#also thank goodness for the existence of after effect tutorials on youtube

[lucdoodle]

YOUR WORK IS SO COOL!! I do have a question: as a novice artist myself, what do you use to make your animatics look so clean? What software do you use for drawing/editing, how do you upload it, etc. I’ve been trying to figure it out but am having a hard time. Could you explain it to me as if talking to a drooling baby ? Thank you sm 😂♥️

They look clean because i treat each frame as if they were lineart for a fanart (instead of considering them animatic frames(tm) where it would be okay for them to look a lot more rough)

i honestly don't recommend this approach ATRFFYHGJGJHHVGJ XD

Anyway here's how i make animatics!

first i make screen-sized rectangles with the lyrics on the bottom (depending on how i want the animatic to look like, i leave more rectangles for each lyric) (and if that's for a short ~25 seconds video, i don't bother writing the audio below the rectangles)

Then sketch out the ideas until im satisfied with the plan

dedicate a folder for each frame

draw the frames

then i upload all the frames + the audio into Adobe after effect (i have no idea how after effect works but i try my best XD)

then BAM ya got yourself an animatic!

How To Make Money With YouTube

YouTube has transformed video publication into a lucrative business and a powerful tool for promoting your business or service internationally. It has grown in popularity as the cost of high-quality video recording has decreased. 

Nowadays, all you need is a quality standalone camera or a nice smartphone to capture footage that rivals high-budget productions. It's all about originality and a compelling viewpoint for eliciting an emotional response from your potential audience.

The Establishment

Before you start seeing yourself as the next Danny Boyle, it's a good idea to consider the type of video you want to create. Are you wanting to earn money directly from your video, or are you looking to utilize it to promote engagement? Occasionally, it is common to do so for both of these reasons. The sort of material you publish on YouTube is determined by what and why you record and share. 

In terms of direct or indirect revenue generated by your video, it's obvious that the number of views and shares your video may generate is the metric of success. So, what causes virality? We can never truly anticipate what will happen, but we can make some educated predictions based on historical tendencies. Even if your video does not become a global sensation, you may still earn money from your camera and a little more money for your trouble.

The Distribution

Depending on the purpose of the video, you can generate interest by delivering information authoritatively in order to keep the audience informed or inquisitive, and by including other clips that connect to your subject as necessary. If you choose the lighthearted informal approach, it is critical that your video be both engaging and humorous while still being relevant to your line of business. 

To increase your watching statistics, use useful tutorials or 'how-to's delivered with a tongue-in-cheek tone. Humour is always an excellent perspective to take. There are several free video editing programs that may help you produce attractive visuals for your clip. Text sliders and integrated music are also easier to design and add than you would believe. A well-produced videoed viewpoint works effectively for direct sales or marketing. 

The road forward is short, acute, and swift. Bear in mind that internet viewers have a relatively limited attention span. You have the first eight seconds to captivate the viewer's attention. Begin with a bang and keep interested by removing any superfluous material.

Sell! Sell! Sell!

If you sell a product or service, it's worthwhile to collect client testimonials for inclusion on your website. It surpasses text testimonials in that anybody can create a fake one in a couple of seconds. This will not only improve your YouTube presence, but it will also provide material for your other endeavor - a video advertisement!

If you're launching a new product or service, you may create an instructional video to accompany it, therefore promoting both your business and your new device. Publishers and authors do this frequently. Provide valuable information on the issue to which your product relates. Inform your visitors on topics they don't know and then present your goods without being too pushy.

The $1 shaving club clip is still the gold standard for all trade-related YouTube videos. Michael Dubin achieved over 5 million views and massive volume sales of $1.00 shaving sticks for a total cost of $3,000 plus several unemployed staff employees. 

It demonstrates the power of imagination in spreading a message virally. He amassed a sizable watching audience, but achieving a 3% global sales conversion rate is nothing short of brilliance. Take a look at the Dollar Shave Club smash.

Create a humorous video ad displaying your business culture or a typical client experience as an excellent starting point. To convert one viewer into ten or twenty, showing footage of your bustling work environment, processing orders, or showcasing the advantages of your business would require entertainment or shock.

An excellent video is only effective if it elicits a single viewer's response or engagement. However, in order to go viral, the video must be humorous, provocative, or extremely instructive. What you want is for your audience to share your video on social media. That is the actual definition of a viral assault, which is disseminated by people who are infected. We'd suggest that traffic generated by controversy be left to experienced marketers or those looking for nothing more than a large number of visitors. It may have unfavorable consequences.

For people new to YouTube, it's generally best to just be yourself. Make certain to highlight your unique selling proposition. As alluring as it may be to hire a gorgeous blonde as your spokeswoman, this strategy almost always works against you; instead, get some genuine individuals in front of the camera and demonstrate to your consumers that you can be trusted. 

Successful films often include make-up artists, business trainers, eccentric shops, and amusing web ventures. On YouTube, music has also gained commercial exposure, and we are not talking about a major musician or record company. Dub FX was a dub performer making a few pounds on the streets of Camden and other comparable European cities. On YouTube, footage of his performance garnered millions of views, and let's just say he received his baptism at Glastonbury.

Click To Purchase

New media technology is not idle, particularly when it comes to generating direct sales through media engagement. Some people began the concept with product placement while watching a YouTube clip. Now, you may click on a highlighted object in a video to purchase the item using the click-through link. 

The setup is far less expensive than it was when the technology was in Beta a few years ago. For a monthly fee, you may have the software running in your £20 YouTube video. A smart method to set up a YouTube shop, in a nutshell, is to have a scrolling catalog with voice commentary and some intriguing content to keep the user engaged. 

Your material should pique the viewer's interest and maintain it. If it's fashion, discuss trends, suggestions, and styles, sprinkle in an occasional celebrity photo, and then exhibit your products. The same is true of services. You may include scrolling text that is clickable as you introduce your unique service. Order now, reserve your spot, and other call-to-action words can generate direct income for you.

AdSense And Ranking

YouTube is an excellent source of vitamins for your Google health. Your web presence may do wonders for surfer engagement and commerce thanks to search engines and web ranking. After uploading your video, don't forget to give it a title, description, and tags. 

After you've optimized your keywords and set phrases with accompanying descriptions, you're well on your way to receiving a spike in traffic from Google. If you use appropriate connections and spread the news via social media or your website, your video should get a few hundred views. Your video should begin to show on Google as a result of your key phrases. Click-throughs to websites receive a sizable portion of their traffic from video searches typically associated with YouTube. 

Page ranking on YouTube with the assistance of your video is therefore very important. Conduct research on how AdSense works to ensure that money generated from this source is reasonable and constant. YouTube will deposit payments into your Google AdSense account, and after you've completely registered in the program, you'll also be able to turn on Google advertisements to the side of or above your videos. 

This may earn additional revenue through pay per click and affiliate commissions, and all you have to do is maintain new video material and enjoy the earnings. Apart from direct payment, there are additional options to grow your YouTube reputation and generate additional money sources. 

If you're selling a few items on eBay or want to increase traffic to your revenue-generating blog, including a link to your site makes sense. You may approach other firms in your sector and offer to recommend their goods in your videos in exchange for a 5-10% commission over and above what YouTube pays you, or you can just get into an affiliate arrangement. By avoiding middlemen affiliate firms, you may keep 100% of your commission.

The Program for Partners

The Partner Program is when your films truly begin to earn you money. Once you become a partner, you may expect to earn between $2.50 and $5 (£1.56 and £3.13) for every 1,000 views of your video. While this may not sound like much at the moment, if you manage to produce the next viral phenomenon with millions of views, you can expect to earn a dot-com fortune for your efforts. Consider monetizing your video by selling scrolling text. 

A specific number of viewers suffices as proof of existence for a platform in which a linked business would be interested. Product placement and endorsements as part of the content are an effective way for paying advertising, large or small, to promote their business.

favorite open-source resources.

Currency of the Fans

Make your uploads one-of-a-kind and positively distinctive, and you're likely to amass a devoted following of admirers. Video marketing is not a get-rich-quick scheme, and it may be unexpected to some extent; patience and deliberate preparation should assist. 

It may be a lot of fun to create the films, and once they begin generating money for you, they are likely to continue earning money month after month. Feed your audience by introducing them to videos from others who have a link to yours. Once you've accumulated a library of 15 or more videos, you should be able to generate a reasonable amount of views for each video. Once all of your videos reach a minimum of 1,000 views, you can be confident that YouTube will contact you to ask whether you'd want to apply to become a Partner.

Uploading videos to YouTube is an extremely public act. As a result, you must be explicit about authorization and the restrictions of publishing a video. Take precautions and ensure that you have authorization where necessary to avoid discovering that your hard work was for naught. 

Situational footage in which you act as a witness with your video may be excluded in some instances, therefore it's a good idea to understand the limitations. Ascertain that your video does not violate the copyright of another party. Take a few moments to go over YouTube's terms of service. They are also there to safeguard your own good work from infringement by others; you'd need to know when your copyright interests have been violated as well. 

Consult YouTube's copyright guidelines and suggestions. Making money on YouTube offers more opportunities than we are accustomed to. It's entirely up to you to create engaging content and manage revenue once watching statistics begin to climb. It's an open field; let's begin filming.

Mother of three, daughter, sister, wife, public relations consultant, and entrepreneur

On most days, like many women, I appear to have to balance all of my duties. On other days, there are only three or four. This was the impetus for me to create Home For Business. I understand what it takes to be a working mother and how to run an internet business from home while juggling all of the 'pulls' of daily family life and work.

I've always been entrepreneurial, and in my 30s founded my first corporate communications firm, EMA Productions, working with large multinational customers such as Texaco and Rank & Boots. While it was difficult and time-consuming, it was immediately successful. Without family interruptions and with the backing of a wonderful team and office, I could focus only on obtaining contracts and satisfying customer demands.

There are hundreds of legitimate possibilities available to individuals, but many are unaware of where to begin.

Long Awaited Replies

Hello everyone! It’s been awhile since my last activity here. Stuff’s just got real last few months and I am now experiencing some heavy RLS which makes the future of the whole Feverfew project quite uncertain. I’m very annoyed by the fact I have to move the release date over and over again, but, fingers crossed, I’ll be able to manage to make it this year. But before I post any updates, I need to answer my inbox!

@landgraabsims​ said:

feverfew is absolutely gorgeous!! is it inspired by any real-life places or towns? i live in england and it reminds me of a few in-the-middle-of-nowhere villages i've visited c:

Thanks @landgraabsims​! Yes, Feverfew is based on British countryside aesthetics without any towns or villages in particular. It has a bit of everything, really. It’s a fantasy place after all. But I do use a lot of real life references for making landmarks for it.

any idea of the date of release for feverwood? just redownloaded sims 2 and im in loveee

Hey Anon! I’m glad you like it! I really hope to make it happen this year.

Hello Criquette! I don't have a challenge or a question or a request. I just wanted to tell you that I appreciate the things you've shared with us! I hope you're having a good day.

Hello Kristina! That is so sweet, thank you ^___^ I hope you’re doing fine too!

Hi there, Criquette. Been having fun with your Rural Charm set and the Better Lighting.  Ran into one small problem with the RC. One of the narrow curves picks up the texture from a road section with a crosswalk, so that looks a bit odd (30degree inner?).  And a question - is there a Better Lighting for the Iron Bracket street lamp with the seasons banner?  Thought the iron bracket would work, but it's not. Anywho, Thank You for ALL the work you put into making our hoods look fantastic!

Hey Anon! Thanks! Depending on the road DR you’re using, there can be some  texture issues here and there since Rural Charm is optimised for road texture without any markings (apart from the broken white line). As for the Iron light post with a banner – no. I’ve only made 2 Maxis’ base game lamp posts.

It's amazing how this one game embraces so many different types of players. I'm planning to create my very own nh from scratch, and I'd be a liar not to recognize how your game pics inspired me to the task (not to mention your ever impressive work of hood deco cc throughout these years). For all that, as much as I'm just another anon, thank you, sincerely. But that left me wondering: do you also/still play with the other ts2 game modes or they no longer interest you?

Oh, that is so kind, Anon. Thank you! Yes, I do love to actually play the game. I enjoy building/decorating lots as much as live mode. In fact, I often get carried away during playtest sessions and just keep playing in lot mode and that’s why there are lots like ‘The Tower Inn’ or ‘The Moose & Beaver’ or sims like Tilda Phidbach, WHT-FC28 servo and their field lab.

Criquette, do you know something about this project? thesims1master tumblr (the idea is to make the game look like the beta version. I ask, because I liked it so much, but I haven't been able to find the person behind it and I'm very curious to see more or download it, as well as his world, which I've been waiting for since last year lol)

Hey Anon! Oh, I don’t think I know anything about this project, no. But it looks rather interesting!

@forever-evenfall​ said:

Hey Criquette! I just downloaded your Lighting Remedy (because I only just realised I needed to change the txt file and not just download it lol) and when I placed your lighting text in the program files, the lighting itself worked, but the terrain itself was flashing red. Do you know what I did wrong? I literally don’t think I can play without the fix lol. I am using UC and I placed it in the Fun With Pets/SP9/TSData/Res/Lights folder. Should I have put it somewhere else?

Hello Eve! I might be wrong, but isn’t it Mansions & Gardens SP that stands for UC? Anyway, flashing red terrain is really weird consequence for just replacing a txt file. Neighborhood terrain doesn’t have any dynamic light. It has a light map instead which comes with Lighting remedy too. If you only just replace the lighting txt file without putting LR light map into your ‘Downloads’ folder, the only issue you should get would by unsynchronized light directions for hood decos and the terrain itself.

I'm having a problem: not all the decorations I put in the neighborhood are showing up in simulation mode, even with the fade off and the long-range vision on. I think there is some code that I need to add to the game files to make all the decorations appear. But I can't find how to do this: c Can you help me?

Hello Anon! Basically, there’s only one type of hood deco that isn’t showing up in lot mode and that is neighborhood effects. All the decals, flowers, fields, all the animated stuff (except for texture animation, e.g. Maxis’ marquee sign) is not showing up in lot mode. There’s nothing we can do about it. Yet. If you think that there’s a proper hood deco that isn’t showing up in lot mode, please PM me with some screenshots and we could try to sort it out.

Anonymous said:

Hello--Anon who asked about additional pieces for the Rural Charm set--I see now, thank you for explaining about the floating intersections.  Is there anything you recommend then, to add on to existing roads? Otherwise, thanks for taking the time to explain.

Hello Anon! Oh, you’re most welcome. There is a tedious way to replace a texture on the existing tile of the real road, to make in into intersection so that it would connect better visually with decorative road pieces. But that takes time. What you have to do is to determine the tile you want to edit using technique described in this tutorial and then you have to change the texture name in the corresponding line. The texture names for the intersections (their index name parts) can be found in any road DR beforehand.

@sunradersimblr​ said:

Hi, I'm just wondering if you've ever done hood deco of a highway rest stop like the type we see in the U.S. along interstates and state highways, just a green space, usually, with toilet facilities and a place for a picnic and parking lot? I need one for a story and thought I'd check with you. Thanks for all the great work you share! 

Hello Sunrader! That would be really nice addition for the highway set, but I haven’t made it. Thought it’s quite possible to make something similar if you use ‘One side exit piece’ from the motorway set and add some picnic tables, umbrellas and benches using street tables & benches set. There’s also many 4t2 deco conversions for toilets and other small size decos that would help to create a decent resting stop.

@nataliepop​ said:

Hi there Criquette! There's a new game called Townscaper which I think you'd like. The architecture has an English aesthetic and you build cities or towns but it all starts on an ocean. It's in early access, so I hope by the time it officially releases they add boats and piers. Look it up on Steam or Youtube. I saw it via someone who usually does Cities Skylines videos. Btw, have you ever played that? Also, apart from sims what else do you enjoy playing? Anyway, hope you are having a good day!

Hey Natpop! Thanks for a lovely game suggestion! I’ve checked it out and it looks really fun. Can’t say I’d play it though XD All my free time (which I don’t have atm) is reserved for simming hood deco making working on Feverfew ^^

hey~ i love all of your stuff, you're so talented (๑♡⌓♡๑) i wanted to ask, do you think you'll ever release feverfew's sc4 map? 

Thank you Anon! That’s very kind. I’m not sure if there’s any point in releasing SC4 map I used for Feverfew because it’s completely differs from the way it looks now. The road layout is different, there’s no canal, no islands on the river, hills are different, etc. It has been heavily terraformed and edited during development process. I’d recommend just to wait till the Feverfew neigborhood release.

Hi! Do you have any idea of when Feverfew will be released? :) 

Hey Anon! It will be released this year, hopefully!

Hello :D Is it possible to get your linden trees as lot objects in build/garden section? I love them and they beautify my neighborhood but could really use an option to select them on lots too :)

Hello Anon! Yes, that’s possible, though I can’t say if I could make it myself. What I can say though, is that there’s a linden trees redux coming soon. It would make linden trees look better and highly optimised so that it would only take 4,5 Mb instead of 60 Mb without any losses in texture quality and resolution.

This is a conversation topic that came up playing Overwatch last night; What if the Overwatch cast all has YouTube channels?

And while we voiced our opinions and debated to eachother, I feel the need to share all of my own takes as well.

Now, there’s 32 of these assholes so I’ll put it under the cut. Cause it’s long

Ana

Her channel is called “Grandma reacts”

Her viewers send her videos or shows to react to

She likes to have Jack, Gabe, Rein, and Torb on sometimes for some of the funnier videos

Hates daredevil compilations of people on high places with no safety gear

She swears at jump scares

Ashe

Daily vlogs

She calls her viewers part of the gang

BOB is the camera man and the crowd favorite

She mostly just likes to chat about nothing while wandering around the hide out

BOB makes really cool time lapses of them riding her bike down Route 66

Baptiste

Runs an advice channel

Mostly does Q&A live streams

Use to run a tutorial channel

Gabe called it “Dad Teaches you” and Jack hates that he’s not your father

Like Brigitte, runs a builder channel

It also doubles as a story time channel as he tends to ramble about the good old days

All his videos are 30+ minutes long

Bastion guest appears in a lot or Torb’s videos but only because he’s bored and wants attention

Tried to do a builder channel but all the comments were on how cute he is

Hates being called cute so he made his mech say swear words

He’s very popular with little boys

Zarya

Vlogs but like... Work out vlogs.

Bubbles-(Steve Rogers)

Pairing: Steve Rogers x Reader

Warnings: swearing, Steve being a teasing little shit? 

Word Count: 1.2k

Summary: Steve and (Y/N) share a flat, and all things considered, it’s a good arrangement. However, Steve often forgets to lock his door when he’s busy. 

A/N: Just a little thing I thought of after seeing that gif, and wow I really have no control because I just had to write something?? Please leave feedback, it’s greatly appreciated and I hope you guys enjoy xx

All things considered, Steve Rogers is a good flat-mate. He cleans the dishes after dinner, doesn’t bring strangers over too often, and most importantly, puts the toilet seat down every time. He’s never complained about storage space in the bathroom or the burn marks that keep appearing on the kitchen table from failed baking attempts. Steve doesn’t even care if one of his hoodies goes ‘missing’ every other week. However the man has one big fault. He often forgets to lock his door.

---

Steve’s groans and soft ‘damn-it’s’ are the background noises currently disturbing the YouTube tutorial on pumpkin pie I’m so desperately trying to make. The dough droops over the side of the tin and the filling’s colour doesn’t resemble the one of the screen in the slightest. Fly-aways stick to my sweaty forehead. My apron is covered in flour and egg, and soon will be complimented by Steve’s blood.

I look over my shoulder at Steve, who’s furiously tapping the buttons on his PS4 controller, which is comically small in his large hands. He’s been at the game for the last two hours with a steady stream of innocent swearing and shouting accompanying him to my annoyance, hindering the progress of tonight's experiment. If only I could actually hear what the chef was saying, then the pie would no doubt at least resemble his. 

“Jump, Bucky! To the right, the right!” Steve exclaims as his fingers work the buttons faster. The headset is also loud, which further irritates me. 

Don’t get me wrong. I have nothing against Steve playing his games, and I don’t tend to particularly care about the noise level either. But when I actually need to hear what’s being said, it’s more than annoying, and (just barely)more distracting than when he walks around with just a towel wrapped around his waist.

I contemplate telling him off, asking him to maybe keep it down so I can finally finish making this disaster of a fucking pie, or just straight up clubbing him with the rolling pin. But the pie is done now, and I don’t see the point in starting this argument that we’ve had countless times before. Living with your best friend isn’t all that it’s made out to be sometimes.

So, with gritted teeth, I place the tin in the pre-heated oven and throw my apron on the breakfast bar. 

“-no, I’m telling you it’s the top floor. Not the basement. That’s just silly.” Steve’s voice is tinged with irritation as he bites his lower lip to stop himself from exploding. That’s a habit of his when he’s nervous or dangerously close to loosing his cool. A habit that makes me very, very happy.

Ignoring him and his loud teammates that consist of his best friends Bucky and Sam, I go to my bedroom and crash on the bed to entertain myself until the pie is ready, and hopefully edible. I scroll through all forms of social media until I feel like time has ceased to exist and my eyes will begin to bleed any second, though in reality it’s probably been around 20 minutes. The pie should be ready, but my bladder comes first.

I walk across the hallway to the bathroom and tentatively knock on the door. Steve is the type of person who wouldn’t lock the door even if he lived with 20 other people, so I can never be too safe. There have been an abundance of incidents where I walked in on Steve peeing, or getting changed. It’s as if he’s physically incapable of sliding the lock into place. But, my eyes are very thankful for this trait he has. 

The apartment is strangely quiet, and I take that as an answer. Steve’s probably in his room, or maybe he went out with Bucky.

I open the door and walk in. My eyes immediately widen at the sight in front of me. 

Hiding underneath a mountain of pink bubbles is a very naked Steve, with closed eyes and earphones in his ears. He’s humming to himself and gently tapping the side of the tub to the beat of whatever song he’s listening to. 

Fuck. It’s as if my legs have frozen in place, they refuse to move out of the room. Over the last two years of living with him, I’ve seen Steve shirtless plenty, sure. I’ve seen him in the kitchen at 3am making pizza in his underwear. I’ve even seen his ass one Halloween when the firefighter costume Tony bought him wasn’t particularly fitting for his form. But this is a whole new level of intimacy even for us. He’s a sight for sore eyes, that’s for sure.

Steve’s eyes open and he lazily turns to look at me. His brows knit together in confusion as he takes one of the earphones out. 

“I’m capable of washing myself, you know.” He teases with a small grin.

That bastard. I try to come up with a witty comment, something to throw him off his high horse, but my mind draws blanks. Over and over, until I’m just standing in the doorway, wide eyed with an embarrassed blush adorning my cheeks.

Sure, Steve is Captain America, the righteous hero of this country. A noble gentleman who is the dictionary definition of good values and manners. But living with him opened my eyes to a new side of him that the public isn’t aware exists. The carefree, lighthearted and not-so-modest Steven Grant Rogers.

Taking a deep breath, I close my eyes for a brief second, and place my hand over my eyes so I can’t see him. Both in the hopes of clearing my head of his astoundingly good abs and so that he doesn’t think I’m creeping on him.

“S-sorry. I knocked b-but there there wasn’t an answer.” I choke out, mentally slapping myself. Is that really the best I can come up with? I’ve seen him in more compromising positions than this. So why on Earth is this effecting me so much?

Steve’s booming laugh snaps me out of my thoughts. It echoes around the steamed-up bathroom, and it takes every ounce of willpower I’ve got not to glare at him. 

“(Y/N) you don’t have to cover your eyes. I’m smothered by bubbles. ” His tone is teasing, dripping in affection with a hint of flirtation. Or maybe pity at my current blushing state.

If I didn’t know Steve Rogers the way I do, I’d assume he is indeed flirting. But that’s not Steve. He would never, especially not with his roommate.

I bite my lip and shake my head no. Almost too quickly. 

“Nope. I’m good, Cap.”

Once again he laughs, and it sounds like music to my ears.

“Well, are you just going to stand there and look all pretty? You might as well wash my back for me.”

Wait, did Steve just call me-the ear piercing screeching of the fire alarm echoes around the apartment. Fuck, my pie!

I sprint out of the bathroom with a crimson face as Steve yells after me. 

“The offer still stands, doll!”

[lettersandinkstains]

hi, sorry if this is annoying but i think i might be transgender (mtf) and i’m freaking out because i don’t know anything about how to transition or the identity and i was wonder if you have any advice or anything??? thanks a million

Anon, hello! You’re not being annoying at all! I’m sorry this is so late!! 

First things first, thank you for trusting me with this. And good for you for reaching out for answers! I’m not MtF, so my experiences are gonna be a little different but I’ll give you a run down of what I did, and list options for you and sorta just explain the identity. At the end, I’ll link the resources I can! Hopefully you’ll find this useful!

(Please be warned that this is going to be long ! Everything is itemized and broken down for hopefully an easy understanding and help!)

My Experience / What I Did

When I realized I was Definitely Not Cis, I was fairly into adulthood. She/Her pronouns made me want to die, but he/him felt like a puzzle piece that could fit, but not quite. 

I started talking to a therapist about it, and still continue to this day with talking to my new therapist about it. Over the course of the early sessions, I ended up being diagnosed with gender dysphoria, where there’s distress / discomfort between my assigned gender and my gender identity.

From there, on my old blog, I made a post asking for people to use ‘Silas’ and ‘they/them’ for my pronouns. And it just fit perfectly. I elated that I was being referred to correctly -- the pronouns and the name didn’t make me cringe and want to die.

That’s what I did.

What Is Transgender?

Transgender is the term for someone who does not identity as the gender they were assigned with at birth. They can be a trans man, a trans woman, non binary, genderfluid, etc.

The Steps To Take

Talk to a professional who is trained with and is supportive of the LGBTQIA+ community. While it’s not required per se, I very much recommend it. Talking to a professional is incredibly useful for many reasons:

You can get your thoughts and feelings out to a non biased party.

They can help navigate and help you figure out the steps to take.

It’s good to talk to someone! This person can become part of your support network!

Find a supportive community! There’s a thriving trans community on Tumblr, and elsewhere on the internet!

These people are the ones you can go to and talk and ask questions about being trans and transitioning. People’s experiences vary and everyone has different insight!

They will also be a support network for when you need it!

And it doesn’t always need to be online, you can search up local groups where you live, there should be something nearby. If not, that’s okay! Internet friends are real friends too!

I really love r/transpositive and r/asktransgender! Everyone on those two subreddits are so nice and incredible. r/lgbt is also really cool!

I don’t know any community blogs here on Tumblr since I follow only writeblr’s but someone is likely to know something.

I’ve also got an LGBT+ based writeblr discord if you wish to join a welcoming & incredible community! There are also non writing LGBTQIA+ discords! I’m in one for gaming, and r/lgbt’s mod’s run a discord as well called Spectrum. Highly recommend.

Play around with names & pronouns -- and you can also play around with styles too! You’re discovering yourself and your identity. Do what you feel is comfortable.

You can ask a close group of friends you know would be supportive of you to refer to you with she/her pronouns (or whatever pronouns you prefer!), and a name you would like to be called by!

It’s okay if you pick a name now and want to change it later! Names are an important part of your identity and you need to feel comfortable with it!

Dress in clothes that’s considered to be for women. You don’t have to do super femme if you don’t want to! Like, there is no wrong way to dress and present yourself! There’s butch, there’s femme, there’s an in between, etc.

After all, we don’t force cis women to dress super femme and model like (and doubt their gender identity and presentation), so we shouldn’t expect trans women to adhere to those standards either.

However there is nothing wrong with wanting to do! If that sundress makes you feel like a model, and make up makes you feel wonderful, go for it!! And if dressing in jeans, boots, and a t-shirt makes you feel happy, do that!! Dress in a style that makes you feel happy about yourself!

If anyone complains, punch them. Or Snip Snip.

HRT / Transitioning - Hormone Replacement Therapy. This is the act of taking hormones to develop secondary sex characteristics -- trans men take testosterone (T) and trans women take estrogen. Doctors will also sometimes prescribe another hormone to go with it.

If you decide to transition, estrogen will cause a development of breasts, softer skin, fat distribution will be more feminine, and you’ll also develop curves. Essentially, you’ll be going through the typical female puberty.

You don’t have to take hormones if you do not want to or are not ready yet! This is not a be all, end all situation! Take your time and do research on it and the effects it will have!

If anyone tells you that you have to take HRT to be a ~real trans person~, punch them. They have no right telling you what you should do with your body.

This also leads me back to point one: the professional will be able to help you figure this out and help be a support during the process.

Starting Transition

Depending on where you are and your age is what will be available to you.

Some countries do not allow those under the age of eighteen to transition. Some do with explicit parental consent. Be sure to research this as well.

I don’t know if this has changed since I was a youngin, but you would have typically needed a diagnosis if gender dysphoria* in order to get the doctor’s okay and prescription to start HRT. There are exceptions to everything.

This also may depend on local laws too, so check those out!

Depending on what you’re prescribed, you may take birth control, you may have to take shots, etc.

Where you get your hormones also largely depends on where you are too. Here in the United States, universities offer them at their on site clinics (mine does, anyways!), and some Planned Parenthood’s also prescribe hormones too! I can’t speak for other countries, and I wouldn’t even know where to begin looking for you.

HRT is also hella expensive in some places.

If you live in a country with universal health care, it shouldn’t be too much of a problem!

Coming Out -- Don’t come out unless you are ready & you are in a safe environment to do so!

This is basically LGBTQIA+ 101. If you are not safe to do so, do not do it. I know it sucks, but your safety is absolutely number one!

Everything is going to be okay. You are okay, there is nothing wrong with you.

There are certain groups of people who will tell you that your identity may be ~wrong~ or whatever arguments they can think of. Do your best to ignore them, and when you need to, vent to the people you trust.

Things To Check Out

YouTubers:uppercaseCHASE is a trans man who talks about trans issues and his own transition. He has an HRT 101 series that might be helpful! His expertise is FTM (Trans men) so there will be things that might not be as helpful. Educational videos, however!

arielle scarcella - while i do not like her very much and disagree with a lot of her beliefs, she’s a cis lesbian who has done videos in the past that’s educational about trans people -- and frequently has trans women on her channel where they talk about their experiences with HRT, as well as Gender Affirming Surgery if they’ve had it. (same goes for trans men!)

andrea chrysanthe is a trans woman who has documented her experience with transitioning and does life updates. She recently released a two part video that talks a lot about it. (warning: I haven’t watched all of her videos, and some look to be NSFW for at least talk of kink so be careful going in!)

melanie-ish is another trans woman youtuber! she talks about political issues as well as her own experience with transitioning and coming out. (warning: she hasn’t updated her channel in two years!)

PRINCESSJOULES is another trans woman who also documents her life as a trans woman! She also does make up tutorials, vlogging, and a lot of other things!

jammidodger is a trans man who talks about his experience with transitioning. he is by far one of my most favorite youtubers!

(if anyone else has any youtuber recommends, feel free to add on!)

trans resources -

leolines on etsy. they sell underwear for trans women -- a safer alternative to tucking. they also have binders! fairly inexpensive, and so many styles and designs!

the trevor project’s international center - the trevor project in general is absolutely amazing! they have a lot of resources on their website from phone numbers you can call if you’re feeling suicidal to groups and support groups! this link, if you are out of the united states and are looking for something, will give you a listing of international resources! 

transgender law center - legal services and advocacy for trans folks!

trans women of color collective - an advocacy group for trans women of color! they do a lot to help trans women of color! check them out, they’re super cool!

trans youth equality federation  - they provide support for family membes of trans youth, trans youth, and allies. as well as education!

gender spectrum - provides support for all trans youth, as well as education for families and educators!

I AM: trans people speak - a project that was made to raise awareness of about the diversity that exists within the transgender community.

glaad - resources - glaad is a well known organization for advocacy and education!

WHEW ANON that was a lot. Hopefully you made it through to the end, and hopefully it was helpful! I hope those links above help provide some use for you and figuring out what steps you want to take.

On that note, if anybody who has read this wants to add on, they are free to do so. The above is only advice, from one person whose experience is one of millions and still, different.

AND ANON, one more thing! If you wish to talk, you are so much welcome to DM me! They’re open for non mutuals :)!

Good luck on your journey, may it provide you happiness!

Experimentation in Game Development

The first Philosophical Point outlined in my team’s Game Design Document or GDD for short, which can be accessed here. Unlike the other two PP’s that follow after it, I feel like this one is the vaguest of the three. Video Games and its entire industry spans a wide variety of topics, subjects and ideas, and has a history that dates back to the earliest days of modern computing. In order to tackle this PP, I want to break it down into smaller, more refined talking points for easier specific research and digestion. To do this, let’s look at what was written in the group GDD in order to align my research with the rest of my team members:

We want to experiment with how games interact with their medium (such as PCs, Consoles, Phones, Controllers). As a group we believe that by playing around with these factors within our project’s scope, it can and will lead to a more engaging, memorable and worthwhile BCT project. Together we feel that games made at BCT should be ‘meta-breaking’ as opposed to ‘technical repaints’, while also retaining accepted aspects across the wider community (such as movement controls in FPS games on pc; using the ‘w,a,s,d’ keys or general good practice design).

From my understanding, my teammates want to experiment with methods of creating sustainable interaction with the medium outside conventional methods, in order to add an extra-meta element to the experience. Speaking meta, the term ‘meta-breaking’ is dropped here as an intended design goal for a game made by students of the BCT, as well as a statement that almost backtracks onto the first: retaining community convention.

In summary, that didn’t help at all. Thanks, James. Light-hearted passive-aggressive teasing aside, I digress. Perhaps instead we should focus on answering other questions, such as what makes a game a game? What kind of game do we want to design? What is the history of the kind of game we plan on creating? What is Meta? And is it altogether necessary to ‘meta-break’?

With these questions put forward, I can finally narrow it down more narrow topics of research: 

Meta

History

Questions and Occam’s Razor

Let’s begin, after the jump.

Meta

What is it?

“Meta” is a prefix meaning “referring to itself”. But that’s not all. It has evolved into a variety of meanings that are used today, but which one is relevant in the context of video games and video game design?

meta Adjective - pertaining to or noting a story, conversation, character, etc., that consciously references or comments upon its own subject or features, often in the form of parody:

A movie about making a movie is just so meta—especially when the actors criticize the acting. 

 Alternatively: 

Adjective - pertaining to or noting an abstract, high-level analysis or commentary, especially one that consciously references something of its own type.

There, pulled straight from dictionary.com(1), lies a couple of the meanings of the word meta, at least in the context of information as a medium. What makes something meta? Exactly as described, when the thing that exists amongst others of itself provides a commentary on being that thing. Hard to wrap your head around? 

From meta also exists Metatheory, described by Wikipedia as “a theory whose subject matter is some theory.” Wikipedia also states that “All fields of research share some meta-theory, regardless whether this is explicit or correct. In a more restricted and specific sense, in mathematics and mathematical logic, metatheory means a mathematical theory about another mathematical theory.”

They even cited a quote by Steven Hawking, from his book A Brief History of Time, as an example of a meta-theoretical statement: 

Any physical theory is always provisional, in the sense that it is only a hypothesis; you can never prove it. No matter how many times the results of experiments agree with some theory, you can never be sure that the next time the result will not contradict the theory. On the other hand, you can disprove a theory by finding even a single observation that disagrees with the predictions of the theory. (2)

If that doesn’t help to explain the nature of meta, it also exists in the landscape of video games, the Metagame. With Wikipedia once again acting as our faithful online source of definition, it is described as “any strategy, action or method used in a game which transcends a prescribed ruleset, uses external factors to affect the game, or goes beyond the supposed limits or environment set by the game... In simple terms, it is the use of out-of-game information or resources to affect one's in-game decisions.”(3)

The game of playing the game. How does one know what the best cards are for a certain style of deck in a Trading Card Game? Which are the best items for your character in a MOBA game? Which characters in an FPS Battle Arena game work together well to create a strong team composition? Excluding the meaning in relation to roleplaying and roleplaying games (aka “breaking character”), these are all examples of the metagame within games, another form of meta. Knowing what works best for a game because you know how that game works, or you’ve learned from other people who’ve done it for you.

That can be considered another form of meta, called Meta-Analysis. We can use an academic source for this one instead of Wikipedia, where the definition of meta-analysis is defined as “A subset of systematic reviews; a method for systematically combining pertinent qualitative and quantitative study data from several selected studies to develop a single conclusion that has greater statistical power.”(4) This can be abstracted as “Because a meta-analysis gathers data over a broader collective, allowing for larger and more diverse sample sizes and types of already pertinent evidence, its conclusion is statistically stronger than any single analysis.” Why is a meta-analysis useful? The website lists a few ways:

To establish statistical significance with studies that have conflicting results

To develop a more correct estimate of effect magnitude

To provide a more complex analysis of harms, safety data, and benefits

To examine subgroups with individual numbers that are not statistically significant (4)

Still confused? Don’t worry.

Let’s provide an example by backtracking through the History of Video Games as an Artform, starting with a wonderful meta-analysis theory YouTube video, here in my next post.

7 Essential Gadgets for New Normal

The pandemic has been with us for more than a year and we are still fighting an uphill battle against the virus. Even though there is a glimpse of hope with the latest development on the vaccine, it is still not a sure thing. There are still chances the vaccination will not achieve the desired result due to mutation on the virus, the effectiveness of the vaccine itself, or simply due to low acceptance because of doubt or fear among the general public. Therefore, it is better to accept that New Normal will continue to be part of our life for some foreseeable future. The good news is I have compiled a list of gadgets that will certainly help you adapt to New Normal easier and hopefully make it more enjoyable for everyone.

1. Facebook Portal TV

Due to school closure and work from home order, video conferencing apps like Zoom and Google Meet became indispensable. While many users rely on their smartphones, the experience can improve drastically if it is done on a bigger screen. Facebook Portal TV (Lazada, Shopee) allows you to do just that. Simply attach it to your existing TV and your virtual meeting/classroom will never be the same. It works independently from your phone, freeing your phone for other more important stuff. With a bigger screen, not only you can see more participants on the same screen, you will be sitting further from the device itself thus, participants can view more of you with the whole meeting room or if you are a teacher, the whole whiteboard. It also has some cool features like the camera can keep you in the frame even when you are moving around the room, enhances your voice while minimizing unwanted background noise, built-in Alexa, and comes with entertainment apps like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Spotify, and Pandora. It also has some cool AR effects to help you entertain your children even when you are far apart.

Video conferencing with Facebook Portal TV

While Facebook Portal TV sounds like the best option for virtual meeting/classroom, but it is designed to be used in a fixed location such as in the living room or a meeting room (for a company). If you prefer something more portable and yet bigger screen than your phone’s screen, tablets like the inexpensive Amazon Fire HD 8 tablets (Lazada, Shopee) may be more suitable for you. Other than using it for virtual meeting/classroom, it is perfect as a media consumption device. You can use it to watch your favorite movies or TV shows via apps such as Netflix and Youtube, play tons of free games, listen to music, or even browse the Internet. If you worry the kids spend too much time on the tablet, you can make use of the parental control feature.

3. Noise Cancelling Headphones

To be honest, not every home is ideal for the work-from-home concept especially when you have younger children. All the noises from children playing, TV and kitchen can be distracting. That’s why noise-canceling headphones can help you to concentrate better and be more productive at work. Headphones like Wyze Headphones (Lazada, Shopee) and VANKYO C751 Headphones (Lazada, Shopee) are comfortable to wear for long hours thanks to the soft memory foam, lightweight design, wireless connection, and long battery hour. Wyze Headphones even allows you to play songs using Alexa without the need to use your phone and you can engage in a conversation or listening to the outside world conveniently by covering the right earcup with your palm without taking off the headphones.

4. Multimedia Projector

There is nothing more blissful than watching your favorite blockbuster in a cinema after a hard day at work. Unfortunately going to the cinema is no longer an option during the pandemic because it is categorized as one of the high-risk places to contract the COVID-19 virus. The good news is the prices of Full HD multimedia projectors have dropped significantly over the years. So instead of putting yourself and your family members at risk by going to the cinema, you can simply bring the cinema home! A projector like ARMax M19 (Lazada, Shopee) can ideally project up to a 120″ screen and only cost a tiny fraction of a TV with comparable size. The picture quality, color reproduction, brightness, and contrast ratio are so good, making it watching movies on this projector extremely satisfying. If you get the Android version, you can simply enjoy it right away without the need for an external source. It also has a built-in speaker that is loud enough for general usage.

Another projector you can consider especially if you are on a tight budget is Cheerlux C9 projector. In my opinion, Cheerlux C9 is the best budget HD projector. At around half the price of ARMax M19, you will get almost everything the same as M19 with only a little bit of sacrifice on the native resolution and picture quality.

5. Streaming Media Player

The built-in Android OS in the ARMax M-19 projector is sufficient for most people. However, if the projector is not the smart version or if you want to use a specific ecosystem like Amazon or Roku, you can plug in the desired media player into the available HDMI port. These players are meant to stream contents from the Internet to your home so that you don’t have to go out and purchase a physical disk like DVD or Blu-Ray and expose yourself to COVID-19 infection. Even if you don’t have a fast Internet connection, you still can use it to play games or media locally.

If you are an Alexa or Amazon user, you can consider the popular Fire TV media players like the inexpensive Fire TV Stick (Lazada, Shopee) or Fire TV Stick Lite (Lazada, Shopee) or the more capable Fire TV Stick 4K (Lazada, Shopee) or Fire TV Cube (Lazada, Shopee). Fire TV devices are based on Android. That means if the apps that you want is not listed in the Amazon App Store, you still can sideload the app using the app’s APK file. It works most of the time. If it doesn’t work, that’s mean the app is incompatible with the device.

Another popular choice is Roku and it comes in a few flavors namely; Roku Express HD (Lazada, Shopee), Roku Premiere (Lazada, Shopee), Roku Streaming Stick+ (Lazada, Shopee), and Roku Ultra (Lazada, Shopee). You can choose any of these players depending on your needs and budget. Please refer to the comparison chart between all the Roku players. No matter what flavor you choose, you will surely enjoy the simple and straight forward interface.

If you are looking for the ultimate streaming media player, look no further than NVIDIA Shield Android TV Pro (Lazada, Shopee). Powered by the new NVIDIA Tegra X1+ chip and 3GB RAM, it delivers outstanding picture quality at 4K resolution, immersive Dolby Atmos audio, and play the most demanding games without breaking a sweat. There are many cool features packed into this player like Plex server, Gigabit Ethernet, dual-band AC Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, a really cool remote control with backlit button, voice control, Bluetooth, and lost remote locator, built-in Google Assistant, and Chromecast 4K. If you think this is overkill and you don’t really need so much storage or RAM and you don’t need any USB ports and Plex server, you can just get the cheaper the non-pro NVIDIA Shield Android TV (Lazada, Shopee) streaming media player.

6. Reusable Face Mask

You cannot just stay at home all the time. You still need to leave the safety of your home to buy food, groceries, and to get some fresh air to keep your mind and body healthy. For times like this, you need to practice proper safety measures like wearing a mask. However, the major problem with the disposable mask is that it creates waste and it’s becoming a serious problem to the environment. That’s why reusable masks like Xiaomi Smartmi Face Mask (Lazada, Shopee) and Xiaomi Purely Electric Mask (Lazada, Shopee) are recommended.

Xiaomi Purely Reusable Electric Fresh Air Mask

For Xiaomi Smartmi Face Mask, you can wear it for a few weeks and wash it in between before you change to a new one. It comes in 3 sizes with size S for kids, size M for women, and size L for men. The more advanced Xiaomi Purely Electric Mask comes with a battery-powered fan with 3 speeds. The battery is rechargeable and once it’s fully charged, it can be used for 4 to 8 hours. The fan unit can be removed so that you can wash the outer fabric and to replace the Xiaomi Purely Mask Filters (Lazada, Shopee).

7. Hair Clipper

Cutting hair at home to ensure safety of family members.

Other than cinema, hair salon or barbershop is another industry badly affected by the pandemic. Due to close proximity between the barber and the customer, the barbershop is also classified as one of the high-risk places for COVID-19 infection. Therefore, all barbershops are not allowed to operate during the MCO. Therefore the only way to cut your hair is to cut it yourself at home. Thankfully, cutting your own hair at home is quite simple with the help of hair clippers like Xiaomi Enchen Boost (Lazada, Shopee), Enchen Hummingbird (Lazada, Shopee), or Enchen Sharp3S (Lazada, Shopee). Here are a comparison table and review video to help you decide on which model is best suited for you.

Xiaomi Enchen Boost vs. Enchen Hummingbird

Xiaomi Enchen Sharp3S, is it better than Boost or Hummingbird?

You may refer to tutorials on Youtube on how to cut your own hair with these hair clippers or you can simply go bald. Remember, the goal here is to stay safe while remain comfortable at home. Since you will be stuck at home most of the time, nobody will know even if you mess up your haircut. Even if you did messed up your hair, don’t be sad because hair can grow back.

Conclusion

There you have it, 7 essential gadgets to help you get through New Normal. I hope you will find my recommendations useful and ease your struggle during these trying times. Until we beat the pandemic, I wish everyone stay safe and healthy. Together, we can beat it!

Free Stuff!

You like free stuff, right? Of course you do, and I'll give you some in a minute after we chat. You like free comic book day and free donuts and coffee while you wait for an oil-change. You like free samples at Costco, or a free ebook full of useful life-hacks like, "wake yourself up in the morning by soaking your contact lenses in coffee." If it's hot enough, the coffee will melt the contacts to your eyes, and that's a lot cheaper than Lasik surgery!

How about a free punch in the face? No? Boxers pay piles of money for that. They buy gloves, gym memberships, trainers, agents, steroids, and towels exclusively for sweat. They've paid a small fortune by the time they get a really good punch from a guy like Mike Tyson or Rocky Balboa. (Additional life hack: save on ear piercings by fighting Mike Tyson.) If they pay so much to get punched, why are you upset when someone punches you for free?

Still no? Because you don't like free stuff; you like certain things, and it's a nice bonus when they're free. Free beer is only nice if you like beer. You might think I need the Large Hadron Collider to split a hair that thin, but your relationship to "free stuff" changes when you start a business. If you want to meet your high-school biology teacher's standard of living (eating and breathing), you need marketing. That includes you, freelance artists, welcome to the glitz and glamour of owning a business and buying your own ramen noodles.

Marketing sucks. I'm just as annoyed as you when "social media marketing experts" follow me on Twitter with their inspirational quotes and their slick YouTube presentations, reminding you to be authentically authentic. "Thanks, I know it takes more muscles to frown than smile, but I'm not a lazy bastard!" Marketing makes me feel like Elizabeth Bathory, bathing in the blood of virgins. I don't want to be associated with creeps like the guy at the used car lot who only has a mustache so he can offer you a ride. "Ladies? Wink, wink!"

Even the jargon of marketing is dehumanizing and gross: target audience, market segment, and the holy grail, double-income no kids (DINK). Key performance indicators (KPI) help you analyze the ratio of Cost to Acquire Customers (CAC) and Customer Lifetime Value (CLTV) and reduce "churn" (customers leaving because they're sick of you talking about them like a fucking toaster).

It's unavoidable though, because you are that sleazy sales guy at the car lot... sort of. I'll assume you've had at least one job in your life. Did you feel dirty after selling yourself in the interview? Sure you embellished, because who doesn't want to hire a certified coffee grader? And how would they know? You can tell the difference between quality coffee and Starbucks. The gourmet coffee is named like a Senate bill, like HR61, not to be confused with the Securing the Assistance of Victims of Exploitation (SAVE) act; fitting in a discussion about coffee. Regardless, you sold yourself and your boss purchased your service. I assume you didn't resort to any awful sales tactics, like telling the interviewer, "and if you hire in the next thirty minutes, I'll throw in a free mustache ride!" Like it or not, sales is a necessity of modern life, like traffic, spam folders, or wondering how your uncle is still so racist in 2017. "No, uncle Steve, Jews did not invent jazz dancing, and stop offering my friends mustache rides."

But marketing isn't sales. Oh, look, the Large Hadron Collider! Bear with me. We don't watch Star Trek because it has robots and lasers. We watch because it tells us a story about who we are and the better selves we aspire to be. But we also wouldn't watch Star Trek if it didn't have any robots or lasers. Now that I'm a glitzy, ramen-eating business owner, sales is like that. I don't make comedy to sell books; I sell books, so I can make you laugh. It's an important distinction because I get caught up in my survival needs and forget they aren't in the driver's seat. You're the boss here, and I'm interviewing with you for the job of comedian. It's fair for you to decide I'm not right for you and I have to look elsewhere. But if we click, I hope you'll consider being my boss and also my friend.

You'll see on my resume that I quit a twenty-year software engineering career in late 2015. Most employers think I'm "overqualified", but I'm hoping you'll look past that. If my goal were to eat or to buy toys like Fitbits and vacuum shoes, then leaving tech was suicide. "Alexa, ruin my career." For me, comedy isn't about the money. I enjoyed software, but that didn't matter once I realized I was just asking my boss, "you want fries with that?" Maybe I was more skilled than the next man-shaped-cog, but when I left nobody stopped selling their cars, high-rise condos, or Bluetooth hairbrushes (fad hair day). The world didn't notice me leave any more than you notice turnover at your local Arby's. I left to make the things that burn in my soul, that keep me up at night, and that wouldn't exist if I didn't make them.

Seth Godin is right that artists need to create a purple cow (something that wouldn't exist without us). You'll never beat the industrial machine at their game. There's always a Mr Burns with a giant, faceless corporation that exploits third-world toddlers because their tiny hands and boundless energy will sew those shirts faster and cheaper (just like Santa's elves). WalMart runs real sweat shops right here in America.

After family and friends, your work should be the most meaningful thing in your life, but meaningful work has to sustain you and the purple cow won't keep you in ramen on its own. You have to market it. I've seen lots of purple cows that languish in obscurity. My friend Chris makes a webcomic called Puck, but he's said on numerous occasions that you can't earn a living with one. I think I can prove him wrong, and I think Brad Guigar, Russell Nohelty, and Tyler James already have. They earn their living making books and comics and helping others do the same (including me). Not to mention the many other creators I see earning decent livings with just the support of patrons.

So to maintain my family's ramen supply, I need to learn marketing, and then shower to get the stink off. Every time I see a blog from someone who's obviously successful, they're using tactics that make my skin crawl! "Here watch my twenty-minute prerecorded marketing tutorial and when it's over buy a subscription to my exclusive marketing club that's ONLY three-hundred dollars! But only for the next TWENTY MINUTES! HURRY! CLOCK'S TICKING, ASSHOLE! GIVE ME YOUR $300! NOW!! NOW!!!! NOW!!!!!! After twenty minutes, it goes back up to $400!" I want you to know before I say this, that I am incredibly grateful for Tyler James, who's given me a ton of great information about reaching my goals FOR FREE. Having said that, Tyler James is a dillhole. I love him and I'm super-grateful for everything that dillhole's done.

== Frustrated Rant Mode Engaged ==

Tyler: I realize somebody ponied up a bazillion dollars for your Harvard Masters, but my wife and I are below poverty (a family of 5 on $24k/yr) for the last two years now while I work this shit out. We literally paid every penny we had in the world to buy our house, and that was less than a quarter of that paper for your wall. It has nothing to do with me not wanting to support you that I can't whip-out $300 in twenty minutes. You've helped me, I think you deserve recognition, respect, gratitude and even testimonials and help from me. But even one-hundred dollars might mean not having power or Internet this month, and it'd be nice if you didn't rub it in my fucking face.

I feel guilty buying a sandwich at Arby's because the money could go toward advertising, despite knowing most of it has to be spent on food (I know Arby's isn't technically food). The silver lining is that we own our house, but after four years and two repair jobs, we still have a small leak in our basement. I personally dug a pit on the side of the house for weeks to save some money on it. (It's a real no-money pit.) And that's not even mentioning walking twenty-miles uphill both ways in the snow. Christmas is in a few days and I anguished this year over buying each of my kids ten dollars worth of used comics at Half Price Books. (They're still my kids at 16 to 22.) At least Tiny Tim hasn't lost his spirit!

So no, twenty minutes for a 25% discount on a $400 membership isn't "a great deal!" It's a slap in the face. And most of us who are trying to earn our living with comics (your "target market") are in my situation, not yours. If you'd offered me a payment plan, like I could layaway it for $50/mo, I likely would have bought it without the high-pressure tactics and told my Patrons I was spending their pledges on that instead of advertising for 6-8 months.

== Frustrated Rant Mode Terminated ==

EDIT: I want everyone to know Tyler James is a super stand-up guy! I had a brief discussion with him recently, he read this blog, and was super-chill about the roast and being called a dillhole for comedic effect. He also informed me of a related note, and I want you to know I had no influence on this, this was his plan before we talked. Tyler said:

"It's funny though... this year I am switching my courses payment structure to a monthly membership model in order to open all of my premium programs up to creators at all income levels. Price should not be a reason not to join."

He also informed me rather matter-of-factly, that I didn't have all the facts regarding his Harvard Degree. He got a special scholarship to attend Harvard in recognition of two years teaching in one of the country's most underfunded school districts. Thanks for filling me in on that, Tyler, I appreciate it!

So if you haven't met Tyler, I definitely recommend you do.

I'll be transparent here and share how my budget works, so you understand why I stay in the sleazy motel room that is marketing, (it smells of smoke and piss and god knows what happened to the toilet, but you're stuck there because of a mustache-riding convention in town). Webcomics used to support themselves with ads like network TV. That ended in 2013 when marketing peeps said "WE WANT MOAR POPUPS!" and the Internet responded with a Grumpy Cat meme in the form of a massive spike in ad-blocking technology. Woohooligan has one ad, which nets me about $1.50 per month, (twelve minutes at minimum wage). I'd earn more in an hour busking in the street like Amanda Palmer, doing stand-up comedy for tips. (See my one man show on the corner of 5th and Main titled, "No Really, I'm a Homeowner!") Most webcomics moved to Patreon for the bulk of their support, which is really online busking. Remember, before this I billed $80/hr, so I'm not doing this for money.

Why busk? Why not sell books? I currently have one print book and three ebooks in the Woohooligan store, and comic ebooks only really sell for a dollar. I love the sixty-five cents I see from that dollar after credit-card fees. You can read every page of my site and see a boat-load of ads, and the ad network (Google, etc.) pays me maybe a penny. So if you pledge just one dollar to my Patreon each month, the $0.65 I see increases your support of my work by more than a hundred-fold what I earn from ads. If we still want ramen, I need about $2,000 each month to replace my current disability income. So with a net $0.65 from each book, I need to sell 3,076 books per month, 103 per day, or one every fifteen minutes. I don't expect that, so those dollar ebooks alone will likely never support us. I've got to find other ways to supplement our income either with patron support, or by selling more expensive items like print books.

Yes, I left $80/hr to have a current monthly take-home (~$65) that's about what I'd earn in a single day at minimum wage. I didn't leave for money. You'd think I could work tech part-time, but no. My disability is thanks to an autism diagnosis in 2007. Because of that, work that I enjoy overtakes me like a Jeckyl and Hyde situation. Doctors call this blurse hyperfocus. I really never stopped working except for meals and sleep. That's not quite true, most days I didn't eat. People standing in the same room often call my name four to six times before rousing me from the fugue state that is me working. I lurch out of it like a trauma victim with a thousand-yard stare, groggy and irritated, unable to answer simple questions like "did you take your insulin?" Go away! Distraction bad! So I can't program part-time to supplement my income. The career I chose has to work, so I have to make marketing part of my comedy... I just threw up in my mouth a little.

I read all the marketing books and blogs I can. Most of the "information" in them is brain-dead stupid, useless to you personally, or both. You search Google and you find "10 Ways to Drive Traffic to Your Website." Great! Just what I need. The article begins, "Step 1: Make good content." Mind = blown! Why? You don't! Before this Einstein, I just had photos of used napkins. Hell, Twitter was nothing but lunch photos the first year. Thirty million tweets so I know you're not racked with guilt like me when you have an Arby's quarter-ton Beefenator. I can't wait to see step 2, "tell people", and step 3, "don't accidentally delete your website."

Getting back to free stuff, it's a truism in modern culture that if you're starting a business, you have to give people something they want for free. Professionals give people free consultations. Facebook and Twitter give us free accounts to share fake news and real cat videos with our friends. PornHub gives us free porn, but did you know they also give us free sex ed and free snow plowing in Boston? (Or they didn't, but it made you laugh, if only because "plow" is a double-entendre.)

I like giving people free things - free comics, free advice, free promotion. I certainly benefit from free things like Tyler James' ComixLaunch podcast or Russell Nohelty's Business of Art and Facebook group. (Russell just launched a new site, The Complete Creative.) They were more helpful than things I paid for. I bought a four-star marketing book on Amazon, it should be good, right? I'll save you twenty bucks; have a mailing list. Nothing else in 288 pages is what experts call "actionable", just shit you can read on any marketing blog like, "don't piss people off because Twitter." What would have been helpful is how to get signups on a mailing list, but that's like Baptist churches who asked PornHub to plow their back lot. The bar for marketing advice is so low, if your grandfather started a marketing blog tomorrow, he'd be Arby's VP of marketing in a week, and his number one tip for online success would be, "get off my lawn!" (There's no wi-fi there.) If you are a creative person and you'd like a book with some useful advice, here's my review of Russell Nohelty's Sell Your Soul.

But all these things we get for free aren't actually free, someone pays for all of them. Facebook and Twitter are funded by advertising. We don't consume their product, we ARE the product (and their execs talk about us like toasters). But that's not the only cost. On broadcast TV, Arby's hoped fans of Mister Ed liked sandwiches. Now that we have Internet, we know about the horse meat, and Arby's knows loads of creepy things about us, like whether we use coupons or carry a balance on our credit cards. Arby's pays more for Beefenator ads on Facebook because we're selling them our privacy. And as Adam Conover points out, you can opt out of Facebook, but good luck avoiding Google.

Shit like this is good reason to hate marketers because it's intrusive, impersonal, and manipulative. It's the reason I personally hate having to learn marketing. It's like an episode of the Twilight Zone where Disney World lets you into the park for free, but requires their guy Steve follow you throughout the park, scribbling notes and recommending giftshop items, Arby's Beefenator, and the Mustache ride. So yay, free Disney! Until you come back from the bathroom and Steve tells your mom the gift-shop has Pepto-Bismol. Thanks, Steve, it's nice to know you've got my back.

Since I don't have a choice but learn this stuff, I try to be decent about it. I choose to think of you as friends instead of a "target audience". I'm a real person on Facebook and Twitter (no bots, autoresponders or apps congratulating people for being my "top engaged followers"). I like chatting with you, without obsessing over your "engagement". (The word engagement should be reserved for situations involving a ring or enemy combatants.) I don't expect you to be in a fugue state waiting for my next tweet; fugue states are my job. I give mailing list subscribers a free copy of my first ebook, (signup below), though I'm not good about telling people that because I'm annoyed by promises of "must have tips for success" only after their mailing list signup. And I treat everyone the same, without stopping to ask, "is this person an influencer?"

I recently started introducing myself to people on social media. When someone sends me a friend request on Facebook or follows me on Twitter, I send them a brief message like this:

Hi Steve!

Thanks for the follow and for recommending the Mustache ride.

Let me know if I can help with any of your projects.

You may enjoy my new comedy manifesto, Laughter Is a Moral Imperative http://woohooligancomics.tumblr.com/manifesto

It's copied and pasted, but it's not an autoresponder. I tell webcomic creators that I also review webcomics. After I published the manifesto last month, I rifled my recent direct messages and shared it with as many people as I could. It's the pushiest thing I've done, but again, that article is totally free, it doesn't even link directly to anything I sell. I just think it can improve people's lives.

I've always enjoyed helping people. A drawing class at summer camp, unpaid articles for software journals, problem solving on mailing lists, being an Adobe Community Expert, sharing resources for managing depression. And I mentioned I also review webcomics, and write other articles to help creators, like Six Tips to Kickstarter Success, Six Ways to Earn More Commissions, and Six Reasons I Didn't Spell These Titles With Numerals. These are all free, just to help you out.

On a more philosophical note, we say the best things in life are free, but we often take the most important for granted, like privacy (see Facebook) and freedom of speech. Critics of the government in China and Russia are often jailed, beaten, or killed. If you're reading this in China or Russia, first let me congratulate you for getting past the censors (they never like my dick jokes). Second I will always fight for freedom of OMG look out behind you!

When I published a Je Suis Charlie cartoon in 2015, I was shocked how many people seemed confused about the importance of freedom of speech, as I mentioned online and in my first book. How often do you hear about the Freedom of Information Act, that helps protect our freedom of speech and uncovers a lot of great stuff like the FBI's hilariously out-of-touch Twitter slang dictionary?

Free hugs are... not always cool now that I think about it. Not from Steve the mustache guy. It reminds me that my dislike of ShamWow commercials can't be compared to old-world gatekeepers like Weinstein that you had to suck-up to because they controlled the purse-strings. Sorry to get serious on you, it's just an important subject that's on my mind, and I'll talk more about it with the next few pages of my Hellbent story. And speaking of freedom, I think the marketplace of ideas and crowdsourcing services like Kickstarter and Patreon are helping create a more open world with fewer of those sleazy gatekeepers, so it's good to see net neutrality is a freedom we rally around.

Finally there's time. There's no such thing as "free time", which implies what? "Lets hang out! Can't, I've got prison nine-to-five." You sholdn't think of your work that way. Self care is important, and the better part of self-care is creating a life you're not desperate to escape from, into a bubble-bath and a bottle of Chardonnay (or in our circles, Netflix, Jack Daniels, and a gallon of Häagen-Dazs Rocky Road). Nobody on their deathbed ever said, "I wish I had spent more time at the office", but do you think you'll say, "I wish I'd spent more me-time, chugging booze in the tub?"

Losses can be recouped, but there's no getting back the two hours you spent watching the Mario Brothers movie. (A brightly colored, whimsical game as imagined by the creators of Rain Man and the Killing Fields? Was Clive Barker unavailable?!) We have to make the most of our limited time to contribute to the world. I've made comedy for eleven years, but I didn't finally give up tech until I had cancer on my birthday two years ago. That was the second near-death experience on my birthday, following diabetes in 2013. I realized my best self wasn't the man-shaped cog asking people if they wanted fries with their website. Who knows what the next life-threatening birthday illness will inspire. Maybe I'll run for President, I hear the bar is pretty low. :P

I think any creative person will tell you, there are times when you feel frustrated by the cost of striving toward your better self. Times when I remember that none of my work has ever gone viral (not enough salt?) and the thousands of hours of comedy I've made feel unloved. While I know it's not a helpful emotion, I feel a little bitter about the effort it takes to get a handful of people to spend two minutes enjoying a comic strip I spent two days making for them. Because all this free entertainment we enjoy (and I'm not just talking about my work), is paid for with the precious time of the cartoonists and comedians who create it for us, and that's far more important than the money I've spent on advertising. That's why I share other creators' work as often as I can, because I can't afford to buy all their books, but I can tell them I appreciate them, and give them a little signal boost, or a little advice on their Kickstarter.

One day I'm thinking about how I avoid writing clickbait, but that it might get me that viral piece I've never had, if I could just roofie my principles for two damn minutes. And then I'm in a flame war with another artist because I used to post voting incentives on TopWebComics, and he says it's sleazy to put your work behind a pay wall or a voting screen. Well of course! No one pays to see Batman, or the Avengers, or Calvin and Hobbes, right?! It's totally unreasonable to expect two seconds of help from someone who enjoyed sixteen hours of my work for free. And we wonder why people don't value artists when some of us are so eager to devalue ourselves. I know I should have ignored him, but I couldn't let it go.

And then some goat sucker calls my comic work clickbait in the comments on my site while claiming he's trying to help. My first instinct is to release the Kraken, but I remember all the times I've shot myself in the foot that way and I try to calmly diffuse the situation. But he's like the squirrel in Ice Age and WON'T. LET. IT. GO. like it's the a sign of the end times that I don't take advice from an anonymous heckler like he's Spielberg. So I write another piece in frustration that becomes some of my best work and that's frustrating because I don't want an angry-ranter reputation.

When I'm feeling bitter about work and trying to avoid the stink of marketing, I remind myself that as expensive as my work is, it's a bargain compared to my previous career that only paid money. In 2007 I was a man-shaped cog that helped sell x number of cars (with or without fries). It's immeasurably more meaningful to write manifestos and essays like this, knowing that it will make lives better for friends like you. I can only say that because I choose to think of you as friends, not as a "target market" with a "cost to acquire" and a "lifetime value". I remind myself that I have no idea what my best work will be or who it will help. We shouldn't forget the best "free stuff" is ourselves. We're free to choose because we can never know the final destination.

So if you see me hawking books or promoting our Patreon, and you have that "eww, get away from me, pushy salesperson" reaction (like I do), please remember that I'm not out there giving people free comedy every day and helping other creators because I'm trying to sell books or get pledges. I'm trying to get pledges and sell books, so that I can keep laughing it forward, making people's lives better with more "free" comedy. I'm telling people about the free book on our mailing list to get more friends involved in our mission to bring laughter to the world.

I hope you'll consider being my boss and my friend, because there's nothing in the world I'd rather do than work for you. It’s a lot of work. It would be a lot easier for me to just focus on my books. But like I said, selling books chock-full o’ dick jokes is a side-effect.

I work in the service industry.

Now if my free stuff isn't your thing, I hope you do find what you're looking for.

Thank you for sharing yourself with us!

- Sam

P.S. If you believe that laughter is a moral imperative, get my first book for free, and share it with your friends!

Content Samurai Review [Is It Worth The Hype?]

Videos are quickly becoming essential in the campaigns to boost internet traffic. Reason? Video content is easy to consume, fast in conveying a message, and naturally engaging. When it comes to earning the trust of your targeted audience, this form of content takes the lead.

But video creation is often a complicated process. If you lack the necessary skills, it can mean having to hire an expert for hundreds (or even thousands) of dollars. And that’s besides spending a lot of your precious time scouting for a videographer.

How can you make the process less demanding? The answer is, by using the right video creation software.

Video creation tools help you to produce internet-ready videos- easily and within no time. There are several such software today, each with own level of usability and effectiveness. One of them- and which stands out from the others- is Content Samurai.

What makes the platform better than other similar ones? And, is the tool worth considering for your marketing videos? This Content Samurai review looks into that in detail and helps you make the important decision.

What is Content Samurai?

It’s a video creation platform. The software is web-based, which means everything regarding its use happens entirely online. There are no downloads or installations to take care of, and no upgrades to worry about. You also don’t need any video creation or editing experience to use Content Samurai, which is a plus for beginners.

Content Samurai comes from a well-known software company, Noble Samurai. They’re the same people who brought you other marketing tools such as Market Samurai, Domain Samurai, and other great applications. Since its first appearance in 2015, the CS platform has helped many online entrepreneurs boost organic traffic and increase conversions. And all that without them spending huge amounts of money on hiring expert videographers.

Before we delve into the features of this tool and how to use them, let’s have a look at video marketing benefits.

Why Video Content?

It’s not without reason that businesses, website owners, and internet marketers are considering videos today more than ever. To help you figure out why, here are video content facts and stats:

About a third of web browsing activities are video watching

YouTube registers more than 1.5 billion visitors monthly, and 1 billion video watch hours every day

72% of internet users prefer video over text when it comes to finding out more about a product

A call to action is 95% more likely to stick to a users mind when included in a video than when in text form

Websites that contain videos have been shown to retain users for 88% more time

Marketers who use video net 66% more leads annually than those who don’t

As you can see, content that’s accompanied by a clip to watch stands a higher chance of attracting traffic than one that doesn’t. Video is loved by both the internet user and search engine, and can significantly boost your SEO tasks.

That said, making a professional video is often the problem. You may be camera shy, or you may be lacking the required skills. Still, some video creation tools are too complicated and difficult to use. That’s where Content Samurai comes in.

How does the software help to make the task make videos easy, fast, and less costly? Let’s see.

A Look Inside Content Samurai

The platform is real simple to use, with a straightforward interface. Here are the features and steps when using the CS software.

The moment you log onto the platform, you find yourself on the welcome page. From here, you can click the button that allows you to start using the app. That moves you to a page that has the “create video” button.

Clicking the button opens up a window where you can select the preferred template. There are over 40 different styles to choose from which is quite a variety. Then you get to choose the video type you want to produce. There are 4 video options; article, course, sales, social media, and real estate.

After that, the system prompts you to name your project and write its script. If you have the content ready, you can paste it on the platform. It’s good to ensure that you include target keywords in the video title; it helps with boosting SEO. And if you’re planning to use the platform’s speech synthesizer, that the script consists of complete sentences for natural voice output.

There’s also the feature that lets you choose slide structure. You can have the software make a single slide for each sentence, paragraph, or even phrase. You can also opt for automation where Content Samurai chooses the slide structure for you. If you’re a beginner, you may want to use this feature. The good thing is that you can always change the structure later if you don’t find it appealing.

Another feature lets you upload your video clip. It can be from any device; a digital camera, tablet, or smartphone. The platform also gives you access to a vast database of videos and images. They’re royalty-free, and you can browse to select the right one for your content. If you do not have the time for that, Content Samurai can do it for you. It does that by scanning your script, determining its context, and finding the most suitable image or video clip to use.

There’s also the option to add a soundtrack to your new video. For that, you have four choices. You can use your recorded voice, upload your preferred soundtrack, or choose from the platform’s database of free music tracks. Alternatively, you can choose to use speech synthesis technology that offers you up to 14 different accents.

Then, hit the generate video button.

The last step to create your marketing video is where you preview the generated clip to make the necessary edits. These can be slide transitions, text animation, and other changes. To use the videos you’ve created, you need to download them to your device (it’s the best way since it gives you more control and access). After that, you can upload the video clips to YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook, website, or any other place of choice.

Note that all of your videos remain on the platform’s storage ready for additional edits- that’s, if the need to do so arises. That can be when you have observed user behavior and identified the parts that need to be adjusted.

What Videos Can You Make With Content Samurai?

They can be many types, from sales pages, content, share, to welcome and thank you videos. You can also use the platform to produce course videos if you’re an online trainer. The list of video types that you can make with this tool is almost endless. You only need to identify the audience and the message that you hope to put across. Once you classify your content according to the available options, the software takes care of the rest.

The Pricing

Content Samurai is a subscription platform where you get to choose between monthly and yearly payments. The two options are; $47 every month, or

$ 397 per year

You can also choose to test the waters first and sign up for the trial period that goes for 7 days. The free trial option gives you access to all the capabilities of the platform, and you can edit as many videos as you wish. I would recommend this option if it’s your first time to use the platform. Afterward, you can choose the membership to subscribe to if satisfied with the software abilities and usability.

What I like About Content Samurai

I would recommend this video creation software for the following reasons:

The Continued Improvements

The owners of the platform continually make changes to make it a better tool. Since 2015 when it first appeared on the market, a lot in terms of software upgrades has happened, a good example being the voice automation feature. With these improvements, you can be sure that the platform will only get better in the future and help you create videos with less effort.

The Web-Based Usage

You do not need to download anything into your machine. With some software using a lot of RAM and others presenting installation difficulties, web-based tools are often a breeze to use, even if you don’t have a powerful machine. And when there’s an upgrade to the existing version of the software, you do not need to worry about it. You only need to log in and access the new features instantly.

The Easy to Use Interface

The platform is unbelievably easy to use as well as navigate; no clutter and only a few steps to get your video ready. Compared to many other tools that help to create video content, I find Content Samurai more usable. It’s the right tool for beginners who are scared of complex software that requires hours of poring into tutorials to use. Or, platforms that subject users to many steps for the process to make a single video clip.

The Speech Synthesis Feature

With Content Samurai, you don’t have to read out your video script. The software can do that for you- in 14 different voices or accents. If you find it uncomfortable to use your voice, this option should be a respite for you. Also, if you don’t want your accent to come out in the marketing videos that you make. What I like about Content Samurai’s text-speech technology is that it produces a voice that’s almost natural, without the robotic sound in it.

The Almost Unlimited Video and Image Resources

As a member, you get access to more than 112 million images, 40 templates, 30 font options, and over 350,000 video clips for your projects. These resources are royalty-free, so you need not worry about payments or copyright issues. With this vast amount of images, video clips, and other choices, you are unlikely to lack something for your content.

The Straightforwardly Tutorials and Reachable Support

The support page on the platform consists of helpful user guides. These easy to understand and anyone, including beginners, can use them. They make creating stunning videos with CS such a breeze. And if you’re stuck despite the guides, you can always contact the company’s support desk. They’re reachable by phone and email. So far, the owners of this platform have mostly been reviewed positively when it to customer support.

The Downsides

The Price

Content Samurai is a great tool, and a must-have for serious internet marketers, bloggers, website owners, and companies looking to market their brand or products. However, the cost to use the platform may not be pocket-friendly for the small businesses that are just testing the market.

If you’re among those working on a tight budget, I would advise that you take advantage of the regular discount that the owners of Content Samurai offer from time to time. Or, you can sign up for the 7-day trial and see for yourself how the tool works before deciding if it’s worth purchasing.

The Need for Reliable Internet Connection

Being an online tool, Content Samurai requires you to have a strong internet connection every time you use it. That may not a problem for many. However, those without stable connections can expect their projects to experience unwanted interruptions.

Final Comments About Content Samurai

There’s no doubt that videos are becoming more and more necessary in every online marketing campaign. A huge number of buyers depend on video clips to decide on the product to buy, and Google rankings are easier to achieve with videos.

Even if you’re not using video marketing right now, it’s likely that you will eventually. The benefits that a video clip brings are far too many to ignore, plus it’s one of the most shareable contents for backlinks.

For videos to advance your SEO, I wouldn’t hesitate to suggest Content Samurai. I find the software less demanding to use, powerful in creating professional videos, and the owners a company you can trust. It’s the right video creation software for:

Videos that aim to attract traffic such as social media share clips

Videos to bring sales such as those that accompany newsletters

Information sharing content such as course training videos

And other video types.

Content Samurai Review [Is It Worth The Hype?]

Videos are quickly becoming essential in the campaigns to boost internet traffic. Reason? Video content is easy to consume, fast in conveying a message, and naturally engaging. When it comes to earning the trust of your targeted audience, this form of content takes the lead.

But video creation is often a complicated process. If you lack the necessary skills, it can mean having to hire an expert for hundreds (or even thousands) of dollars. And that’s besides spending a lot of your precious time scouting for a videographer.

How can you make the process less demanding? The answer is, by using the right video creation software.

Video creation tools help you to produce internet-ready videos- easily and within no time. There are several such software today, each with own level of usability and effectiveness. One of them- and which stands out from the others- is Content Samurai.

What makes the platform better than other similar ones? And, is the tool worth considering for your marketing videos? This Content Samurai review looks into that in detail and helps you make the important decision.

What is Content Samurai?

It’s a video creation platform. The software is web-based, which means everything regarding its use happens entirely online. There are no downloads or installations to take care of, and no upgrades to worry about. You also don’t need any video creation or editing experience to use Content Samurai, which is a plus for beginners.

Content Samurai comes from a well-known software company, Noble Samurai. They’re the same people who brought you other marketing tools such as Market Samurai, Domain Samurai, and other great applications. Since its first appearance in 2015, the CS platform has helped many online entrepreneurs boost organic traffic and increase conversions. And all that without them spending huge amounts of money on hiring expert videographers.

Before we delve into the features of this tool and how to use them, let’s have a look at video marketing benefits.

Why Video Content?

It’s not without reason that businesses, website owners, and internet marketers are considering videos today more than ever. To help you figure out why, here are video content facts and stats:

About a third of web browsing activities are video watching

YouTube registers more than 1.5 billion visitors monthly, and 1 billion video watch hours every day

72% of internet users prefer video over text when it comes to finding out more about a product

A call to action is 95% more likely to stick to a users mind when included in a video than when in text form

Websites that contain videos have been shown to retain users for 88% more time

Marketers who use video net 66% more leads annually than those who don’t

As you can see, content that’s accompanied by a clip to watch stands a higher chance of attracting traffic than one that doesn’t. Video is loved by both the internet user and search engine, and can significantly boost your SEO tasks.

That said, making a professional video is often the problem. You may be camera shy, or you may be lacking the required skills. Still, some video creation tools are too complicated and difficult to use. That’s where Content Samurai comes in.

How does the software help to make the task make videos easy, fast, and less costly? Let’s see.

A Look Inside Content Samurai

The platform is real simple to use, with a straightforward interface. Here are the features and steps when using the CS software.

The moment you log onto the platform, you find yourself on the welcome page. From here, you can click the button that allows you to start using the app. That moves you to a page that has the “create video” button.

Clicking the button opens up a window where you can select the preferred template. There are over 40 different styles to choose from which is quite a variety. Then you get to choose the video type you want to produce. There are 4 video options; article, course, sales, social media, and real estate.

After that, the system prompts you to name your project and write its script. If you have the content ready, you can paste it on the platform. It’s good to ensure that you include target keywords in the video title; it helps with boosting SEO. And if you’re planning to use the platform’s speech synthesizer, that the script consists of complete sentences for natural voice output.

There’s also the feature that lets you choose slide structure. You can have the software make a single slide for each sentence, paragraph, or even phrase. You can also opt for automation where Content Samurai chooses the slide structure for you. If you’re a beginner, you may want to use this feature. The good thing is that you can always change the structure later if you don’t find it appealing.

Another feature lets you upload your video clip. It can be from any device; a digital camera, tablet, or smartphone. The platform also gives you access to a vast database of videos and images. They’re royalty-free, and you can browse to select the right one for your content. If you do not have the time for that, Content Samurai can do it for you. It does that by scanning your script, determining its context, and finding the most suitable image or video clip to use.

There’s also the option to add a soundtrack to your new video. For that, you have four choices. You can use your recorded voice, upload your preferred soundtrack, or choose from the platform’s database of free music tracks. Alternatively, you can choose to use speech synthesis technology that offers you up to 14 different accents.

Then, hit the generate video button.

The last step to create your marketing video is where you preview the generated clip to make the necessary edits. These can be slide transitions, text animation, and other changes. To use the videos you’ve created, you need to download them to your device (it’s the best way since it gives you more control and access). After that, you can upload the video clips to YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook, website, or any other place of choice.

Note that all of your videos remain on the platform’s storage ready for additional edits- that’s, if the need to do so arises. That can be when you have observed user behavior and identified the parts that need to be adjusted.

What Videos Can You Make With Content Samurai?

They can be many types, from sales pages, content, share, to welcome and thank you videos. You can also use the platform to produce course videos if you’re an online trainer. The list of video types that you can make with this tool is almost endless. You only need to identify the audience and the message that you hope to put across. Once you classify your content according to the available options, the software takes care of the rest.

The Pricing

Content Samurai is a subscription platform where you get to choose between monthly and yearly payments. The two options are; $47 every month, or

$ 397 per year

You can also choose to test the waters first and sign up for the trial period that goes for 7 days. The free trial option gives you access to all the capabilities of the platform, and you can edit as many videos as you wish. I would recommend this option if it’s your first time to use the platform. Afterward, you can choose the membership to subscribe to if satisfied with the software abilities and usability.

What I like About Content Samurai

I would recommend this video creation software for the following reasons:

The Continued Improvements

The owners of the platform continually make changes to make it a better tool. Since 2015 when it first appeared on the market, a lot in terms of software upgrades has happened, a good example being the voice automation feature. With these improvements, you can be sure that the platform will only get better in the future and help you create videos with less effort.

The Web-Based Usage

You do not need to download anything into your machine. With some software using a lot of RAM and others presenting installation difficulties, web-based tools are often a breeze to use, even if you don’t have a powerful machine. And when there’s an upgrade to the existing version of the software, you do not need to worry about it. You only need to log in and access the new features instantly.

The Easy to Use Interface

The platform is unbelievably easy to use as well as navigate; no clutter and only a few steps to get your video ready. Compared to many other tools that help to create video content, I find Content Samurai more usable. It’s the right tool for beginners who are scared of complex software that requires hours of poring into tutorials to use. Or, platforms that subject users to many steps for the process to make a single video clip.

The Speech Synthesis Feature

With Content Samurai, you don’t have to read out your video script. The software can do that for you- in 14 different voices or accents. If you find it uncomfortable to use your voice, this option should be a respite for you. Also, if you don’t want your accent to come out in the marketing videos that you make. What I like about Content Samurai’s text-speech technology is that it produces a voice that’s almost natural, without the robotic sound in it.

The Almost Unlimited Video and Image Resources

As a member, you get access to more than 112 million images, 40 templates, 30 font options, and over 350,000 video clips for your projects. These resources are royalty-free, so you need not worry about payments or copyright issues. With this vast amount of images, video clips, and other choices, you are unlikely to lack something for your content.

The Straightforwardly Tutorials and Reachable Support

The support page on the platform consists of helpful user guides. These easy to understand and anyone, including beginners, can use them. They make creating stunning videos with CS such a breeze. And if you’re stuck despite the guides, you can always contact the company’s support desk. They’re reachable by phone and email. So far, the owners of this platform have mostly been reviewed positively when it to customer support.

The Downsides

The Price

Content Samurai is a great tool, and a must-have for serious internet marketers, bloggers, website owners, and companies looking to market their brand or products. However, the cost to use the platform may not be pocket-friendly for the small businesses that are just testing the market.

If you’re among those working on a tight budget, I would advise that you take advantage of the regular discount that the owners of Content Samurai offer from time to time. Or, you can sign up for the 7-day trial and see for yourself how the tool works before deciding if it’s worth purchasing.

The Need for Reliable Internet Connection

Being an online tool, Content Samurai requires you to have a strong internet connection every time you use it. That may not a problem for many. However, those without stable connections can expect their projects to experience unwanted interruptions.

Final Comments About Content Samurai
