After reviewing over 1,000 charts, I have found some good setups for the week. These were selected and should be viewed in the context of the broad Market Macro picture reviewed Friday which with the 2nd Quarter of 2024 in the books and heading into the holiday shortened week, saw equity markets showing resilience with a rebound from a pullback and large caps and tech names holding at the highs.

Elsewhere look for Gold to continue its consolidation after the record move higher while Crude Oil consolidates in a broad range. The US Dollar Index continues the short term move to the upside while US Treasuries continue in their secular downtrend. The Shanghai Composite looks to continue the downtrend while Emerging Markets consolidate under long term resistance.

The Volatility Index looks to remain very low and stable making the path easier for equity markets to the upside. Their charts look strong, especially on the longer timeframe. On the shorter timeframe both the QQQ and SPY are showing signs of a possible reset on momentum measures as both are extended. The IWM continues to lag in a long term channel. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.

I think the rumored SMA is Glen Powell. Not sure I understand that one either but at least he’s young(ish) and attractive.

My "serious" picks are Glen Powell and Travis Kelce.

Glen doesn't need the paid promo that's Sexiest Man. He's doing just fine with his career and Tom Cruise has handpicked him to take over the Mission Impossible franchise.

Travis also doesn't need it - he's got the podcast, the Chiefs, and Taylor Swift - but it's very clear he's making moves for a post-football career and Sexiest Man Alive could be a strategic PR move for that portfolio. (Most NFL tight ends, which is Travis's position, retire around age 35 and a small lucky few stick around till they're 37. Travis turned 35 a few weeks ago so he's in the twilight of his career.) (Also Travis was named Sexiest Podcaster along with his brother so I don't think they'd also name him Sexiest Man but 🤷‍♀️. He was on the shortlist.

Jonathan Bailey's name is also being thrown around a lot (Bridgerton, Wicked, Fellow Travelers) but like Glen, he doesn't need paid PR - he's got Bridgerton still, he's taking over the Jurassic Park franchise, and he's got a Broadway show coming.

People's formula for Sexiest Man in recent years seems to be guys in mid-30s to early-40s (which these three are) mainstream pop culture (which these three are) who appeal to the minivan/suburban American woman (which these three do) and have something to promote that they want some attention for (but which these three don't) and for some reason, that combination has always led to something random that makes most of us go "huh?"

So I'm skeptical it'll be these guys. Anyway, we'll soon see. Just a few more hours.

Personally, I think People jumped the shark when they named Blake Shelton Sexiest Man Alive in 2017 so I don't give them much credit on determining qualifications for Sexy Men anymore (sorry, People Anon).

Also, I'm going to throw a random name out there. Zac Efron. Because why not. (Also because I just read Disney High and I'm nostalgic for my peak millennial Disney years. If you grew up on Disney Channel Original Movies, Lizzie McGuire, Even Stevens, Hannah Montana, Wizards, and Suite Life - this book is for you.)

(Previously)

The monster tugged them into his room, and slammed the door behind him. Adrik flinched at the force of it all, but willingly took in the room ahead of them. The first thing they took in was the smell of sweat. It wasn’t horrible, but it was noticeable enough. Then, they noticed the mess around them. The living room slash kitchen was… clean enough. There were some clothes scattered around, and a few dirty dishes in places they weren’t supposed to be. Posters were pinned across the walls, some for bands and others for an anime they didn’t know about, but the sheer amount of buff men intrigued them. The coffee table was cluttered, and the sofa was covered in unfurled blankets. The weirdest part was the room situation, though. There was seemingly only one room: his room. The other was essentially turned into extra storage. No way in hell could this possibly be Daniel’s roommate.

Their host, if they could even call him that, had begun scooping up his dirty laundry to clean a bit for them. Clearly, he’d not planned guests. He paid no mind to the broader issue of where they would be staying.

“...What’s with you?” His voice was rough and snappy, ripping them from their thoughts.

“Oh, um… where should I put my things? There's not really a room for me.”

The man snorted, trying to muffle his laughter. “Just throw it in the storage room. You can have the couch tonight, I’ll clear that room tomorrow.” 

“Ok, thank you. Um, your name is?” 

“Mango.”

He didn’t even bother to ask their name, so they didn’t push it. He was probably still upset at having been woken up, they couldn’t blame him. The storage room was certainly a mess. A bunch of trash and boxes that hadn’t been taken out to the trash can yet. There were a few travel bags shoved underneath the bed, but they paid little mind to it as they all seemed empty. They glanced around and plopped their backpack by the door.

“Why did you get a two bedroom if you live alone?” Adrik asked. “It just seems a bit unnecessary.”

“I do have roommates sometimes. They don't last long’s all.” Mango stated, raising his voice to be heard as he wrestled on a tank top.

“Do they just get kicked out, or can they just not stand someone like you?” Adrik asked, walking out of the storage room.

“...A third option.”

What kind of third option could there be in a place like this? They hoped and prayed the third option wasn’t death. Mango artfully dodged them after they accidentally walked in his way, and moved to the TV.

“Wanna play something?” He muttered, almost sounding bored.

“Um, sure.”

Mango began messing with the old TV and the console underneath. Adrik decided now was the time to get answers for their questions, while he fidgeted with the TV, the console, and its settings. 

“You know Daniel?”

“Yep.” Mango grumbled “He lives with my little sister. Both hate visitors, that’s why they’re sent to me. That’s why I have the guest room.”

“Do you know what happened to him?”

He shook his head, tentacles flopping back and forth. From what they could see of his face, it only looked like he had a single eye. The screen finally flicked on, to an HDMI select screen. “She won’t let me see him. Apparently he has really bad anxiety.”

Daniel had anxiety? That was news to Adrik. It seemed like a contradiction to who they knew him as. If he had anxiety there wouldn’t have been as many hospital visits they’d been informed of.  

Mango flipped the channel and the menu for a GameCube select screen popped up.

“What do you wanna play?” Mango shut up their questions.

He began to shuffle through his game collection to give them options. Baldur’s Gate, Luigi’s Mansion, Mario Sunshine, Mario Parties Five through Seven, Bomberman Land 2, Digimon World 4, Smash Bros-

“Let’s smash.” Adrik stated, knowingly.

Mango’s eye slammed wide open in shock. There was a brief moment of silence before his brain finally rebooted.

“...Dear Lord, why did I think you weren’t talking about the game for a minute?”

They snickered. “I don’t know, you gave me no other options than gaming.”

Mango shook his head while he selected the title. “Then why the hell did you phrase it that way?”

“Sorry I just… I like making jokes like that.”

“No no, you're fine.” He went silent for a moment before continuing with something next to inaudible that they couldn’t hear 

Adrik nodded like they understood what he said, readjusting their glasses as the intro music blared. They barely noticed Mango's look change into one of mild panic.

“You heard that?” It was quiet and full of horror, even with the theme blaring.

”Nyet.” Adrik admitted. 

“Ok, good. You weren’t supposed to hear that.”

”Then why did you say it out loud?”

”It’s just how my brain works, sometimes I just gotta say a thing out loud to keep it in mind.” He tapped a few buttons, entering the character select screen. “Anyways, let’s smash.”

…

“Wow, you suck at this.”

“Shut up I don’t have anyone else to play with, none of my siblings come over.”

”I’m an only child, you have no excuse.”

Mango smoothed his tentacles out with a smooth, firm hand and slammed down the controller. He stood up, stretched, and walked over to the kitchen in annoyance.

“I’m getting a drink, I’m not mad I swear.”

His tone refused to convey his lie. He sounded, at the very least, ticked off at his bad luck. Every word he said contained a low growl underneath, and he refused to even look at them. His tail flicked like a cat that was prepared to bite a person. He took his claws to a pack of bottled water, and Adrik finally spoke up again.

”We can play something else if you want, I don’t know how to use this system.”

Mango choked on his water and whipped his head around to face them like he’d just heard them admit that they were a murderer. “What do you MEAN you don’t know how to use that?”

”I never used this, I grew up on the Wii, this is all new to me.” 

“Christ, you humans really are uncivilized rats.” He paused for a brief moment before specifying, “No offense.”

”None taken, I’m just confused why you think that.”

Mango shrugged, walking back to the couch. It dipped underneath his sheer weight, imperceptibly shifting Adrik just that much closer to him. His massive tail coiled around their spot, not touching them but making moving without being noticed next to impossible 

“Most of my race see humans as nothin but vermin. Not good, not bad, just pests. They’re not too well liked, especially not after what they did to our kind. I’m pretty neutral about their existence, just don’t piss me off.”

Adrik didn’t prod. It seemed like a VERY touchy subject and they didn’t really want to bring it up this early. But as Mango flipped back to the game select screen, Adrik heard a growl. Where it’d come from, they didn’t know. It wasn’t deep enough to be from Mango, but there was nothing else there that could’ve let out a noise like that. It was quiet, guttural, and drawn out. Definitely not anything else there.

Mango finally settled on Mario Party, but Adrik felt that he was less focused on his selection and more focused on them.

…

They heard the growling yet again. All Adrik could feel was Mango’s gaze burying into their very soul, like the eyes of a hawk having found its prey. He leaned back, all too casually. Adrik forced themself to lean back as well; they couldn’t feel safe with him behind them. Their hands tightened on their controller, awkwardly kneading its hand grips. They didn’t want to look at him. They were afraid to look at him.1

”You already know what’s coming, don’t you?” His voice was as monotone as ever.

Almost unconsciously, Adrik answered, “You’re going to kill me, aren’t you?” 

They hadn’t meant to say that, they hadn’t even been thinking that until he got weird about it. Mango instantly turned away, falling deathly silent. He wasn’t even breathing it sounded. Adrik glanced over and immediately regretted it. He looked completely enraged, shivering. They turned away, shoving their hands into their pockets. They traced the shape they found, a small switchblade. It was still faulty, and would often go off with the slightest provocation, but it was the closest thing to a comfort they had here.

 ”Is it really murder if it’s necessary?” Mango’s voice wasn’t just monotone, but dead flat. 

Before Adrik could ask what he’d meant by that, Mango lunged. He grabbed their wrists, and ripped them out of their pockets, shoving both down his throat. They refused to let go of the knife, but they couldn’t bring themself to use it. They were frozen in terror and disgust. His throat was wet with saliva, and tight. It was impossible to pull out their hands, but he didn’t bite down. He swallowed, dragging their arms deeper into his throat, forcing them even closer. It was sweltering, but they looked him in his eye, his smug, golden, angry eye, and flicked the knife out. 

His throat spasmed, causing him to bite down on their arms, hard. Finally, they were able to pull their spit coated arms out of his throat. They ripped their arms out before his throat clamped back down, dragging the knife across the muscle. A gurgling screech left Mango as his hands flew up to clasp his throat, a mix of blood and spit drooling out from his mouth.

They fell to the ground, still too in shock to run. Something was wrong, but they were too hyped up from terror and adrenaline to be able to tell what. Their blouse was fucked, the arms covered in a disgusting mess of both of their blood, a good deal of Mango’s slobber, and torn from when he bit them. Mango was hacking as if he were about to throw up, as the gills on his neck gasped for air for him. Bright orange - almost golden - blood spilled from his mouth as he reacted in pain.

“Why do you have a fucking knife!?” Mango gurgled hoarsely through breaths.

”What the FUCK is wrong with you, you tried to eat me!” Adrik shrieked from the floor. “And how are you still alive?”

”To answer both questions, I’m a Leviathan. We all eat humans one way or another. And you’re not out of it either, mister. That bite means we’re stuck with each other for a loooooong time.”

Bitcoin Mining Intensity Peaks: Is a BTC Price Surge on the Horizon?

Key Points

Bitcoin mining difficulty has reached an all-time high of 95.67 terahashes, increasing 4% in the last 24 hours.

Miners are under increased pressure to maintain profitability as mining costs rise due to an increase in demand for computational power.

Despite the recent retraction of the Bitcoin price from $69,000 levels to $66,539, the mining difficulty of the cryptocurrency has reached an unprecedented level. The Bitcoin mining difficulty has surged to a record high of 95.67 terahashes (T), marking a 4% increase in just 24 hours.

Throughout this year, the Bitcoin blockchain has seen 22 difficulty adjustments, 13 of which have been positive. The Bitcoin hashrate, a measure of the processing power of the Bitcoin network, has also seen a significant increase, rising by 27% from 72T to 92T.

Increased Mining Difficulty and Costs

The surge in Bitcoin mining difficulty has put miners under increased pressure. As the demand for computational power grows, so does the cost of mining.

The Bitcoin halving event in April 2024, which resulted in a 50% reduction in mining rewards, led to weaker Bitcoin miners with outdated equipment exiting the industry. The departure of these small miners resulted in a 15% drop in the hashrate.

Furthermore, some miners have been partially selling their Bitcoin holdings to cover rising operational costs. Data from Glassnode shows that miner balances have been on the decline this year as weaker miners prepared for the halving and sought to fund their operations. Between November 2023 and July 2024, over 30,000 bitcoins left miner wallets, marking one of the longest distribution periods recorded.

Miner Balances Stabilizing

However, since July, miner balances have stabilized and started to show signs of accumulation. This suggests that the remaining miners are better equipped to navigate the new market environment. The Bitcoin mining industry is likely to consolidate among strong players, with public miners controlling a record share of almost 30%.

Potential for a Bitcoin Bull Run?

Bitcoin bull runs are often closely tied to rising miner revenue. As Bitcoin prices increase, so do mining earnings. According to Glassnode, the total dollar mining revenue, based on a 7-day moving average (7-DMA), has surpassed $35 million, reflecting an increase of more than $10 million since the lows observed in September.

However, since the April halving, Bitcoin mining revenue has remained below the 365-simple moving average (SMA), which currently stands around $40 million. Historically, a surge in total miner revenue past the 365-SMA has coincided with a Bitcoin bull run.

The recent retracement of the Bitcoin price from $69,000 to $66,000 has led to bearish sentiment. However, technical charts indicate that the Bitcoin price is finding support at the upper end of the channel. For the rally to continue, Bitcoin must maintain a price of $66,000.

Short-term technical outlook for gold prices.

The daily chart of gold prices shows that gold prices have fallen for the third consecutive day, with increasing bearish potential but lacking technical confirmation. Gold rebounded from the intraday low and is currently struggling around the bullish 20 Simple Moving Average (SMA) of $2,485. Meanwhile, the 100 SMA is far below the current price, losing some bullish momentum, but still showing some degree of exhaustion of upside momentum. Finally, technical indicators are neutral to bearish in bias, and are tightly above their mid-lines.

How Script Help us in Creating the App

Feature Prioritization: The script outlines a wide range of features that users expect from an on-demand service app. Developers can use this information to prioritize features based on their importance and relevance to the target audience. Features such as reliability, user-friendly interface, robust security, and responsive customer support should be given top priority during the development process.

User Experience Design: The script emphasizes the importance of exceptional user experience design, including intuitive interfaces, smooth navigation, and responsive customer support. Developers can use this guidance to design user interfaces that are easy to use, visually appealing, and optimized for various devices and screen sizes. Incorporating user feedback mechanisms and iterative testing can further enhance the overall user experience.

Integration of Advanced Technologies: Renowned companies often leverage advanced technologies such as real-time tracking, predictive analytics, and machine learning to enhance their on-demand service apps. Developers can explore integrating these technologies into their apps to provide innovative features such as personalized recommendations, dynamic pricing, and predictive scheduling, thereby offering users a more tailored and efficient experience.

Data Privacy and Security: The script highlights the importance of implementing robust data privacy and security measures to protect user information and transactions. Developers should prioritize data encryption, secure authentication protocols, and compliance with relevant regulations such as GDPR or CCPA. Conducting regular security audits and staying updated on emerging threats can help mitigate risks and build trust with users.

Scalability and Global Reach: Renowned companies often operate on a global scale, requiring their on-demand service apps to be scalable and adaptable to diverse markets and regions.

Implementing features such as consent management tools, transparency in data usage, and time management features promotes ethical design practices and cultivates trust and goodwill among users.

App Revenue Models

User Acquisition Costs (UAC): Factor in the cost associated with acquiring new users through marketing and advertising efforts. Let's assume an average UAC of Rs. 100 per user.

Retention and Churn Rate: Estimate user retention and churn rate. Assume a 20% churn rate, meaning 20% of users stop using the app each year.

Subscription Model: Offer premium features or a subscription-based model for users who want access to exclusive content or additional functionality. Let's assume 5% of users opt for a monthly subscription priced at Rs. 100 per month.

In-App Purchases: Offer users the option to purchase virtual goods, upgrades, or additional services within the app. Estimate an average of Rs. 50 per user per year in in-app purchases.

Advertising Revenue: Generate revenue through in-app advertisements. Assume an average revenue of Rs. 0.20 per impression with 100,000 impressions per month.

First Year:

Total Transactions in First Year: Rs. 25,00,000 (as calculated previously).

Commission Revenue: Rs. 5,00,000.

Subscription Revenue: Rs. 100 * 12 months * 5% * 1200 users = Rs. 72,000.

In-App Purchase Revenue: Rs. 50 * 1200 = Rs. 60,000.

Advertising Revenue: Rs. 0.20 * 100,000 impressions * 12 months = Rs. 2,40,000.

Second Year

Total Transactions in Second Year: Rs. 55,00,000 (as calculated previously).

Commission Revenue: Rs. 8,25,000.

Subscription Revenue: Rs. 100 * 12 months * 5% * 1440 users = Rs. 86,400.

In-App Purchase Revenue: Rs. 50 * 1440 = Rs. 72,000.

Advertising Revenue: Rs. 0.20 * 100,000 impressions * 12 months = Rs. 2,40,000.

Bitcoin Price Pullback and Altcoin Rebounds: ETF Approval Impact and Analysis

Bitcoin's recent sharp pullback to $41,500 may have been triggered by traders booking profits after the regulatory approval of spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) did not result in an upside move. Some analysts have turned bearish, projecting targets of $25,000 and lower on Bitcoin. However, long-term investors are likely to be attracted to levels near $38,000, as they monitor the Bitcoin halving and institutional inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs. Inflows into Bitcoin ETFs could potentially reverse the slide for Bitcoin and altcoins.

Internet Computer (ICP) has shown bullish momentum, bouncing off the 20-day exponential moving average (EMA) and defending the level. Despite negative divergence on the relative strength index (RSI), the moving averages point to an advantage for buyers. If ICP breaks above $14.21, it could retest the high at $16.30 and potentially reach $18. The 20-day EMA remains a critical support level to watch.

Celestia (TIA) has been in a strong uptrend, with support at $17.29. A break below this level would indicate that bears are selling on rallies. However, if buyers can prevent the price from slipping below $17.29, it will indicate the bulls are trying to flip the level into support. This would improve the prospects of a break above $20, with a potential ascent to $25.

Mantle (MNT) broke above an ascending channel pattern and rallied to $0.85, but faced profit-booking at higher levels. The breakout level from the channel should act as support. If the price rebounds, buyers will attempt to reach $0.85 and potentially $1. However, a break below the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) could signal the end of the uptrend, risking a fall to $0.65 and $0.58.

Sei (SEI) has formed a symmetrical triangle pattern, indicating indecision between bulls and bears. The rising 20-day EMA and positive RSI give buyers the edge. If the price breaks above the triangle, the target is $1.10. However, if the price continues lower and breaks below the triangle, it could signal a potential trend change and a deeper correction toward the 50-day SMA.

IOTA is a distributed ledger technology. It is also known as DLT. DLTs let us control our private data, run programs, and trade and own assets. As IOTA is a distributed ledger technology it maintains a ledger of token ownership between multiple nodes. The coin was founded in 2015 by four co-founders, Sergey Ivancheglo, David Sonstebo, Serguei Popov, and Dominik Schiener. The MIOTA has its team members across 25 countries. The MIOTA exhibits a volume-to-market cap ratio of approximately 1.28%. In terms of its circulating supply, there are approximately 2.77B IOTA tokens available, out of a max supply of 4.6B IOTA. Notably, the highest price ever achieved by this cryptocurrency was $5.25, and at present, it is undergoing a decline of around 97.12% from its historical peak. IOTA crypto primarily sees the highest trading activity with the USDT pair, with approximately 41.64% of its trading volume occurring on the Bitforex exchange. The crypto was officially launched on July 17, 2020. There is a huge advance of 61.74% in the trading volume of the crypto in the last 24 hours indicating the gain of interest of traders. Is the Time For Breakout in IOTA Crypto Close? Source: Tradingview : IOTAUSD: BINANCE MIOTA has formed an evening star pattern on the daily timeframe by engulfing the previous candles. This price behavior indicates sellers’ dominance in the crypto’s price. The IOTA crypto is also following a declining channel pattern making lower low swing points.  The 50-day and the 200-day EMA are following a consistent downtrend trading in a death cross. The MIOTA crypto price is also trading below the EMAs declining to lower levels. This shows a bearish character in the crypto’s price. The RSI for the IOTA has declined below the 50 level on the charts. Currently, it is trading at a level of 44.79 and has also declined below the 14-day SMA. This behavior of RSI further represents a lack of bullish momentum in the coin. IOTA Liquidation Analysis IOTA is showing some activity among the trader’s community as the derivative volume of the coin has advanced by 153.54%. The crypto has also faced a long liquidation of $33.86K in the last 24 hours while the short liquidation is only $1.38K. Conclusion With the decline in price, the volume of the MIOTA crypto is advancing. The technicals like the EMA and the RSI are bearish on the charts. The crypto also has formed a bearish candlestick pattern and is trading inside a falling wedge pattern. Therefore, the IOTA coin’s price can continue to decline to a further lower level as there is no sign of buyers in the community, and it may hit lower support levels in the upcoming days. Technical Levels  Support levels- $0.1200 and $0.14200 Resistance levels- $0.2100 and $0.2600

Ethereum Value Plummets 3.80% in Market Sell-off, Targets $2,800 Safety Net

Key Points

Bitcoin and Ethereum experience a dip in prices due to increased market sell-off.

Ethereum’s future performance is uncertain, with potential for either a bullish reversal or further decline.

The cryptocurrency market has been experiencing a downward trend since the start of the week. The rise in selling pressure has surpassed the activity of buyers.

Bitcoin (BTC), the market leader, has lost approximately 3% in the past 24 hours, indicating a possible bearish trend. Similarly, Ethereum (ETH), the top altcoin, currently trading at $3,188, has reflected this sentiment with a 3.80% price correction and a trading volume of $18.9 billion in the last 24 hours.

Predicting Ethereum’s Future

The current market situation raises an important question: Will Ethereum’s price defy the odds and stage a bullish reversal, or will it succumb to selling pressure and retest its critical support level of $2,800?

Ethereum’s 1-day chart demonstrates the formation of a multi-pattern, indicating a period of uncertainty. Notably, the altcoin has been caught within a descending channel pattern since mid-May, indicating a long-term bearish outlook.

However, the market volatility in July provided a brief respite for ETH. The token formed an ascending channel pattern after successfully retesting its crucial $2,800 support level. This price action, however, was short-lived. With the recent market correction, Ethereum has deviated from this pattern, signaling a potential decline.

Adding to the bearish narrative is the Simple Moving Average (SMA) consistently acting as persistent resistance on the 1-day chart. This technical indicator suggests a growing dominance of sellers within the cryptocurrency space.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) adds to this, failing to breach its neutral zone and persistently demonstrating a bearish downward trend. These technical indicators collectively paint a concerning picture of Ethereum’s short-term prospects.

Ethereum’s Support and Resistance Levels

If the market can regain some momentum, Ethereum could attempt to retest its resistance level of $3,300. A surge in bullish sentiment across the crypto market could see ETH break from its descending channel pattern and target its upper resistance level of $3,700.

However, if the bears maintain their hold on the market, Ethereum could see a significant decline towards its crucial support level of $2,800 sometime this month. A breakdown below this level could trigger further panic selling and increase the downward pressure on Ethereum’s price.

The coming days will be crucial for Ethereum. Whether the Ether will maintain its position at $2,800 or stage a bullish reversal will depend on broader market forces and investor sentiment.

What is Digital Marketing?

What is digital marketing, exactly? The term "digital marketing" describes the use of digital platforms, tactics, and strategies to advertise goods, services, or brands in order to connect with and engage a target market. To raise awareness, promote customer connections, and drive client acquisition, it makes use of the power of the internet and digital technologies. Search engines, social media platforms, websites, email marketing, mobile applications, online advertising, content marketing, and other tools are just a few examples of the many platforms and methods that fall under the umbrella of digital marketing. With the use of these channels, marketers may target particular demographics, monitor the success of their campaigns, and real-time refine their marketing strategies. Importance of Digital Marketing The broad usage of digital technologies and the internet in recent years has greatly increased the importance of digital marketing. Here are some main justifications on how digital advertising is essential for companies: Wide Reach: With the help of digital marketing, companies may connect with a sizable worldwide audience. Due to the fact that billions of people use the internet and other digital platforms, businesses may reach customers worldwide. Small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) who may lack the resources for extensive traditional marketing initiatives may particularly benefit from this. Advertising that is specifically targeted to a given demographic, set of interests, or set of behaviors is possible thanks to digital marketing. Marketers can use information and analysis to gain more insight into their targeted market and send communications that are tailored to them. With these targeting capabilities, it is more likely that the appropriate audience will see relevant material, which will enhance engagement and conversion rates. Cost-Effectiveness: When compared to conventional marketing channels, digital marketing frequently shows to be more economical. Affordably priced choices for promoting goods and services are provided via platforms including social media, email marketing, and content marketing. Additionally, pay-per-click (PPC) campaigns allow companies to create budgets and pay only for clicks or conversions that actually occur, maximizing return on investment (ROI). Results That Can Be Measured: One of the key benefits of digital advertising is the opportunity to monitor campaign effectiveness in real-time. The amount of website traffic, user engagement, conversion rates, and consumer behavior that marketers may access is vast. Businesses can use this data to examine the success of their marketing initiatives, make data-driven choices, and improve campaigns for increased results. Customer Interaction and Connection Building: Digital marketing provides several options for customer engagement and interaction. Businesses may have direct discussions with their target audience, respond to their questions, and develop relationships thanks to social media platforms, email marketing, and content marketing. Businesses can stimulate repeat business, encourage client loyalty, and produce favorable word-of-mouth recommendations by cultivating their relationships with customers. Enhanced Brand recognition: Companies can considerably raise their brand recognition thanks to the rise of digital media. Businesses can build their brand identity and have an effective online presence by making regular, focused efforts in digital marketing. Customers are then more inclined to opt for the brand over rivals as a result of helping to increase customer trust and credibility. Competitive Advantage: Businesses, especially small, nimble ones, have the chance to compete with bigger firms thanks to digital marketing. Effectively utilizing digital marketing methods allows companies to stand out from the competition, highlight their distinctive value proposition, and obtain a competitive advantage. Even small firms with tight budgets may develop successful digital marketing campaigns with the appropriate strategies. Agility and Adaptability: Digital marketing enables immediate campaign optimization and modifications. Digital channels, as opposed to conventional marketing strategies, allow for quick modifications. To keep campaigns effective and current, marketers can assess real-time data and make quick changes to aiming for, messaging, or ad placements. In conclusion, in the current digital world, digital marketing is essential for businesses. It has a broad audience, targeted advertising, is cost-effective, produces measurable results, engages customers, builds brand awareness, gives businesses a competitive edge, and is agile. Businesses can engage with their intended consumers, promote growth, and maintain an advantage in the market by implementing digital marketing methods. Tasks in Digital Marketing Businesses can use a variety of methods and approaches to promote their goods, services, or brands through digital marketing. Some of the main categories of digital marketing are as follows: Search Engine Optimization (SEO): It is the process of improving a website's exposure and genuine (non-paid) search engine ranks by tweaking its content, structure, and technological components. To increase traffic to your website from search engines like Google, Bing, and Yahoo, it requires keyword research, on-page optimization, link building, and technical optimization. Search Engine Marketing (SEM): SEM involves purchasing search engine advertising space. Pay-Per-Click (PPC) advertising campaigns are one example of this, in which businesses place bids on keywords and display adverts in the sponsored portion of search engine results pages (SERPs). A well-liked SEM platform is Google AdWords, which enables companies to direct particular traffic to their webpages by showing adverts to users who are looking for pertinent keywords. Social Media marketing (SMM) is the practice of promoting goods and services through social media sites like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, and YouTube. To raise brand awareness, engage the audience, and increase website traffic, it entails producing and disseminating interesting content, managing advertising that is paid for campaigns, and communicating with people. Content Marketing: Producing and distributing good and pertinent content is necessary to capture and hold the interest of a target audience. This can include articles, podcasts, infographics, videos, blog posts, and more. The objective is to deliver educational, entertaining, or inspirational content that strengthens brand authority, informs the audience, and encourages interaction and conversions. Email Marketing: Sending customized emails or magazines to a membership list is known as email marketing. It is a productive technique to develop leads, advertise goods or services, cultivate client connections, and encourage sales. Email marketing efforts can be made more effective by using customization, classification, and automation to raise open and click-through rates. Influencer marketing: Influencer marketing uses the notoriety and authority of business leaders or social media influencers to market goods and services. To develop content or promote their brand, marketers work with influencers that have a sizable fan base and sway among their target market. This kind of marketing can aid in boosting brand recognition, credibility, and reach. Affiliate Marketing: Affiliate advertising is based on performance marketing strategy in which companies pay affiliates for each client or visitor that is brought in as a result of their marketing efforts. Affiliates are anyone who uses their connections or platforms to advertise goods or services, including users, influencers, and other companies. Through a community of affiliates who receive compensation for successful recommendations, this kind of marketing can increase reach and boost revenue. Mobile Marketing: As the number of smartphones and applications for mobile devices has grown, mobile marketing has become more important. It encompasses strategies like location-based marketing, in-app advertising, SMS marketing, and mobile advertising. To reach people while they're on the road and offer a smooth mobile experience, marketers customize their marketing strategies for mobile devices. Video Marketing: Video marketing entails producing and disseminating videos to advertise goods, services, or brands. It might take the shape of how-to videos, product showcases, client references, or narratives. Video is a powerful medium for generating brand exposure, engagement, and sales since it is highly interactive and has the ability to go viral. Placement of visible or interactive ads on external websites or platforms is known as display advertising. It consists of native ads, ad pop-ups, and banner ads. To reach a particular audience and raise brand awareness, visual advertisements can be aimed based on their demographics, hobbies, or browsing habits. Remarketing: Remarketing involves retargeting visitors who have previously been to a website or expressed a desire for a product or service. Remarketing is sometimes referred to as retargeting. It enables advertisers to show these consumers personalized adverts when they visit different websites or platforms in an effort to attract them and boost conversions. Influencer marketing: Influencer advertising uses the notoriety and authority of business leaders or social media influencers to market goods and services. To develop content or promote their brand, marketers work with influencers that have a sizable fan base and sway among their target market. This kind of marketing can aid in boosting brand recognition, credibility, and reach. These are just a few of the numerous digital marketing approaches and strategies that are available.

They oversee the management of tasks, plan deadlines and deliverables, and make sure that digital marketing activities are carried out without a hitch. In conclusion, an internet marketer is in charge of developing and executing successful digital advertising campaigns that make use of a variety of channels and technology. In order to generate corporate growth and meet marketing goals, their position comprises creating and running campaigns, optimizing digital resources, analyzing data, and remaining current with the ever changing digital landscape. Inbound Marketing vs. Digital Marketing: Which Is It? Despite some similarities, inbound advertising and digital advertising are two different strategies for marketing. Inbound marketing is a particular methodology within digital marketing, which is a more general phrase that includes many marketing strategies and methods that employ digital channels. Let's explore the distinctions between digital marketing and inbound marketing in more detail. Digital marketing is the practice of promoting goods and services to a target audience through digital channels like search engines, social media, email, websites, and mobile applications. It entails utilizing digital platforms and technologies to raise awareness, promote customer connections, and increase client acquisition. Search engine optimization (SEO), search engine marketing (SEM), social media marketing, content marketing, email marketing, mobile marketing, and other strategies are all included in the broad category of digital marketing. Using online platforms and methods to communicate with clients and prospects is the emphasis of digital marketing. To attract potential customers' attention, it uses tactics like commercials, search engine optimization, social media interaction, and content production. Through digital platforms, digital marketing's main objective is to advertise goods and services and produce leads or sales. Digital marketing is the umbrella term for a specific practice known as inbound marketing. It is a customer-focused approach that strives to draw in, keep, and please customers by offering useful and pertinent experiences and content. Inbound marketing places a significant emphasis on developing trusting relationships with customers in order to increase conversion and customer loyalty. The core tenet of inbound promotion is to draw clients naturally by producing and sharing good content that caters to their wants and requirements. Knowing the buyer's journey is necessary in order to develop content that is appropriate for each step, from awareness to contemplation to decision-making. Blogging, social media interaction, SEO, nurturing leads, and marketing automation are all common inbound marketing techniques. The objectives of inbound marketing are to offer value to the consumers, inform them, deal with their problems, and position the company as an authority. Inbound marketing aims to draw in prospective clients and transform them into customers by putting a strong emphasis on producing relevant and helpful information. Building lasting relationships with customers and encouraging word-of-mouth recommendations are the objectives. Key Differences: Approach: The term "digital marketing" is inclusive of a wide range of online marketing techniques, including both inbound as well as outbound efforts. Inbound marketing, on the other hand, is a specific approach that focuses on luring clients with worthwhile content and experiences. Focus: Digital marketing places a strong emphasis on connecting with and engaging the target audience using a variety of online channels and tactics. On the one hand, inbound marketing strongly emphasizes delivering value and forging connections with clients through individualized and pertinent content.

In conclusion, the phrase "digital marketing" refers to a wider range of marketing strategies and distribution channels that use digital technologies. A particular approach to digital marketing called "inbound marketing" focuses on luring and keeping clients with helpful material and tailored interactions. While both inbound as well as outbound methods are included in digital marketing, inbound marketing is more concerned with establishing long-term connections with clients and offering value.

Hello everyone,

I hope you're doing well. I have some news for you all.

A few months ago I created a threadless account. I haven't launched my website yet. Yet, I am now working with  Tiffany Gilley  to get my store ready. So I can launch a store over on threadless.

At the moment; it will be just some of the current artwork that I've already created. That is available for viewing and merch for purchasing over on redbubble. I will be maintaining both websites though. For both have different artwork seller perks and different merch items available for purchase.

Both have great merch reviews and I thank  Tiffany Gilley  so much for helping me out with this project. Without her; I'd be struggling so much and probably wouldn't load anything for years.

Go check out Tiffany's channel. She does horror game content over there and her content is amazing.

Here is her channel and my threadless store. So you're able to sub to tiff and bookmark/follow me over on threadless. To watch me grow. I'll make an announcement as to when I launch my website. I hope to do so by November of this year.
