As a medium largely focused on light sabers, cute cats, and pictures of lasagna or steak, I'd say that's been the enigma of the century for many businesses. And you end up wondering just why businesses even care.

It's simple: 79% of userers practically live on Facebook. With a rough estimate of 8 in 10 American adults accessing the Internet, that's giant. Of course, Facebook isn't the only player in the game. But you can see that's a demographic businesses have to reach. Why not reach them on the medium they live on? Makes sense.

It Still Happens to Not Be as Easy as Some May Make It, Which Is Why Enterprising Marketing SEO Firm IGNITE VISIBILITY Will Be Doing the

Impossible: They're Making A Movie About It!

Not just any movie. But a film interviewing the very best in the online marketing industry:

Jay Baer

Michael Stelzner

Brenda Ster

Joel Comm

Mari Smith

Sue Zimmerman

Leslie Samuel

Viveka von Rosen

Amy Landino

I call that comprehensive. If any firm or agency can solve the big mystery of social media marketing, Ignite Visibility can do it -- with a packed-in 45-minute breakdown of the best tips, tricks, trends and methodology from experts in the various mediums -- YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, etc. etc.. And what do we get? An all-inclusive paid trip to social media marketing land complete with drinks.

This Won't Be the First Time for IGNITE VISIBILITY Either: They've Broken Into the Movie Screen Once Before Already

You'd be shocked: they arguably tackled an even bigger challenge before. SEO: THE MOVIE. A film...about search engine optimization. Needless to say, it was a massive hit, reaching 100K views in just the first month and amassing a remarkable 300K viewers by the tail end of its run. As it was then picked up by over 800 various websites and soon-to-be featured on Amazon, it was a no-brainer --

IGNITE VISIBILITY had to release another one.

Watch the trailer right now before this officially releases on the 27th. Get yourself jazzed.

After all, this couldn't have come any sooner. With organic reach dropping dramatically clear across the board, it's increasingly more difficult for businesses to target these large demographics. Then you start asking the questions -- how do we do this for lead generation? -- branding? -- customer service? CAN you do social media marketing on the customer service level?

Hold Onto Your Butts -- Because IGNITE VISIBILITY May Just Answer Those Questions

SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING: THE MOVIE will premier right on the company's website. Right here, to be exact. So don't miss it. Or you'll miss the 30%-35% of adults with a $75K+ income on Twitter and Pinterest, the 34.5% consumer base preferring customer service agents only on social media, the over 600MM active users on Instagram, and the 467MM registered members of LinkedIn.

This is a film ripe for the school system, startups, entrepreneurs, marketing divisions, and even CEOs.

Rather, Brian Clark -- the man behind Copyblogger -- looks at content marketing as the finesse method for charming a customer. Or in this case, since we're focusing on a metaphor -- the supermodel.

Case in Point: You Never Propose Marriage on the First Date, Right?

Right. The point of content marketing operates on the same adage. We find it funny that most sales

goes for the pitch and the ask right at the very beginning. Content marketing, however, nurtures a relationship before going for the big 'ask'.

The hand in SALES marriage. Many think content marketing's a slow burn, or it takes too long to see some kind of ROI for all the effort you put in for writing and promoting those articles. It can be annoying. But it's worth it: when the sale is more like a long-term marriage (customer retention) and not just a one-off purchase (a 1-night stand).

Great content marketing builds and retains that customer base. Brian Clark goes through the three steps to do that:

Pay for the First Date -- Seriously, when you think about content marketing, it's a bit backwards, right? You go through all this time and money to build this content with tons of great information in it...only to give it away for free! And all you get back is an email address? COME ON! However, the immediate ROI is trust. That customer will trust you implicitly, which makes it that much easier for your brand to not only be recognized, but considered as an investment.

Listen, Listen, Listen -- Everyone knows that any average lady -- not just a supermodel -- expects to be listened to! Shut up -- and let the girl talk, man. From a content marketing perspective, this means understanding your customers at the deepest core. You need to know what's missing in their lives. And you do that by surveying the customers you already have, getting into the metrics, the history of their past purchases, what they all want. Then you delivery more of that kind of content, whetting their appetite.

Then You Show Them the "Ring" -- And this is where most likely you don't even have to 'ask'! Simply position your product correctly and at the very best time and place. You know how the ladies like it: they want the event to be perfect. At that point when they want you to ask, that's when you ask. When you see your following is bursting at the seams of your website or online store.... ASK.

And Before You Know It, Your CTR Results in Conversions and Ad Revenue for a Big Honeymoon

My is Brian Clark quite the matchmaker. Remember, though: this kind of business romance doesn't just happen over night. You woo your clients and customers as always. But you do it with the right words and delivery, the right targeting, and the right timing. The best way to get customers in love with your brand, and really all you had to do was type some words on a webpage!

Pierrehttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-7246029717646890231.post-73230211592845673692018-01-12T12:50:00.000-08:002018-01-12T12:55:54.819-08:00How Mr. Jay Baer Confirmed Trending Content Articles as the Key to Newsjacking Like a BossWait a second.... What is "newsjacking"?? Well, Baer basically called it the "art and science of injecting your ideas into a breaking news story so you and your ideas get noticed." Essentially what our President Trump does all the time on Twitter. You get the idea.

However, That Gives This Concept of Newsjacking, or Otherwise Known as "Real-Time Marketing" Such a Bad Rep for an Obvious Reason

The point of that newsjacking is to highlight your content and not necessarily the "breaking news

story" many readers would be more interested in. And I get it. In fact, I've mentioned it as a key strategy when developing your content stories right here.

The problem isn't necessarily that newsjacking is a cheap way of trying to get someone's attention by "hijacking" a trending news story (that's where the term "newsjacking" comes from). In fact, what else are content marketers supposed to do?? Compete with the thousands of other pieces out there just to get someone's attention (not an easy feat to do if you're the everyday content marketer, right?)?

It is a clever and cunning way to pitch, steer and angle a story to suit your specific message. Rather, the problem with newsjacking is that like Baer states, as I paraphrase -- newsjacking ended up only working through social media, not PR. And he lists these three downsides to newsjacking as it currently works today:

Too Expensive

Too Turbulent With Trends (How Often Do Stories Trend on Twitter? A Lot.)

And When You Get Right Down to It, Newsjacking on Social Media Has Very Little Impact

After all, those real-time tweets you see on the platform really aren't meant to convert or retain "customers." It's brand engagement, yes. But the shelf life of a tweet doesn't seem to measure up to a redwood tree in comparison when you think about it.

Today's social media viral post will vanish tomorrow. And that's not good for content marketing or newsjacking. You want your message to last much longer, and if that breaking news story drops and then people forget about it over a short period of time -- they'll also forget about you.

The Key to Newsjacking With Content Marketing in Mind

Get social media out of your head. Don't get me wrong: it's still crucial in terms of the brand engagement and distributing the information. But it's not the message; it never will be.

You can write an article on a trending topic, or news story, hosting it on your site or blog -- and what you've done is cement that piece with your angle to it for much longer than a simple tweet. It wasn't always that easy, though; but ever since we've been able to catch real-time videos and compartmentalize our content into short snippets that can then be updated, re-purposed, revisited, and of course republished over time to keep ideas fresh....

Well, let's just say it's easier to publish, almost as easy as posting a tweet or Facebook update. You just have to be debonair with panache about it!

Additionally, when approaching newsjacking from a strictly content marketing perspective, you have more opportunities to amplify and promote than, well, just running a "Twitter campaign." Publish the article, promote it on....

Facebook

Twitter

Outbrain

Taboola

Adwords

MGID

And the dozens of other platforms out there with built-in audiences. Better than straight social media newsjacking.

Probably the Biggest Bonus of Content-Marketing-Focused Newsjacking Is This:

You don't have to be perfect with your content either! In fact, you'll probably be that much more authentic if your content piece about the latest news from 30 minutes ago happens to not be as polished as it could be. Or as long or substantial as it should be.

So take note from Jay Baer. In a nutshell: you don't have to be a literary genius to be a successful content marketer. You just have to have a voice. And your own platform to publish it in!

I'll explain it right now: GenZ is the generation immediately following the longstanding millennial for one important reason: social media. As in, GenZ's trends for social media are a lot different than your average millennial.

For Starters, GenZ'ers Really Don't Go on Facebook as Much -- or Even YouTube. Not Even Pinterest!

And when you think about it, that's surprising. Facebook's been the leader for a very long time, but the reason why many high schoolers and college students falling into the GenZ category sort of steer away from the old is that for the most part, these GenZ'ers don't just focus on one platform. They focus on many.

Currently the leading platforms are Snapchat and Instagram. That should tell you something. We've already spoke about the power of Snapchat marketing right here, but if you're a business wanting to target the trends, this may be your first stop.

A study proved that 88% of these "GenZ'ers" use both Instagram and Snapchat on a daily basis. 81% of them use Facebook as well; but clearly the shift from platform to platform's dramatic. Why? Because both Instagram and Snapchat focus on more mobile optimization than even Facebook.

78% of students in the study actually use Snapchat DAILY. 76% use Instagram. And a paltry 66% use Facebook. Aside from the shift in platform popularity, the fact is this: GenZ'ers use up to five different social media accounts EACH DAY.

You Know What That Means as an Online Marketer?

Integration. Automation. Centralization. Don't focus on just one platform; focus on all of them.

The cool thing is that's what exactly I do, which you can learn about right here. And don't take it lightly. This is one of the biggest social media marketing trends to look out for. So pay attention. Or you might miss the train.

An app thought to only be used by teeny boppers about the NBT (that's "Next Big Thing" for all us old folk) or how really sexy those shoes are. But wouldn't you believe it if I said....

SnapChat Has Recently Become the Rage of Marketing According to Jeff Bullas

And make no mistake: if it comes from Jeff Bullas -- it's definitely trending.

What Bullas reminds you on his blog is that SnapChat keys you in on the newest audience: millennials. That's the key. And you not only want to target them, but reach through the platform they love to use the most. More importantly, SnapChat to this day focuses on what Bullas called authentic value, but here's another big point for you:

SnapChat Has the BIGGEST Audience of FEMALES -- 70% to be exact, according to the Wall Street Journal. Not only is this a game changer for your product or service that may target that particular demographic, but in all honesty.... Targeting that demographic even if your product or service doesn't necessarily apply to them makes for great word-of-mouth as well as reaching just about any lady wanting to buy something for someone else (male or female). So long story short.... Use the platform. You'll instantly benefit.

We Obviously Mentioned Millennials.... -- And the stats show that 45% of all SnapChat users fit in that age range of 18-25. 77% of SnapChat users actually attend college. This is the burgeoning beginning of a demographic thirsting potentially for your product and service.

Which Is Why Those Users Are More Likely to Buy -- More than on Adwords. More than on Facebook. More than anywhere. A study proves that, stating that 58% of all college students will be more likely to buy via a coupon advertised on SnapChat. And the reason? It's obvious: SnapChat really isn't an 'advertising' platform at all. And that's the secret weapon.

You're Reaching an Entire Audience Without Really Having to Sell Much at All

And you even have those trending "Snap Ads" the platform has rolled out, complete with sponsored lenses and filters to zero in more on your target. You know what those filters are? Imagine using them to advertise your product. Talk about creative. Geo-filters and those really cool snap-able codes you'd find in the most unlikely places (like how SnapChat was employed to pique interest for the film GIRL ON THE TRAIN by utilizing those built-in codes all around train stations) end up not only making SnapChat a platform -- but almost like an advertising lifestyle.

In other words.... What Pokemon GO did for gaming, SnapChat does for advertising.

PDR Digital Content has indeed tested and experimented with the medium itself, so we urge you to contact us and explore the opportunity. If Jeff Bullas gives it a go.... You should, too!

They're all going to hang me. But don't shoot the messenger. The expert herself said so -- Ann Handley has just turned the idea of content marketing straight on its head by simply saying that the key to its success is, in fact, not to write!

Allow Me, or Her, to Explain: Without RESEARCH, You Can't WRITE

It's like saying you can walk without legs. Just doesn't happen. Content marketing's much the same way. Sure, eventually you're going to be actually typing on that keyboard, but that's not where the real "writing" actually occurs.

She actually dictated right here on how you're writing can kill it by, yes you guessed it, not writing at all (sounds like a sublime oxymoron). It's not as psychotically enigmatic as you might think, though. In fact, once you get down and dirty with it, it'll make that much more sense:

The point of research is to gather all that information. Be a hoarder. Collect, collect. Be feverish about it! The reason behind researching everything that you want to know is that as you feed yourself all those golden nuggets, you essentially allow your brain to write the whole thing all on its own before you start punching the keyboard.

You then "dump" all that information onto a piece of paper, or a Microsoft Word document if you're a millennial, and then go from there. Don't worry about it looking "horrible" (because it will). Think of this part of the process as just building a really ugly outline. It will serve to be your framework.

Once you have all that info down, you've got to pick one key point to swivel everything around. It's your focus. Your center. Write around it. Then edit like a fierce Grammar Nazi wanting every single paragraph, sentence, and word count.

And, Lastly, Don't Nearly Pay as Much Attention to the Headline as This One Thing:

The first sentence of your article.

Pine over it. Mull over it. Be obsessed with it. Even if the headline's catchy, if that first line doesn't entice the reader further, you've lost those eyes completely. You just have to remember: any reader looks for any excuse not to read something. So don't give anyone any excuse.

Plain and simple. There's just one slight problem with that -- what about next week? -- next month? -- next year?

You write that piece on Donald Trump, and by next year, the article you wrote won't be very relevant at all. The whole idea is presenting value to your reader, and it'll only have so much of a shelf life. Then your career turns into a butter churner, one after the other, climbing a ladder but never really getting to the top.

The Best Kind of Content Marketing Offers Timeless and Trending Information

It's information a reader will enjoy or value today, tomorrow, 20 years from now. There will

always be something to glean from that article you wrote way back when, because it was never 'dated'. The trend never 'died', so to speak.

It's hard to get a piece like that, which will also spread like wildfire, because traditionally, what'll spread like wildfire are the trends, the viral content. The stuff people want to read right now (not days, weeks, months from now).

Like I said: it's a catch-22. Either you're writing 'hot' pieces to be read right now and then forgotten later, or you're writing timeless pieces that slowly burn for a really long time. We all want the big combo -- we want the "timeless viral" stuff, the content that'll go hot and stay hot. But how do you do that?

There is a trick to it, so pay close attention.

You love all those trendy articles on TMZ, right? Here's the thing: those stories are about something typically happening right now (or recently). If you want that piece to stay relevant tomorrow, make that story not just about what's happening right now -- but also why it's important to your reader.

It's the bigger picture. The main idea. You see, a story is just a 'story'. A story with a bigger meaning underneath it all, though? That's a lesson. A truth. Something someone can take with him/her for a lifetime. The story's just the vehicle for that truth, carrying it wherever it goes. The truth is the never-ending fuel to keep the story going even after the story's been done already.

I Know: Easier Said Than Done

Once you put it to practice, it's like clockwork. Think of any story out there. It could be anything. And then ask yourself the important question -- why is this important to you? When you have the answer, you have your angle.

Your article then becomes more than just a story, but an editorial where you're actually speaking to the reader, and not just reporting. Think of trends as a constant evolution. A trend isn't a singular entity all by itself. A trend became as such because of a trend before it.

Once you got that down, honestly, every story you write will be a continuation of a trend from long ago, which was a story back then as well. In a sense.... The stories you write will trend endlessly instead of current "trends" you write "reported"!

The retail market arguably could reap ungodly revenue if they just listened to a year-long seminar of hers, no doubt. Logistically and realistically, though, it's an impossibility, so many of us are just tasked with the challenge of growing and evolving in our business on our own while ingesting snippets of what she has to offer.

We've Got the Goods on Carla Johnson Right Here, Though, in Her Latest:

Influencer marketing: you've heard of it, honestly. It's a trend associated with content marketing in a big way, but according to Johnson, B2B has missed the mark for the most part for a lot of reasons, one of which the factor has largely been underfunded with brands only allocating 10% on average of their budget. 50% of surveyed businesses have allocated less than $100K annually.

In short.... Businesses are missing out.

It's not B2B's fault, though, given the tainted lenses. When most people think of influencer marketing, they think, "yes, let's have Kim Kardashian endorse our business! And famous celebrities galore, yadda yadda yadda!", and something gets missed in the message.

Businesses don't see the value in influencer marketing as a result, thinking they have to get into SnapChat, Twitter or Instagram. The facet doesn't seem to connect with the idea of B2B. But we're proud to say that it's a misconception.

Influencer Marketing Isn't About "Popularity," But About Your Customer

Your customer is your celebrity. Not Kim Kardashian. One of the other misconceptions of influencer marketing is the fact that many a business believe they wouldn't have control over what the influencer says. Not true, if done correctly!

The fact is your customer being your influencer is about as closely linked and connected as you can be where the influencer will say exactly what you want them to say with minimal overhead. It's almost like a partnership, and not an endorsement, so to speak.

The good news, though, is a lot of businesses are just now starting to catch on, realizing the myth and educating themselves on the value that is influencer marketing from a B2B standpoint. 55% of surveyed marketers recently actually intend to spend more on influencers. Those spending more than $250K annually, the percentage sits even higher at 67% and higher still at 77% for those implementing state-of-the-art influencer marketing technology.

So it's looking good. B2B is still catching up, but at least they're "catching up"!

What Businesses Have Benefited From Influencer Marketing?

General Electric -- The brand's work with Instagram proves that photography delivers an impact, especially with GE Aviation.

Okta -- It's all about the customer stories. Influencer marketing is basically content marketing, but with real-life testimonials fleshed out into story mode, so a prospect can see the value of the company.

IBM -- That's right, the computer company. Their NewWaytoEngage Futurist Program actually harnesses a huge stable of influencers, generating loads of content, from videos to articles on their THINK Marketing website.

So you see it works.

Carla's Pretty Clear on Here: More B2B Brands Should Do It

Those B2B brands just have to realize that what they think influencer marketing is, it's not. And here's the bonus: it's a lot more creative than you think!

What he drills into you are the bread and butter, elbow and grease of a hard-nosed content marketing writer pounding away at the keyboard. Make no mistake: content marketing largely depends on everything from influencer marketing to native advertising and social media campaigning. But nothing -- and I mean nothing -- compares to the one thing Cleary supports above all else:

Blog Republishing: Always Keeping Your Content Fresh and Relevant

Cleary mentions the Pareto principle right here, and it's right on: the 80/20 rule. As a blogger, it
means 20% of the articles you write will produce 80% of all the web traffic you'll get. Let that sink in for a bit.

This means you have to identify your best-performing content. And you will have some individual nuggets in your archive, no doubt. it's normal to have some articles that were read here and there, and others that were just consumed like cotton candy at a circus.

That's just how the market works. Even the best articles won't generate enough clicks and views, and sometimes the one you thought wouldn't amount to much will suddenly sweep cyberspace like a mutant mop.

Once you take a look at the analytics, this is where you do what's called "blog republishing." Ian Cleary endorses it. It is okay to do it! Don't think you're trying to swindle people or Google searches, because all you're doing is updating the old article from a couple years back and then republishing it for the current date.

This Does a Number of Things to Your Content Marketing Strategy:

Your Brand Stays Relevant

Your SEO Ranking Gets Better

You're Taking Advantage of Google's Ever-Changing Algorithms

And, of Course, the Most Important Factor:

That one piece of content's bringing in the most revenue for you.

You obviously want to ramp it up, expand, grow the business. The simplest method of monetizing your content is to keep pushing what is working.

You Don't Have to Write a Lot -- Just Some Really Good Stuff That You Can Keep Leveraging Over and Over Again

Ultimately, that's the true fuel in this content engine. Sure, you can pump out new articles every day, and that's fine. But according to Cleary, also try to focus on those few you know are good and update them regularly. New eyes will read them. Your brand will grow. Your readership will grow even more.

In other words, if you're a content marketer, you're either local, or your global! And local's not necessarily a bad thing: but if you're thinking about going global, it means more business, more revenue, more profit....

But Also More Content Marketing Work! ....Thankfully, Expert Pam Didner Has One Heck of a Solution to Streamline the Workload a Bit:

It's a 5-step solution. Here's the real deal, though. The key is getting these five steps squared away before tackling the global market in whatever you do:

Align All Business Goals Everywhere -- It's easier said than done, but once you ensure that, you're in business. The reason why is that not every region along with HQs in various countries or territories will be in the same situation between each other. Some HQs might be penetrating a new market whereas others are already pretty seasoned. The point is to make sure you're about as aligned as possible clear across the board. Just makes things a bit easier to manage.

"Global" Doesn't Mean "Worldwide" -- This is crucial, and Didner explains it best when you think about it. There's not one company out there in the world with enough of a marketing budget to target every country. No way around it. You therefore focus on the countries or regions you know you can set the best corporate footprint. Grow those regions first. Perhaps in the future, you can target more countries -- and then perhaps go completely global when you get there.

Develop the Global Brand -- You need a brand everyone can identify with. Translatable. Resonates. If it doesn't, even if the brand is something a particular region would be in high demand for, they'll miss the message and you won't convert much in that area. Ensure you create a type of corporate persona everyone will understand from front to back.

Build an Overall Content Roadmap -- You see, it's easy enough just having a particular topic in an industry. Let's say fashion, for instance. When you go global, though, that word "fashion" gets a little blurry, and you need to expand on it some. The word "fashion" is a little town in the middle of your "roadmap," and your next job is to expand based on feedback from target audiences all over as to what "fashion" might mean for them. You'd be surprised what sub-topics you might come up with when you go global on a particular industry.

Your Marketing Campaigns Need to Be Specific to the Region or Country -- Not just for organizational reasons, but for SEO and targeting purposes, too. You might be global, but your audiences are still local. So reach them as if you're local as well.

We make it sound easy, yes. And certainly Didner has it all squared away, which is why she's such a heavy influencer in the industry of content marketing.

It's the Big Time for Content Marketers, Going Global

Just watch yourself, though. You can dabble a bit and not see much of a result for a while; but once you hit a mark, and you have an audience targeted to you and your valued content, take a deep breath, slow down, and start building based on these tips.

Chances are good you won't implode. And Santa Claus will still deliver all the presents for the little children.

One thing content marketers don't talk a lot about is the fact that they often can just do their own thing, get custom domains, write their own content, reap ad revenue, and land some major affiliate conversions. In fact.... I'm willing to bet many do. They just don't talk about it often!

After All, It Makes Sense: With What Content Marketers Do for Clients, Why

Can't They Do for Themselves?

The question is how? They need a pushing point. PewDiePie knows that best. It's easy taking a brand that has at least some development, nurture it, build on the content plan already in place -- or at least separate yourself from the brand and know from the outside in what you need to do to push that client over the revenue edge. It's that much harder doing anything for yourself than it is for a client. Can I get an AMEN??

The most important thing you need to know about online marketing and revenue is that it will take some time -- but not a lot of time if you know where to look, what audiences you need to target, what offers you need to promote, and how to promote it. The obvious reason (and many of you savvy content marketers out there may already know this) is that what may work for client #1 or client #2 might not actually work for you as your own brand. Think about it.

You've got some testing to do, building your brand, developing your own website (which, I know, can be a bit difficult when you're on retainer for X number of clients), developing relationships with ad revenue and affiliate marketing platforms, maximizing email, and pushing for your own organic presence and paid traffic.

It's HARD! So what do you do?

This isn't a funeral. It's not like we're going to see the implosion of Google searches and the dissolve of the Internet before our eyes. We'll still be able to research online. We can browse Facebook and look at cat videos still. SnapChat will still work. We guarantee that.

But what we are saying is that content marketing, from a certain vantage point, is dying! And Joe Pulizzi has stated it in not so many words. Here's why:

"We Marketers Became Infatuated With the TOOLS and Less Concerned About WHAT WE PUT INSIDE THEM." -- Joe Pulizzi

That's profound, people. Think about it. As content marketing has exploded, so has its efficiency. That's not necessarily a bad thing. Marketers find a method that works, and others emulate it. However, the downside is saturation.

We've become so inundated with the same kind of content everywhere we look that there's nothing for a particular brand to stand out on its own two feet and present a unique product or service.

It's like walking into a discount outlet, because everyone's making the same products, and they all look the same.

Don't get us wrong: you get some great deals walking into those discount outlets. But the industry as a whole -- does it benefit? The short answer is NO.

Joe Pulizzi made another good point is that it's not how much content you can push out there into the market -- but, rather, it's how much response, how much of a behavioral change, you get with the least amount of content you generate! Less is more.

You need to ask yourself: are you really pushing content that's unique out there? Or is it all the same from brand to brand?

Are You 'Niche' Enough for Your Audience? If Not, Get There.

That's what's causing the death of content marketing. People are looking for the easy way out. They want to find what 'works' and go with it. To an extent that, well, works -- only so far. The market then becomes so bloated that your 'stuff' gets lost in the mix, back in the warehouse of the "content discount outlet," and you're left hearing crickets.

We as marketers have an imperative to create content that not only works, but is so concrete in terms of niche and story that NO ONE could ever mistake it for that 'other' story online from that 'other' marketer for that 'other' similar brand out there.

People.... Listen to Pulizzi. He knows what he's talking about.

Imitation works. True originality is better. Be creative. Look at your content from all angles. Sell it like you effin' mean it.

You know the drill, you know how to optimize, campaign, create, craft, and kill it with conversions. You're a social media genius. You're a connoisseur of the written word, a wordsmith extraordinaire. You know how to weave a story and get people to be so interested in the product, service, or you without selling one single offer, product, or service.

But there's just one problem:

How Does Your Audience Know That? The Short Answer? They DON'T.

I have to admit, this is why one leading content marketer in the industry, Mr. Juntae DeLane, gets into the granular of what makes a content marketer succeed, and it's that of digital branding. Another way of thinking about digital branding is reputation management: you're letting your potential audience know who you are and why you're important.

Interestingly enough, many copywriters out there end up wanting to build their own brand but neglect to realize that as they build it, they need to communicate to their potential audience and let them know why they're the cream of the crop, in whatever it is they have a passion for.

It could be potatoes. Or light sabers. Heck, you can have a passion for paperclips as long as you know to approach your audience as an industry expert. We often make the mistake that as we pitch and sell a client's work to a potential audience, we're neglecting to reassure them that we know what we're talking about.

After all: why should our audience listen to us??

Juntae DeLane Said It Best: "DIGITAL Marketing Is Your Audience's Understanding of YOU."

Content marketing comes in when you're poised and ready to target that audience with everything and anything they need. Too often content marketing's about trying to offer great content without knowing whether the audience wants it or not, or trusts it from you or the brand you're promoting.

So keep that in mind.... "Content marketing is UNDERSTANDING your AUDIENCE." DeLane said that as well.

Hence why it's important that you incorporate both content marketing and digital branding together. Once you've accomplished that, you've got a well-oiled content engine on your hands.

A ton. And this is especially the case with content marketing. The regime is so big that not even this could list all the influencers trending in the latest rage of online marketing, from native advertising to social media (only 50 are listed).

That's big. So, needless to say, if you're interested in online marketing, focus on content, but not just any content. There's a difference, so says this rather important guy, Mr. Michael Brenner of the Marketing Insider Group:

Here's What He Says: Written Content Is NOT Content Marketing

Anyone can write an article. In fact, tons of writers have been doing that for generations. It's called

journalism. You write a story, people read it. Content marketing, though, is a whole different beast of various coloring of fur, and you need to know how to tame this beast. Here's the reason why Brenner knows what the difference is -- because, you know, he's an expert. And you should listen to him.

Now brace yourself.... Because this will go against the grain of everything you know regarding online marketing and sales. Sure, you're a brand. You want to make money. You want to sell a product or service. And it's all about the content, but here's the thing --

Your content shouldn't sell anything! Nothing! That's not the point of content according to Brenner. Here's why:

"Content Marketing Is About Attracting an Audience to an EXPERIENCE...."

He said that in his most recently published work about the trends we're seeing in content marketing -- and by default, a major push in the field for success, native advertising -- describing exactly what content marketing really is.

The experience he's referring to is actually a "destination." You want to send your readers somewhere where they will learn something valuable. That place happens to be a specific publisher's site, branded for the purpose of what the article happens to be about. You build it. You optimize it. It serves to gain you more readership, which then promotes your bigger brand, whatever it may be.

For instance: you might be an event management company, and you own a site about catering and food. You have a content marketer who will write really fun pieces about recipes, food trends, and other goodies on that site, and it's designed to draw more of a readership that will be even more interested in your event management company down the road.

That's the purpose of content marketing.

Here's where we go against the grain, though. Get your styptic pencil ready for the nicks.

"STOP Creating Content That SELLS."

Yeah. He said that, too. Now don't get us wrong. A sales page has its purpose. But that is not content marketing. The fact is us marketers create all sorts of content for the boss of a company, and that's fine and dandy. However, these types of content -- sales pages, sales letters, pitches, what have you -- have a specific purpose, and then their "shelf life" runs out pretty fast for good reason.

The content only works for the brand or product it's trying to sell -- which a customer might need, yes, but the content itself if more valuable will sell even more down the road if you structure it correctly.

This isn't anyone's fault, really. When the CEO or marketing director tells you to write a sales letter, you do it. The fact is campaigns pushing for this type of content doesn't last long according to Brenner --

Twitter Content Only Really Lasts for 3 Hours Max

Facebook Content After 5 Hours Will Only Reach 75% of All Your Views on Social Media

Your Average Article Will Only Reach Everyone After 37 Days. After That, It's Null.

Think about it. A sales piece serves only one purpose, and then it's really not used much after that. This is why your typical content campaign for something like that ends up running only for a short period of time, and then it's paused. A lot of affiliate offers run for a segment, and then halts. These are types of content not delivering timeless material. Stuff that's relevant ten years from now. Valuable nuggets of gold.

And, hence, this is why Brenner knows that up to 70% of a company's content ends up unused!

This Is Why Brenner Says Your Content Doesn't Need to Sell -- It Needs to Inform, Entertain, Communicate, Deliver

You're connecting with your potential customer. That's all you're doing. That's all you need to do. The ultimate end goal is reputation management, nourishing the best possible leads, retaining future customers, clients, and maybe even colleagues. Networking. And leveraging social media and native advertising to the fullest, maximizing your ROI and revenue.

See? Now doesn't that feel much better on your face? No more five o'clock shadow. And pretty soon you won't need that pencil anymore.

For good reasons. It's a sad fact that many a client want the big bucks and the results, like, now. Absolutely NOW. And it's understandable. They're paying a content marketing team (or US) to craft, create, distribute, promote, leverage, link, highlight, and repurpose until we're blue in the face -- plus they have a marketing budget to go into those paid promotions, so that's a double whammy right there, just like when you click this image right below --

They WANT to See the ROI Now. And You Know What's Funny?

Content marketing has been en vogue for plenty of years as the go-to for marketing excellence given its reach for customer retention, reputation management, brand building, and long-scale customer relations. It's practically infallible. Do it right, you get great results; it's clear. However....

Many CEOs and Presidents and even some marketing directors out there don't realize that content marketing isn't an overnight thing, checking the clock and waiting for the big payout. It's not like you can build a website, create some articles, develop the pages, sign up for Adsense, launch some Adwords campaigns, and in the next month see about a thousands dollars in profit (not revenue: PROFIT).

Doesn't work like that. Not at all. Especially since content marketing wasn't designed to sell anything! Okay, sure, you have a dynamite product or service, and a dedicated audience -- in that case, you just need a salesperson who knows how to run a Facebook campaign. But if you want to continually invoke faith in your product and service, multiply the sales effect by gazillion, and -- here's the better part -- KEEP ALL YOUR CUSTOMERS HAPPY -- you need content marketing, and you need to take your time with it.

How Long Will Content Marketing Take to See Any Results?

It honestly depends on the current reputation you already have. Do you have a built-in audience? Is your social media presence already pretty hefty? If so, you have the foundation -- now you need a team to make it work for you beyond what's already been done. You may see results pretty quickly, especially if you're using certain tools, targeting uncharted revenue for your brand.

All it takes is a quick CONSULTATION WITH US. Let's see what we can do for you. Give us an idea of how many email subscribers you have. Do you have any Google+ pages? Facebook pages? Facebook groups? LinkedIn pages? Twitter account?

Simple as that.

And You Can Do That Just About Anywhere:

Facebook

Twitter

LinkedIn

Pinterest

Outbrain

Taboola

Revcontent

Yahoo Gemini

StackAdapt

Redirect.com

Shorte.st

Adnow

Clicksor

Chitika

Adwords

The list really does go on and on. You can see where the trend is: paid content promotion is a must these days with business, which means you'll need a daily budget.

However, it's not a pick and choose, pay and promote and reap the benefits mentality here. It's almost an art form. An exact science. And it takes time to get that art form down to a science, a structure operating like an engine and achieving the ROI you want for what you're paying.

Your strategy should go much further than budget and profit -- think market demographics, your audience, the content "type," devices, and ultimately what your goal beyond the ROI should be --

Should it be lead generation? Likes? Follows? Comments, subscribers, or just information transfer for ad revenue? You be the judge --

One Thing's for Sure: Our Purpose at PDR DIGITAL CONTENT Is to Help You Decide

Here's a little tip: start small. And then build from there. Content marketing doesn't happen overnight, and it's a slow burn. But once it starts burning, trust us: you'll have a massive fire on your hands! (The 'safe' kind, though)

Sorry to be so graphic there.... But it's true!

The Reason for That is the Fact That These Professional Writers and Copy Editors Simply Can "Get Away With It"

Typos. Laziness. Poor structure. No voice. Even incorrect facts. And, yet, the share count on these

articles are at the hundreds, possibly thousands. It's not hard for a well-known site to go on brand recognition (such as TIME, or the Huffington Post) with an already established readership to get the views, get the ad revenue, and obviously get the high search rankings, even leveraging print marketing at its best.

It's all about reputation.

However.... In the grand scheme of things, the long haul, quality content pulls through if you're simply up for the task --

You have to be willing to put up the quantity and quality, distribute your content, get yourself out there, make a name, develop the brand, and when all is said and done, the last defining variable in this content race is the question:

Which Article Is More Compelling? The Pile of Bat Guano? Or Yours?

The answer's obvious: yours.

It's a long numbers game -- sort of like you're waiting in line for the big breakout where the number of shares suddenly strike the hot iron and mold a brand that's worth every penny of ad revenue, blowing the competition out of the water. But it takes the tenacity. The creativity. The writing. The research. The pull to churn out that content like butter.

That's what PDR Digital Content can do. We're workhorses. Our job is to combine that quantity with quality, expand the content base in such a way that you'll be blown away with how much has developed in such a short period of time. Then it's all about distribution. Promotion. And getting the name out there.

It'll take some time. But, in all honesty, in this business: that's what it takes!

CONTACT US RIGHT NOW, AND WE CAN HELP YOU.

We're past that point. We've been past that point for years. Nay, decades. Ever since the first commercial was broadcast on television, we've been on the road paved with inundation, audiences flooded with mounds of content to consume in droves without any end in sight. It's overwhelming -- and, yet, people seem to consume it all regardless.

This Undoubtedly Means the Need for Something NEW to Read Will Be Long Gone

You might think you have a completely undiscovered niche in business. You're wrong. You might even have the top-notch, trending knowledge -- it doesn't matter. 9 times out of 10, someone else out there has already blogged about what you're writing about, or want to write about. That means your work will compete with that other person head-to-head. There are no new "content territories" to discover here. It's now a battle of grabbing someone else's attention from someone else's readership.

That's how you, as a business -- with content marketing -- will succeed.

The question is how in the heck do you do that?? How do you create the kind of content that'll grab the audience's attention when they've already read about the same stuff over and over again? It's almost like a losing battle.

The answer is simple (easier said than done). SIMPLY CREATE BETTER CONTENT THAN EVERYONE ELSE. Clear as crystal.

Moreover, distribution is your secret weapon. Just ask Kellogg's and Donald Trump.... So what if some writer wrote something waaaaay better than you: if you have multiple channels and networks to share your work on, chances are pretty good you'll have more of a readership than your competition anyway. So republish, syndicate, repurpose. Promote. Strive for excellence.

You Won't Hit the Mark Every Time.... But the Key Is to Always Strive for the Best

Quantity and quality meet in the best wrestling tag team ever, and you have to harness them to win the world title. Simple as that. It's not an easy job to pin the competition, one, two, three.... But rest assured: PDR Digital Content can get you the pin -- and the win -- without a problem. All you need to do is CONTACT US FOR THAT FREE CONSULTATION.

Yes, blog posts cost money. Let me rephrase: quality blog posts cost money. If that's what you want. Chances are that's what you want, because crappy blog posts won't get you anywhere except fill up your website with fodder, maybe grab you a lead or two, and that's it. Chances are you might get some decent ROI from the crappy content, but it won't last.... Crappy content tends to have a shelf life of close to ZERO, so you want to be careful about what you pay for.

But We Get It, Guys: Content's Costly, and You Have a Lack of a Budget

And we're not suger-coating this for you -- some content marketing agencies, companies or freelancers out there will charge an arm, a leg, a spleen, and a liver to boot, just to get a few articles written out. Make no mistake: chances are the value's there for one good reason: good articles are timeless and reusable. If they're leveraged and promoted the right way, you can literally make the money back and then some! No joke.

The question is this: do you take the time to develop that quality content yourself? Or do you pony up the dough and have a professional do it for you? Stacked question, we know....

Check out the infograph on the right and see what you're dealing with visually. You don't have many options, basically. It's either TIME. Or MONEY. And chances are you don't have both. Chances are you have one or the other, and in a very limited amount.

What's the Solution?

The choice is a difficult one: either outsource, or do it all yourself. Outsourcing takes the responsibility off your plate but leaves you at the mercy of the professional who may or may not deliver according to your expectations. Doing it all yourself, though, will save you a ton of money but also spread yourself too thin with your own company.

The easy solution is find someone not to outsource to, but someone to partner with closely on the content you want to provide. In other words: MERGE THE TWO BENEFITS. CONSOLIDATE BOTH TIME AND MONEY.

PDR Digital Content Does Exactly That: Giving You the Best of Both Worlds. And at a Competitively Low Cost.

It is literally the only way to see some light at the end of the tunnel and make this work for you. You need to be able to let a professional handle the projects, but not without your eye over the details. PDR Digital Content isn't an 'agency' in that respect. We're not freelancers. We're not in-house either, chewing up your funds legally and practically.

We, in essence, accept the challenge of content marketing for your sake. We win. And you win. That's our job. And at a decent cost, too! Problem solved.

We're flooded by what's commonly known as marketing technology, or "MARTECH" for short. The crazy thing is this transcends everything we already know about traditional marketing. Perhaps you're one wicked marketer, or marketing manager, for your company -- but do you even know how to set up a Twitter ad campaign? You might not. And that's okay -- a lot of it is really, really, really complicated. Lots of terms that to this day still might go over people's

heads --

CPC

CPM

CTR

PPC

SUBID

CRM

They might as well harness the rest of the alphabet for these acronyms, because a lot of it can get confusing. Long gone are the days when a marketer simply had to write an effective tagline or headline, develop punchy copy, and then promote it via radio or television. Now we have cyberspace -- and suddenly things just got quite complex.

So, I Repeat -- This Isn't About the Most Effective Tools Out There. Take It From Us. All the Tools You'll Find Out There Are Just as Effective as the Next One!

What you need to do is get yourself in the right frame of mind to tackle the newest MARTECH out there, or you'll be left in the dust. Why? Marketing isn't just marketing anymore in this day and age. You have to be tech-savvy, comprehensive, and a networking fiend. For someone so engrossed in marketing tactics and best practices, the last thing people think about is having to get involved in multiple platforms, working with a variety of different people, and.... (SHUDDER) going global with your marketing strategy.

If there's anything you need to take away from this, it's this: prepare yourself to even train with the correct innovative tools out there. You do that by following these integral 11 steps:

Plan, Plan, Plan -- These days there's a lot that goes into how you plan your advancement into the marketing tech scheme. Here's what you need to know.

Take Your Time -- We always have to laugh at the big wigs who want results right now. We get it. But even with marketing tech innovations out there, trust us: you want to grow your marketing excellence gradually. Here's why.

Get in the Trenches, Man! -- Learning's one thing. Doing is a whole 'nother ballgame.

Lose the Ego -- Yes, we get it. Your marketing projects brought in millions of dollars back in the day. If you want to do the online gig, though, you might need to settle for smaller (at least for the time being).

Talk to A LOT of People -- Think about it. This is cyberspace we're talking about here. You have a wealth of communities out there to dig into. Here's just a taste.

Go With What You "Like" -- Certain online marketing strategies might not be for everyone, so test, test, test, and see if it works personally for you.

Follow the Online Experts -- Ever heard of Influencer Marketing? Read this.

Don't Be Afraid to Read a Newsletter or Two -- Here's why.

Be CONFIDENT -- It's a big MARTECH world out there. Don't be afraid of it.

And Lastly.... BE CREATIVE -- As big as it is, there's a wealth of untouched territory of tactics out there that have honestly never been tried. Based on this, you're going to want to break the mold.

You can see why a lot of companies simply hire the turnkey service to get it all done. And, in all honesty, you can by CLICKING HERE and getting a free consultation. But just in case....

You Deserve to Be Autonomous in Your Efforts to Advance Marketing Skill

So get right into it. Explore. But before you do, get yourself in the right frame of mind. Lots of professionals out there only experiment and do this or that with not a whole lot of results. The name of the game turns into just a dartboard, and you're blindfolded.

That's not how MARTECH should be. You want to get it done right, you take the blindfold off, get a laser-guided rifle -- and blow the target away.

By the way.... We can help you!

It's true: a lot of the marketing technology out there does have sort of a success 'structure' to it, that if you follow it to a tee, you're almost guaranteed some results. Some.

Just Don't Knock Creativity Down Over MARTECH

Yes, we at PDR Digital Content know the marketing technology's at the forefront of our frontier, but you have to know this -- creativity still kills. It's the beast that no one can bring down. Like that big fire-breathing dragon. It's been proven given that there was a recent study of marketers clear across the U.S. and Europe designated what they thought was the most important to success -- creativity ranked as the most important skill, right behind MARTECH. That's telling.

Of course, marketing technology was still way up there, obviously, so you have to know it -- but there's a big difference between knowing it and knowing how to be creative with it in very inventive and interesting ways.

In marketing, you have to be creative with your strategies. Simple as that. The MARTECH just makes it easier for you to do just that (or at the very least, it should).

So Take Note: PDR Digital Content Focuses A LOT on Creativity

In fact many of us are artists. Authors. Inventors. We're about exploring new horizons. Discovering new methods. Setting new trends. Bravo if you're pretty much fluent in Facebook language, Outbrain standards and Pinterest advertising....

But if you're looking for that flair.... That little extra edge that'll keep you above the cut of the rest of the competition? ....MAYBE now's the time to contact us for a free consultation!

We love you. You hearken to the days of the typewriter and the whiteboard, and you're not afraid to get your fingernails dirty. Those were the good ol' days back when all we had remotely looking like an electronic device was a TI-85 and a gigantic phone-thing with a massive antenna and bad reception.

And you know what? You still got the job done even in this digital day and age. So don't fret. You may need to evolve, but it might be a lot easier than you think. A certain "dinosaur," you may be, but a dangerous one in your industry. So don't forget it.

The Key to Evolving With MARTECH Is to Stay Confident

Sure all the new MARTECH out there looks intimidating, but it's still all grounded in everything you're good at:

List Management

Campaign Integration

Salesforce

Excel

We're pretty sure you can still do a spreadsheet. And if that's the case, you can do that spreadsheet for just about anything else technically innovative, because even the new marketing technology out there leverages the bare bones, the bread and butter, of what makes marketing so damn great. So don't underestimate yourself.

You're More on Track Than You Think

We'll help keep you on track, too. As partners. Just contact us for a quick consultation about what we can do for you in your marketing plan. Whether it's copywriting, content marketing, native, email, whatever. That's our job -- to make your job easier!

But only a few. And trust us: you'll have a choice to pick out of a big batch of newsletters, like apples at the orchard. Why are newsletters relevant today?

Because It's Easy, Digestible, and Simple Information About Whatever Industry You're In!

The big mistake many marketers make is trying to get an edge with too many sources. What

happens? The INBOX turns into a stockpile of dead weight, and you'll sift, sort, and delete more than actually reading the high-quality info to even get ahead in your industry. Thin the herd. Look for the 'bad' apples and toss them. Find the golden nuggets. And stick with those.

Additionally, checking that Twitter feed offers some other juicy fruits of information, so be sure to do that. Marketing innovation at its best. And in Twitter's case, you don't have to worry about over-saturation of information. You can follow literally an unlimited number of influencers and magazines posting the best pieces with links, and all you need to do is surf the feed and find what you're looking for.

Save your stuff. Favorite them. Bookmark your newsletters. Subscribe to at most three different email lists owned by specific influencers in the industry, and your INBOX won't suffocate much at all.

The Key Is to Be Well Informed, Not Too Informed

That's only the beginning of how to approach your marketing strategy, as it's pretty clear that from industry to industry, best practices differ. You might want to focus on Facebook advertising for one, and LinkedIn advertising for another. Heck, sometimes native publishing and affiliate marketing might be the better way to go.

We have the ultimate 'newsletter' right here if you just CONTACT US RIGHT NOW for a free consultation about what we can do for you in your marketing plan. Let us take a look at what you currently are doing -- and see how we can improve it.

That's cutting the fat off your INBOX and newsletter reading! Still do it, though. It's good organic health for the corporate body.

Only if you're physically following one of them, you could be in danger of receiving several restraining orders! But as a budding professional, you sort of have to follow the higher-ups for all the updates and developments in the market. So it's a sort of LOSE-LOSE situation. Thankfully, though....

LinkedIn Is a GREAT Place to Follow All the Influencers You Want -- Without Restraining Orders

You're going to want to constantly get updates from those heavily in your industry anyway -- but thanks to LinkedIn, it's pretty darn easy. Even encouraged. That's networking on steroids! You remember networking, right? The idea of influencer marketing multiplies that factor by several billion, making you an instant game-changer and trendsetter, because you're staying abreast on the developments of your industry.

Truthfully, you can do this sort of influencer marketing just about on any platform, though -- but LinkedIn may have the best possible effectiveness given its corporate leverage.

Professionals

Entrepreneurs

Companies

Brands

That's LinkedIn's bread and butter. Spread it and devour it.

What? You Don't Have a LinkedIn Profile?

The good news is we at PDR Digital Content can even do that for you. Just contact us. And, yes, believe it or not -- there is a right way (and a wrong way) to develop a successful LinkedIn profile as well as utilize that profile to follow the right thought leaders in your market.

So let's get started, shall we? And don't forget the restraining order.

That's not necessarily a bad thing, nor is it this weird stigma that you have to be weird, because you're shopping at Weird Shopper Mart USA. Don't get us wrong: we love Wal-Mart. But we're not buying tampons or toilet paper here -- we're introduced to a plethora of options as far as marketing tech, and here's why it's good for you:

All of It Works Well -- So It's Only a Matter of What Marketing Tech You Want to Use

Testing is a great way to find that magic mix, whatever it is -- if you're prolific with Twitter and Facebook, stick with them. But if Instagram and Pinterest are more your thing, then good for you. The key is to test, run campaigns, see how it feels for you, see what the results are -- and more importantly, see if you like it.

Many marketers find great success with Adwords. Taboola. Outbrain. Yahoo Gemini. The sky's really the limit as there are dozens of platforms out there. And a lot of it depends on the industry or the market. In other words....

You Don't Need to Spread Yourself Out Too Much!

Diversify, of course. The more ads you run (and the more ad placements you have on your web properties), the more diversified traffic you'll get. But if it doesn't work, and you don't like it -- DROP IT. You don't need it.

Additionally, here's one more tip: if you're going to use this marketing technology to better your business.... PLEASE use it in your daily life as well! The more you use it just for fun, the more fun it'll be to use it for your business.

Another busy week:-
Chloe got two awards at school on Friday for being top swot. Makes you think because the Caribbean is a nation of encouraging the 3 R's the minute you leave the womb. Chloe has been schooled in Dutch and only started at 6 (a year ago) which proves the point that we all get there in the end and the ultimate benefits of play in the interim.
I came over all Delia/Martha this weekend and made bread. You can't beat the aroma and the taste of hot buttered bread fresh from the oven is a Mastercard moment. However, will I make more, I don't know, takes forever and a large loaf is only 5 EC$ afterall.
Last but not least, our awnings are up and don't we look all Homes & Gardens or possibly a Brighton beachside cafe.....

The kids love to sit on anything.
Honestly anything and everything is turned into a seat with then, dolls prams, toy boxes and even the coffee table much to my annoyance.
Recently they were sent a fun and funky new seat from Pink Apple Designs, this is a colourful plastic puppy which is actually a new seat for the children.
The Magis Puppy Chair comes in a whole array of colours including:
- Grey
- Dalmatian
- Glossy Red
- Glossy Black
- Glossy White
- Green
- Orange
- Transparent Red
- White
The above picture shows the sizes of the Puppy so you can see which size would suit your child. The prizes are dependent on the size and the colour, with a small one starting at £45.05.
We were sent a small sized Me Too Puppy. This has a height of 34.5cm and the seat height is 23.5cm. This is on the small size for Emmy however is a perfect fit for Harry, rather handy really as he seems to have claimed it for himself shouting "Mine" whenever Emmy sits on it.
It is made from a hard plastic and is both robust and stable, even Harry who isn't greatly coordinated yet doesn't manage to fall off of it or to over turn it.
These are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use and make a lovely quirky toy for the children as well as a seat for them to sit on.
Meet Fido! – Yes the kids named him, and Emmy even walks him around with a collar and a lead.
It's safe to say they both like him, a cute addition to the household, with the added bonus of needing no food or walks (unless of course you want too – as you can see Harry tries to feed him cheese).
You can also find Pink Apple Designs over on Facebook and on Twitter.

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. (AP) — A Catholic schools administrator in Traverse City has dropped a Hanukkah song from a Christmas concert.
Mike Buell of Grand Traverse Area Catholic Schools says he doesn't have a problem with Jewish music. But he says it's a season to focus on the birth of Jesus.
The song "Festival of Lights" was supposed to be performed Tuesday night by students from St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Middle School. The students are taught by two music instructors from Traverse City public schools.
The instructors were not going to participate without "Festival of Lights." The Traverse City Record-Eagle (http://bit.ly/V1OcqE) says Buell decided Monday to drop the Hanukkah song and put the concert in the hands of Catholic schools staff.

Welcome New Employee Theo Rabban
Theo Rabban is the newest member of the product development team led by Howie Brooks. A recent graduate of the University of Michigan, Theo earned his BSE in computer engineering and then went on to complete a master's degree in computer science. Although he always had an interest in computers and technology, Theo didn't really become hooked until his first programming class in college. Then, he decided that programming was what he wanted to do, and took as many programming classes as he could from then on.
Theo grew up in Novi, Michigan, about thirty miles from Ann Arbor, and his family still lives there, although Theo has made his home in north Ann Arbor. When he's not working, Theo likes to hang out with friends and is an avid fan of all the Detroit sports teams--but especially the Red Wings--as well as University of Michigan football.

The reputation of the Home Office was left in tatters as a national newspaper enlisted the help of a security researcher to make a clone of a genuine card and change the information on it.
The Dailymail seeked the expertise of Adam Laurie. He made an exact carbon copy of a sample card - obtained from a foreign student - using nothing more than a mobile phone with chip reading capabilities and a laptop, the grand total of the hardware being around £500.
More worrying though is the fact that it took a mere 12 minutes for Laurie to complete the operation. He succeeded in altering the person's name, any physical data, fingerprints as well as switching the "not entitled to benefits" option to "entitled to benefits".
He also added a message on the card asking the police to shoot on sight because the cardholder is a terrorist. The Home Office responded to the story by saying that the "story is rubbish. We are satisfied that the personal data on the chip cannot be changed or modified, and there is no evidence this has happened".
Laurie is a non-executive director of The Bunker and a freelance security consultant and also helps maintain Apache-SSL so he's pretty much clued up. He also came up with "an open source python library for exploring RFID devices" called RFIDIOt.
He told Tom Espiner of ZDNet that curiously, the Home Office turned down his offers to demonstrate how easy it was to replicate, clone and modify a UK Identity card.
More than 50,000 of these cards - which were officially unveiled on July 30th - have already been issued to foreign nationals and students living in the UK and according to the Government, the ID Card is supposed to be "unforgeable".
Back in April, former home secretary, David Blunkett urged the government to call off plans to introduce identity cards, more than eight years after he first brought forward the idea; this ultimately gave rise to the £5.4 billion ID card scheme.
The Tories have already confirmed that they will can the project if they come to power after the next General election in 2011.

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021009
Description of problem:
Upgrade of a Red Hat 7.1 partitionless install fails because the installer can't
find /mnt/sysimage/etc/fstab.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Perform a partitionless RHL 7.1 install onto a FAT32 partition.
2. Start up RHL 8.0 disc 1.
3. Follow the prompts. When asked for install type, choose to upgrade an
existing system. Then choose to not customize the packages that are upgraded.
Actual Results: Old installation is found. Installer mounts the FAT32 partition
(in my case /dev/hda1) to /mnt/sysimage. Installer fails to find
/mnt/sysimage/etc/fstab and produces a traceback (which I will attach to this bug).
Expected Results: Old installation is found. Installer mounts the FAT32
partition to /mnt/loophost. Installer then does a loopback mount of / to
/mnt/sysimage, and the installation proceeds properly. (This is what Red Hat
7.3's installer does.)
Additional info:
Created attachment 80384 [details]
Anaconda traceback of attempted partitionless upgrade
Upgrades of partitionless installs to Red Hat Linux 8.0 are not supported.
Ok. It'd be nice if it failed in a more user-friendly manner, though (a
traceback doesn't make it immediately obvious that upgrades of partitionless
installs are unsupported).
