Liverpool transfer blow : Mo Salah behind 'doomed' pursuit of Roma keeper Alisson ● News Now ● #LFC - Duration: 2:37.
LIVERPOOL are reportedly doomed in their pursuit of Roma star Alisson because of last year's
bargain deal with the Italian club over Mohamed Salah.
The Egyptian star has been in tremendous form for the Reds this year, scoring 44 goals in
all competitions.
However, it has not led to any silverware this season - despite making it to the Champions
League final.
Jurgen Klopp's men lost to Real Madrid in Kiev on Saturday night, largely down to two
glaring errors from Loris Karius.
First the German threw the ball out straight to Karim Benzema, who only needed to nudge
the ball to score a very bizarre opener.
And then he failed to deal with a Gareth Bale potshot, hitting his gloves before bouncing
over his head to put the game to bed.
Liverpool were already in the market for a goalkeeper, but Karius' performance has led
to the club putting extra emphasis on the search.
And Roma No.1 Alisson is their top target - who has enjoyed a breakthrough campaign
with the Serie A side.
It is the same club the Reds raided last summer in their acquisition of Salah, who won the
PFA Player of the Year award in his first season on Merseyside.
But the manner of their transfer pursuit of the former Chelsea winger has still left a
fractuous relationship, according to the Times.
Roma were struggling with Financial Fair Play regulations and needed to sell in order to
comply.
And the Reds took full advantage of that by signing their star man Salah for a cut-throat
price.
The 25-year-old joined for £37m - but his value has grown to £135m, according to Transfermarkt.
And the transfer has left a sour taste in Roma's mouths, with the Italian outfit prepared
to deny any bids for the Brazil international.
The Times go on to report that if negotiations were to begin, they would impose a 'Salah
tax' where they add on what they believe Salah should have cost last season.
A bid of around £80m is expected to be Roma's starting price.

How Important are Megapixels Really? - Duration: 4:19.
When digital photography first started, it was all about who could build a camera with
the highest resolution.
The highest megapixel count.
When models were doubling megapixels from 2 to 4, from 6 to 12 there was a noticeable
difference in image quality.
Today, we still have 10 to 12-megapixel cameras on the market.
But there are also offerings in excess of 50 plus megapixels so.
That begs the question, how important are megapixels, really?
Now, there are definitely advantages in working with higher resolution camera systems, and
this couldn't be more true than talking about printing work.
Generally speaking, professional quality images are printed at about 300 dpi, meaning each
square inch is approximately 300 x 300 pixels in size.
So, if you have a 24MP camera with a 6000 x 4000 resolution you can safely print at
up to 20 x 13.3" with excellent sharpness.
Now, if you get into the 50MP, you can bring that print size up to 29 x 19.3" with ease.
Now this doesn't mean you can't make great photographic prints with a lower resolution
camera.
Using modern imaging software, smart upscaling and an understanding of viewing distances
you can produce outstanding prints.
Billboards are a great example of this.
They are printed at extremely low DPIs, because you aren't going to be looking at them up
close like you would a print in a gallery.
So, 100 or even 50 DPI looks great.
But when you're printing highly detailed images that folks are going to see up close.
Megapixels, definitely matter.
Higher megapixel count also offers greater flexibility in post-production.
In, things like cropping, retouching and compositing.
So, yes megapixel counts are important too many fine art, landscape and commercial product
photographers.
Layout in graphic designers also appreciate the flexibility offered from the extra information
and detail.
Whether you shoot professional sports, just make snaps of your daily life.
It's hard to find an application that won't benefit some way from more megapixels.
However, there are some downsides to working with ultra-high resolutions.
More megapixels mean more heavy lifting during image acquisition.
And that means slower continuous shooting.
Slower autofocus performance and a generally less responsive shooting experience.
Other considerations are more resource intensive post-production and the need for higher capacity
memory cards and disk storage solutions.
The biggest downside to more megapixels is high ISO performance.
That's not to say there aren't newer cameras to push the limits ultra high-resolution capture.
Without sacrificing much of their raw speed or, lowlight performance.
Many manufacturers also produce more conservative lower-resolution models.
These options generally boast faster processing speed, boosted frames-per-second rates, sensor
readout and vastly improved high ISO and low-light performance
Another place where we see a huge advantage with lower resolution sensors is video.
This is because fewer pixels to read out for the camera generally means faster Imaging
processing and that reduces thing like rolling shutter from impacting your video quality.
Also, the ability to process the data easier results of proper downsampling for video with
fewer artifacts and aliasing.
Also, you get the same advantages in lowlight you do with still photography.
So, I guess the answer to the question how important are megapixels?
Isn't really as clear-cut as we'd hoped.
But, the number of pixels on a camera is no longer a good gauge with which to compare
systems.
If you do a lot of printing, shoot in a studio or want landscapes with exceptional detail.
High resolution camera is an obvious choice.
For those looking for better low-light performance improved video, more conservative options
are likely the better performers.

University of Memphis to offer free tuition to children, spouses of fallen service members - Duration: 2:17.
University of Memphis to offer free tuition to children, spouses of fallen service members
The University of Memphis will not longer charge tuition to the children and spouses of fallen service members.
The school becomes the first to offer the national Folds of Honor scholarship as a payment-in-full scholarship, The Memphis Commercial Appeal reported on Monday, Memorial Day.
The university already accepts the scholarship, which provides a $5,000-year-year payment to undergraduate students under the age of 24 who had a parent severely injured or killed while on active duty.
Spouses of any age can also receive it if they have not remarried.
Fold of Honor recipients, both those currently enrolled and future students, will not longer need to pay for the rest of their education at the Tennessee school.
The average cost of tuition Memphis is reportedly about $9,700 a year, plus room and board, fees and textbooks.
Any outstanding fees may also be covered by additional scholarships, said university President David Rudd.
Our commitment is to cover any gap that exists as a result and to relieve them of that burden, Rudd said.
The deal will be formally signed by Rudd in the coming weeks.
This sacrifice is remarkable and we need to recognize that, he said.

One Minute Singing Secrets: Don't Compare Yourself to Other Singers - Duration: 1:28.
One-minute singing secret video is starting right now.
Everyone does it.
People compare themselves to people around them.
And singers are no different.
Whether it's your idol or your choir friend.
Whether it's a recording of your favourite artist or yet to be discovered talent you
see on YouTube.
You naturally compare yourself to him or her.
But is it helping you?
I can tell you, this is a sure way to end your singing carrier pretty quickly.
Comparing yourself to singers around you will not boost your confidence or make you happy.
And by the way, it's not a fair comparison when you measure up to a professionally made
studio recording.
So, stop doing that!
Instead look at your own strengths and reward yourself for what you have already accomplished.
If you feel the need to measure up, compare yourself to you from yesterday or a week ago.
That is the only way to stay motivated and focused on what you love doing so much – and
that's singing.

Rescuers seek 1 man still missing after Maryland flash flood - Duration: 7:34.
Rescuers seek 1 man still missing after Maryland flash flood
ELLICOTT CITY, Md.
(AP) — A man remained missing Monday after flash flooding tore down a historic main street in a picturesque Maryland town and left a community heartbroken at seeing more devastation less than two years after rebuilding from another massive flood. .
The missing man — 39-year-old Eddison Hermond of Severn, Maryland — was last seen trying to help a woman rescue her cat behind a restaurant while churning, brown waters ripped through Ellicott Citys flood-prone downtown.
Howard County Police Chief Gary Gardner said the missing National Guard member and U.S.
Air Force veteran had been with a group at the La Palapa Grill & Cantina.
He said Hermond was trying to help others by holding a door open as brown floodwaters coursed through the restaurant when a woman approached, desperately trying to rescue her pet just outside.
He, along with some other folks, went back to assist her and unfortunately during that effort they saw him go under and water and not surface, Gordon told reporters, adding that the others made it out of the area safely.
Simon Cortes, who owns the restaurant, described Hermond as a super nice guy, who was frequently out in the community showing support when it worked to rebuild from the devastating flooding that ravaged the former mill town in July 2016.
Howard County Executive Allan Kittleman said that his immediate priorities are finding the missing man and assessing the condition of damaged buildings that housed shops, restaurants and families.
For now, the Main Street area remained blocked off Monday, even to residents and business owners, as teams of authorities and engineers surveyed the heartbreaking mess.
If you look at the devastation and the damage, I would certainly say its worse than 2016, Kittleman said.
Weve had areas that were not even damaged at all two years ago terribly damaged this time..
Ellicott City certainly got the worst of it.
But torrential rains led to such bad flooding in Baltimore County, Baltimore City and the capital of Annapolis that Gov.
Larry Hogan on Sunday declared a state of emergency statewide in order to better coordinate support and assistance.
With floodwaters receded Monday, revealing the damage in Ellicott City, residents and business owners could see the scope of the next challenge ahead of them: They face another mammoth cleanup and another daunting comeback.
Local resident Nathan Sowers, owner of the River House Pizza Co.
, an outdoor eatery in the old mill towns business district, said that after all the hard work rebuilding from the destructive 2016 flood hes feeling a bit overwhelmed at the prospect of tackling yet another revival.
Asked whether hes committed to building back anew he said: Well see.
It takes a lot of money and a lot of time..
But Sowers also said he saw other hard-hit locals laughing and joking about their troubles Monday morning — a good sign the Maryland town will launch yet another rebirth from raging floodwaters.
Sundays dramatic flooding tore up streets and swept away dozens of parked cars in the city, which sits in a ravine on the west bank of the Patapsco River, about 13 miles (20 kilometers) west of Baltimore.
Mike Muccilli, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Sterling, Virginia, has said it was too early to make comparisons between the two floods.
But he said both were devastating.
In the July 2016 storm, Ellicott City received 6.6 inches (17 centimeters) of rain over a two- to three-hour period.
On Sunday, the community received some 8 inches (20.32 centimeters) of rain over a six-hour period, but most of it fell during an intense, three-hour period, Muccilli said.
In a normal heavy rain event, you wouldnt see this amount of flooding, where you see cars floating down the road, Muccilli said.
This was a true flash flood..
During the flood a handmade, white flag hung from an upper story of a Main Street building bearing the letters SOS.
If you are trapped, we are coming, the Howard County Department of Fire and Rescue Services tweeted at one point.
Ellicott City has been methodically rebuilding since the 2016 flooding damaged and destroyed businesses.
Local officials recently said 96 percent of the businesses were back in operation and more than 20 new businesses had again opened in the Main Street area.
Just two weeks ago, Hogan announced that the Federal Emergency Management Agency had awarded the state and county more than $1 million to pay for projects aimed at reducing the flood risk in areas around Main Street.
Some are already asking whether enough was done after the last flood to prevent a similar catastrophe.
Hogan said temporary improvements were in place and more things were in the works to reduce the communitys vulnerabilities.
But he said big changes take time, and no one expected such a huge flood so soon after 2016.

America has a massive truck driver shortage. Here's why few want an $80,000 job. - Duration: 6:57.
America has a massive truck driver shortage. Here's why few want an $80,000 job.
America has a massive shortage of truck drivers.
Joyce Brenny, head of Brenny Transportation in Minnesota, increased driver pay 15 percent this year to try to attract more drivers.
Many of her drivers now earn $80,000, she says, yet she still cant find enough people for the job.
About 51,000 more drivers are needed to meet the demand from companies such as Amazon and Walmart that are shipping more goods across the country, according to the American Trucking Associations.
The driver shortage is already leading to delayed deliveries and higher prices for goods that Americans buy. The ATA predicts that its likely to get worse in the coming years.
Many trucking companies are so desperate for drivers that they are offering signing bonuses and pay raises.
So why dont more Americans want this job? We asked truck drivers who have been doing the job anywhere from four months to 40 years for their views.
Most said the answer is simple: The lifestyle is rough.
You barely see your family, you rarely shower, and you get little respect from car drivers, police or major retailers.
Michael Dow said he has been divorced twice because of trucking.
Donna Penland said she gained 60 pounds her first year from sitting all day and a lack of healthful food on the road.
A few drivers told The Washington Post that they earn $100,000, but many said their annual pay is less than $50,000 (government statistics say median pay for the industry is $42,000).
As for the bonuses, driver Daniel Gollnick said they are a "complete joke" because of all the strings attached.
Despite the hardships, half said they would recommend the job to friends and family, chiefly because, as Gollnick said, "its the easiest money you can get without a college degree.
" Here are the drivers perspectives on Americas trucking crisis.
I have been divorced two times because of truck driving.
" — Michael Dow.
Michael Dow of Dallas has been a truck driver for more than two decades.
He and his brother started a company, Dow Brothers Transportation, this year.
They hope it will more than double their pay from prior years.
Age: 48. Yearly income: $45,000.
Why dont people want this job? "The pay is so far behind the curve.
I make less money now than I did 20 years ago if you adjust for inflation and cost of living.
I figured it out once, and I was making $14 or $15 an hour driving for the big carriers.
People flipping hamburgers are demanding $15 an hour.".
Have you gotten a raise? "I have, because I went out and started my own company this year.
The rates have never been this good in over 20 years.
I hope the driver shortage continues.
Skilled drivers like me arent cheap right now.
Im anticipating Ill make $85,000 to $120,000 this year.".
Would you recommend this job? "I have a 21-year-old son in the military who is about ready to come out.
In all honesty, I do not wish him to get into this industry because its a hard life.
I dont recommend it to anyone who has a family.
My kids are in their 20s now.
I missed most of their lives growing up.
They tell me they wish I would have been home more.
I have been divorced two times because of truck driving.
For a real perspective, talk to a truckers wife.".
"I see those ads for big driver bonuses, but its a complete joke.
" — Daniel Gollnick .
Daniel Gollnick of Melrose, Wis., drives for a company that has him home each night.
He used to drive a flatbed truck across the country, but his girlfriend didnt like him being away so much.

This is East Asia—comprised of China, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan—and this is Europe.
2.4 billion people live in these two areas—a third of the world's population.
More impressively, each of these two regions have a GDP of about $20 trillion.
Combined, just these countries account for half of the world's economic activity.
They are two of the world's most dense, most developed, and m ost economically interlinked
regions and are home to the world's largest and most influential cities yet laying between
them is just one country—Russia.
This more of less means that one country controls whether Europe can get to Asia and vice versa
and for a while, they couldn't.
During the cold war, almost universally, non-soviet airlines were not allowed to fly over the
Soviet Union.
This proved a huge barrier to travel.
In the 1950's, flying on BOAC, which later became British Airways, the fastest route
from London to Tokyo involved leaving London at 10am on Friday and stopping in Rome, Beirut,
Bahrain, Karachi, Calcutta, Yangon, Bangkok, and Manila before finally arriving in Tokyo
at 6am on a Sunday.
All in all, that was 36 hours and 10,000 miles of travel to get between two cities 6,000
miles apart and that was also their fastest service on the Comet jet plane.
Their slower and cheaper propeller plane service would leave London on a Sunday and not arrive
in Tokyo until Thursday after 88 hours of travel.
It was just hugely inefficient but there was a better way—over the Arctic.
SAS was the first to develop routes overflying the Arctic but other airlines soon followed.
These routes were first used to get to the American west coast faster.
This involved developing new navigation systems to overcome the issue of traditional magnetic
compasses not working properly in the high north.
In the 1950's no commercial airplane had the range to fly to the American west coast
non-stop but with SAS's new polar route they would take a relatively quick route from
Copenhagen stopping in Kangerlussuaq, Greenland and Winnipeg, Canada before arriving in Los
Angeles.
This cut what was previously a 36 hour trip down to 22.
With SAS having proven that commercial flights over the Arctic were both safe and commercially
viable, other airlines quickly followed not only setting up routes to the American west
coast but also to the far east.
The most direct route from London to Tokyo flies over Siberia, but since that airspace
was closed airlines chose another way—the other way around the world.
In 1960, only 40,000 people lived in Anchorage, Alaska and Alaska had just became a state
the year before, but its airport emerged as a crucial stopping point between Europe and
Asia.
BOAC's thrice weekly polar route from London to Tokyo would leave Heathrow at 1:45 pm,
arrive in Anchorage nine and a half hours later, stop for an hour to refuel, and then
fly the remaining seven hours to Tokyo.
All in all, it was timetabled to take only seventeen and a half hours—half of what
the trip took before.
It was as drastic a reduction in travel time as when Concorde cut New York to London flights
from six hours to three.
BOAC wasn't the only one.
All the major European carriers set up routes to the far east via Anchorage in the 1960s
and 1970s.
While Anchorage sees only a few dozen daily commercial flights mostly to the continental
US today, in the 1970s it was served by Air France, SAS, KLM, Iberia, Lufthansa, Japan
Airlines, Korean Air, and more.
This tiny town in Alaska quickly became one of the most connected and cosmopolitan areas
of the world with passengers and flight crews from all around the world stopping over all
because of where it was.
As aircraft became more advanced with longer range, there were a few airlines that managed
to avoid stopping in Anchorage on their way from Europe to East Asia.
Finnair, for example, starting flying from Helsinki to Tokyo non-stop in 1983 by flying
in international airspace north of Russia over the North Pole.
This made what is today a nine hour flight thirteen hours but it was still faster than
stopping in Anchorage.
Overwhelmingly, though, airlines continued to fly through Anchorage.
Eventually, though, the Soviet Union did of course fall in 1991 and with that Russia started
to grant overflight rights to European and East Asian airlines.
They first had to modernize and anglicize their air traffic control system.
All international pilots and air traffic controllers worldwide speak English but before, since
there were few international flights over Russia, the Russian air traffic controllers
didn't speak english.
Once the changes were made, airlines quickly switched to flying non-stop from Europe to
Asia over Siberia.
That left Anchorage largely deserted.
The airport built a large and modern international terminal in 1982 to handle all the traffic
passing through the airport but then, less than ten years later, all those airlines that
kept the airport busy left in droves.
Today, that international terminal, built to handle hundreds of flights per month, only
sees a flight every few days.
Russia, meanwhile, is prospering thanks to the opening up of its airspace.
Flying to Asia over Siberia saves airlines huge amounts of time and money so Russia therefore
charges airlines huge amounts of money to do so.
Exact numbers vary by airline and are kept secret, but for each roundtrip flight between
Europe and Asia, Siberian overflight fees are believed to account for up to $100 of
a single passenger's ticket price.
Russia has an enormous amount of power by controlling this airspace and they use it
to their advantage.
133 countries have signed the International Civil Aviation Organization's Transit Agreement
which essentially allows any airline from any country to fly through the signatory's
airspace but Russia, however, has not, so they can pick and choose which country's
airlines get to fly through their airspace.
The country can and has used its airspace as a geopolitical weapon—in 2014 they threatened
to shut down their airspace to European Union airlines in response to sanctions, in 2017
they threatened to close the airspace to Dutch airlines in response to a reduction in landing
slots for a Russian airline at Schiphol airport, and in April 2018 they tacitly threatened
to close their airspace to US airlines in response to US military action in Syria.
But Russia not only decides which countries can fly in its airspace, it also decides which
specific airlines.
There is more or less a rule that only one airline per European country can overfly Russia.
There are certainly exceptions—both British Airways and Virgin Atlantic are London based,
for example, but both overfly Siberia on their routes to Shanghai and Hong Kong, but Air
France is the only French airline with Siberian overflight rights, Lufthansa is the only German
airline with overflight rights, Iberia is the only Spanish airline with overflight rights,
and so on and so forth.
For the longest while, this wasn't a problem.
European countries aren't that big and few had more than one intercontinental airline
but nowadays, however, that's changing.
We're seeing more and more budget airlines competing with the large, established carriers
on long-haul routes but, with this system of overflight permissions, the legacy carriers
more or less have a monopoly on east Asian routes.
SAS, for example, operates out of Norway, Denmark, and Sweden and they have Siberian
overflight rights that take them to destinations like Tokyo, Beijing, and Shanghai.
SAS is therefore the only Scandinavian airline allowed to overfly Siberia.
But also in Scandinavia is Norwegian Air.
As one of the largest low-cost airlines in the world, Norwegian has pioneered long-haul
budget flying mainly focusing on flights from major European cities to the US.
The airline has said, though, that it wants to expand eastwards.
They already have flights from Copenhagen, Oslo, and Stockholm to Bangkok and from London
to Singapore, but these destinations are far enough south that they don't involve flying
over Siberia.
The airline has repeatedly applied for Siberian overflight rights and repeatedly been denied.
They argue that SAS does not operate any flight from Norway to Asia so they should be granted
permission as the only Norwegian airline but, since SAS is partially registered in Norway,
Russia isn't granting permission.
Norwegian does have a subsidiary legally registered in the UK but its unlikely that Russia would
grant overflight rights to this since British Airways and Virgin Atlantic also have overflight
rights.
Norwegian airlines also has a subsidiary based in Ireland which does not have an airline
with Siberian overflight rights but, SAS also has a subsidiary based in the country which
could mean that Russia will deny rights to this subsidiary too.
As of now, Russia has not granted overflight permission to any budget airline.
Others have tried—Icelandic airlines Wow Air and Icelandair have attempted to negotiate
overflight rights—but Russia views overflights as a way to make money and wants to charge
fees that would make it impossible for a low-cost airline.
For now, Wow Air has planned to start flights from Reykjavik to Delhi, India which, in a
direct routing would fly over Russia but can route around Russia by only adding 45 minutes
in extra flight time if an arrangement isn't made before flights start in December 2018.
Russia is a powerful politically-savvy country that knows that these overflight rights are
a huge negotiation tool.
Pulling the rights of a country's airline would be a huge financial blow and granting
rights is also a huge advantage.
Competition, though, is good for the consumer and this current system stifles it.
Until Russia starts granting overflight rights to budget airlines, nonstop flights to Asia
will stay expensive.
The fact that this shortcut over Siberia is now open at all, however, saves millions of
passengers yearly enormous amounts of time and money.
Watching this ten-minute video of our technological progress might make you think that we got
here in one giant leap, but that, of course, is not the case.
We had to develop new navigation systems to work around old-school compasses, build airports
to help planes refuel, and extend the range of aircraft.
The problem of advancing enough to be able to fly non-stop to the other side of the world
was huge but it was broken down and approached in small steps.
Brilliant works in a similar way—breaking a problem down, identifying the relevant concepts,
thinking clearly through each part, and building it back up to the conclusion.
In this manner, super complex topics like number theory or calculus can be easily understood
by anyone.
My favorite from Brilliant is their logic course, which starts simple, but then builds
up your skills so you can solve seemingly impossible problems.

JAGMAC Interview | How They Got Started, Radio Disney & More - Duration: 4:49.
hey guys, we're JAGMAC. we're all brothers and sisters one family. JAGMAC actually
stands for the first letter of each of our names from youngest to oldest what's
up I'm Jared hey guys I'm Angelique what's up I'm Gabriel
how's it going, I'm Manjo. what's up guys my name is Alyssa and I'm CJ put it
together you get JAGMAC. That's us!
it wasn't until we sang for our dad's 40th birthday party my brother wrote a
song we did like a little dance routine - he had like these little head mics it
was not really serious but um you know from men like my dad saw something in us
and was like you know we should actually pursue this for real and so he called up
one of his buddies who happened to be Toni Braxton's brother at the time and
he hooked us up with like a local producer nearby and from then we just
kept recording music writing our own music performing in different places and
here we are today. Our mom's a singer and our dad's a dancer so we've been
around music all of our lives it's something we all love to do
in the beginning I think I'd say it was a lot more but me and my sister Alyssa
writing the songs but recently we've been actually working with a lot of
co-writers and even like all together as a group just putting in our input all of
our just the thoughts and everything into the process and it's entrer I'm
really well so far so it's definitely a collective process
we have been working on with Radio Disney for about a year and a half now
they've been amazing they've been playing a couple of our
singles we give them a single they'll play it and that was amazing
we thought we were going to just give them our single and that would be it they would
play it and everything but the general manager or the CEO of Radio Disney
saw it and he was like I want these guys to be the next big thing for Radio Disney
and the past next big things I've been like Shawn Mendes, Camila Cabello
Alessia Cara, the vamps, fifth harmony all these people so to be like the face of
Radio Disney, our promotions for six months we're like the face of it so it's
an honor. It's incredible. And when they called us, I mean we were freaking out.
We still can't believe it.
A lot of our friends back home are like recording us on the Disney Channel, and we're just like, oh man.
I think kind of collectively as a group, our influence would be like the Jackson 5 because they were family they were fun
doing music we also like the black-eyed peas and there's think that their funk
and their sound Bruno Mars but me personally I grew up watching the
Backstreet Boys and I wanted to be in the Backstreet Boys. How about you guys?
My early influences were people like you know Christina Aguilera, Mariah Carey,
Kelly Clarkson all the big ballad singers
NSYNC also grew up listening to. He likes country music. We like every type.
Thomas Rhett I love my girl Beyonce
I love pink too and Hayley Williams. Jared I really like um Shawn Mendes Chris Brown, Bruno Mars, Biebs.
Beyonce, yeah. Or like a DJ or something. Oh, Little Mix!
We were on tour with them back for their Get Weird tour. That would be cool if we came together.
First off, just don't be afraid to start. You kind of have to take on that courage. If it's something that
you love to do, don't be afraid to show it and to put it out there for the world.
Like if you're given this talent, it should ever be hidden inside. You should share it with the world and spread joy.
It all starts with a dream. You have some practice, you have to really want it.
you gotta put the work in you got to be persistent and be patient with the
process I mean to just trust yeah if you put the work in good things will come out of it.
for the right reasons, for the right intentions yeah definitely just keep pushing man keep
keep pushing. keep swimming or keep singing in this case.
and so our music video for right back with you is out now go watch it
you're gonna love it. We don't want to give it away, but like you gotta watch it. It's very colorful and fun. Show your friends.

The Changing Role of the PLC Process Across Five Levels of School Reform - Duration: 3:20.
Robert J. Marzano: "This is my 50th year in education, so I've seen five decades of schooling,
and it's interesting how there are, kind of, reform movements, and there has been since
the very first time I entered education in 1968.
So, let me talk about reform first.
Reform used to mean doing things differently, no kidding, and in some places it still does.
By that, I mean, reform always implied we're trying to make schools better, 'So let's try
block scheduling.
That's the new reform.'
Great idea, but it didn't create what we wanted.
'Let's try small schools.'
Technology, that was going to reform education.
Different forms of grading, that was going to reform education, different ways of teaching
mathematics, etc., etc.
Now, I'm not criticizing all those reforms that I mentioned, they were all good except
they didn't have the systemic impact that everybody was looking for.
I think with the power of the PLC process added to those things that we know, of which
I mentioned, that really can dramatically enhance what we do in K-12 education.
The time is right.
I now really believe this is a new era.
Reform used to mean doing things differently, but what does it mean now?
Well, from a high reliability perspective, I'll explain that term, 'high reliability,'
reform means being accountable for ensuring that what you are doing actually works.
Now, the term, 'high reliability,' comes from the business world.
Those organizations that succeed in whatever endeavor they've identified as their focus
and last generally operate from a high reliability perspective.
The military does, it operates from a high reliability perspective, and that means they
hold themselves accountable for making sure that the things that they're doing actually
have the desired effects.
Now, of course that means that you have to know the desired effects of those things you
are doing.
That's a challenge for us, because we, K-12 education, we're very used to saying, 'Well,
let's bring in this new program.
Let's bring in this new program,' as opposed to also saying, 'Gee, this new initiative,'
as in the small school movement.
What's the desired effect?
Let's actually get down to a real concrete description of it.
Because we have smaller schools, what do you think will happen differently?
Once you answered that question, you actually now know what to look for to see it, it being
the intervention, the initiative you've taken on, is actually working.
So, a high reliability perspective just basically says whatever initiative you're engaged in,
be accountable for making sure it's doing what it actually is supposed to do."

3 Controversial Digital Marketing Campaigns That Made Me MILLIONS - Duration: 7:03.
-------------------------------------------
No Judge Mint | Killer Whey's most decadent Keto ice cream flavor! - Duration: 8:47.
I'm diving into another flavor from Keto-specific ice cream company
Killer Whey this week. I'm doing "No Judge Mint", starting now.
Hey, guys. Welcome to A.D. Keto. My name is Aaron. This is the channel where you can
watch a weird dad work his way through the ketogenic diet. I do some keto food
vlogs, I do some keto recipes, and I do some keto product reviews. If this is your
first time here, please consider subscribing, and if you do, make sure
you're on Notification Squad by clicking the bell. All right, guys. This is the third
of four flavors that I'm reviewing from Killer Whey. They're a company, an
ice-cream company, out of Boise, Idaho. They do keto-specific ice creams. Awesome.
So a couple weeks ago, I did Coco You Know, which is their chocolate flavor.
Really quite enjoyed it. And then last week, I did a review of their Chilla in
Vanilla flavor, also very good. That review you can see right up there. This
week, it's No Judge Mint, and it's got one more net carb per serving. But I want to
read you what they have to say about it here from their website. It says:
"Refreshing mint chocolate chip keto ice cream is our most indulgent flavor, made
with all-natural peppermint extract and just the right amount of chocolate chips.
It's 3 grams of net carbs per serving..." There shouldn't be an apostrophe
there, guys. Its 3 grams of net carbs per serving make for a refreshingly healthy
treat. It all contains MCT oil, sourced 100% from coconut. Our mint chip ice
cream contains only 3 grams of sugar per serving, from just the right amount of
chocolate chips*. It feels and tastes like a real ice cream without the
consequences of high amounts of sugar. So let's see what that asterisk means.
You'll notice our mint chip has 3 grams of sugar on the Nutrition Facts. Two
grams are from the dairy ingredients (lactose is rated 45 on the glycemic
index) and the chocolate chips have only 1 gram of sugar per serving.
Cool. So this is their most indulgent flavor. One more gram of net carbs per
serving. I will say, I like those other two flavors -- the vanilla, in particular, felt
more natural, you know -- If that makes sense -- than then other ice
creams. And if you haven't watched either of those other two videos, I'll just tell
you a little bit about these guys in Boise, Idaho. They're making two lines of
ice creams. One is a protein... high protein ice cream, which in itself could fit into
someone's keto diet. But they also do a keto-specific ice cream for low carbers
like us. Higher in fat, really good ratios, really good macros in each pint.
So I'll get into that a little bit more in just a moment, but first I want to
review No Judge Mint. Now this has been out of my freezer for one hour.
I'm just gonna dump ice cream all over my computer, how's that? There it is.
Smooth. Silky smooth. Some chocolate chips in there. The only mint ice creams I
really can compare it to, from off the top my head, are the Halo Top Mint Chip
ice cream, which has definitely that...you know, synthetic-y
feeling mint. I don't particularly care for that kind, and I think I've had
Enlightened's. There's an Enlightened Mint Chip, which I like a little bit more.
We'll see how this guy stacks up. So I'm gonna take...Oh, and three parts of the
review: first part is the texture -- what's it feel like coming out of the pint? How's
it feel once it's inside my mouth? Second part of the review is the taste. I'm
expecting this to taste like natural mint. And then the third part is the
carbs. So we already know it's pretty low in carbs, but we'll get there. All right.
So I'm gonna dig in here. Let me put that so you guys can see it.
I'm blown out, there. This is what you get when you have just your phone. Oh, that's
nice. That's a good-looking... good-looking scoop. They're one
Whoo! One hour. One hour is the amount of time to leave this thing out, because
that... that's an ideal texture. Fatty. Oh, it's... you can tell it's fattier. I really
like the texture and the taste.
The taste -- I mean, it tastes like peppermint. So I'll get
some of these chocolate chunks, here. See if that does anything for me.
I was like, "Where is it that crunch?" That was it. I can get behind this flavor, you
guys. These guys are batting three for three.
Man, this is quite good. All right, last bite, I promise.
Texture and taste are really working for me. If ya got an hour, leave this thing
out. If not, probably 20 or 30 seconds in the microwave will get you there. I prefer
not to do that. I've had some people suggest that. "Just put it
in the microwave." Which I've done in a pinch, when I really want ice cream NOW.
I don't like... I don't like the way it comes out. I don't like warmth... warm.
I don't like warm at all in my ice cream. At any rate, I'll read you the nutrition
information, here. Nutrition Facts: Serving size is one-half cup. Servings per
container: four. The same as the other guys. This is where it starts to diverge.
Wildly diverge from the other guys. Calories:160 per serving, so that's
640 calories per pint. Total fat: 15 grams. Great. Normally, in the other guys,
they give you one. Two. 15!! Saturated fat: 10 grams. Carbohydrates: 13 grams total carbs.
Two dietary fiber. Sugar alcohol: 3 grams of net carbs per serving.
Excuse me. 12 net carbs per pint. Fantastic. I'll read the
ingredients. Ingredients are: cream, filtered water, erythritol, whey protein
concentrate, chocolate chips (which contains sugar, chocolate, and liquor)
Liqueur? Chocolate liqueur? Is that liquor or liqueur? Chocolate liquor. That's how
it's spelled. Cocoa butter, soy lecithin -- thank you for
helping me pronounce that, everybody who helped me pronounce it -- and vanilla.
So that was just the ingredients of the chocolate chips, those last a few
ingredients. Then there's chicory root fiber, MCT oil, which is cool that there's
MCT oil in here, vegetable glycerin, peppermint flavor,
natural stevia, and then gums: xanthan, locust bean, and guar. Contains milk, soy,
and coconut. Pretty clean. So another win for these guys, and if you haven't
watched the other two videos, I'll have you know that I got in touch with
them a little while ago, and asked them if they'd like me to review this stuff. They
said yes. They gave me a discount code to give to you guys, and it is KETOAD10.
And in the first video, I thought it only gave you 10% off, but then I realized I
was wrong, and you get $10 off. So this is a little pricier because it's online
only, except for three markets, and it's nine bucks a pint. But you got ten bucks
off with that promo code. It pays for the shipping. So check these guys out if you
can. I'm really excited about how they're going about making these ice creams for
keto people. Really cool. So that's No Judge Mint, a pun that's as delicious as the
ice cream. And that's gonna wrap it up for this video, guys. Hope you enjoyed it.
Hope you get some use out of that discount code. Hope you try this stuff.
Let me know in the comments if you do try this stuff, how you like it. What do
you think? And that's gonna wrap it up. So I hope you have a fantastic day, and I'll
see you next time.
so let's see what that asterisk... asterisk. Our key tasted more like natural vanilla
then hey ding so no judgment they say it's

How to Draw Moon Craters in 3D - Very easy - Duration: 3:47.
Hello my friends and welcome to another Tuesday of tutorial!
I am Leonardo Pereznieto and today we will draw Moon craters.
To begin we will sketch an almost circle, a little bit uneven and slightly taller
than wider.
Then, further up a second one.
This time a little bit more wide than tall.
Then sketch a slanted, curvy line that goes through the middle.
This will divide the light from the shadow
and some lines that will indicate how the walls of the hole
go down.
And the outside, which is like a mini-volcano [laughter].
For this drawing I´m using carbon pencils of different degrees which
deliver a darker black than graphite pencils.
With these we do the side in shadow and the rocky texture of the Moon.
The list with all the materials that I am using for this drawing,
is in the description below the video.
The lower area of the hole is the darkest spot.
With the kneaded eraser I clean up a little bit the upper part, because
I will apply some white, and if there is black, it gets muddy.
With this pencil we can do the light reflections.
Our illumination is coming from the left, and a little bit high
therefore the areas of the Moon of the left of the holes are lighter
and there should be a dark shadow on the right.
To get rid of the texture of the paper inside the holes, I use a blending stump.
If you would like to help me translating this video into your language,
so that a lot of people in your country can benefit, and I will appreciate it a lot,
it is fun and easy.
The instructions are also in the description below the video.
We draw little rocks, dust and crevices
…and a few little holes.
We will have a shadow on the right of this rocks and a reflecting light
on the left.
This drawing is meant to have a 3D effect.
Right now it looks a little bit 3D already, by the way I´ll add a little
hole here.
But to have a better 3D effect, I will simply lower the camera.
Right now it is straight on the paper,
at a 90 degree angle, but let´s lower it, like a 45 like this.
It looks like we are walking on the Moon.
By seeing it from this angle I see some things that need to be corrected.
I will lower this shadow
with the kneaded eraser.
I will darken this one lightly,
and then make a wider light on the left.
If you look at the actual drawing, live, with both your eyes,
the 3D effect doesn´t quite work.
For it to work you can look at it through the camera,
like now, that we are moon walking, or you can shut one eye.
I recommend not shutting both your eyes because then
you cannot see the 3D effect either! [laughter].
And it´s ready!
If you enjoyed it please give it a LIKE! share it to your friends
and subscribe to Fine Art-Tips.
And I will see you, on Tuesday ;)

I Got Transformed Into Kourtney Kardashian | Beauty Evolution | Refinery29 - Duration: 3:06.
If you haven't already, don't forget to hit subscribe down below so you can watch
all of our videos.
I've been watching the Kardashians since it first started.
I like Kourtney because I always think of her as kind of like the more funny one.
She doesn't take herself so seriously.
I think she's the most down to earth out of all of them, so I really like that about her.
I definitely noticed a change in Kourtney over the years.
Her style has become more elevated.
She's become a lot more confident and mature.
Oh my god!
I'm a little nervous, but excited, so let's get started.
This look is very classic, early Kardashian.
I feel like every Kardashian girl had this look at one point.
With the big va va voom hair.
She has a ton of heavy makeup on, a lot of bronzer, you know, that really dramatic cat eye.
Big full lashes, that nude glossy lip.
Oh my god.
I feel like a different person.
I feel very glamorous.
This second look is definitely a little bit more sophisticated, more toned down, more
stylish and elevated.
She has you know, the middle part, long sleek black hair which I love.
She's still got bold eyeliner and fake long lashes here, but it's definitely more toned
down than the first look.
Her skin looks great and glowy.
It doesn't look like she has as much bronzer here and she's still rockin' that nude lip.
Oh my god.
I love it, it makes me want to grow my hair long and dark.
I feel really sophisticated, I like this look.
This last looks seems more model off duty, in the airport "I don't care" kind of vibe.
She looks really comfy, but at the same time put together.
It's interesting comparing this look to the very first one because you can see how
much her style has changed.
Woo!
Oh my god.
I'd say this look out of all of the three definitely feels like the least like my style.
But it's really fun.
I think it's fun to see me in something like this.
Doing these three looks today was such a blast.
It really took me out of my comfort zone, which was really cool and it was also fun getting
to see how things like a red lip or short black hair looked on me cause it was stuff
that I would probably never try just on my own.
Thank you so much for watching.

Telephone Consumer Protection Act Compliance for Nonprofit Organizations - Duration: 7:57.
Derek: Hi, everyone, Derek Johnson with tatango.com.
Today I'm at Innovista Law, home of the TCPA Defense Force.
And I'm sitting down talking to attorney Ernesto Mendieta about nonprofit compliance
for text messaging, and specifically the Telephone Consumer Protection Act or the TCPA.
So what do nonprofits need to know about complying with the TCPA when they send text messages?
Ernesto: Well, nonprofits have a special treatment, so any message that they send have a specific
regulation under the TCPA.
First, the FCC has exempted them from their requirement of scrubbing their numbers against
the National Do Not Call Registry.
Normally, under the TCPA for any telephone solicitation, you cannot call the numbers
that are registered in the Do Not Call Register.
But nonprofits can skip that step.
Derek: Okay, because, and maybe explain to me, nonprofits they don't need to actually
to opt-in to receive text messages from the nonprofit or how do people in a nonprofit
opt-in?
Ernesto: Correct there's, here we're talking about consent of when to receive.
And we have distinguish between residential and wireless.
For residential, the consent requirement goes down and you do not need previous consent
to talk, to get a call by or on behalf of a nonprofit.
For wireless and text messages to cellular phones, the consent requirement and level
is also lowered.
Under a normal text message, a telemarketing message to a wireless phone, you would need
express written prior consent.
Derek: Okay so if you're like a brand or retailer sending a coupon, prior express consent,
written consent.
Ernesto: Prior express consent, yes.
For nonprofit you can avoid the greeting part.
So it brings down the requirement to just express prior consent.
So you, if you gave your telephone number to a company, to a nonprofit, sorry.
We're talking about a nonprofit, it's understood that you consented to receive information
about that nonprofit.
Derek: Okay, so if I was interested in nonprofit, I gave my email address, I filled out some
info, I put in my phone number, and it didn't specifically say they were gonna text message
me, it just, I was giving my phone number to the nonprofit, maybe I support them, they
could text message me?
Ernesto: Yes.
Derek: Okay, so that's why you would have to if you were a brand, you would have to
scrub against maybe the Do Not Call list.
But nonprofits they don't have to.
Ernesto: Yes, correct.
The other requirement that they're relieved from is having their company-specific Do Not
Call list.
Normally what companies do is, whenever they receive an opt-out request, they have a list
in which it says these numbers we do not have to call.
Derek: So in our system, we have like the unsubscribed status.
So when someone subscribed, and they unsubscribe, we have to unsubscribe them.
Ernesto: Yes.
Nonprofits do not have that obligation.
They can do it best practices, to avoid calling people.
Because if they're a nonprofit and they are trying to look funding and they're calling
someone that already asked them to stop, it's gonna be an issue and there is not gonna be
any funding.
Derek: Exactly they're not going to be happy.
Ernesto: They wanna achieve their purpose.
Derek: Yeah, because at the end of the day it's really the consumer that matters the
most.
Like there is the law, but then also what makes sense for people so you're not frustrating
them, or you know, making them angry at your nonprofit.
Ernesto: Yes, correct.
Derek: So there's two different things.
The first one was.
Ernesto: The Do Not Call registry.
They don't have to scrub their numbers against the registry.
And the second is the lower consent requirements, they don't need it in writing.
Derek: Okay so you don't have to like, what we call double opt-in, where, you know, they're
texting out their phone.
Now they can, right, a lot of nonprofits have double opt-ins, and they opt-in people.
But you're saying that it's not required by the TCPA.
Ernesto: Correct.
Derek: An exemption, is that what it's called?
Ernesto: Yes.
Derek: Okay, so they have an exemption to doing that.
Ernesto: Yes.
Derek: That's interesting.
Ernesto: Yes, and the other thing that we have to keep in mind is that the messages
need to be made by or on behalf of the nonprofit.
So they can hire agents that are looking for funding for the nonprofit and even those third-party
agents that are calling on behalf of the nonprofit will have the same exceptions.
Derek: Oh, interesting, okay so it could either be the nonprofit or the agents, but they have
to be representing the nonprofit.
Ernesto: Yes.
Derek: It can't be just like, "Oh, we do business with those people.
And now we're text messaging them about Chipotle or some other company."
Ernesto: Yes, it has to be on behalf of the nonprofit, and with a purpose relating to
that.
Derek: Relating to it, okay.
Ernesto: Yes.
You can't add like, "Oh, I'm calling about this nonprofit, but let me tell you
about this other product that I'm selling."
Derek: This Ford car that's amazing, or something.
Ernesto: Yes, that will get you in trouble with the FCC, the courts will see through
it, and know that the main purpose of that call was actually to do some telemarketing.
Derek: To market or sales.
Ernesto: Yes.
Derek: Now what nonprofits, I know there is an exemption if you're not doing marketing
or sales type text message just in general.
For nonprofits, what if they are selling something?
What if they are technically, they're always marketing something, they're marketing a
cause, they're marketing give me donations.
So all that is exempt?
Ernesto: No, it needs to be related to their nonprofit purpose.
If you entered an area of marketing, or trying to sell a product or trying to promote a service,
you will be treated as telemarketing.
Derek: Okay so promoting, like if I'm a nonprofit and I promote a car, that would
100% be, you know, bad.
Ernesto: Yes, it will end up being considered as solicitation.
Derek: Okay but if I'm selling, if I message my nonprofit members and I say, you know,
we have a new t-shirt out, that has the name of the nonprofit on the t-shirt and we're
raising money by selling these t-shirts.
Is that kind of a gray area or?
Ernesto: Not a gray area it's subject to analysis if it comes to the FCC or a court
to actually decide.
But the example you're saying for me, it's crystal clear that it's actually for the
nonprofit purpose, so…
Derek: Because it's about that nonprofit's business…
Ernesto: Yes, and it involves the selling of the shirt but it's part of the funding
of the nonprofit.
Derek: Okay, interesting.
Would you recommend nonprofit, no matter really what, to always consult an attorney?
Ernesto: Yes, I would always do.
Derek: Because it does sound like there are a lot of nuances here.
And certain nonprofits, I'm guessing, are not exempt maybe?
I don't even know if that's correct.
Are there like certain designations of a nonprofit that are exempt?
Ernesto: There's several categories.
And they would all fall into the same one.
Derek: Oh, so they all fall in?
Ernesto: Yes.
They would all fall in…
Derek: As long as you're a nonprofit.
Ernesto: Yes.
Derek: Okay, interesting.
Well, again nonprofits if you're listening, text messaging is great but, you know, there
are some exemptions it makes it a little easier.
You don't have to have the same qualifications I guess.
What was your wording?
Ernesto: Yeah, the IRS can give you a certain qualification, but you can also be a certain
program or a certain association with a different certification you will still fall with the
TCPA exception.
Derek: It's just a lower barrier, you're not exempt.
Ernesto: You're not exempt.
Derek: It's just there's a lower barrier to your compliance, I guess.
Ernesto: Yeah, we can say a lower barrier to the consent requirements that you need
to receive.
Derek: So even if you are a nonprofit, definitely consult an attorney because there's a lot
of nuances.
But again I'm Derek Johnson with tatango.com here at Innovista Law, the home of the TCPA
Defense Force and we're talking TCPA compliance
for nonprofits.

3 POWERFUL Tips For Generating 100+ Amazon Reviews In 2018 :: Updated TOS And How To Guide - Duration: 15:41.
what's going on guys welcome to lesson 4 and today's training I want to be
talking to you about how you can follow up with everybody that bought your
products so that you can generate a ton of reviews and also the two best ways
that you can use retargeting and this is gonna show you how to increase your
sales to retargeting and also how to increase your reviews anyways I'm gonna
go ahead and hop in the computer so that I can show you guys exactly how to set
this up alright what's going on guys so we're gonna be talking about how to
follow up to generate a ton of reviews and the best way to use retargeting now
we want to use an email follow-up service connected within Amazon so that
whenever any of our customers decide to go ahead and purchase our products that
an email is already automatically sent out to them now there's a couple of
different email follow-up providers that are on the market right now and they're
all really great but the one that I like to use is feedback genius I started
using them a couple years ago and I've only used them for my Amazon business
now there's one such as long jump or viral launch you know you guys can go
ahead and test them out and see which one works best for you but my personal
favorite is feedback genius now let's go ahead and jump in and see what the
emails look like okay so for the follow-up emails I only have two emails
I'm anything more than that I've been testing and I see that it's just
diminishing returns if you send like three or four follow-up
emails then you start getting less reviews but if you only send one to two
emails you get more reviews and you know it hurts your brand less in the long
term because you know you don't seem as needy and you don't come off as kind of
like pestering your customers but anyways these are the emails so the
first one that you do is you go ahead and send it out as soon as the product
is delivered now it's just hi first name you guys can just um put the double
brackets and within feedback genius and it automatically pulls the first name of
the customer I just wanted to reach out to make sure that product name arrives
safe and sound with no problems we're a small family company that live
or die on the feedback of customers like yourself please do not hesitate to
message us about any question or issue you were having and we want you to have
the best experience possible with product name thank you again you know
you put your name company founder and something really cool that I saw and
I've been testing is put down sent from my iphone you know whatever can give you
guys a little competitive edge like you know we're a small family
company that's true you know most of you guys are gonna be signing like 10 20 30
40 50 thousand dollars a month making like 10 to 20 thousand dollars in profit
which is technically considered you know small family business
so um anyways if you guys go ahead and put down I sent for my iPhone you'll
start getting a bunch of responses from people saying wow like this guy really
really took the time out to message us or wow this girl really took the time
out to message us from their phone and you know you're gonna see that you're
gonna start generating and garnishing more responses and you know this is just
gonna keep people like intact with your brand because they think that you
actually care enough to go ahead and send them a message from your iPhone and
we do and it'd be awesome if we had the time to go ahead and send everybody you
know an individual message but it's just not possible with the time restraints
and if you're really scaling this business up then you know you wouldn't
want to be spending all your time just send the emails out to your customers so
that's why we have services like feedback genius and song jump anyway
some the next email that I go ahead and send this three days after delivery
hello first name you know we just wanted to follow up to the email we sent a few
days ago and let you know how excited we are to welcome you to the brand name
community if this is your first purchase of brand name product you are in for a
unique experience as you get to know and appreciate and you know you guys can
just put in what your brand stands for you know whether it's quality luxury or
anything else or you know sturdiness long lasting workmanship just whatever
it is behind every product that we make like I covered in the previous videos
branding is important and we want to make sure that we have a solid brand and
kind of get people to start like getting introductive to our brand so that they
get to know us better and know like what we're about and you know if you have a
solid brand that's you know you'll usually able to sell for a little bit
more and you can create brand loyalty with your customers now you know product
name is well known for you know enter what you're known for kind of similar to
the brand but this is just for the product and we're sure that you agree
would you be willing to leave a feedback you know as an Amazon seller we love for
you to share your thoughts about brand name and how we performed as a seller
your opinion will help Amazon shoppers make a confident buying
decision have questions about your product or brand name simply reply to
this email and someone from our team will make it a priority to take care of
you thank you again your name company founder and if you want and go ahead and
include sent for my iPhone now the reason that we go ahead and ask for the
feedback is you know just in case of somebody for whatever reason isn't happy
with the product because you know when you guys a manufacturing product some
products are uh they're always gonna have defects you know if you're ordering
a thousand there might be a handful that have defects and people might get upset
about that so that's why you ask them to go ahead and leave a feedback first so
just in case it's negative product review then you can go ahead and go to
Amazon and tell them to remove the feedback because it's not technically
feedback is technically a product with you now if they do go ahead and leave
positive feedback and leave it as a product review because a lot of people
tend to do that they tend to go on the feedback link and leave a product review
then you can just go ahead and message them ask them to go ahead and copy and
paste it over to the review section so you're not gonna have two birds with one
stone with this strategy so you're getting both feedback and you're also
generating reviews for your product while filtering out any negative reviews
anyways guys that's it for the follow-up sequence as you see we kept it super
simple just one to two emails as what works best and in the first one we send
it immediately upon when the product is delivered so you know you just ask them
to make sure everything's okay with the product if they have any questions or
anything like that to go ahead and send you a message and then the second email
that we send is three days after the products delivered you know kind of
introduce them to your brand and what you're about and then go ahead and ask
for the feedback this way you know you're generating positive feedback for
your account which keeps your account in good health with Amazon and you're going
to be also generating positive reviews for your product so you're not gonna two
birds with one stone while also diminishing any negative feedback or any
negative reviews that people might be leaving for your product anyways guys
we've been talking a lot about retargeting over the past couple videos
so I want to go ahead and talk about it a little bit more in-depth and show you
guys how we use it so anyways I'm in case you guys don't know what
retargeting is I'm gonna explain it real quick with this diagram here so
your potential customer they visit your site you know whether it be your bridge
page your giveaway page you know if you're running people straight to let's
say a sales page with clickfunnels or if you're running a Shopify store you know
they visit your site but they leave without checking out anyways you know
this could be for a variety of different reasons could be the mailman could be
the kid could be the dog could be anything but you know later down the
road you know later the same day or later during the week they're on the
website they're on the website later they're surfing the web and you know
they're on Facebook or they're on their favorite web site and you know your ad
pops up and recapture their interest and their attention and it brings them back
to your site to get them to complete whatever it was that they were doing
whether it be you know checking out or you know leaving their information for a
coupon or some sort of ebook or anything and you know then your potential
customers turn into happy customers and you know you've made money you've made
them happy and they're most likely to come back because you've been able to
capture their attention again now this is something that a lot of Amazon
sellers don't do and you know retargeting is super cheap because it's
it's a lot cheaper than what normal advertising is because you're getting
people back to your website which already returned and you know sometimes
it takes a couple of times for people to see your product and to see your company
and see what you're about before they buy but you know if they keep on seeing
your retargeting ads over and over again they're more likely to go ahead and
click on your link again and go ahead and purchase or get them to do whatever
you know you were gonna get them to do in the first place anyways I'm if you
guys don't remember this is the Amazon FBA sales funnel that we're gonna be
using you know I've talked about it in the previous lessons and if you still
haven't downloaded it into your account make sure to go ahead and download it
into your account but anyways we send Facebook ads or outside traffic we send
them to an opt-in page or a bridge page depending on what our objective is and
then from that page we take them to our Amazon listing and you know since we've
captured their email address then we get to go ahead and send them emails and
follow up with them and you know see if they want any products kind of introduce
them to a brand and offer them any discounts or anything that we decide to
do as part of our marketing strategy now retargeting this
is where you add the retargeting pixel you added on to your opt-in page or your
bridge page so as you guys can see here you know this cool little graphic that I
added to the sales funnel and it's the retargeting pixel and that's where we
want to had it and you know if you guys are on click funnels it's super easy to
go ahead and add you just go ahead and click on the Settings tab just copy and
paste your retargeting pixel from Facebook add it to there and then that's
done now there's two main ways that we use retargeting so the first one is to
drive potential customers back to our listing so we go ahead and we you know
set up a retargeting added within Facebook and we go ahead and drive them
back to our product listing now we usually don't drive facebook ads
straight to our listing but once people have seen you know they've been tower
bridge page you know they potentially seen our listing already they could have
left for a variety of reasons and we're just using this retargeting ad to kind
of remind them and get them back and let them know that they were about to
purchase the product or try to get them back to purchase the product so you know
here's some potential ad copy that you can use you know the life get in the way
we notice you forgot to take advantage of this deal click here to get 30% off
you know use coupon code 30 off now and they can just add your link and use like
a Google shortener or a bitly shortener link and then right below you can use
like limited quantities available or you can say offer expires in 48 hours and
you know this is it's super simple ad copy but guys simple is what works and
the second way that we use retargeting is to get customers to come back to
leave a review so you know we've set up a retargeting ads similar to the one
that we set up to get them to come back to our listing but this time we get them
to either leave a review or to leave feedback and I'll leave that up to you
guys to see which one you want to do but I usually Drive retargeting ads to leave
a review because if people are gonna be inclined to click on the ad they're most
likely gonna leave something positive and in my experience I've used I've
usually seen people leave more positive reviews than negative reviews it's like
ninety nine to one but anyways here's the potential ad copy that you can use
did you love XYZ product that you've recently purchased on Amazon will go
here and you know kind of add a link here and let us know what you think and
we'll go head and send you a coupon for 20% off
your next order now this isn't necessarily against the Terms of Service
because you know you're saying let us know what you think you can also put you
know like let us know your honest thoughts or something and we'll go ahead
and send you a coupon for 20% off I don't think 20% off is gonna be you
know it's Amazon so not gonna really say anything about it because I've seen
supplement companies say you know come leave a review and we'll give you a free
bottle next time and you know they've been selling on Amazon for a couple
months I see I've seen a couple of them selling for like a year or two on Amazon
they're still doing that and you know they're so up so Amazon hasn't been
cracking down on them and this company does like two to three hundred thousand
dollars per month in sales so you know I don't want to tell you guys what to do
and what not to do with your business but um you know this is a great way to
go ahead and generate some extra reviews you know incentivize people with the
coupon and you know most people will go ahead and leave the review if they see
your retargeting ad on Facebook and lastly I want to leave you guys all for
the bonus strategy now I buy a lot of things from Amazon and a lot of them are
from private label sellers and this is one thing that I see a lot of people not
doing and it literally only cost like $0.02 to $0.03 per product like an
additional cost and kind of like inside of your packaging include a little
product insert that collects emails and reviews or feedback now this is super
cheap because you know manufacturers in China can go ahead and print five
hundred thousand two thousand of these for just a couple of pennies and you
know it's definitely worth it because you generate reviews and you can also
generate email addresses now on the front side of what I like to do is get
them to leave their email address so a lot of the times you know what you can
do is to go ahead and ask for you know if people want to go ahead and get a
warranty for their product you know within the next twelve months if
anything happens if it breaks they can just go ahead and send you an email and
then you can go ahead and replace the product now this is not against Terms of
Service or anything like that asking for their email and this way because you're
asking them you know if they want a warranty for the product and think about
it if you get anything from like Sony or any of like their super big brands
they leave you a link to go ahead and sign up for warranty for their product
but this is just a smart way to go ahead and start capturing your customers email
address so that you can go ahead and build your audience and start
introducing them to your brand in another way and then on the back side
you can that you can get them to leave a review and basically just say what we
said in the follow-up emails you know we are a small family business and reviews
are the lifeblood of our business please don't forget to leave an honest review
on Amazon and you know Amazon's not gonna be cracking down on this they're
not gonna be opening your product inserts and checking everything to make
sure that it's all good and honestly you know if you say that we're a small
family business don't forget to leave an honest review and you don't say anything
about compensation you're gonna be more than okay I've done this for a couple of
my products and you know I've had no problems so far so this is definitely a
great way to collect email addresses and to get people to go ahead and leave you
a review for your product and that's basically it guys you know it's a super
simple strategy for the retargeting ads you can spend like five to ten dollars a
day per ad or just for both of them combined and you know only spend like
150 to 300 dollars per month but that also generates a great ROI for your
business because you're getting reviews and you know the more reviews you have
on Amazon the more sales you tend to get but you know if you're using a
combination of these or just a couple of these strategies you can expect for your
reviews to jump anywhere from five to twenty percent I'm depending on how well
that you do on this because I'm you know a lot of people talk about
differentiating your product but one of the best ways that you can go ahead and
differentiating your product is by providing a great like product
experience and having great customer service because you know online and on
the internet there's a lot of companies that you know they just go ahead they
sell the products and that's it they don't really care about customer support
or customer service but if you have great customer service and you actually
care about your customers people will see that and you know it'll make them
think twice about purchasing from somebody else and having a bad
experience and they'll come back to you whenever they need to purchase anything
within that niche and that's why we have a couple of more products that we can
offer our customers and you know we'll have done that research to know which
products they want so when people are looking for that
specific product they'll go ahead and come back for us
anyways guys that is it for today's lesson and I will see you guys in the
next one
