text: How Oprah Turned OWN Around Print article Send a Tip by John Nolte 19 Aug 2013 post a comment On the first day of January in 2011, the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) debuted in 80 million homes. Fifteen months later the network was in complete ruins. OWN's ratings had become a national joke, the network's highest profile star, Rosie O'Donnell, had been fired, and rumors swirled that OWN's backers (Discovery Communications, who had poured $250 million into the venture) -- were prepared to pull the plug. Then Oprah got serious. Love her or hate her, no one can argue Oprah Winfrey isn't brilliant, capable, and driven. In just a little over a year, the former daytime talk titan would take charge of her collapsing network and perform one of the most remarkable turnarounds in television history. When OWN first debuted it took over an obscure channel most cable customers didn't even know they had: Discovery Health. After completing its first year, OWN was actually drawing fewer viewers than its predecessor -- 8% fewer, or 136,000 daytime viewers. Things were nearly as bad in primetime where OWN averaged only 247,000 viewers, 3,000 fewer than Discovery Health. It was at this point that the media started to write underdog stories about the billionaire media mogul as she announced she would take over as the network's sole creative director and give the network her full attention. Part of the problem had been that through the first half of 2011, Oprah was still hosting her successful and iconic daytime talk show. With her energies and attentions divided, OWN was really the Oprah Winfrey-less network. While its namesake was drawing on average 6.7 million daytime viewers in November of 2009 (when she announced her retirement), the misguided and entitled thinking had been that enough of those same viewers would automatically turn off Oprah's daytime show and turn on Oprah's network, and make it a success. That plan nearly sunk the ship. While there was speculation that Oprah's public and game-changing 2007 endorsement of Barack Obama over Hillary Clinton might have damaged Oprah's brand with women, that is arguable. While Winfrey did lose somewhere between 7% and 9% of her audience in 2009, some ratings analysts attributed that fall to an overall dip in television viewership. (For example, television stalwarts Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune experienced similar decreases.) Regardless of the reason for the 2009 ratings drop, by the middle of 2011, as the final broadcast of her daytime show drew near, all was apparently forgiven. Oprah's ratings were huge, and the finale would draw a whopping 16.4 million viewers. None of this success, though, was translating to OWN. Other than not having enough Oprah, most television observers agree that OWN's main problem was programming. Hired to be a primetime building block, the politically divisive Rosie O'Donnell proved a disaster. Other reality and documentary shows revolved around Ryan and Tatum O'Neal, Shania Twain, The Judds, and Sarah Ferguson. There was also huge blocks of Dr. Phil and true crime documentaries. By the time Rosie was dropped at the end of March of 2012, the highest rated show was Oprah's Next Chapter. The then-three month old talk show featured Oprah and interviews with "newsmakers, celebrities, thought leaders and real-life families." Her chats with the likes of pastor Joel Osteen, Chris Christie, and George Lucas didn't break any records, but the network's profile was raised and Oprah herself was anchoring her own primetime and the hemorrhaging had stopped. By October of 2012, OWN's ratings were on the upswing: The network closed its third consecutive quarter of year-over-year, double-digit ratings gains across primetime and total day in the key women 25-54 demo (+63% and +70% respectively) and saw triple-digit ratings growth in September This is the same month Oprah would deliver her masterstroke -- a deal with Tyler Perry, one of the most prolific, popular, and successful moguls in almost every field of entertainment, including television. Winfrey inked an exclusive deal with Perry that would give OWN the rights to all of his television projects. Six months later, OWN was a ratings success, bringing in more black women in the 25-54 demo than any other network (including BET), but also pulling in high numbers of women in general. Not only were Tyler Perry's two scripted shows doing well, but so were other primetime scripted, interview, and reality shows: Oprah's Next Chapter, Iyanla: Fix My Life, Raising Whitley, Life with LaToya, Super Soul Sunday, and Dark Girls. Basically, Oprah decided to out-BET BET for black primetime viewers, and it paid off. Although BET has been a household brand for thirty years, OWN has shattered that monopoly: Last week, OWN was the No. 2 network among African-American women ages 25 to 54 years in primetime, — behind only TNT, which was airing the NBA playoffs, according to Nielsen data. BET came in third place. As the New York Post points out, it wasn't Oprah's original intention to aim her network at black audiences, but OWN…. …has found its footing among that audience with "Welcome to Sweetie Pies," a reality show set in a soul food restaurant, and "Iyanla Fix My Life," a self-help documentary series. OWN is backed by Oprah's Harpo and Discovery Communications, which promises OWN will hit profitability by the end of this year. Meanwhile, OWN is giving BET a run for its money. Over the past 12 months, BET has lost primetime viewers while OWN has gained, according to an analysis by Horizon Media research chief Brad Adgate. BET averaged 714,000 viewers in primetime, down from 816,000 in the period spanning June 2011 to May 2012. Over the same time, Oprah's average audience rose from 250,000 to 315,000. While black audiences (especially women) might make up OWN's core, the network is also doing well with women in general. Just a couple of months ago, out of the hundred or so ad-supported cable channels, OWN ranked 12th in all women ages 25-54. And it is only a few days a week of Oprah's primetime hours that resemble BET. Dr. Phil, soap operas like All My Children, Dateline reruns, and true crime documentaries still dominate OWN's overall schedule. A high-profile deal with Lindsay Lohan is Winfrey's latest high-stakes gamble -- but one she can afford to take. OWN is now a profitable enterprise. Many new cable networks struggle in their first months and years. OWN's near-death experience only received so much attention because of its attachment to Oprah and the fact that it was considered a slam-dunk. At this point, objectively, one would have to admit that Oprah's remarkable OWN turnaround overshadows the network's early failure. Follow John Nolte on Twitter @NolteNC

November 21, 2014
ATLANTA (AP) -- A Harvard survey has found that most Americans know about a peanut-driven national salmonella outbreak but many are wrong about what products are involved.
About 93 percent know about the outbreak and recall.
But about 1 in 4 mistakenly think that national peanut butter brands are involved in the outbreak-spurred product recalls, while less than half are worrying about recalled snack bars, baked goods, ice cream and dry-roasted peanuts.
The poll also indicated little faith in corporations and the government. Only 1 in 3 Americans said they have a good or great amount of confidence in food manufacturers or government inspectors to keep food safe.
The telephone survey included nearly 1,300 U.S. adults. The interviews were done last week.

Multicentric randomised trial. Patients with a high risk of developing colorectal Peritoneal Carcinomatosis (PC) after resection of their primary will be informed, will sign the consent and will be pre-registered. All patients will receive the current standard adjuvant treatment : 6 months of systemic chemotherapy (currently the Folfox-4 regimen which could be modified if the standard is modified). Then a work-up is done to exclude recurrence. The likelihood of a recurrence is low but if this occurs, the patient will not be randomised and will be treated with the best known treatment. If the work-up is negative, patients will be randomised to surveillance alone (control group) or exploratory laparotomy + HIPEC (experimental group).

WELCOME TO THE OFFICIAL WEBSITE OF OFFERCentre...
Oluponna Fish Farming Education and Resource Centre is
a non-governmental organisation owned by the Catholic Church. It
started with a farm bought in 1984 by the Archbishop of Ibadan, Most
Rev. Dr. Felix Adeosin Alaba Job. In 2006,
under the direction of Rev. Fr. Macarius Olatunji, the current
director of the Centre, it became an agric
training centre for
the indigent youths of Nigeria.
Our dream is of a polity where the youths are empowered to be
self-reliant. The importance of this project towards humanity is
recognised and thus supported by various corporate bodies and
individuals. Thanks to this support, we already trained more than
100 youths in the art and act of fish
farming, integrated farming, computer skills and wholistic personal
OFFERCentre, as we are fondly called, is an unfolding dream as we
strive to make a difference in our community. We invite you to be
part of our dream and share in its actualisation.
OFFERCentre has forayed into various aspects of Agriculture to
promote a positive attitude towards agricultural practices in
general in the training of the budding fish farmer. Our students are
exposed to and trained in the care of Sheep and Goats, Quails,
Layers, Rabbits, Broilers, Bees, etc.
The Centre has a crop department with a palm plantation,
vegetable garden and an orchard with varieties of fruits (pineapple,
orange, mango,etc).
At OFFERCentre, we still have aesthetics at heart. We carry out our
activities bearing the important place of neatness, finesse and
aethetics in mind.
"OFFERCentre is a beauty to behold!"
We have heard this from visitors a number of times and we work hard
to keep it that way and even build on it. We sincerely invite you to
come, pay visits to us and if possible offer us tips on how to make
OFFERCentre better. We expect you!
There is a formal training programme set within one year. From
September to August, an aspiring fish farmer is shaped. The session
is filled with theoretical classwork and practical field work. We
intend optimum growth and equal opportunities for all and so the
selection of students cuts across creed, race, tribe or colour. As
witness of our success already six (6) sets of students have been
6th set of students, year 2012-2013
We intend to empower farmers and increase their yield. Many want to
go into fish farming but know not how to. OFFERCentre has planned
seminars and workshops which come up periodically. This site is a
veritable source of knowing when such takes place. The Catholic
Weekly Independent Newspaper of the Catholic Archdiocese of Ibadan
is also a good place to have this information.
Please note however, that our seminars and workshops range from
week-end courses for a month specially programmed for Corpers, 2
weeks, 3 months and 4 months courses.
This programme is a new initiative by the Centre to bridge the gap
between the completion of secondary education and awaiting admission
into Tertiary Institutions by young girls and boys. This branch was
introduced in June 2011.
Successful Candidates will be given training in Hospitality
Management, Catering, Computer Literacy, Videography and
Photography, Adire making, Beed making and wireworks. Thus equipped
they could become self employed or self reliant.
To improve the standard of
living of the people in rural communities and ultimately improve the
protein consumption of the nation.
To train and empower
people, particularly the youths, through the acquisition of skills
in fish production and management, integrated farming, computer
literacy and entrepreneuship irrespective of race, colour or tribe.
To use the Centre to draw
the Youths from the precipice of the Culture of Death and empower
them so as to live meaningful lives. As the saying goes "If you
teach a man to breed fish, you feed him and help him feed his
community for a lifetime". It is not only cost-effective but
promotes Human Development.
The training of indigent
youths in fish production and management, with special reference to
Catfish and Tilapia.
1. The creation of employment opportunities for the beneficiaries
through provision of a revolving loan in material terms to establish
their own farm.
2. To assist the local fish farmers to upgrade their level of
production and invariably their standard of living through seminars
and workshops.
3. The establishment of small scale fish farms and formation of fish
farmer's cooperative group that will be of great benefit to the
people and to the country at large.
4. The establishment of an e-library with relevant books and
materials to provide information for the people especially farmers.
5. To provide consultancy services to assist intending and
established farmers in fish production through technical assistance.
6. Development of integrated farming in areas of horticulture and
animal husbandry.
7. Production of quality fingerlings, juveniles, brood stock, and
table size fishes, seedling and seeds, eggs to improve the protein
consumption of our people.
8. Provision of a serene natural environment for retreats,
relaxation and conferences.

Nine Practical Guides to Public Speaking and PresentationsTuesday, October 14th, 2014
Whether you're the type of person who eagerly dashes off a proposal for every speaking opportunity that comes your way, or the type who avoids the spotlight as much as possible, public speaking—delivering presentations to our peers, customers, prospects, or other audiences—is a part of virtually every marketing and PR professional's life. And something most of us could improve at.

2. While two out of three U.S. CMOs say they feel pressure from the top to prove the value of marketing, just 51% of CEOs agree "that marketing's financial value is clear to the business." (MarketingCharts)
3. That's likely because only 45% of CMOs are confident "that they know which metrics or business outcomes their key stakeholders care about." (MarketingCharts)
4. "Data analytics are currently most commonly used by B2B marketing leaders to measure and report marketing's performance (64%), as well as to justify (55%) and allocate (52%) the marketing budget. Analytics are least commonly used to fine-tune the marketing mix (14%)." (MarketingCharts)

Stacy Thompson highlights three key elements to take into account in order to avoid wasting your (and your prospective audience's) time, including relevance: "content that neglects to factor in the preferences of the reader is nothing more than what CMI (the Content Marketing Institute) defines as 'informational garbage.'"
Building Content Marketing Strategy – 10 Steps by B2B Marketing Insider
Michael Brenner (again) lists and expands upon 10 key steps for developing a content marketing strategy, such as stepping into your customer's shoes to understand their point of view on what constitutes valuable content, and going mulit-format—maximizing the value of your content by repurposing a white paper as a series of blog posts, a YouTube video, and a SlideShare presentation.

#2: 30 Remarkable Content Marketing Facts and Statistics for 2013 (and 2014)
33 Phenomenal Content Marketing and Copywriting Guides and TipsTuesday, April 23rd, 2013
Content marketing represents the most fundamental and widespread rethinking of marketing practices in decades. Unlike other modifiers attached to the discipline (consumer marketing, b2b marketing, trade show marketing, digital marketing), the term "content marketing" doesn't describe an audience, tactic, or channel, but rather a completely different approach to marketing.
Content marketing turns the dominant paradigm of the last half-century—interruption-based mass marketing—on its head. Rather than interrupting prospective customers with content they generally didn't want (product pitches) while they were consuming content they did (entertainment or news), content marketing entices targeted buyers with entertaining (consumer) or informative (b2b) content that also happens to reflect the company's brand messages or product/service strengths.
Disruptive as it is, this philosophical shift has spread widely and quickly: according to recent research, "86 percent of companies serving consumers and 92 percent of 'business to business' companies now use content marketing."
Since content marketing itself is no longer a differentiator, practitioners are asking questions like: how can I efficiently create a steady stream of fresh, relevant content? What types of content are most valuable to my sales prospects? How can content be optimized to support search engine optimization (SEO) efforts? What metrics are most helpful in measuring success and support continual improvement?
Discover the answers to these questions and many more here in more than 30 of the best content marketing articles and blog posts of the past year.
Content Marketing Guides, Tips and Tactics
5 Ways to Clone Great Social Media Content by SteamFeed
Helpfully pointing out that "You likely already have strong content on hand (either on-line somewhere or even stuck in a file cabinet in your office.) Instead of developing new stuff from scratch, riff on/reuse this stockpile of awesomesauce and use it more strategically," Jennifer Kane proposes a handful of techniques to get more mileage out of existing content, such as "Drill down or spiral off on your content themes…if a piece of your preexisting content has resonated with your audience, consider using it as source material for a more in-depth examination of the topic or to jump off on a sub-topic tangent that will enable you to expand the perception your audience has of your brand."
Digital Natives: How They Are Changing the Content Marketing Game by Content Marketing Institute
Patricia Redsicker presents six strategies content marketers need to embrace in order to address the information needs and wants of digital natives–those born "between the mid-1970s and the late 1990s, (who) have grown up during our current golden age of digital technology. Now in their mid-teens to mid-thirties, people in this generation came of age knowing how to interact with technology and are comfortable using it to their advantage." Among her recommendations are focusing on content that builds trust, that efficiently answers simple questions quickly, and that makes content consumers feel valued.
Corporate Content Marketing for Best in Class Results by Creative Marketing Channel
Noting that "Best in class companies utilize content marketing for brand awareness, customer acquisition, lead generation, and customer retention" and that most companies plan to increase budgets in this area, Catherine Lockey answers six key questions about content marketing, such as "How do best in class companies create all of their great content?" The answer to that one is outsourcing; roughly half of all small companies and three-quarters of large firms outsource at least a portion of their content creation efforts.
Seeking Marketing Alpha by Propel Growth Blog
Though the panel discussion this post was written to promote is long past, the thoughts about content marketing shared here by Candyce Edelen are still well worth a read. "The Internet and email make it easier and cheaper to make noise, resulting in a virtual cacophony of marketing claims barraging customers every day – with everyone claiming to be 'the leading, number-one, unique, value-added, trusted provider' of 'robust, innovative, cutting-edge, high-performance, ultra low-latency technology….' Yawn. How can every vendor be the 'leading provider' anyway?"
Content Marketing in 6 Steps by Social Media Today
Steven Van Belleghem lays out "the 6 crucial steps to take in order to end up with a good content strategy," starting with topic selection (determining what's at the intersection of your company's unique internal expertise and the information needs/wants of your market) and proceeding through measuring marketing performance (based on the content marketing objectives you've established).
Long Live Content Marketing by Rebelations
Rebel Brown offers practical guidance on how to avoid self-promotion and salesy content that "will send your audiences running" and instead focus on providing value: "For example, let's say your audience is challenged by performance problems with their applications. Don't send them a piece of content all about your faster processor, database, system or whatever. That's obnoxious and pretty blatant self-promotion! Instead, share a piece of content about the key aspects of their infrastructure that they might want to check for problems. Share your expertise to guide them through the process to better understand their issues."
5 CEO-Worthy Metrics for Demonstrating Inbound Marketing Success by Marketo B2B Marketing Blog
Jon Miller outlines five key inbound marketing metrics to measure and continually improve content marketing success, such as lead generation by content and channel: "Beyond core organic traffic and leads, track lead generation by content asset and source. What sources are driving the most traffic? What kinds of content drive the most leads? The most revenue? It can also be insightful to track how these vary by product line or business unit."
Feeding The Content Marketing Beast – 7 Places to Find Cheap Content by Heidi Cohen
Noting that two of the biggest challenges content marketers face are "producing sufficient content" and "having enough budget to cover the cost of content," Heidi Cohen has compiled almost two dozen recommendations for developing content cost-effectively, from repurposing speeches delivered by company executives and soliciting employee contributions to reworking content from your distributors and suppliers.
What Tech Buyers Want From Content by Marketing Interactions
Ardath Albee reveals three key attributes that technology buyers value in marketing content, including freshness: "58% (of technology buyers in a UBM TechWeb survey) said they wanted content that was timely and current (while) only 11% said they'd consider content more than 18 moths old." If you've got older content that is still relevant to buyers, refresh it to keep it current with the state of your industry.
Don't Forget the 'Marketing' in Content Marketing by The Content Cocktail
Christina Pappas shares a seven-step checklist for making sure that your content contributes to company goals, without being too pushy or salesy, among them "Make sure there is an offer or connection to your product in every piece of content…every piece of content you publish should have some tie-back to your company and the solutions you provide to the market. This doesn't have to be obvious and it doesn't have to be smothered all over the thing, but it should be there somewhere," such as links to white papers or other related assets at the end of a blog post or report.
Exploring the Five Cs of Content Marketing at Cisco by IT Services Marketing Association
Sherri Liebo identifies the "5 Cs" that Cisco Services looks at to better listen to customers when creating and sharing marketing content, including Customers ("What are customers looking for?"), Competition ("What is the competition doing? How does Cisco Services compare?") and Collaborators ("What is happening with our channel and strategic partners?").
Research: B2B Buyers Want Content by Social Marketing Forum
J-P De Clerck summarizes findings from Base One's Buyersphere Survey regarding the content needs of business buyers. While the study focused on Europe, its findings are more broadly applicable, such as that "87% of…buyers look for advice before buying…The first source when doing so: Web searches. With 71% of respondents who look for information, searches are by far the main source of information." Among other findings:
- • Business buyers are most active in sharing content on forums, LinkedIn and blogs;
- • Younger members of the buying team are most likely to read white papers and blogs, and attend webinars; and
- • Buyers "who are working in IT were more likely to have downloaded whitepapers (36%) or read blogs (28%)" than those in other industries.
J-P has also launched a blog, Content Marketing Experience, focused exclusively on content marketing issues and guidance. His post Five Reasons No One Shares Your Content is spot on and well worth a read.
Content Marketing: 3 tips for how to get started by MarketingSherpa
Daniel Burstein dispels three myths than hold content marketers back or prevent them from getting the support they need within the organization, such as "'We don't want to give away our secrets.'
If you can't give potential customers enough information about how you do what you do (whether that is fixing plumbing leaks or improving marketing performance), then why should they trust you with their business?" And McDonald's "secret sauce" is (shhhh)…Thousand Island dressing.

Krista LaRiviere, CEO of web presence optimization software vendor gShift Labs, explains how recent Google algorithm changes (including more emphasis on social signals, the clampdown on low-value backlinks, the Google +1 button, and freshness updates) now make optimized, user-focused content more important than ever for search rankings.

Noting that "From an SEO viewpoint, the interest in great content is to attract links, where as a lot of what Google is looking to eliminate are examples of where content is used to build links"—particularly in the wake of its Panda and Penguin updates—Kieran Flanagan steps through an approach that puts business objectives first, with links and shares tracked but not viewed as the primary goal.
Infographics, Images and Video
5 Content Marketing Ideas Worth Stealing by jeffbullas.com
Jeff Bullas recommends five content marketing techniques for obtaining and retaining the attention of your prospective buyers by going beyond text: "Sometimes you need some inspiration and you need to try some new ideas and different media that may provide a nudge to try something different and creative outside your comfort zone…Images and photos are much more likely to be shared than an article or a white paper. Videos or infographics will be shared at high velocity compared the the humble 'written word' that have been with us for millenia."
7 Steps to Make Your Infographic a Success by SEOmoz
Infographics can be great for generating re-posts and inbound linke—if done properly.

Content Marketing and SEO: The world doesn't need another blog post by MarketingSherpa
Advising marketers to "focus on the message, not the medium" Daniel Burstein (again) offers half a dozen suggestions for taking content beyond blog posts and white papers, like creating a mobile app or a useful online tool "Like the ESPinator from ClickMail Marketing, which helps email marketers choose an ESP that helps them best fit their needs."
The future of content marketing by iMedia Connection
Rebecca Lieb reports on research showing that larger, more sophisticated content marketers are gradually "lessening their dependence on text-based channels" and focusing more on video and images.

7 Rules For Writing Awesome Content by Small Business Trends
Lisa Barone presents seven writing rules to help in crafting content that will inspire customers to act, including telling stories ("If you want to improve your writing, stop lecturing to people and to start telling them stories"); experimenting ("Improve your writing by experimenting with new mediums [videos, infographics, contests, polls, Twitter chats] instead of getting caught in the same pattern of content"); and to avoid generic messages, "write as if you're writing to one reader."
Is Content Marketing The New Advertising? by Forbes
Michael Brenner shares a highly bookmark-worthy infographic that positions 16 different content formats along the dimensions of attention required from the audience and ease of implementation.

Expert Copywriting Tips
Harvard Lesson: Verbs Beat Adjectives by Neuromarketing
Roger Dooley, commenting on one of the toughest sales jobs of all—"selling" yourself to Harvard Business School, where nine out of 10 applicants are rejected—concludes that verbs sell more powerfully than adjectives. Verbs persuade more effectively because they "require actual examples of the behaviors or characteristics in question…These specifics will increase the credibility of the copy, in addition to providing more information than when the adjective-driven shortcut is taken."
Using Great Storytelling To Grow Your Business by Fast Company
Former McKinsey consultant Kaihan Krippendorff outlines two approaches for producing more compelling content (or presentations): using LOTS ("language of the senses…When telling a story, share with us what you see, smell, feel, taste, and hear.

Roger C. Parker recommends 10 questions to ask when writing headlines, such as "Does your title clearly promise a desired benefit?," "Did you emphasize your intended readers in your title?" (for example, "C. J. Hayden's 'Get Clients Now: A 28-day Marketing Program for Professionals, Coaches, & Consultants' targets readers by occupation"), and "Does your title include the keywords readers use searching for information online?."

November 27, 2014
One of the busiest shopping days brings out a lot of traffic...and a lot of bad driving.
We're all under so much pressure this time of year.
Manners seem to go right out the window on Black Friday. Drivers are cutting people off, blocking traffic, and doing just about anything to get the best spot, which can make parking lots a holiday nightmare.
We saw a pickup truck get stuck in the mud trying to make a u-turn when there wasn't enough space. The truck ended up blocking traffic.
Driving like this makes hitting the stores a scary experience for Tracey Goss.
"A lot of horn honking, a lot of impatient people, keeps you on your toes!" she said.
Two drivers got tired of waiting and decided to block traffic. This is especially dangerous when people cut across the parking lot from different directions, making it hard for shoppers like Heidi Bond to hit the stores.
"It took us about ten minutes to find a space!" she said.
Not everyone is that patient. Some will pull right out in front of you. Some run red lights. That's the type of driving Phyllis Keener spent the morning trying to avoid.
"We've been here since 6:30," she said. "I don't know why we're here!"
Phyllis is always the passenger on Black Friday because of inconsiderate driving.
We saw a car trying to catch an arrow that ended up blocking an intersection; an SUV backing into traffic, holding everyone up for the sake of a good spot; three SUVs almost back into each other, all trying to be the first out of the parking lot.
AAA reports tens of thousands of crashes involving aggressive driving across the country every year. On average, that leads to more than ten thousand serious injuries, and several hundred deaths.
