UMC:R Chapter 5: Compiling

A lazy first-person ‘journal entry’ chapter. Merry Christmas. There’ll probably be one more chapter before the prequel arc is done.

Uh, okay, testing. Test. Tes-tiiiing. Alright. Uh, this is Evan Abrams and it’s… May 18th. So it’s been a week since I, uh, ‘woke up’, and I think I’ve got my head wrapped around this whole situation. I’m recording this as a kind of way to, you know, make sure everything’s in order, that I’ve got my plans together, all that. Plus, if I suffer another, uh, memory loss or something, I want an easy summary on hand. I don’t want to have to spend another week playing catch-up with my own life.

So, to summarize, a week ago today I found myself in a bar in Arizona with no memory of how I got there. I eventually figured out that I’d basically erased about three months of my memory through some hideous DIY surgery. I’m still not sure exactly why I did this to myself, and I seem to have sanitized the notes I kept from those missing months to keep myself from figuring it out.

Shit, I’m not doing this very well. The big picture is, I apparently discovered that the… supernatural? Is real. That word sounds wrong for describing this type of thing. But there’s magic, and monsters, and people with special abilities… I have so many notes about all kinds of things, I’m honestly amazed by the sheer volume of data I was able to gather. I did it really well, too, really professional, I…

Okay, don’t get caught up in sucking your own dick, Evan. Oh yeah, that reminds me—sometime during the missing time I got really fucked up. Like, physically. My face looks like an old steak. Not sure how that happened. A few serious wounds on the rest of my body, too, but here’s the good news. Remember how I mentioned special powers? Apparently I’ve had one my whole life, but something ramped it up recently. I heal very quickly. The process leaves some serious scars, it seems, but the internal healing seems flawless. I have no residual pain from what I’m pretty sure are gunshot wounds. Even if it’s been three months, that shouldn’t be possible. I hit my head really bad a few days ago and minutes later there was no sign of any injury. No pain, no mark, no blood except what got in my hair. According to my notes, my body can recover from near-mortal injuries in hours, if not minutes. Apparently it ‘focuses’, if you can assign some kind of intent to a biological process, on making me functional and mobile as soon as possible, so it rushes the skin repair. Keep me from losing too much blood, prevent infection, make sure it doesn’t get worse. I guess it scars up so bad because of that, but I think that’s a fair price to pay for being extremely durable.

This all kinda brings me back around to what my plan is going forward. I really hit the weights hard these past few months and I’m fucking huge now. My pre-brain erasure self got into a pretty serious exercise routine—at least two hours a day. I was worried it’d be a pain in the ass, but my body seems to remember the movements. It feels good. I’m so strong now, and I’ve been doing yoga and a bunch of really tough stretches and, well, I feel amazing. I feel like I could be sexy. Except for the face, I mean. Oh, uh, and I checked, it didn’t heal old injuries, so no improvement below the belt. Oh well. Maybe there’s a possibility out there.

Okay… enough about that. I keep getting distracted. There’s just so much to take in. The reason I’ve been bulking up and did all this is because I decided to do something about… well, the intersection of the ‘normal’ world and this new one. Not go out hunting monsters or magic-users or whatever, but… just protect people who can’t defend themselves from things like that. Be an equalizing factor. Give people some protection from things they don’t even know they need protection from. Maybe keeping some of the bad things at bay will let things really improve for the world, you know?

But I can’t do that just by being buff and unkillable, though it certainly helps. I can’t help people just by throwing myself into this metaphorical meat grinder. So I somehow got my hands on something called The Book of Fate, which is the lynchpin to some kind of magic ritual that will make me, if my notes and the translations are correct, an “Agent of Karma”. Apparently the people who devised this thing—over literal millennia, mind you—believed that the universe, reality, everything, whatever, actually wants to be a just place, but it can’t directly intervene in its own self. Like how we can’t actually directly fight our own diseases, we have to trust in our body’s internal systems to deal with them. Anyway, these people believed that the moral arc of the universe actually does bend towards justice, and all this research, experimentation, and sacrifice they did was to give someone the power to actually do what needs done. To make sure good things happen to good people, bad things to bad people, mercy and justice metered out appropriately, all that jazz. Apparently it’s supposed to allow the… user? To develop great supernatural abilities as they act in accordance with “the will of the Universe” or something like that.

That sounds amazing and everything, but a lot of it’s pretty vague on the kind of powers you get or how you’ll even know what constitutes “the will of the Universe”. There are some mentions of being granted extraordinary senses or awareness, but again, vague. I don’t like the idea of playing judge, jury, and executioner… if I have to fight people or things to make things right, I’ll do it, but… just enough to handle the things that are outside of existing systems. I don’t want to make people think that society is obsolete and can’t protect them. I’ll just… you know, handle the things that the normal world isn’t equipped to handle.

God, I hope I don’t have to kill anyone.

Uh, anyway, one thing the research made clear is that I won’t have any difficulty finding trouble, at least. My earlier self wrote about a concept called an “entropy sink”, which is apparently what I’ll become in addition to being an “agent of Karma”. Apparently, by fighting bad shit I’ll be soaking up that entropy, that chaos and evil created by said bad shit, which in turn will make more bad shit tend to happen to me. That sounds miserable, but better it happens to the big strong guy with super-healing than to some poor kid playing in their back yard, right?

I’m not worried about that part. The more good I do, the more bad I find, but the stronger I get. Sounds like a fair deal to me.

So, uh… most of my ‘normal’ work has been automated by this point. My Amalgorithms (note to self, check on the progress on that trademark applications) seem to have been improved a bit recently, so past me wasn’t just focusing on the superhero stuff. They can probably handle any projects that come my way, but I think I’m going to stop putting out so many feelers for now. Might need to start working on the Blaccat project again, though; I may need to take some extra-legal measures sometime in the future, depending on which way this goes. I’m sure there will be times when I need some information that’s not, uh, public.

So I keep finding little hide-aways I apparently carved out of some of the empty spaces in the RV. I’ve found a couple of serious guns, a lot of ammo, and a lot of… pharmaceutical. I am committing so many felonies just by knowing about this car. But I apparently also built several, well, let’s call them tools. Like a suit of low-profile body armor I 3D-printed and wired together. I have no idea if that works or not and I’m not keen to find out, but the old me’s notes seem sound. I guess I’ll find out if somebody shoots me and I wind up with a wound full of weird plastic discs.

I think I’ve said all I need to say. Most of the ingredients for the Book’s ritual are gathered, and I’ve already rented a cabin out in the middle of nowhere to perform this thing. Apparently the moon needs to be a waxing crescent for this to work, so I’m going to have to wait a couple weeks to actually perform it, but I’m going to get everything set up in the meantime. The only thing I really have reservations about is that the ritual needs a ‘focus’, and it apparently has to be something with great emotional significance to me. The obvious answer is Mr. Nex, but… I don’t know if the focus survives the process. All the other ingredients get used up, apparently, but nothing says anything about the focus… do you think it’s what he’d want? If he was actually alive and knew all he would know about me, having been by my side my entire life? God, listen to me. I’m 27 years old and I’m having a crisis over a stuffed giraffe. But… I guess he wouldn’t be of great emotional significance if the thought of giving him up was easy. I’ll either figure something out or suck it up. There are greater things at stake here than my feelings.

God, I’m gonna have to kill someone, aren’t I.

Intro Podcast For Digital Currency Traders - Post on LumbridgeCity

Intro Podcast For Digital Currency Traders

Hello this is Douglas Lampi again from DigitalCurrencyTraders.com

And I have a question for you…

Are you currently trading bitcoin and cryptocurrencies for yourself? or have you thought about getting started with bitcoin or ethereum? or Are you interested in increasing your cryptocurrency trading results over the next 3 to 6 months?

If your answer is yes to one or more of these questions, then I have some good news for you.

More people are going to make more money and become financially independent, if not millionaires trading cryptocurrency in the next few years – than bitcoin produced in it’s entire history.

Fully 80% of those new millionaires will be people who buy – and hold – …the right cryptocurrencies… for just the next few years.

How to Choose The Right Digital Marketing Agency

email marketing best practices

Deciding to hire a digital marketing agency is easy.

The hard part is deciding which digital marketing agency to hire.

In today’s world, anyone with an internet connection can create a website and start offering services as an entrepreneur. The barriers to entry are slim to none.

Which… is what makes choosing the right digital marketing agency so tricky.

However, I know a few things that can help simplify the decision-making process. In this article, I cover what to look for, things to avoid, how to make the most of your digital marketing agency, and my top recommendations.

But first, let’s start at the beginning.

Know your goals and desired outcomes

Every business is different, as is every digital marketing agency.

Digital marketing agencies usually specialize in one or two areas. And while many of them are “full-service,” they typically prefer projects within their specialty.

So the first step in choosing the right digital marketing agency is understanding your goals and what you hope to achieve by working with one.

It may be easier to break this down into deliverables, the goal of those deliverables, and the outcome you hope to achieve. Knowing these things helps you communicate what you wish to get out of the project.

And when an agency knows what you’re looking for, they know whether they can actually help you without wasting anyone’s time.

Here are some examples to get your wheels turning.

Example #1:

Pretend you want to hire an agency to help you develop a content marketing system. You ultimately want a blog that continuously runs on autopilot with no work required by you.

Deliverable: a fully-managed content marketing plan, strategy, and system

Goal: attract more of the right visitors to your website with high-quality content

End result: a blog 100% managed by someone else

From there, you can start looking for companies that fit the bill because you know exactly what you’re looking for and how to communicate your desired outcomes.

Example #2:

Maybe you’re interested in creating a series of marketing videos you can use on social media and your website, but you don’t know how to do it or where to start.

You also want someone to coach you through the process.

Deliverable: a series of on-brand marketing videos and matching visual assets

Goal: communicate your new offer in a fun and engaging way for your audience

End result: a finished product and the know-how required to do it on your own

Now, you can actively look for digital marketing agencies that are willing to coach you through it. Coaching is more hands-on, so not all video marketing agencies can do this.

But because you know what you want, you can find the right fit for you.

Imagine the disappointment of hiring someone and realizing they can’t or won’t give you what you were really looking for.

This is why it’s essential to pinpoint your goals and desired outcomes before doing anything else.

7 characteristics that make a great digital marketing agency

Now you know what your goals and desired outcomes are. So, it’s time to talk about what makes excellent digital marketing agencies… great.

So, look for these characteristics as you go through the process of deciding who you want to work with. They’ll help you vet out top-notch service providers from those who say they’re the best without proof to back it up.

Let’s dive in!

1. A sizable portfolio and/or list of past clients

Smart digital marketing agencies are proud of who they work with and the work they do. Furthermore, they typically display their partnerships for the world to see.

You don’t necessarily have to know who their past clients are (bonus points if you do). But if you can’t find a list of previous clients or examples of their work, that may mean they haven’t worked with anyone.

Which… is fine if you’re on a budget. But not okay if you’re looking for the best of the best.

That said, some types of services aren’t easy to display, like content marketing and SEO. So, agencies specializing in those areas may not be able to showcase their work in a portfolio.

However, a client list is a good indication of their experience.

Note: with services like graphic design or website development, you should see a well-put-together showcase of the type of work they do. If you can’t find any examples, move on to a service provider with a portfolio that matches your expectations.

2. Experienced and specialized team members

Regardless of the type of services you’re after, it’s essential to make sure the agency you hire has the right team-members to suit your project.

For example, you wouldn’t hire someone to design a logo if they don’t have a graphic designer.

Look through their about page to see if they list their team members there.

And if not, LinkedIn is also a great place to look. Start by searching for the agency.

Then click “People” to see a list of everyone who works there.

Note: this typically won’t show you any freelancers or contractors they work with, so it’s not always 100% indicative of who’s on their team.

Furthermore, some of their team members may not be on Linkedin at all.

But this is an excellent place to start. You can always ask questions during your consultation if you aren’t sure.

3. Social proof and a strong industry reputation

Social proof, like testimonials and previous client reviews, can give you deep insight into what working with that agency is like.

Furthermore, smart marketers understand the importance of displaying social proof on their website. So, if you can’t find any, they may not have any previous clients, or they may not understand the industry as well as you’d like them to.

Besides positive reviews, negative or neutral reviews can also shine a light on areas that agency struggles with to get a clear understanding of their work.

Lastly, you can search for in-depth reviews on Google to see what others in the industry (and their past clients) say about their experiences with the agency.

4. Similar core values and company culture

Take a moment to revisit your company’s core values and culture.

Why? Because it’s crucial to work with a digital marketing agency that values the same things and operates in a similar environment.

Doing so ensures they mesh and work well with your team. Ultimately, an agency is an extension of your business. Choosing an agency with the right values and culture is just as important as considering the quality of their work.

The last thing you want is the stress of working with a group of people who don’t value the same things or operate in the same way.

Look at the words and phrases an agency uses to describe what they do. Does this align with your core values and the results you expect to see?

If not, move on to an agency that feels like a better fit.

5. A well-designed website

Your website is like a cozy entryway that makes the right people feel welcome.

The best digital marketers know how essential a well-designed website is. So, if they’re not executing internal projects well, why would you expect them to deliver something better for yours?

This is especially true if they offer website development or design services.

So, look through their website and listen to your instincts.

If it doesn’t feel right or appears low-quality, you’re better off moving on to an agency that values good design and delivering exceptional user experiences.

6. They don’t make outlandish promises

The type of results an agency promises on their website is a strong indication of how well they understand the industry.

For example, anyone claiming to fast track your way to the number one spot on Google doesn’t know that SEO is both a long-term and short-term marketing strategy. Or that it requires continuous work to maintain.

So, that’s probably not someone you should hire to help optimize your website.

Pay close attention to the claims and promises they make.

Make sure they align with what you know about the industry. And remember outlandish or seemingly impossible promises are a huge red flag.

Stick to digital marketing agencies that offer transparency and realistic promises.

7. And they’re easy to get in touch with

The best digital marketing agencies make it as easy as possible for potential clients to get in touch with them.

Navigating their website shouldn’t feel like a maze,

In a perfect world, their contact information isn’t more than one click away regardless of what page you’re on. And they provide a clear call to action, so you know what to do next.

Furthermore, your first step should be painfully clear. Do they want you to schedule a consultation? Maybe you’re supposed to fill out a contact form for more information or a custom quote.

If it isn’t obvious or you’re struggling to figure out how things work, consider choosing a digital marketing agency that simplifies the process.

How to work with a digital marketing agency

There are quite a few things you can do as a client to maximize your results and get the most out of your strategic partnership with a digital marketing agency.

Doing these things helps set the stage for effective and successful collaboration through every phase of the project.

Prepare your team and do your homework

It’s essential to have everyone on the same page. So, have a meeting with your team and let them know the extent of your new project or partnership with plenty of time to get ready for it.

If you owe the agency anything, be sure to spend time on it and do it well. They need to learn the ins and outs of your business, and this is your chance to put it all out on the table.

This sets the precedence for the rest of the project, so don’t rush to get it done.

Understand the scope, process, and timeline

Before the project starts, make sure every person with a stake in it agrees on the scope and timeline before moving forward. This is just as much your job as it is your agency’s.

Furthermore, most digital marketing projects go through these four phases:

Discovery and research

Project planning

Execution

Review, results, and offboarding

Layout the details of each step with your team and agency so everything is crystal clear before the project begins.

Don’t expect a hands-off experience

The best digital marketing projects are highly collaborative.

Furthermore, your input, thoughts, and ideas help move the project forward in the right direction to match your desired outcomes.

Some agencies and projects are more collaborative than others. So make sure you understand what they need from you throughout the entire project.

It may help to have a dedicated point of contact and a team or team member ready to manage the project. Having someone readily available helps ensure you’re not holding things up on your end.

Be ready to forfeit control

It’s important to remember that the agency you hired is excellent at what it does, and you hired them for a reason — their expertise.

This means giving them complete control over certain aspects of the project to let them do what they do best. It’s also important to listen to what they say.

If they have a reason for doing things a certain way, remind yourself they’re the experts.

You don’t necessarily have to agree, but it’s worth keeping an open mind.

Ask questions

If you’ve never worked with a digital marketing agency before, you will see and experience a lot of new things.

And it’s completely normal if you don’t understand everything that’s happening.

The best thing to do is ask questions.

Maybe you don’t know why they chose this color over that one. Or there’s a piece of data you don’t get. Perhaps someone said something that doesn’t make sense to you.

There’s nothing wrong with not knowing. However, asking about the things you’re unsure of is an excellent opportunity for everyone to learn more. It also helps clear up any uncertainties.

How to find the right digital marketing agency for you

There are countless “full-service” agencies offering every type of service you can imagine under one roof. Which… sounds great, but I don’t recommend hiring them.

Why? It makes more sense when you think about other industries.

Example #1: Would you rather hire a general contractor or a custom porch specialist to build a custom-fit back deck for your house? The specialist, right?

Example #2: Who do you see when you have specific medical issues that need attention? A specialist for that particular problem. Or you get referred to one by your general care physician.

The best digital marketing agencies excel at one or two things with their other services being add-ons or secondary options.

So, choose a niched digital marketing agency specializing in the types of services you’re looking for to get the best results and the most bang for your buck.

The 6 top digital marketing agencies

Now you know what to look for and how to choose the right digital marketing agency for your next project. To help you get started, these are my top agency recommendations for different types of projects.
