs and websites where I could talk to others. like-minded folks and of course EBAY :)) Now I know it has its hassles and downsides but it was the # 1 stop to find a lot of my lost minis BUT it was a nightmare of misleading bidding, sniping, retiring buyers of sales because the auction did not reach what they wanted, lost or broken figures in the publication, etc.

Unfortunately, there are now a multitude of places to find your old miniatures 🙂

Corian – So your expensive countertop is broken? Do not panic

admin

Anytime you spend a lot of money on something only to have it break, it will usually make you nervous. Well, if it is a solid surface countertop, then there is no reason to freak out.

One of the great selling points of solid surface countertops is the fact that they can be repaired if they are scratched, cracked, chipped, burned, or anything else. As long as the countertop hasn’t been crushed into a pile of dust or confetti, it can be repaired.

Sometimes I come across a post on some DIY forum or message board and people post answers about solid surface countertop repair. They say how you can fix a crack with super glue or a fantastic new resin that can simply be poured over the crack and then sanded and then repaired. Well that’s just not true.

Aside from the simple removal of scratches and a few stains, there is nothing like a homeowner who does a real, legitimate, invisible, and beautiful repair on their own solid surface countertop. It just won’t happen. That is a great myth that can be broken in the blink of an eye. Ask anyone unlucky enough to follow this advice. Sure, maybe the magic potion they poured into the crack filled it in, and sure, once they sanded it down after using the magic potion, the crack was no longer felt when you rubbed it with your finger, but what did it look like? In a word, horrible.

In the event that it doesn’t look bad at first, wait, it will. It will start to change color, usually it will darken. So if you had a crack in a white countertop and fixed it yourself, it won’t take long and it will start to turn black. Imagine how proud he would be of your practical work then. Once beautiful countertops now look like something you salvaged from some old hotel or something. Gross!

The good news is, even if you are not qualified to repair your own countertop, there are people who are qualified.

Porsche Panamera – brilliantly and cleverly designed

admin

Porsche, Volkswagen’s premium sports car brand, is known for creating cars that are not only good, but best-in-class. The company has recently launched the second-generation four-seater Panamera at Rs. 1.19 to Rs. 1.23 crore in the ex-New Delhi showroom.

A sneak peek for monomaniacs

If you are a Porsche maniac, you will be glad to know that five models of the new Panamera will be available in India, namely Turbo, GTS, V6 Gasoline, Diesel and Panamera 4. But, the best part is the new classic unit launched. It has been introduced with a number of functions, which are enough to captivate you.

  • Electric sunroof
  • BOSE sound system in conjunction with Burmester 1000W surround sound system
  • Widened rear windshield
  • Optional LED headlights with Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus
  • Park Assist with reversing camera
  • Navigation Porsche Communication Management Plus
  • Larger chassis and advanced steering box
  • Air suspension with Porsche Active Suspension Management
  • Refurbished Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) with virtual immediate gears for increased fuel economy and comfort
  • 529 horsepower, 305 km / h top speed and 10.2 liters / 100 km average fuel consumption in the Panamera Turbo
  • 250 horsepower, 244 km / h top speed and 6.3 liters / 100 km average fuel consumption in the diesel Panamera

WAIT! That’s not …

The Executive model’s design has an extended body and looks very dynamic. The 3-liter V6 biturbo engine has a shorter piston and two bolt-on turbochargers, compared to the base first-generation Panamera that was powered by a naturally aspirated 4.8-liter V8.

Aside from this, there is the SE Hybrid which is powered by a supercharged 3-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine and a 95-horsepower electric motor that is powered by a 9.4 kWh lithium-ion battery. The net system power output of this mighty car is 435 pound-feet of torque and 416 horsepower.

This SE Hybrid has 4 driving modes, E-charge, Hybrid mode, E-power and Sport mode. While E-power is the standard drive mode, E-charge mode uses the gasoline engine to charge the lithium-ion battery pack and to propel the car on the roads. Lithium ions, when fully charged, propel the SE Hybrid for 22 miles up to 84 mph. If you’re buying a sport mode, you can sprint 60 mph from idle in 5.2 seconds up to 167 mph on SE Hybrid.

Still, the car requires some refinement in the interiors, as the interiors are not overly stylish, as expected. Furthermore, the design changes that have been made are evolutionary rather than revolutionary.

Important factors to consider in competitive analysis

admin

To complete a comprehensive competitive analysis, you must understand the competitive landscape. You must know who your competitors are. Prepare an overview of your competitors, their strengths and weaknesses. Place each competitor’s product in front of their products. Understand the needs and preferences of the customer you are competing for.

When considering your competitors, determine what are the similarities and differences between their products and yours. You should also consider how their prices compare to yours and how well you are doing. You must have a specific plan to compete. For example, you can offer better quality services, lower prices, more support, or easier access to services. It should address the following basic issues:

o Define your target market.

o Determine the size of the target market.

o Drill down into your specific segment within the target market.

o Define the size and revenue opportunity your segment represents.

o Determine how fast the overall market and your specific segment are growing.

o Learn which factors are most important to your customers, such as price, technology, ease of use, or new uses.

o You must know the most important characteristics of your industry. Is it driven by high or low volume? Is it capital or labor intensive? Is it seasonal?

o Identify and profile your target customers by their consumption budgets and by how they make decisions to buy a product.

o Identify your direct and indirect competitors and understand their impact on you.

o Identify the characteristics that differentiate your product from the competition.

To address the core issues, you need to know where to find competitive and industry information. Information is available from the Federal Department of Commerce online or at the library. You can review Edgar Online and business websites for the required financial documents. Look for an industry trade association and industry publications. Go to Hoovers Online or Bacon’s to search for trade publications in your industry. You can also check online at http://www.usdata.com or the North American industry rankings at http://www.naics.com.

Once all the basic issues have been addressed and your competitive research completed, you should be able to describe all of your competitors and their strengths and weaknesses. You should be able to clearly articulate what is different about your product and why customers will choose your product over the competition. You should also be able to describe your target market and target customer and what will motivate them to buy your product. Lastly, you need to be able to explain how you will gain and maintain a sustainable competitive advantage.
