A (not so) short guide for FTH bidding

Bidding can be a bit confusing, especially this year with so many great artists who are willing to offer their time and talents. This guide will hopefully assist to build strategies on how to choose artists, what to expect and how to handle things after you win. 

The most important thing to remember is that FTH is a charity event. The creators don’t receive any of the money that is being donated, and get nothing but satisfaction. It also means that unlike a regular transaction, the bidder is not “buying” the artist’s time. Creators are participating out of the kindness of their hearts, and should be treated with even more respect for their time and boundaries than usual. 

Another important thing to remember is your budget limit. It is easy to get swept up by the heat of the moment and raise your bid offer, but at the end of the day, if you win, you are expected to honour your offer. It is strongly advised to decide, before you start placing your bids, how much money you want to spend (advice on how to keep track of the sum will be detailed later).

Another thing to consider before you start bidding is your goals. Is there one writer's offer you will pay any price to win the bidding on, or are you going to bid for all the writers and be glad with whoever you will win? Maybe all you want is a podcast or a beta? Do you have a specific idea that only one artist will do justice?

Browsing can seem confusing at first, but there is logic in the madness. Read the Sticky post, the tips are useful!

On the desktop computer you will see on the left a list of all the fandoms and the main tags. From mobile, you will see only the list of creators, so it is advised to use the tips in the sticky note to narrow down the list.

When deciding whether to bid for an artist you are not familiar with, there are some important things that can help with the decision. First, check their previous works - do you like their style? Each artist is different and creates something else, that’s part of the beauty of fandoms. Focus on the artists that appeal to you, and don’t expect artists to change their style. Second, take a good look at their offers - what are they interested in? Some artists will focus on certain characters, while others prefer specific genres. Does the rating match the prompt you had in mind? 

If you have an idea that is similar to one of the topics that the author marked as “unwilling to address”, or a specific kink, contact them before you bid (each creator provided a way of contact). 

When you find a creator that interests you, check all their offers. Some artists offer different things (rating, special interest and type of fanwork), so make sure you bid for the right one. 

Most creators focus their skills for a specific fandom, while some offer works to all fandoms, so it is advisable to browse the “all fandoms” tag as well.

While browsing, make yourself a list of all the artists you wish to bid for. It can be in any format you want, but make sure to include the author’s handle, what they offer, their link and the status of your offer. That way you keep easy track of the amount of money you offer as a donation, and decide if you reached your limit or you can bid higher.

Golden needle auction - shortly before the bidding ends, the FTH mods promote creators that had yet to get offers. Keep your eyes open, you might find an artist you accidentally missed, or even discover a new artist or a fandom you hadn’t thought of before. Sometimes this can prove a chance to discover a great creator you weren’t familiar with.

During the bidding - some people chose to bid as early as the bidding starts and wait for the results, without engaging in bidding wars. Others like to keep track of their offers, and update them if needed. Whichever strategy works best for you, remember to keep an eye on your budget and not offer more than you can afford yourself. 

After the bidding - Congratulations! You’ve won an auction (or auctions). What’s next? First, get some rest. The process can be exhausting, so take a moment to relax and celebrate your wins. Also, allow the mods a few days to contact all the winners. 

You will receive an email with the details of your wins, and will be asked to donate to one of the charities your creators listed on their page. Please donate and answer the email with the receipt as soon as possible, and don’t wait for the last minute - both the mods and the creator will appreciate it. 

Contacting your author - after mods have received proof you donate, you will receive the creator's details. Please remember that the money you paid was for charity, and none of the creators are being paid for it. It was a stressful process also for the creators, so don’t panic if they don’t answer immediately.

Deciding on the gift - some creators like to be given a vague idea and a wild hand, while others prefer an elaborate idea and back and forth with the bidder. Whichever way you choose, make sure the creator is comfortable with the theme, rating, genre and kinks, and respect their boundaries. Remember, if the creator is happy with the prompt they are given they are likely to get more inspired for the work so it’s always better to make sure the idea is something the creator is fully comfortable with.

Thank you for participating in the event, and may the odds will always be in your favour!

Mengenal Para Pihak dalam Pengadaan Barang/Jasa Pemerintah

Peraturan Presiden Nomor 16 tahun 2018 jo Perpres 12 Tahun 2021 tentang Pengadaan Barang/Jasa Pemerintah (Perpres No. 16/2018 jo Perpres 12/2021) sebagai pedoman baru pengadaan barang dan jasa pemerintah (PBJ) membawa pokok-pokok perubahan yakni lahirnya pengaturan baru, adanya perubahan istilah dan perubahan definisi juga adanya beberapa perubahan pengaturan. Lahirnya pokok-pokok perubahan ini memberikan dampak pada berubahnya peran dan perubahan tugas dan tanggungjawab pihak-pihak yang terlibat dalam proses PBJ.

Berikut perkenalan singkat pihak-pihak dalam Proses PBJ menurut Perpres No.16/2018 jo Perpres No. 12/2021 :

1. PA (Pengguna Anggaran)

PA adalah pejabat pemegang kewenangan penggunaan anggaran Kementerian Negara/Lembaga/Perangkat Daerah (Pasal 1 ayat 7). Pengertian PA ini sama dengan pengertian Pengguna Anggaran dalam Undang-Undang No. 1 Tahun 2004 tentang Perbendaharaan Negara (UU Pembendaharaan Negara). Sama dengan Perpres sebelumnya, Perpres No. 16/2018 ini juga tidak menjelaskan secara rinci siapa saja yang memiliki kewenangan sebagai PA, sehingga penentuan PA dalam PBJ ini dikembalikan pada ketentuan dalam UU Perbendaharaan Negara.

UU Pembendaharaan Negara menentuakan bahwa PA untuk Kementerian adalah Menteri dari masing-masing Kementerian, sedangkan untuk Lembaga maka yang menjadi PA adalah pimpinan lembaga. Adapun PA perangkat daerah adalah Kepala Satuan Kerja Perangkat Daerah (SKPD).

2. KPA (Kuasa Pengguna Anggaran)

KPA dalam Pepres No. 16/2018 terdiri atas dua jenis yakni KPA pada pelaksanaan APBN dan KPA pada pelaksanaan APBD. KPA pada pelaksanaan APBN merupakan pejabat yang memperoleh kuasa dari PA untuk melaksanakan sebagian kewenangan dan tanggung jawab penggunaan anggaran pada Kementerian Negara/Lembaga yang bersangkutan (Pasal 1 ayat 8). Sedangkan KPA pada pelaksanaan APBD merupakan pejabat yang diberi kuasa untuk melaksanakan sebagian tugas dan fungsi perangkat daerah (Pasal 1 ayat 9). Kewenangan untuk mendelegasikan sebagian tugas pelaksanaan anggaran kepada KPA  adalah PA sehingga penentuan siapa yang menjadi KPA tidak dibatasi oleh Perpres No.16/2018.

3. PPK (Pejabat Pembuat Komitmen)

PPK merupakan pejabat yang diberi kewenangan oleh PA/KPA untuk mengambil keputusan dan/atau melakukan tindakan yang dapat mengakibatkan pengeluaran anggaran belanja negara/anggaran belanja daerah (Pasal 1 ayat 10).

4. Pejabat Pengadaan

Pejabat administrasi/pejabat fungsional/personel yang bertugas melaksanakan pengadaan langsung, penunjukan langsung, dan/atau E-purchasing (Pasal 1 ayat 13).

5. Unit Kerja Pengadaan Barang/Jasa (UKPBJ)

UKBJ merupakan unit kerja di Kementerian/Lembaga/Pemerintah Daerah yang menjadi pusat keunggulan PBJ (Pasal 1 ayat 11). Unit ini merupakan gabungan dari fungsi Unit Layanan Pengadaan (ULP) serta Layanan Pengadaan Secara Elektronik (LPSE) yang disertai dengan fungsi pendukung lainnya (LKPP).

6. Pokja Pemilihan (Kelompok Kerja Pemilihan)

Pokja Pemilihan merupakan sumber daya manusia yang ditetapkan oleh pimpinan UKPBJ untuk mengelola pemilihan penyedia (Pasal 1 ayat 12). Sebelumnya Pokja Pemilihan ini dikenal dengan nama Pokja ULP.

7. Agen Pengadaan

Agen Pengadaan merupakan hal yang baru diatur oleh Perpres No. 16/2018. Dalam peraturan ini, Agen Pengadaan didefinisikan sebagai UKPBJ atau Pelaku Usaha yang melaksanakan sebagian atau seluruh pekerjaan PBJ yang diberi kepercayaan oleh Kementerian/Lembaga/Pemerintah Daerah sebagai pihak pemberi pekerjaan (Pasal 1 ayat 16)

8. Penyelenggara Swakelola

Penyelenggara Swakelola adalah Tim yang menyelenggarakan kegiatan secara Swakelola (Pasal 1 ayat 17). Adapun yang dimaksud dengan swakelola menurut Perpres No.16/2018 ialah cara memperoleh barang/jasa yang dikerjakan sendiri oleh Kementerian/Lembaga/Perangkat Daerah, Kementerian/Lembaga/Perangkat Daerah lain, organisasi kemasyarakatan, atau kelompok masyarakat.

Pengaturan sebelumnya (Perpres No.54/2010) menentukan 3 tipe swakelola yakni swakelola tipe I dilakukan oleh Kementerian/Lembaga/Daerah/Institusi (K/L/D/I) Penanggung Jawab Anggaran, swakelola tipe II dilakukan oleh instansi pemerintah lain pelaksana swakelola dan swakelola tipe III adalah swakelola yang dilakukan oleh kelompok masyarakat pelaksana swakelola. Dalam Perpres No. 16/2018 diatur 4 Tipe Swakelola yakni dengan menambahkan swakelola Tipe III yang dilaksanakan oleh Organisasi Kemasyarakatan (Pasal 47).

9. Penyedia (Penyedia Barang/Jasa Pemerintah)

Penyedia merupakan salah satu pihak yang mengalami perubahan definisi, dimana dalam Perpres No.16/2018 ini, Penyedia adalah Pelaku Usaha yang menyediakan barang/jasa berdasarkan kontrak (Pasal 1 ayat 28).

Perubahan yang dibawa oleh Perpres No. 16/2018 ini tidak membawa dampak perubahan yang signifikan secara menyeluruh terhadap peran dari pihak-pihak pengadaan barang dan jasa oleh Pemerintah, meski demikian perubahan yang ada mengandung hal-hal yang esensial dan patut untuk diketahui oleh para Pelaku Usaha yang hendak berkontestasi dalam PBJ.

What Is Enhanced CPC in Bidding Strategies in Display Ads?

In the ever-evolving landscape of digital marketing, advertisers are constantly seeking ways to optimize their ad spend while maximizing the return on investment (ROI). One powerful tool in this pursuit is Enhanced Cost-Per-Click (CPC), a bidding strategy used in display ads. This blog will explore what Enhanced CPC is, how it works, and how it can be effectively utilized within your Paid Media Advertising company strategy, enhancing your overall Digital Marketing services efforts.

Understanding Enhanced CPC

Enhanced CPC (ECPC) is a bidding strategy that automatically adjusts your manual bids for clicks that are more likely to lead to a conversion. Unlike traditional CPC bidding, where you set a static maximum cost-per-click for your ads, Enhanced CPC uses real-time data to increase or decrease your bids based on the likelihood of a conversion.

Key Features of Enhanced CPC:

Bid Adjustments: Enhanced CPC can increase your bid by up to 30% if Google's algorithms predict that a click is more likely to result in a conversion. Conversely, it can reduce your bid for clicks that are deemed less likely to convert.

Real-Time Data Utilization: ECPC leverages machine learning and real-time data, including factors like device type, location, time of day, and user behavior, to make informed bid adjustments.

Manual Control: While ECPC automates bid adjustments, it still allows advertisers to maintain control over their bidding strategy by setting a maximum CPC bid.

How Enhanced CPC Works

Enhanced CPC operates by analyzing historical data and user behavior to predict the likelihood of a conversion for each click. When a user is searching for a product or service similar to what you offer, Google's algorithms assess the potential of that user converting after clicking on your ad. Based on this assessment, ECPC will adjust the bid accordingly.

Steps Involved in Enhanced CPC:

Data Analysis: Google analyzes historical performance data, including past clicks and conversions, to identify patterns that indicate a higher probability of conversion.

Bid Adjustment: When an opportunity arises, ECPC automatically increases or decreases your bid to optimize for conversions, staying within the limits you’ve set.

Ad Display: The ad is then displayed to the user, with the bid amount reflecting the likelihood of conversion.

Performance Tracking: ECPC continues to learn and refine its bidding adjustments based on the outcomes of these clicks, improving accuracy over time.

Benefits of Using Enhanced CPC

Enhanced CPC offers several advantages, particularly for businesses looking to optimize their paid media campaigns without fully relinquishing control to automated bidding strategies.

Key Benefits:

Improved ROI: By adjusting bids based on the likelihood of conversion, ECPC can help you achieve a higher ROI on your ad spend. This means more conversions at a lower overall cost.

Increased Conversions: Enhanced CPC is designed to increase conversions by focusing your budget on the clicks that are most likely to lead to a sale or another desired action.

Flexibility: Unlike fully automated bidding strategies, ECPC allows you to retain manual control over your bids, providing a balance between automation and manual input.

Ease of Implementation: For advertisers familiar with manual CPC bidding, ECPC is an easy step up, offering improved performance without requiring a complete overhaul of your existing strategy.

When to Use Enhanced CPC

While Enhanced CPC can be a powerful tool, it’s not suitable for every campaign. Understanding when to use ECPC is crucial for maximizing its benefits.

Ideal Scenarios for Enhanced CPC:

New Campaigns: When launching a new display ad campaign, ECPC can provide a boost by optimizing bids for conversions, helping you gain traction quickly.

Limited Budget: If you have a limited budget and need to maximize the impact of every dollar spent, ECPC can help by focusing on the most conversion-worthy clicks.

Testing and Optimization: ECPC is ideal for campaigns where you want to test different approaches and optimize based on real-time performance data without fully automating the process.

Manual Bidding Control: If you prefer to maintain control over your bidding strategy but want the added benefit of algorithmic adjustments, ECPC is a great middle ground.

How to Implement Enhanced CPC

Implementing Enhanced CPC in your display ad campaigns is straightforward, especially if you’re already using manual CPC bidding.

Steps to Implement ECPC:

Access Your Campaign Settings: In your Google Ads account, navigate to the campaign you want to optimize with ECPC.

Select Bidding Strategy: Under the bidding section, choose “Enhanced CPC” as your bidding strategy.

Set Maximum CPC: Define your maximum CPC bid. ECPC will adjust bids based on this value, but it will never exceed the maximum you set by more than 30%.

Monitor and Adjust: After implementation, monitor your campaign’s performance. Look at key metrics such as conversion rates and cost per conversion to ensure that ECPC is delivering the desired results.

Conclusion

Enhanced CPC is a valuable tool for advertisers looking to optimize their display ad campaigns. By automatically adjusting bids based on the likelihood of conversion, ECPC helps improve ROI, increase conversions, and provide a balanced approach between manual control and automation. Integrating Enhanced CPC into your Paid Media Advertising strategy can significantly enhance the effectiveness of your Digital Marketing services, helping you achieve better results with your ad spend.
