The Benefits of Video Marketing

1. Even short videos will make your audience stay longer on your site or channel.

2. Search engines will give you good rating when users stay longer in your site while watching your videos.

Demo videos and explainer videos encourage sales
Video builds trust and credibility among your audience

Video marketing can provide an effective digital marketing strategy. Just a small investment can connect you with millions of consumers, followers, and billions of global viewers. If your video content has clarity, then it can be easily understood. If it can attract attention, elicit emotions, and convey a meaningful experience for the viewer, it could even result in the next viral video. People would rather watch a video than read a brochure explaining a product, process, idea, or concept.

Here are tips to get you started on your video marketing strategy.

1. Use live video for a explainer video or a product demo,

2. Use video animation. Animated videos are simply entertaining but are also informative.

3. Optimize your video content in whatever platform you choose to use.

4. Create quality, creative, original and unique video content.

5. Add fresh video content regularly to attract loyal followers.

6. Outsource your video production (especially for animation) if you do not have the time to create content yourself. A good video in the landing page can improve conversions and page ranking.

7. Build links. Get linked to reputable and successful platform to bring more targeted traffic.

8. Create video testimonials of satisfied customers.

9. Submit videos to video sites and include your business profile, and contact information and add link to your website.

10. Be patient in building your audience. It takes time and serious efforts. Just continue adding fresh, quality useful content and offer honest, reliable customer service

Video content is your most powerful asset because it provides sensory-rich experience (vision, hearing, and emotions) for your audience. Leverage the immense power of video in your marketing strategies even on a shoestring budget.

The Ebola virus isn't like the HIV

2014-10-31T00:20:00.001-07:00

Since CDC initially declared Ebola transmission only happens through direct contact (like HIV) doctors and nurses have been contaminated because they took off their protective suits when they were no longer touching the patients,yet there were still within the vicinity of the sick. They got sick without knowing it.... because they thought the Ebola virus isn't airborne... Now the CDC admits that the virus is airborne... but it is still a very wrong estimate ... they said it is only transmissible within 3 feet! More people can be contaminated because of this conservative and dangerous estimate. Dont let off your guard, or dont remove your protective clothing until you are 100 meters away from an Ebola-stricken person or animal. Asymptomatic persons are already contagious. A TV broadcast is saying the same wrong thing-- that we can get sick ONLY if we touch a sick person. EBOLA is not HIV. It is transmissible via aerosolized droplets in the air. Take care. Our beloved OFWs are coming home.. I hope the government really knows what to do about it.

7-DAY JUICE FASTING

2014-05-29T19:11:00.002-07:00

Juicing offers plenty of benefits, so does fasting. The benefits of fasting can be so broad that it affects the physical, mental, and spiritual aspect of an individual. It works by redirecting the body’s energy from constantly digesting food to detoxifying and repairing and healing the body tissues and organs. When you combine these two, juicing and fasting, then the result is amazing.

Fasting has the following benefits:

· Puts the digestive system to rest

· Cleanses and detoxifying the body

· Improves physical conditions such as allergies, arthritis, cardiovascular disease, asthma and fatigue

· Increases the energy level

· Aligns emotional patterns

· Improves mental clarity and focus

· Enhances intuitiveness and spiritual connection

When internal organs and tissues are cleansed, the body is purified and the psychological and spiritual aspects become well. When fasting is combined with yoga and meditation, you get the maximum benefits.

Types of fasting

· Partial fasting – includes some amount of solids such as bread or rice but not hard-to-digest animal meats

· Dry fasting – no food or water for a limited period.

· Water fasting – can be quite severe for a beginner because the body is completely deprived of nutrients but it delivers quick detox results;

· Fruit & vegetable juice fasting – a gentle and popular way of fasting because the digestive organs are rested yet the body receives some amount of beneficial nutrients.

Juicing

Juicing is an easy way to get the important phytochemicals, electrolytes, antioxidants and enzymes to provide energy and cleanse the body. Fruits and vegetables can be combined and more colors you have, the more varied the nutrients you get, according to dieticians. . For a better taste, use more fruits than vegetables. It will have more calories than if you use more vegetables than fruits. However, plants have both antioxidant and digestive enzymes needed by the body. Our bodies have a limited ability to produce enzymes and juicing is effective in providing enzymes and minerals such as iron, magnesium, potassium, calcium, and folic acid.

If you don’t have a juicer, a blender will do. Yet the more expensive juicers are powerful enough to break down even the core and rind so you can still have the fiber in your diet. The skin and pulp of fruits and vegetables contain more vitamins and minerals than the fleshy parts. Don’t discard these parts; just wash your produce and your hands very well. Wash the juicer well after each use. A juicer has an advantage in providing a more concentrated juice that can be quickly absorbed by the body without requiring energy for digestion. The rind and pulp parts will provide the fiber that your body needs. Fiber gives a feeling of fullness and prevents overeating. As the body also needs protein, add a little protein to your juice by throwing in flaxseed, almond milk, Greek yogurt, or peanut butter. Protein is necessary for building and repairing tissues, for producing hormones, enzymes, and other body chemicals. Proteins are macronutrients needed by the bones, muscles, cartilages, skin, and blood but unfortunately, the body does not store enough protein, so it must be added to the diet on a daily basis. The body can quickly absorb the nutrients from juices than from solid foods. Juicing provides the most concentrated solution of nutrients from vegetables and fruits. Recovery from illness is therefore quicker.

Juice fasting

Fasting is certainly a part of a juice diet. Fasting with juicing is one of the best ways to fast. This method of fasting helps in weight loss, detoxification, healing, and improving spiritual acuity and connection. This may last from 3 days or up to 2-3 weeks depending on your preference and experience. Juice fasting ensures that the body gets nutrients even during the fast.

Consult a doctor before starting juicing or juice fasting to prevent any nutrient interactions. Leafy greens such as spinach and kale have high Vitamin K content. Vitamin K is an important nutrient but it promotes blood clotting to prevent bleeding. Other plant sources may have more of a certain nutrient that creates an imbalance. Your doctor

may interview you to find out what will work best for you. If you are new to juicing or juice fasting, start with a shorter and more manageable program such as three days. It is better to get used to shorter juice fasting and succeed than to fail and abandon a longer program. Once you’ve succeeded in a 3-day juice fast, then you can move to a 7-day more intensive juice fasting.

Side Effects of Juicing or Juice Fasting

This health regimen may have certain disadvantages. These are:

· If you take only pure fruits and vegetables without blending in fiber and protein, your energy levels could fluctuate because your body is adjusting to the lesser calories you are consuming. The sugars in the fruits will cause a sudden burst of energy but you may also feel fatigued after a short period. Be sure to add sources of protein such as nuts.

· The lack of protein may prompt the body to draw from the reserved body protein such as muscle mass. This will lead to weakness;

· The body may use stored fats to produce energy and this will result in a by-product called ketones. This by-product produces the distinct smell in perspiration.

· Some fruits or the raw veggies can cause either diarrhea or constipation depending on the amounts and combinations included in the juice.

· Organic vegetables are usually grown from soil with horse and chicken manure and could contain harmful organisms if not washed well. So clean your fruits and vegetables very well.

· Non-organic fruits and vegetables could contain harmful pesticides and insecticides that are also harmful to humans. Better get your produce from a small-scale farmer/grower who do not use chemicals.

During the first couple of days of your juicing, you may experience lightheadedness, nausea, headaches, muscle weakness, diarrhea, constipation, lethargy, or general body aches. Your body will adjust accordingly.

Juice Fasting and Exercise

Supplement your juice fasting with simple aerobic exercises in the morning. This will help your body to adjust to your dietary change faster. The energy produced during the exercise will sustain you throughout the day. According to Dr. Mercola’s study, fasting before aerobic training leads to reduction in both body weight and body fat. The combination of fasting and exercising maximizes the impact of cellular factors that break down fat and glycogen for energy and it counteracts muscle aging, recycles and rejuvenates the brain and muscle tissues. This means that juicing or juice fasting combined with exercise may actually help to keep the brain, neuro-motors, and muscle fibers young. Exercise will also help you sleep better at night. Morning exercise increases mental acuity and helps you to stay focused on positive choices and decisions throughout the day.

Juice Fasting, Meditation, and Yoga

Fasting is for the body as meditation is to the soul. This combination is highly beneficial for balancing the mind, body, and soul. The right fasting and meditation can increase awareness. Deep relaxation changes our bodies on a genetic level, according to a comprehensive study at Harvard Medical School. They found that long-term practitioners of relaxation methods such as meditation, deep breathing, and yoga have more “disease-fighting genes” than those who do not practice such. In two months, the relaxation effect helped fight inflammation, kill diseased cells, and protect the body from cancer. While fasting, the desired effects of meditation are achieved quicker and better. The more people practice meditation, the healthier they become.
Yoga, which includes breathing and stretching exercises, helps to remove body wastes such as carbon dioxide, lactic acid, and lymphatic fluid from the deep tissues and extremities of the body that other exercises don’t achieve. Yoga, meditation and fasting go hand in hand. Yoga helps in achieving a new level of physical, mental, and spiritual awareness.

Juice Fasting when you have Diabetes

Pure fruit juice is harmful to diabetics because it causes a sharp spike in blood sugar. Medical advice is important before starting any juicing program. Fiber-rich vegetables and whole fruit counterpart is recommended instead. The guide for diabetics recommends 80% veggies and 20% whole fruit with ¼ teaspoon of ground cinnamon. This juice should be taken in small amounts throughout the day. There are vegetables that have some protein in them and these include legume sprouts, beetroot, turnip greens, kale, silver beet, broccoli, celery, fresh corn, peas, and asparagus. For the 20% fruit part, apples, banana, and avocado can be used. Exercise is highly recommended.

Recipes for the diabetic: (Each recipe is good for 2 servings)

1. Day 1 – 1 apple, 1 cup blueberries, 2 lemons, min, 1 cucumber, 1-2 cups of spinach

2. Day 2 – 5 kale leaves, 1 cup spinach, fresh ginger, 2 lemons, 1 green apple, 2 seeded tomatoes

6. Day 6 – 1 cup cauliflower, 1 cup spinach, 1 green apple, 1 carrot, 1 banana, ½ orange

7. Day 7 - 2 pcs. carrots, 5 pcs. asparagus, 1 cup fresh pineapple, ½ cup sprouts, 1 pc. celery

Detox juice recipes for everyone

1. Day 1 – Lemon, ginger, 1 carrot, 1 banana, basil leaves, and 1 cup fresh pineapple with core

2. Day 2 – 2 apples, 2 carrots, 5 silverbeet leaves, 1 cup avocado, grapefruit,

3. Day 3 – 1 cup broccoli, 1 cup spinach, 2 apples, 1 cup strawberry, 1 cup fresh pineapple with core,

4. Day 4 – 2 cucumbers, ½ cup kale, ½ cup spinach, 2 tablespoon parsley, 1 lemon

5. Day 5 – 2 carrots, 2 apples, 2 cucumbers, 1 cup avocado, 1 banana, 1 orange

6. Day 6 – 2 cucumbers, 1 cup strawberries, 2 apples, 1 cup grapes

7. Day 7 – 1 cup asparagus, 2 cucumbers, 2 apples, 2 bananas, nuts/almonds,

Coconut water is good for everyone. It can be taken at anytime during the day, but not on an empty stomach. Lemon water can be taken at anytime during the day.

Colon Cleansing and Juice Fasting

The maximum effects of detoxification can be achieved by going through a colon cleansing procedure during the juice fasting. It helps to remove undigested waste as well as the hardened fecal matter inside the colon.

Herbal Teas

Drinking purified water and herbal teas simultaneously with fruit and vegetable juicing can further help achieve the best results, usually, detoxification, weight loss, wellness, and awareness. An example of herbal tea is chamomile tea which treats skin rashes and insomnia. Herbal infusions or tisane may contain select leaves, ripe fruits, flowers, grasses, nuts, barks, or seeds. These teas can help in digestion and relief of inflammation. Other types of detox teas are lemon tea, ginger tea, green tea, or the combinations of these teas.

Combining two or more of these methods of body cleansing will definitely help you achieve results that are better and quicker than if you are using only one method of body cleansing. Copyright 2014, Maria Francia Bengco

FLASH FLOODS SURPRISE MANY NATIONS OF THE WORLD

Why do we get disastrous flash floods everywhere? Well, some people would say the end of the world is near. Not quite, I think. Environmentalists are doing their best to reverse the damage humans have done to our mother earth. However, the beneficial result of their efforts might take a century to manifest. Remember, human activity has been changing the face of the earth for the last 5 thousand years.

So while we can protect the lives of our families from the catastrophe of natural calamities, why not do it? Let’s help save our planet by being earth-friendly, by taking care of our environment, by saving our trees, by not polluting our seas and rivers, etc. In the meantime, let’s try to avoid building our houses on the level of bodies of water, let’s not build our houses atop earthquake fault lines, let’s move our residences away from frequently flooded places.

Move to a flood-free, earthquake-proof house and lot for a low to low-middle income family. Ondoy had ravaged many parts of Luzon, but this place was dry and safe.

The property has a lot area of 60m2 , a veranda overlooking the Lagro Grotto Resort, A living room, 1 bathroom, kitchen/dining area, 2 bedrooms, a mini swimming pool which could be filled up to 4-5 feet of water. It is ideal for kids, for adult water exercises for therapy or health maintenance, and most importantly, for family bonding. Parking lot is common to 5 homes.

It is close to a shopping mall, Susana Mart, the Mercury Drug store, hardwares, service shops, banks: (PNB, Metrobank, BPI, Landbank), and schools (both private & Public) are just mere walking distance. Greenwich, Jolibee, Chowking and other food shops have already been operating in the community. Food in the wet MARKET is cheaper compared with Metro Manila because of the proximity to food suppliers & farms. The subdivision is part of the province of Bulacan which is still very much an agricultural province. So this is the reason food prices are cheaper. The NEIGHBORHOOD is peaceful, it is a SUBDIVISION COMMUNITY ESTABLISHED BY A FORMER JESUIT CATHOLIC PRIEST who had dreams of building affordable homes and ideal communities for Filipinos. He required the housing applicants to attend a 2-week seminar on responsible home ownership and harmonious social interaction within the community itself. Skyline General Hospital and Medical Center a 5-storey Class A Hospital to be built on Quirino Highway, Barangay Tungkong Mangga. (Beside INC Gumaoc).

I was able to utilize the entire 60 square meter lot by expanding the floor area to almost 60 square meters too , because I used the frontage for a veranda, and the back for a kiddie pool. So now the Floor Area is also 60 square meters. Most important of all is that the full steel roofing structure allows for a concrete or wooden second storey.- Maria Francia Bengco

How to Tell if the Guy You're Dating is Married

2011-12-27T14:02:00.000-08:00

Research shows that roughly 40 million American singles use online dating and social networking sites to meet new people. Approximately 13.5 million Americans using online dating services are married. If you are serious about finding your true love in an online dating service, make sure you don’t deal with married people.

These are the indicators that the man you met through the dating site is married:

1. He's never around during Sundays or holidays. Holidays are spent with the family. You can’t be together on Valentine’s Day. You would either have a date before or after that day.

2. He’s usually not available during late nights every night during the week. He can’t call you, and you can’t get him on the phone. He tells you he goes to bed early so he can go to work early.

3. He can’t stay long on the phone during late nights and his voice is either muffled, or almost whispering when he answers your call.

4. You’ve never been to his house. You haven’t met his Mom, and his other close relatives. These people usually won’t consent to infidelities so he won’t introduce his mistress (you) to them.

5. There’s a tan-line, a sign, that a ring was recently taken off his ring finger.

6. He selects the places you go to. These are usually out of town, never near his place of residence or office. He gives strange reasons for not wanting to go to certain places, parks, restaurants, or public places.

7. He doesn’t or refuses to give you his home phone number. You only have his cellphone and wireless land phone.

8. Sometimes he will not answer his cellphone when you are together. If a certain call becomes repetitive and constant, he gives an excuse that the phone signal is weak so he has to go out or walk farther away from you to get a better signal. You don’t hear him talking on the phone. When he returns, you sense that he is no longer focused, a little distracted, anxious, or even hurried. Was it the wife asking him to get some groceries and bring them home? Is there a family emergency?

9. If he restrains you from hard kissing or soft-biting his ears, lips, chin, or neck, he doesn’t want kiss marks to appear on his skin. Only a married man won’t want to show off his kiss marks.

10. He uses cash (never credit cards) to pay for your restaurant bills, resorts, airline tickets, and shops so that his expense activities won’t show on the billing statements that are sent to the home address.

11. There are times when you don’t hear from him at all so you get a little worried and try to call him on his phone. There’s no answer. You become even more worried. That’s the time he will call and tell you: “Love, I will explain later..Don’t worry.” (Was he dealing with guilty feelings?)

12. His wallet contains a picture of children or a woman with children.

13. His lovemaking is the best you’ve ever had. Of course, he has the necessary experience, and he does his best to compensate for certain things—such as the marriage that he will never be able to offer. He wants you to become addicted to him, so you’d find it extremely difficult to want another man, not even a unattached guy.

14. He alludes to “things he will tell you later.” There’s an air of mystery in him. It’s something that enchants you even more.

15. When you become suspicious, or he senses that you are starting to get suspicious, he will confess that he’s …been wanting to tell you about the truth—that he is married—but just couldn’t find the right time to do it. He apologizes and gets even more romantic, solicitous, and wonderfully attentive. This stage of confession happens only after he senses that you are already deliriously in love with him. After all, he has been hearing you moan your ecstatic appreciation of his great lovemaking.

Don’t wait for this confession stage to happen. By that time it could already be too late. If you become suspicious of a guy’s status, do some research immediately to confirm your gut feeling. Marriages are public records and quite easy to obtain.

Then don’t become involved with him anymore. Otherwise, you’d ruin your chances of meeting the right guy. - Maria Francia Bengco

Are you in a Love-Hate Relationship?

2011-05-05T15:29:00.000-07:00

We are all aware of couples who fight a lot and yet could not stay apart. Their union incorporates aspects of both love and hate. Their relationship may aptly be called a love-hate relationship. Extreme love and extreme hate occur in their relationship simultaneously or alternatingly.

It happens when a couple who has lost a loving relationship still feel committed to each other. It can exist from the very start, such as during the dating stage when one realizes that the other has told lies but they are still attracted to each other. It could happen during marriage when a couple who have loved and admired each other start to dislike each other for one reason or another, such as when one suspects the other of unfaithfulness. These couples still engage in active sex that usually lacks tenderness and often involves roughness.

Hate shouldn’t play a part in any loving relationship. When you become aware of love and hate coexisting in your togetherness, here are helpful suggestions:

1. Accept that there is a problem so you can start working towards fixing it.

2. Resolve the underlying issues that are causing it. It might not be easy.

3. Identify the cause of the “hate” in your relationship and deal with it.

4. Develop the “love” part and eliminate the “hate” part.

5. Both of you should work together to change and improve your relationship.

6. If you can’t seem to make any progress despite your mutual efforts, seek professional help. A marriage counselor knows how to help you stay focused on your goal of improving your relationship.

Change will happen because change is a constant part of life.

Wish you the best of luck!

WEBSITE OPTIMIZATION

2011-03-23T00:16:00.000-07:00

You’ve probably come across the phrase “optimize your website” and the acronyms SEO/SEM. These terminologies refer to the process of making your website highly accessible among the millions of websites in the internet. SEO is the acronym for Search Engine Optimization, an artistic and scientific procedure to help your prospective customers/audience find you easily when they need your product or service. SEM means Search Engine Marketing, the process of creating, offering, and delivering goods and services to customers through the strategic use of search engine optimization principles.

Here are a few essential SEO terms. Most of these were either lifted or adapted from www.seamoz.org,unless otherwise indicated. Others are my own explanations. (You may check for other available definitions if necessary):

Aging delay. Search engines have a way of recognizing if a website is very new and these newly-launched sites are allowed to wait until they come of age. This is similar to the term: “first come, first served.” Senior websites (6 months old and up) get prioritized for higher ranking.

Black Hat. These are optimization practices that are against search engine policies. The penalty is removal from the index of search engines.

Bot. (robot, spider) This is a program which acts autonomously. Search engines use these to index or retrieve web pages. Spammers use bots, too, for their questionable intentions.

Cloaking. The practice of delivering different content to the search engine spider than seen by the human users. This is considered a “Black Hat” tactic and carries a virtual death penalty of the website or domain. It is banned from the search engine results once discovered.

CMS. Content Management System. This is a publishing system that is used for storing, controlling, revising, semantically enriching, and publishing documents such as articles, movies, pictures, phone numbers, scientific data, etc. (adapted from Wikipedia)

Content. (text, copy,images) The part of a web page that is intended to have value for and be of interest to the user.

Density. (keyword density) the percentage of times a keyword or key phrase appears on a page in proportion with the total number of words on the same page.

The more times the keyword appears in relation to the total number of on page words, the greater the overall keyword density.

Doorway. (or gateway) A web page that is designed specifically to attract traffic from a search engine which immediately redirects users to another site or page. This is also considered as cloaking.

COULD YOU BE A TEENAGE IDOL?

2011-03-02T19:06:00.000-08:00

Could you be a movie Star?

When I turn on my TV will you smile and wave at me,
telling Oprah who you are?

So goes Michael Buble’s song “Hollywood,” the theme song of American Idol.

The 10th season of American Idol (2011) is once again giving its millions of viewers every eye-popping, dazzling, jaw dropping performances that had made this phenomenon a huge success.

Simon Fuller created American Idol as a spin-off from the British show Pop Idol which was inspired by the Australian TV show Popstars. The program aims to discover the best singer in the country where viewers can vote for their favorites through telephone calls or SMS. The show has produced Kelly Clarkson, Ruben Studdard, Fantasia Barrino, Carrie Underwood, Taylor Hicks, Jordin Sparks, David Cook, Kris Allen, Lee DeWyze, and Charice Pempengco.

It is “still the number 1 Television Show,” according to the Nielsen charts, and “the most impactful show in the history of television,” “It has become a recognized springboard for launching the career of many artists as bona fide stars,” according to Entertainment Weekly. The talent show has garnered almost every viewership demographics on the TV ratings. “The object of this competition is not to be mean to the losers but to find a winner. The process makes you mean because you get frustrated.

Simon Phillip Cowell, who along with Simon Fuller, had introduced American Idol to the U.S., is also known as Mr.Nasty and Judge Dread. He dropped out of school at the age of 16. Says that the first time he gave a criticism was at age four when he looked at his mother's white fuzzy pillbox hat and remarked “Mum, you look like a poodle” His father was a company executive at EMI. He worked as a mail boy at EMI and eventually worked his way to become an A&R representative.

In 2007, Forbes Magazine estimated his U.S. earnings at $45 million for the year.

He ranked no. 6 in the 2008 Telegraph's list: “The 100 most powerful people in British culture”. In the same year, he earned an estimated $72 million in income from his various projects. $45 million from American Idol, $15 million from Britain's Got Talent and X Factor, and $12 million from his record label. He was included in Time magazine’s “The 100 Most Influential People in the World- Artists’ category.”

Last January 11, 2010, Simon Cowell announced that he was leaving American Idol to pursue introducing his British show The X Factor to the USA for 2011. Kara DioGuardi also left the show on September 3, 2010 after two seasons. On September 22, 2010, it was announced that Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler will join the judging panel.

American Idol tends to be scrutinized more than any other TV show. The viewers are frustrated when their favorites are voted off, or when their favorite contestants are too harshly reproached.

The show has a panel of judges who critique the contestants’ performances, but at the end, it is the viewers who vote for the winners. The original three judges were Grammy Award-winning record producer and music manager Randy Jackson, Grammy Award-winning pop singer and Emmy Award-winning choreographer Paula Abdul and award-winning music executive and music manager Simon Cowell.

The judging panel currently consists of Jackson, singer Jennifer Lopez and Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler. The trio is a lot gentler than the previous set of judges.

American Idol has already been labeled by competing network executives as the death star of prime time television. Since its inception in the summer of 2002, no other TV show has managed to top its number one ranking for 6 consecutive seasons. This is truly a feat no competitor has surpassed in many years, according to television authorities.

HOW THE SELECTION PROCESS WORKS

During the show, contenders perform famous songs in their own rendition for the judges to provide their opinion, but it is the on-shore viewers’ weekly vote for their favorite performers which influences the outcome, eventually narrowing down the competition to two finalists who compete for a major recording contract and the prestigious title of American idol. Those who audition are evaluated by the judges in varying categories such as talent, ability, look and style. Tens of thousands of eager contestants are cut down to a shortlist of future artists who perform on air weekly.

After viewing contestants perform songs each week, home audiences vote for their favorites. The results are announced weekly during the live broadcast -- until only two finalists remain. Following the series’ 2-part premiere, the home viewing audience determine which contestants advanced to the next round (and the possibility of stardom) - by casting their vote weekly via telephone or via text-messaging. During the live season finale, the final 2 solo performers will vie for a major recording contract, with the voting audience at home choosing the “American Idol.”

Critics have predicted the death star to be losing its magnitude and pull on the viewer’s interest because of the recent events, the resignation of the famous judges, the excessive reproach for the contestants, and many other factors. The other original judges like Paula Abdul (2002–2009), Kara DioGuardi (2009–2010), Ellen DeGeneres (2010) losing faith in keeping the TV program afloat. But even so the Fox TV network is still hopeful that the fresh arrival of entertainment giants like Steven Tyler, and the return of Jennifer Lopez are now helping to re-align this talent show back on course.

It is back on course. This 2011, we have the Top 12 Guys and the Top 12 girls to choose from. James Durbin, Casey Abrams, Jacob Lusk, and Scotty McCreery are the favorites among the guys. Who is your favorite among the Top 12 Girls? Do you think 15-year old Thia Megia (full name Thialorei Lising Megia) would win this Season’s crown? - Copyright 2011. Ma. Francia Bengco

BUSINESS THROUGH THE SOCIAL MEDIA

2011-02-27T08:04:00.000-08:00

The term social media refers to the social networks that, you and your friends are most likely very familiar with. A social medium serves as a channel or venue of social expression and inter-connection. People are joining these networks for friendship, relationship, social networking, business, or entertainment. One joins it by creating an account, providing the required personal information/description, or company information. A member is represented as an account user through the personal profile, a social link, and other services. Members share their interests, activities, and interact with one another. Examples of these social networks are Facebook, Googable, YouTube, Badoo, Friendster, Twitter, Bebo, MySpace, Linkedln, and Multiply.

A few emerging sites with new features are foursquare, google buzz, loopt, blippy, and groupon. Membership in these popular social media sites can provide a list of benefits. It is a venue for establishing friendships, relationships, building support networks, forming new business ideas, and business connections. According to Wikipedia, an estimated 200 social networking sites worldwide had been reported as of 2008.

Social networking sites have been evolving as another medium for internet business strategy. People post messages, photos, videos, and links for the purpose of distributing marketing messages. You can actually increase your sales by posting links to your main website in these social media networking sites. Aside from building personal friendship, or relationships, the other purposes of social media are:

¨ as venue for self-expression (blogs, forums)

¨ socio-economic advocacies for the common good

¨ Exchange of information/ideas among the members of the network,

¨ Real-time broadcasts for various purposes

¨ Educational communication tool between teachers and students

¨ Grassroots organizing for some sectors of society

¨ Career Development, Employment opportunities/internship

¨ business networking for various purposes

¨ global advertising

¨ Building brand image and brand networking

¨ Social media pages are now admissible as court evidence

¨ Other related purposes

You can expand your business quickly by creating user accounts in these various social sites and by inviting the members of your social networks to view the products or services in your website.

Trusting relationships can be developed through simple ways such as: 1) Welcoming new friends, 2) communicating your positive values in your activity updates; 3) sharing learning experiences, 4)posting helpful tips, 5) greeting friends on their birthdays and other significant occasions, 6) sending them personal messages, 7) writing positive, inspiring comments, 8) using bookmarks, setting up widgets, feeds, rss; and by 9)optimizing your social media sites through the use of appropriate keywords and phrases.

You can engage your friends to comment by posting interesting, timely, helpful, or exciting newsbits or comments. This is a way of proving that you’re giving value to your friends/prospective customers. This is an effective way to build trusting and lasting relationships. Trust is the basic foundation of all relationships so when it is time to start selling, it is prudent to ask permission first.

Your business can gain online friends and customers through social networking. You can keep on adding friends or groups to grow your social network, establish relationships, build trust among your friends through friendly messages, notes, posts, and links. Gradually work your way towards your goal, which is, of course, your marketing goal. The key indicators of your success would be the 1) growth of your network, 2) the number of site visits, 4) comments, impressions, 5) leads, sales leads, and 6) revenue.

Whatever your reason for using these social media sites, the same etiquette observed in other social settings apply:

1. Don’t use your personal account for your business. Create a separate business page or account.

2. Respect everybody. If you happen to know a friend’s secret, keep it private. Do not carelessly broadcast it on his/her wall.

3. Quality over quantity. Build quality friendship. Choose your friends. Quality relationships usually last longer and are more reliable.

4. Don’t push your product, service, or envelopes much too often. Once every 6 months would be enough. Remember that, except for a few new additions, you are dealing with almost the same set of friends/contacts every day. The more you persist, the more likely they will resist, until you get purged from their list.

5. Multiple posts in a single day could choke the home pages of those with over 3000 friends. This could prompt some members to hide or completely remove certain posts to free their display.

6. Review your posts before sharing/publishing them. Is it the truth? Or something of value, beneficial, fair, or just?

Sleepless in Manila

2011-02-23T18:35:00.000-08:00

National legislations and local ordinances imposing non-disruptive behavior in public places, especially in school zones, churches, and residential neighborhoods are too numerous. Most of these “silence” regulations are usually implemented at night in due respect for people who sleep at night and work during the day. The fact that most people are usually asleep and quiet at evening time promotes tranquility for their fellow nighttime sleepers.

On the other hand, thousands of daytime sleepers, such as call center agents who, in their own humble way, contribute significantly to the economy of the country, are still not protected by any such legislation. These agents who have to work at night and sleep during the day cannot enjoy the same peace and quiet in the neighborhood because it is during the day that most people engage in the hard, sometimes loud, pursuit of personal interests and goals. People are preoccupied with their trade and transactions, actively participating in community social affairs and door-to-door dealings. They boast of their singing voices and ear-popping music, especially during festive merrymaking. It is during the day that phones are ringing, TV sets are blaring, road workers are drilling, cars are honking, dogs are barking, and little kids are screaming.

A law protecting the right of night workers to a restful slumber during the daytime in a peaceful environment that observes the same placid privilege of nighttime sleepers, is becoming necessary. After all, not every call center agent enjoys the comfort of sound-proofed bedroom walls in spacious homes. -Copyright 2009, Maria Francia Bengco

AN EMERGING NEW WAVE OF MODERN-DAY HEROES

2011-02-23T18:16:00.000-08:00

Overseas Contract Workers (OFW) are considered to be the country’s modern-day heroes because of the huge remittances they send home that boost the country’s economy. Moreover, in their noble goal of providing better lives for their families, they sacrifice a lot by being away from their loved ones, by being alone and lonely at night, to work and interact with a foreign culture, in a distant foreign land.

There are nurses who work as caregivers, doctors who work as nurses, artists who work as singers, dancers, or general entertainers, engineers who work as technical support personnel, and even licensed teachers who work as domestic helpers. They try to raise their families from a distance. A few of them becoming oppressed laborers and slaves, sometimes coming home in crutches, physically and psychologically disabled. A number of them even come home in wooden caskets. The foreign remittances of these modern-day heroes sent through the formal channels range from US$6B – $8B (2006-2008) every year. This amount goes directly to their families, with the government getting only a certain percentage of it in the form of taxes. The net income that the government earns from these remittances is approximately P11.5 B each year. The foreign currency, of course, remains in the government coffers.

To show its concern over the OFWs’ wellbeing and plight, the government provides assistance in the form of contingency funds, helpdesks, and other support mechanisms. Philippine consulates in these foreign lands are also provided with an annual budget for this purpose. In addition, national-level politicians include OFWs’ concerns among their top priority projects. As there are millions of these OFWs, their votes, as well as those of their relatives, comprise millions, too.

In comparison, today’s contact center agents have their own form of sacrifices, too. They work during the so-called graveyard shift, risking limb and life to muggers, hustlers, and snatchers who, alongside them, under the cover of darkness, also ply their shady trade. These agents sometimes miss a considerable amount of sleep during the day because it is easier to get sufficient sleep during normal nighttime rest hours when everybody else is asleep and quiet. Daytime sleep is affected by all the hustle and bustle of people’s daytime trades, chores, and leisure and entertainment activities. Despite all these, agents are expected to perform to their optimum at work. Drawing quick breaths in-between high-frequency calls, they expel the same life-sustaining air during each customer interaction, with the same air-sucking cycle repeated almost a hundred times during each working night. Their job performance is measured meticulously by the so-called balanced scorecards, a strategic planning and management system which had evolved from the original design of Kaplan and Norton.

Moreover, despite their working at odd hours, contact center agents are still able to raise a family, continue their own college or graduate schooling, send their own children to school, attend community socio-civic activities, and even maintain leisure schedules for their own and their family’s wellbeing. A considerable number of female contact agents are solo parents, raising one or two kids. These agents dutifully carry out their work responsibility of serving the needs of the clients’ customers. They have to maintain customer satisfaction so that the clients would be able to maintain and expand their businesses at lower operating and administrative costs. This is how contact center agents contribute significantly, not just to the national, but also to the global economy; significantly fueling the economy as their numbers increase each year.

According to PEZA, the country now has 788 Contact Centers in over 20 key cities and with an approximate two hundred sixty thousand employees. The Board of Investments predicted this number to grow to 431,000. In an investment –friendly political environment, this prediction could materialize.

The government has tagged the contact center business as the "Sunshine industry" because of its very fast and massive expansion over the last 10 years. These contact center agents are the same people who make this sunshine industry one of the strong pillars of the Philippine economy. With an approximate 260,000 plus agents paying income taxes every year at an approximate average of P30,000 to P38,000 per agent per year, this translates to a net income of approximately P7.8B to P9.88B for the Philippine government. It is the net amount, and it’s fast approaching the figure earned by the government from the recorded official OFW remittances each year. With moderately strong purchasing power, contact center agents infuse money into the financial system steadily throughout the year, not just during certain peak seasons, such as Christmas, which is the seasonal market infusion by the family-beneficiaries of our OFWs. In addition, the government also benefits from the corporate taxes paid by every BPO/Contact Center company. The industry’s growth is assured, as long as investor-friendly executives are elected to top government posts.

So we have our modern-day heroes, the OFWs, with strong foreign currency remittances. And we also have our contact center agents, with their equally strong income tax payments and steady purchasing infusion into the market. Could they be the strong reasons this economy is staying afloat? Could they not be considered an emerging new wave of modern-day heroes? If this is so, perhaps the government can also establish the same support mechanism that it provides to OFWs. Currently, internal support and care is provided by the BPO/Contact Center companies to its employees. But outside of the work environment, in the dark streets of the cities, these agents who rub elbows with the hoodlums who also work during the same odd hours of the night, also need the protection of the government. Perhaps police outposts could be established in strategic areas for this purpose? The company- hired security guards are expected to protect the best interests of the company, and these workers, the agents, need some protection outside of the company premises. The local police is equipped with the mandate, the weapon, and the power to apprehend these criminals, or to engage them in hand to hand or armed combat.

Let us make our streets safe for all; and during the graveyard hours, let us make these streets safe for our emerging modern-day heroes. Heroes need not be dead. They can help the country better if they are alive. –copyright 2009, Ma. Francia O. Bengco

WRITING FOR DIFFERENT AUDIENCES

2011-02-17T00:52:00.000-08:00

Do you blog for your friends alone and some intended group of acquaintances? You probably have a very limited audience then. Would you rather be read by a larger, heterogeneous audience? Most writers aim to reach a wider audience for their particular story, campaign, promotion, or advocacy. The term “audience” is generally defined as a group of readers, viewers, or listeners who collectively read a particular written content, or view & listen to an audio-visual material. In this particular context, we are referring to an internet audience for your online electronic content.

Audiences come in all ages, shapes, sizes, and backgrounds. They also read your content for different intents and purposes. Your particular audience will understand you better if you adjust your language to convey your message better. Let’s look at the profiles of our eight types of audiences and how to gear your content for them.

1. The Knowledgeable Children or Youth. They are the schoolchildren, the teenagers in or out of school, the youth who spends a lot of time finding helpful resources in the internet. They are internet savvy and are often interested in games, stories, homework pointers, graphics, social media, and a lot of other things which may not even be for kids. They are usually not your target audience but they are capable of judging your content, and if they find it extremely helpful, they will share it with their parents or other mature family members or relatives. This group needs an action-packed, descriptive vocabulary and a simple content presented in a more exciting form such as a video or interactive text.

2. The Lay or Non-Specialists. They usually know a little bit of almost all the things in life, work, business, technology, art, & science; yet they need to master at least one of these many things. They don’t possess expert knowledge and require graphical descriptions and more detailed information about most topics. It is quite easy to attract their attention. You can adjust your style, tone, and terminology to maintain their interest. They need visuals for easy comprehension.

3. The Executives or Managers. They are usually most knowledgeable about their own field of specialization or particular industry. They also know about many things, but they usually require a lot of supporting data and recommendations before they can arrive at conclusions, choices, or important decisions. Your writing must also appeal to the majority of people in their particular industry.

4. Academic Theorists & Non-Practitioner-Mentors. Like the experts and specialists, they need a well-written, well-documented paper. More than that, they want something new and interesting which should also be fully supported with references, citations, and peer review from fellow academicians, not necessarily from the field practitioners. They are well adjusted to reading gazettes, academic & government publications containing the so-called professional jargon. If you use dialectics, officious stock phrases, and high-handed language, they will find familiarity with such; but at the same time, they recognize and appreciate forthright, clear, and most concise writing.

5. Technicians, Specialists, & Experts. They require a completely specialized vocabulary when you write about their interests--the latest news about technology, science, and industry. The technicians & specialists know how a product works and how to repair it. The experts had designed the product, tested it, and know it inside out. They need actual peer tests & reviews, and with full documentation. Invite them to comment on your content and to share their expertise with others.

6. Specific Communities or Groups. Whether it is small or big, a group is a good target audience for advocacies, promotions, marketing, & other campaigns. Their collective choices, preferences, decisions and plans of action are easily arrived at through their group discussions and the collaborative/supportive efforts among the leadership & members. They usually have clear goals and targets achieved through open communication channels. Writing for them requires good convincing power through a simple, clear language. Convincing their leaders usually means convincing the entire group.

7. The Consumer. They seek the complete (usually comparative) information about certain products with the aim of making the best choice. They don’t want to make the mistake of spending their money on a product that won’t serve their needs, purposes, taste, or preferences. Product reviews help the consumer by: giving them relevant information about the product, help them save time and money, and lead towards product enhancements.

8. General Audience. If you have a readership of at least fifty thousand, there’s a huge probability that your audience is an assortment of types. Adjusting your readability level will help convey your message better. Most writers of marketing and advertising copies, target a general audience for a wider variability of readership and a larger probability of marketing success. A well arranged, well-illustrated, well written product user’s manual is a good example of a content written for the general audience. It is properly organized in a step by step procedure and easy vocabulary. Although it has technical content, it can be understood by the ordinary product user. Content for the general audience need not always be illustrated though. The use of clear, simple, powerful descriptive language is usually sufficient to convey your message. Your message could further spread to a larger audience through the ripple effect. Use appropriate style and structure and arrange the right information in the right way so that your reader can see the connection of all the sections. The consumer groups belong to this category, but falls under a highly specific type of general audience category.

There’s a need to consider these two things in writing your content: 1) writer’s purpose, and 2) intended and unintended audience. Achieve your purpose through a clear and powerful language that easily convinces your specific intended (target) audience. Spread your message further to the unintended audience through word of mouth. A satisfied audience shares your message with their loved ones and friends. Your beneficial message has triumphed if it has been shared and continuously shared with many people. Write something truly helpful and your message will remain in the hearts and minds or your present and future audience. Why not start touching them all today?

IS THERE ANYTHING AT ALL THAT ISNT GOOGABLE?

2010-08-26T17:16:00.000-07:00

It’s a lot easier to find answers in Google than in any library catalog, book, or encyclopedia. You can save a lot of time and energy because you don’t have to sort through trillions of indexes or pages. Google does the sorting for you. It has the Googlebot which finds and fetches web pages, it has the Indexer that sorts and stores every word on every page, and it has the Query Processor which matches your search with the most relevant database entry. In a matter of seconds, you find what you’re looking for. Google’s mission is “to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful.” After all, knowledge isn’t knowledge unless it is shared.

There’s more to Google than just information handling. It is a brand name, and it ranks first among the world’s top global brands. It is the world’s biggest repository of knowledge. You can find nearly every information you need – the world’s top records, glossaries, directories, catalogs, dictionaries, thesaurus, encyclopedias, publishers, magazines, newspapers, full text language translators, global clock, financing, grants, scholarships, history, quotations, biographies, music, literature, art, science, math, stores, malls, maps, universities, jobs, professional services, home products, celebrity news, technology updates, industrial products, cars, real estate, medical help, free music files, free videos, free eBooks, free games, free images, photos, tutorials, law gazettes, the laws of the world & the laws of the web, educational networks –the list is endless. Whatever it is, just google it and you’ll get it.

Google is also a global company with more than 70 offices all over the world and 21,805 employees from different countries. There’s a Google University that offers free tutorials and an open source code. Google also offers products and services such as social media, shopping cart, industrial goods and services, computers, Adwords, Adsense, Alerts, Analytics, Answers, content submission gateways, blog search, scholarships, mobile services, free calls, detailed search tools, recreation, food recipes, programming help, interactive satellite maps/locators, a product directory, a business directory, shopping list, a newsletter, Gmail, a foundation, grants program, groups, free translation tool, a community service program, web accelerator, a video upload program, world news, the Orkut social networking, screensaver, free software pack, travel, references, celebrity news, movies, laboratory, book search, research publication, page rank/site stats/ratings, ride finder, cars, gifts, religion, sports, YouTube, Blogspot, and the list of Google products, services, & affiliates keeps on growing.

Google is the internet’s most visited website, according to Alexa (the web information company that provides statistical information about websites such as traffic, ranking, etc.) It is not only the best but also the most powerful brand in the world, according to Brandz, and the fourth best place to work in according to Fortune Magazine. During its initial public offering, a Google share was worth US$85, today it ranges from $481-$490 and had a record high of $700 per share.

Google is not just a search engine, it is evolving to become a part of our daily life. It is a powerful tool for progress and development. The eCommerce, the ebooks, and all the electronic information that Google shares with all help us save a lot of paper, and our precious trees. Google is a noun, and it is also a verb (i.e. “Please don’t ask me, just google your question.” and an adjective: “Is there anything at all that isn’t googable?” Try googling your name or the name of a long-lost friend. If you’re in Facebook, or Friendster, or Linkedin, Google will find you. If you’ve been in the web for quite some time now, don’t be surprised to find your personal info in Google. Anything that is in the web can be found through Google. If your name automatically appears in the search bar after you’ve typed only a few letters, then you’re in the index of Google. Send me an info if you got something significant that isn’t Googable yet, and we’ll submit it to Google. - Ma. Francia Bengco (copyright assigned to Webnovation )
