The Office of English Imperialism Versus the Office de la Langue Française

noreply@blogger.com (Aimee Davison) — Wed, 20 Feb 2013 18:58:00 +0000

Because the Office Québécois de la Langue Française attacked and fined Buonanotte for its use of "pasta" in its menu, I decided to make some calls as the "Office of English Imperialism" to French restaurants operating in Toronto:

Your thoughts on the language police, Bill 101, Bill 14 and the policies of the OQLF?

Opt-in Only: Three Cents a Share?!

noreply@blogger.com (Aimee Davison) — Wed, 18 Jul 2012 17:57:00 +0000

I was pleased to find out today that Yellow Media's stock has plunged to $0.03 and that usage of phone books is now so poor that Calgarians need to be reminded that they can still request residential phone directories. Paper phone books have clearly outlived their usefulness, per the interview I gave to OpenFile Montreal in April, 2012.

I was not very pleased, however, to find out that a whole stack of mini Yellow Page directories had been delivered to my apartment building again:

They have been here since last week and nobody wants them.

Please sign my petition to encourage Environment Canada to create opt-in only legislation for paper phone directories.

Share, sign and tweet:

I'll be on CBC Radio Montreal this afternoon at 3:40 discussing my petition and the demise of the Yellow Pages.

Lobbying for Age-restricted Ads on YouTube

noreply@blogger.com (Aimee Davison) — Sat, 14 Jul 2012 18:42:00 +0000

Hello Jobbers!

I just launched a new sexy YouTube crusade called #SAVETHEBOOBS.

I'm collecting signatures on Change.org to persuade YouTube to create an ad system for age-restricted content.

www.change.org/en-CA/petitions/youtube-should-offer-partners-ads-for-mature-content-not-porn

Here's a DailyDot article from yesterday about the cause:

http://www.dailydot.com/business/youtube-boobs-reply-girls-advertising/

Currently, if a video gets flagged on YouTube and is determined to contain mature and/or suggestive content (not porn; think: adult humour), the video loses its ads, its search ranking and requires users 18 years of age or older to sign in to view it. This hurts video producers because they lose out on their ability to generate revenue, despite demand for their content or how much time and money was invested into its creation.

Also, I found that that age-restriction happens disproportionately to female creators and that some creators get away with profiting from sexy content that others would be demonetized for. For example, a male comedian can interview Jordan Carver, have her make a coffee by pulling ingredients from her large bust and still run ads: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-r274hyCghY, whereas Jenna Marbles comically discusses what girls think about during sex and suffers an age-restriction: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xxkE30elDk.

Therefore, I want YouTube to create a system where advertisers can choose to opt-in to run ads against videos that have been age-restricted. It would end the double standard of some creators being able to run ads against suggestive content with impunity and it would also allow women to dress sexy and discuss or joke about sex without fearing that their ads may be taken away by flagging.

Please sign my petition and #SAVETHEBOOBS on YouTube:

First World Girl Problems

noreply@blogger.com (Aimee Davison) — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 18:08:00 +0000

Because most of us have it super good in North America, I decided to launch the "First World [X] Problems" meme. Here is my first video from the series and I will be getting other YouTubers to release their own "First World Problems" videos!

So, why does my nail polish chip so easily? I wish my clothing always looked new, too.

Also, I wanted to alert you all about a site that offers software for Performance Management & Performance Appraisals. As an entrepreneur, I haven't had a performance appraisal in a while, but I imagine for larger organizations, such software would essential in order to keep the workforce well-managed.

The Non-Visible Business of Non-Visible Art

noreply@blogger.com (Aimee Davison) — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 21:59:00 +0000

I have a shocking announcement to make: After six months, Praxis Art never sent me or gave me anything I was entitled to after I spent $10 000 USD on their "Non-Visible Art" Kickstarter project. My bank is disputing the transaction and has refunded my money. Here is a video explaining the situation:

On a positive note, I am in the process of writing my e-book about my two year "One Hundred Jobs" project, which will include a chapter on my Praxis Art experience.

Monetize This.

noreply@blogger.com (Aimee Davison) — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 22:27:00 +0000

After 2 years and 75 000 upload views, YouTube monetized my One Hundred Jobs YouTube channel as part of their new monetization program. I was shocked that they finally extended the offer; it means that I can finally make ad revenue on all of my vlog episodes!

It's slightly overwhelming, though, because I spent hours this weekend reviewing my old content (how far I've come!) and filling out copyright info for over 100 videos. I will also be seeding my banked content on sites like Reddit and Buzzfeed soon, in hopes of getting a new influx of traffic and now valuable views.

Confession: I'm especially anxious because the new monetization option makes me want to immediately release a bigger, better second season of OneHundredJobs. I want Google to become one of my bigger clients and I want to be YouTube famous (the new fame!!!!!). Getting monetized brings me closer to that goal, which is an accomplishment I should be proud of after years of hard work and commitment to the unclear path.

IN OTHER JOBS:

I still do not have 1000 fans for Job 28, as arbitrary as some could argue the number/challenge to be, but I'm creating a "Psychology of Like" video next week that will hopefully push me into the completion zone. For Job 89, Mobovivo locked down the next two weeks to finish my voiceover work for them, so I am considering Job 89 complete. As for Job 99 and Job 100, I met with a Canadian stamp expert last week who thinks that my Canadian stamps are worth nothing (which I already knew) and who referred me to an American stamp appraiser. It looks like I will likely make more money selling stamps on E-bay individually than through a dealer, a task that I will undertake in the upcoming weeks.

Finally, for Job 100, I have sold over $1000 of Twitter advertising on MillionDollarTwitPage. Early adopters like the discount fashion and lifestyle retalier Dinstinct, InfoSecurity.pro pro Todd Plesco and the amazing Italian beer Birra Moretti all purchased squares. Remember, it's only as little as $100 to buy Twitter advertising for 7 years and be a part of our new vlog, which we intend to do interesting things with:

The 100th job setback I alluded to last week: our first sponsor, who shall remain nameless, deceived us and pulled out of the MillionDollarTwitpage project without paying for her month of ads, so I had to reedit the first episode of the MillionDollarTwitPage vlog and revise our sponsorship pitch package. However, her unethical behaviour did not kill our commitment to the project and I will continue to sell squares and create YouTube promotional content for the businesses who buy in for as long as there are spaces remaining. It's my job.

Before retirement, the jobs never end!

Aimee.

2 Years and New Mountains

noreply@blogger.com (Aimee Davison) — Mon, 12 Sep 2011 19:25:00 +0000

It's hard to believe it's been exactly two years since I launched 100 Jobs. I am so very close to finishing this project and moving on to new ventures, despite some recent setbacks, which I'll get into later this week. My one request: if you haven't already, please fan me on Facebook because I need 1000 fans to close Job 28. I am doing a draw at fan 500 and 1000 and creating a credit video of everyone who fans me.

I'm saving the speeches for another day, and wanted to share with you this year's Yellow Page Mountain, in English and in French. This time, I want to deliver my new mountain, which will likely be converted into a sculpture, to the appropriate government office and lobby for opt-in legislation.

I can't think of a better way to celebrate my two year anniversary than some Social Media Art and Internet activism,

Job 99: Surprise Philatelist?

noreply@blogger.com (Aimee Davison) — Tue, 23 Aug 2011 01:27:00 +0000

Have you ever fantasized about buying a painting at a garage sale and hitting the jackpot during an appraisal on the Antiques Roadshow? Or have you ever had the common dream about stumbling upon a big bag of cash that you could keep? That may have just happened to me today because I took a risk and shelled out $70.00 for a stamp collection at a second hand store.

I bought the stamp collection at the Salvation Army, which is pictured in part, for $70.00 Canadian. The stamps were all tossed into a large Ziplock bag. They wanted $75.00, I offered $35.00 and we settled on $70.00. It contains at least a thousand stamps, some in mint condition.

The collection contains both American and Canadian stamps from as early as the turn of the 20th century.

The stamps pictured here are worth $18.99
EACH.

TL;DR I may have bought over $5000 in stamps for $70.00.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
