A fascist worked out today, did you work out?

A fascist ate 3 full meals today, have you eaten?

A fascist drank water, have you had any water?

Learn first aid, socialize with your community, beat fascistic fear by getting to know the people around you.

So I was googling old tv shows I used to watch, procrastinating on my homework, and guess what show popped into my head, after not seeing it for a very, very, very long time?

The haunting hour.

I only remember that show because it used to be on YTV, at like, 10-11 o'clock at night, and I would watch it. I was really obsessed with the show, even though I barely understood what was going on.

And the nightmares. I used to get really, really bad nightmares after I watched the show, and after like 3 months of me watching it, and getting nightmares of it, my mom enforced a screen-time limit, mainly for shows after 9:00.

And I remember that show so damn much, mainly because of the body horror stuff, and how freaked out I was over it.

Anyways, one of my most vivid memories of the show was this one about this kid who was obsessed with ancient egypt stuff gets frickin. sucked back into time to be essentially another person's body or something??

And I googled it I googled rl stine show ancient egypt and I finally found the name of it. I'm gonna watch that episode, and get me a bit of nostogia

Chaotic Best Friend Headcanons with Hidan

Tags/Warnings: No Reader Pronouns, Canon-Typical Themes and Violence, Partying, Mutual Physical Violence, Name Calling (bitch/asshole/bastard)

𓆃 It quite literally doesn't matter how many brain cells you have on your own. It doesn't even matter if you have a completely different demeanor to Hidan.

𓆃 When you're together, you pass one (1) brain cell back and forth, and the base of your friendship is mutually doing stupid shit together.

𓆃 Hidan will suggest ditching an Akatsuki meeting while someone's mid-monologue, and all it takes for him to start heading toward the door is a nod and a shrug from you.

𓆃 You're constantly dip from places without warning. It's become common knowledge to keep an eye on you, but then again, if someone's keeping an eye on the both of you, it'll only encourage more of your antics.

𓆃 You're constantly hitting each other, or at least trying to. If Hidan says something stupid, it's within the nature of your friendship that you just slap him. Punch him if it's really stupid.

𓆃 He's not afraid to break out the weaponry if you're having a serious fued. All kinds of injuries are fair game.

𓆃 But no matter how heated your argument gets, they never last for long. You're making up pretending nothing happened almost an hour later, if that.

𓆃 If anything, you'll talk about the injuries you gave each other in a half-complaint and half with admiration.

𓆃 You're almost never separated, and the time you spend together is usually spent playing made-up games with obscure rules.

𓆃 One of these games, most commonly played on missions, includes the highest kill count per outing which includes bonus points based on where the kill shot landed.

𓆃 This game has been outright banned by the leadership, because oftentimes to even the score, you make kills that are outside of the target demographic.

𓆃 Not to mention how at least Hidan tends to call out his points loudly.

𓆃 He oftentimes needs his calculations corrected, and will turn combative when you imply that his numbers are lower than they actually are.

𓆃 It's likely that you'll end up engaging in combat with each other until you inevitably realize that your catch got away. Then, it's an even more insufferable game of chasing the same target.

𓆃 The survivor will meet their end while you're fighting over them.

𓆃 You'll also bicker constantly over information, whether it's right, and what the details are. Doing tasks together is almost impossible given how often Hidan misunderstands basic information.

𓆃 But for as much as you fight with each other, no one should dare fuck with either of you and expect to survive.

𓆃 Sure, Hidan can call you an asshole and a bitch, but if that random guy at the bar dares call you names, Hidan isn't wasting any time making a killing blow.

𓆃 "Hey! I'm the only bastard who can call that asshole a bitch!"

𓆃 Hidan's also down to roll with whatever idea you ever have. If you want to go burn a whole village down because your date stood you up, Hidan is picking himself off the couch and grabbing his cloak because, "What else is he going to do?"

𓆃 He's also 100% ride or die and willing to go along with the longest plans if it means fun. 3 day bender? Hidan's not doing anything else.

𓆃 Don't want to go to the club alone? Hidan already knows the bartender and can get you free drinks.

𓆃 Want to make your ex jealous and pretend you have a new boyfriend, Hidan is down for a photoshoot.

𓆃 He can be a little too ride or die. He's bound to get arrested at some point for picking fights, but it's undeniable that he makes plenty of exceptions for you and your word.

Thank you to all who liked, reblogged, followed, and supported. Your support means so much and is greatly appreciated.

Notes: The soundtrack for theses headcanons is "Aliyah's Interlude - IT GIRL" on repeat. I had to find this song to write these headcanons to and I set it on loop until I was done.

If you could make your own video game (think of an idea l and it just snaps into existence somehow) what would it be about and what mechanics would it consist of? What platforms would it be available for? Who's the target demographic? Or anything else you want to ramble about... I like to think of creating my own games sometimes.

haha they dont know i have a joke rpg game i made in a day to test my abilities.

in all seriousness though, i actually did have bigger projects that i never finished... so, just gonna drop that i'm a big fan of RPG maker games, horror ones, PSYCHOLOGICAL horror ones for even better score. and i am kind of a liiiittle experienced with rpg maker.

warning!!

this answer ended up containing a lot of sensitive topics(in my opinion??) and i tried my best to make sure to include them in tags AND before each idea's explanation, please check the tags and not proceed if those topics are sensitive to you personally!!

i had a project that i started making as a vent. that's the closest i had to actually making something. it was called zepphire's lair. zepphire is my sona from 2015 that had very bright neon colours that were probably UNBEARABLE to look at, then i tried redesigning her years later into something pastel. and then, umm... in 2022 i had issues with my style because i used to be VERY caught in 'oh,,,this one line is weird,,,how do people even like my art there's a stray pixel there...god.' and decided to do something about it. this 'something about it' was changing my art style to PURPOSEFULLY unpleasant to look at, messy and annoying. it was bright, i didnt care, and honestly i think it helped with being that critical to myself. anyways. sorry im rambling but it is important

so in 2022, when i had a giant relief of drawing in the most unbearable(and stunning at the same time) art style, i reused zepphire. FUCK PASTEL said me. NEONS ARE GOOD. it was a great decision.

so zepphire's lair was meant to be an rpg game where you play as zepphire. who in her head is still her young self that doesn't have to think about what happened. but in reality, her magical world she was meant to become a god of was destroyed and ruined because she wasn't responsible enough with powers granted to her. she is now the only resident of the Forbidden Location, an alternative world that people could get into by just clipping randomly. like you know when you find a spot in a videogame that doesn't have an invisible wall and you go OH. that. i wasn't sure how to continue working on it because it lacked story to tell as present. it had a past story to unfold, but i had no idea what would happen now. i had a thought of someone getting into FL somehow after long time and zepphire trying to solve this because they're clearly not meant to be there while in her head she's still stuck struggling with herself.

i want to put a little bit of assets i made for zepphire's lair, but since it's all very bright toxic neon i think i'm gonna place them at the veeeery end so you don't have to look at them if you can't stand it.

CW: cartoon blood!! a little bit of it!!

next up is my cool idea of a fangame! so, purrfect apawcalypse is one of my favourite game series. and i've been following it since first one and i have a LARGE fanmade setting set in the same universe! (in fact, two! i also made a reference for kitsune high which is set to be in an agricultural town inhabitated by foxes! it was a cool project)

the game idea was to make an rpg (because, again, that's all i know, lmao) that follows the Chatting club - a school interest club literally dedicated to rumors and just having a good time - as they unveil the secrets their school holds. cats and dogs disappearance cases? rumors of ghost around? who the heck lives in the garden and what're they up to? what is up with the Detective club's president Seraphima? there are many mysteries. it would have an overall vibe of the original novellas' series - a cutesy game about very cute furries and weird magic stuff happening, while also having a little bit...darker tone. like i was actually going to explore a very dark topic with this one but honestly? right now i really don't like the way i wrote it back then. if i were to pick up the idea again i deffo would try to rewrite it and make more sense into it. i like the detective vibe it had going though!

here are some references of the characters that are important to the plot! a lot of twists were planned for this story and i'm not going to tell them all because it's a secret tee-hee.

also as i searched for the refs i found that the working title of the game was 'purrfect meowting'

another concept for a game i had...which is a lot.

CW: contains themes of child neglect, probably abuse, general cat mistreatment, probably a bit of ableism(im unsure about this one) and maybe a bit of weird racism because one of mc's character's parent is weird and very stupid and we are allowed to hate her for that...i hope i mentioned it all.

i have a little ocs setting with three main characters that i refer as 'kitty girls' this story is tragic and is based on idea i had about making a story...about girls...but put them into life situations that would reflect what cats sometimes have to go through bc some humans are trash, but put it through a human lens, although not exactly. it also ended up a story that portrays children who've lost their childhoods for various reasons. idk how to explain.

these are Snowwhite, Rouge and Patches. their names were meant to be reflecting what another one's kitty sona is, but i fucked up, lol.

Showwhite is a picture perfect girl for her parents who's mostly been treated as a prize all her life, making her feel sick of herself. Rouge was neglected by her mom because 'she wasn't born red'(as in orange...like a cat...i used cat allegories every time i explained it but i think the implications are clear enough - her mother wanted her to look different.) and she lived a happy life with her grandparents. and Patches...is a deaf girl whose parents just couldn't take care of her properly so she ended up in an orphanage. she has awful attachment issues.

i won't explain the whole plot but their stories were meant to be kind of a portrayal of how some people treat animals as just objects, things they can just get rid of. a cat of specific breed, bred for specific traits which may be hurtful to it, a cat whose owner just threw it away after it not meeting the expectations, and a general theme of people not wanting to take in cats with injuries that make them 'not pretty' for them. i don't know why im tearing up right now but these make me so upset and i smh wanted to portray these issues though human characters, and while adapting them i realized that those awful stories ended up overlapping with how neglectful parents end up treating their children.

in the end they end up in cat heaven, where they all meet and get to be happy and be themselves. snowwhite learns to love herself for who she is and find out hobbies there, rouge just finally gets friends she lacked. also patches doesn't magically start hearing in cat heaven, she was given an option to but she felt overwhelmed a lot and ended up sticking to being deaf but not treating it as a bad thing, just a different thing.

BONUS SECTION

i also have this unused character and concept art that i just made bc i finally felt like i could do something back in the day

her working name was 'vogel'

so. returning to zepphire's lair. one thing i forgot to mention earlier is that i also even made OST for it (didn't feel like it would fit the text above). this one is just the theme that plays in the first playable area

main menu theme...is too heavy for tumblr apparently. huh. it's a very simple tune it just goes on for very long (bc there's an easter egg if you listen to it for too long!!!)

next section contains bright images that im gonna put even deeper below!!

title screen!

intro cutscene! small baby zepphire, and then zepphire acquiring her godmode key, and then ending up becoming a photoshooter!! the camera is important .

here she is!!! the cat herself!!!

a photo that she has in her inventory!! it's mewtona, her sister!

gameplay-wise i was gonna make it so you can collect random photos zepphire made and have to learn the implications of that and what it has to do with 'the photoshooting incident'. it would be somewhat close to omori - part of story is in reality and parts of it in headspace that explains the story.

I THINK that's all. sorry this took so long that was a lot of yapping!!!

[pinkprettycure]

I was thinking that Crunchyroll is a really bad site for kids anime because it lacks any good age filters or categories but now that I'm browsing the site it's just dogshit for anime fans in general imo??

this is the genre tags we have, it's extremely small and general tbh The shows also aren't properly tagged all the time so you might click on something and not see it in there because it wasn't tagged.

For example A Sign of Affection is tagged with "Romance" ONLY. so you can't find it in the shojo tag at all. The way they're defined is up to god as well because they have shows that aren't shojo under the shojo tag and whether or not a show even gets tagged with it seems based on if they remember it exists cuz you might argue maybe My Love Story isn't tagged shojo cuz the protag is male and there's a misconception that shojo = female protag, but Super Lovers is a BL and it IS in there.

It's not based on the magazines they ran in (Skip and Loafer is under shojo but ran in a seinen magazine) and it's not based on the protagonist's gender because Super Lover's is a BL and tagged shojo, and its not even based on like, whether or not the demographic is female regardless of if it's magazine (Precure is a girls anime first series and IS tagged shojo but Brother's Conflict targets girls as well and ISN'T tagged as shojo.)

Under shojo is a subcategory for magical girls which you already see a large glaringly obvious problem here right off the bat, only the very first precure is even in it.

Since MG is a subcategory of "shojo" it means that any non-shojo magical girls aren't in it, not that it matters since it's utterly lacking in shojo magical girls as well, this is NOT their only selections, they have for shojo magical girls, they have a bunch of Precure of course, Creamy Mami, Fancy Lala, Minky Momo, a few Pretty series shows, and Acro Trip off the top of my head.

Magical Girl IMO shouldnt be a subcategory at all, it should be it's own genre category and they should include everything under the umbrella in there regardless of demographic and then have subcategories such as shojo, ecchi, or idol underneath THAT. Madoka, Spec-ops Asuka, and Boueibu SHOULD be possible to locate under the same category as Sailor Moon and not just by digging through a massive generic tag like "Fantasy"

Mecha is a similar problem where it's a sub category under Sci-fi instead of it's own genre tag, I do think Mecha makes sense as subtag way more than MG does and at least it has a healthy amount of shows in its subcategory but it really should be it's own thing with it's own subtags, doesn't have to be just like, super and real robot it could be for stuff like whether it has heavy romance or the settings like if the battles primarily are in space like Gundam 79 vs in a fantasy isekai world like Escaflowne.

There isn't a tag for BL or Yuri at all, Super Lovers like I mentioned before is tagged as Shojo but Junjou Romantica is tagged as Drama and Romance and Love Stage is only tagged with Romance.

These shows are all way too hard to find if you don't know where to look or what to look for, and a fan who wants to find something new to watch will have little luck since their favorite genres either don't exist or aren't tagged properly, you can't really search unless the genre is in the name and you still get irrelevant shows in the search. So looking for "Yuri" gets you "Yuri on Ice" and not Strawberry Panic, and the "more like this" carousel is hit or miss on if it shows anything relevant. I saw Quintessential Quintuplets and Rent-A-Girlfriend under the recommendations for Citrus and I imagine anyone watching infamous yuri anime Citrus is not interested in a het harem with a male lead or whatever the fuck is going on with rent a girlfriend.

like its one thing imo for Hulu and Netflix to just slap a bunch of anime under one tag and call it a day but a site targeted specifically toward nerds that's trying to be THEE one stop spot for all things anime and japanese media? this is fucking embarrassing.

Happy Early Halloween, Chat!

By chat I mean @leiflitter (I know you're in output mode! You go, Leif's output mode; just courtesy-tagging 😁) @nbymop @rwoh @spacecasehobbit—and @wolfiso who might still be seeking out ghost stories.

I mentioned wanting to start a book club on the Fable app, and while I'm still discovering some stumbling blocks (app is sensitive to dropped connections so I often have to re-type and post twice after refreshing; the Book Quotes feature doesn't go beyond maybe 350 keystrokes; I never loved star ratings but the emoji rating is too limited and ambiguous too; only 10 tags allowed across so many different rubrics; filling out the Book Review form feels like being a research subject of a target demographic focus group, the Book Club thread-post format I think is less conducive to broader discussions about the books such as racism and disability representation and/or queer readings across a variety of works in the gothic novel "canon"...and then encouraging one another with writing, which was half my motivation for starting up a reading club in the first place, but there's not much wiggle room for customization...)

uh

maybe Fable's list function is better. Yeah. I'm gonna go with sharing my lists.

...I hope it doesn't force link-clickers to make an account before you get to see these lists, because what's the point of the list settings being Public if it's not going to be public Public?

And I don't put this up to imply that anyone reading must read all of them. This is more like, the book club could've been a wine cellar—so I appreciate recommendations because what I do have is still aggressively Anglo.

[screenshot of tweet by @MumblinDeafRo that says: "I said this before, but I try not to think of it as a TBR pile but more like a wine cellar. You try & time the right combination of mood, energy & interest, so that you pick a book when you have the best chance of getting along with it. That's what the writer prefers too." ]

Amontillado under Keep Reading cut.

Early Gothic — The Castle of Otranto (more inspired by medieval chivalric romances and I think the author even tried to pass it off as one; but in all my research everyone says this was the first gothic novel), The Castles of Athlin and Dunbayne (I think was still low-key riding Otranto's coattails in addition to taking inspiration from it, not that that's a bad thing), The Castle of Wolfenbach (now we're getting somewhere), The Mysteries of Udolpho (oh Anne Radcliffe we're really in it now, and by it I mean a literary genre that was new in like 1790 CE), Glenarvon (the earliest instance of a "Byronic" character I could find that wasn't literally Lord George Gordon Byron's self-insert), The Monk (of all the gothic novels that stirred up controversy, this one was the most stirred up controversiest), Northanger Abbey (oh Jane Austen we're really in it now), Fantasmagoriana: Geschichten der Toten (translated from German to French by Jean-Baptiste Benoît Eyriès, not really on this list to read but rather to say oh George Gordon Byron we're really in it now), The Vampyre (the second instance of a "Byronic" character that I've heard about) and Frankenstein.

I elected to leave out a lot that was on Jane Austen's characters' reading lists in Northanger Abbey (Necromancer of the Black Forest, Carl Grosse's Horrid Mysteries, The Italian, The Mysterious Warning, Clermont, The Midnight Bell, and Orphan of the Rhine) because Northanger Abbey was already there, and to include some nonfiction such as Richard Hurd's "Letters on Chivalry and Romance" that was Hurd's observations on that genre's development, as well as Idée sur les Romans by Worst Human Being of the Century award-winner Marquis Donatien Alphonse François de Sade.

Midcentury and Victorian/Edwardian era Gothic — I didn't actually know whether to put The Last Man by Mary Shelley in the Early Gothic list or if 1826 can count as "midcentury". As it stands, this list begins with A Priest in 1839 by Jules Verne (written in the mid/late 1840s but not published until...1992? and unfinished), Notre-Dame de Paris by Victor Hugo, assorted novels by the Brontë sisters, The Marble Faun by Nathaniel Hawthorne, Carmilla, Dracula, Clemence Housman's Werewolf, Frances Hodgson Burnett's sort of cozy gothic kid lit, The Phantom of the Opera and The Picture of Dorian Gray.

I really wanted to add Moby Dick and Karl Heinrich Ulrichs's Manor to this list but I think "nautical gothic" could practically be its own thing.

[sailoragere]

Hello, and welcome to the sweet home base of #sailoragere. (Promise I’m not a witch!) /ref

I'll be your host, Serendipity. Dipsy for short. If you didn’t read up there in my bio already, I’m white, and an autistic adult who is currently 25. You may be wondering,

“What is #sailoragere?”

It is to be an established hashtag to share and create age regression content related to Sailor Moon.

After close to a decade of shying away and being kinda desperate for agere stuff of my special interest, I felt brave enough to create this blog for the purpose of breaching--er..bridging the gap.

What will be featured? What can I post in the tag? What can I ask you/talk to you about?

Lots of things! For starters,

💗 Artwork!

💙 Fanfiction/Headcanons (AUs are encouraged)

❤️ Moodboards

💚 Outfit collages

🧡 Stimboards

and whatever else can be thought of!

(All versions/iterations of Sailor Moon are encouraged: Manga, 90s Anime, Crystal/Eternal/Cosmos, PGSM, CD Dramas, Stageplays, etc.)

On the blog itself, there will be a focus on positive posts, cute things such as plushies, toys, stimboards, stimming in general, aesthetics, “-cores,” that remind me of the characters and their canon culture. I will also be sharing my own works from time to time.

Sailor Moon used to be marketed primarily towards children in its American market in the 90s, but you may or may not have known that its Japanese target demographic used to be children as well!! There’s a seemingly endless amount of cute little trinkets and merchandise that appeal to me, therefore I’ll be sharing some of it here, too.

As for you, if you prefer to stay low or are just feeling shy/anxious, it’s okay. Just swap to Anonymous in the ask box and we can assign you an emoji to better accommodate you! (Please keep in mind I am chronically ill and will likely take a while to respond!)

I’d love to see what others come up with, and find fellow fans of Sailor Moon who also regress! Please spread the word by reblogging this post! (I could really actually use a boost)

Please click "keep reading" before following/interacting with this blog or hashtag! Don’t fall under any of the below and you’re good to to use the tag / interact!

‼️ The following will not be allowed nor tolerated. (In no particular order of importance:)

💔Pedophiles/Zoophiles/"MAPS"/"NOMAPS"/RADQUEERS

Self-explanatory.

💔Anti-antis"/"Proshippers"/Pro-fic/"Problematics" (literally so many different ways of putting this nowadays...)

Also self-explanatory.

💔Racism towards black, indigenous, and POC.

This will apply to any content shared within the blog or hashtag. Don’t drag others down for headcanoning or depicting a certain character as mixed Asian. Just so long as their canon Japanese culture and race are not being erased, anything goes. Anti-racist is the way to be.

💔Homophobia/Transphobia (TERF, Radfem, etc).

We love and support the LGBTQ+ community in this space. It’s totally valid to express gender and/or affectional orientation through your favorite characters. Romantic and/or platonic shipping is encouraged! (But please understand that shipping in a sexual context will never be allowed here or in the tag.)

💔Ableism towards autistic people (otherwise known as autmisia), or any other disability.

This includes anything relating to autism or disabilities be it a headcanon, piece of art or someone using the hashtag! The very person behind this blog is disabled and wishes to cultivate a diverse and inclusive environment for disabled systems, system littles, regressors, carers, and other individuals.

💔 Equating diapers to only a kink/fetish and/or something to make fun of/something that degrades a person.

They're inherently a disability aid, so they will always be included here!! Be ableist elsewhere. Same in bold goes for any other disability aids.

💔 Sexualizing age regression/agere and/or supporting others that do so.

Adult topics are not appropriate here and therefore will not be brought up. This is meant to be a space to escape and heal from that sort of trauma. (Personal to the admins in particular)

Speaking of trauma, that sort of discussion will be allowed, too, as age regression tendencies often stem from it. And these characters have been through it. Said content will of course be tagged accordingly. ^^

While this blog is fiction focused, above all, we care about the world and the people in it. The intention is to do that by sharing important posts about current events. I will tag those specific posts with warnings and #not agere just to be safe.

If I catch anyone misusing the tag for any of the above, you will be blocked! Please respect our boundaries for my sake and a lot of yours! With this all said, I cannot put forth the energy to scrutinize every single follower or interaction online anymore due to it becoming damaging for my mental health!

Play it safe and be kind to others!

"10 Digital Marketing Hacks That Will Boost Your ROI"

10 Digital Marketing Hacks That Will Boost Your ROI

In today’s competitive digital landscape, maximizing your return on investment (ROI) from digital marketing is crucial for business growth. With limited budgets and an overwhelming amount of marketing options, businesses need smart strategies to ensure every dollar spent brings measurable results. Here are 10 digital marketing hacks that can help you boost your ROI and achieve better results from your campaigns.

1. Leverage Data Analytics for Smart Decision-Making

One of the most effective ways to maximize ROI is by making data-driven decisions. Use tools like Google Analytics, social media insights, and email marketing reports to analyze your campaigns and understand what’s working and what’s not. Track key metrics such as conversion rates, click-through rates (CTR), and customer acquisition costs to make informed decisions about where to allocate your resources for the best return.

2. Refine Your Target Audience with Segmentation

Not all customers are the same, so why should your marketing efforts treat them that way? Segment your audience based on factors like demographics, interests, and behavior. This will allow you to send more personalized and relevant messages, which are proven to improve conversion rates. Tailored content and offers lead to higher engagement, translating into better ROI.

3. Optimize Your Website for Conversions

Your website is the heart of your digital marketing efforts, and it must be optimized for conversions. Use A/B testing to test different headlines, layouts, and calls to action (CTAs) to find what drives the best results. A streamlined user experience (UX) and fast loading times are also key to reducing bounce rates and improving your chances of converting visitors into customers.

4. Focus on Quality Content Over Quantity

Creating high-quality content that resonates with your audience is more important than churning out tons of posts. Well-researched, engaging, and informative content tends to perform better on search engines and social media, driving organic traffic. Rather than focusing on sheer volume, invest time in creating content that answers your audience's pain points and showcases your expertise, ensuring higher engagement and ROI.

5. Use Retargeting Ads to Convert Warm Leads

Retargeting ads are a powerful tool to boost conversions and ROI. By showing ads to people who have already interacted with your website or social media profiles, you can stay top of mind and encourage them to complete a purchase. Since these individuals have already shown interest, the chances of conversion are much higher, making retargeting one of the most cost-effective ways to drive revenue.

6. Implement Email Marketing Automation

Email marketing automation can significantly improve your ROI by allowing you to nurture leads more efficiently. Set up automated email sequences that engage your leads based on their actions, such as signing up for a newsletter, downloading an eBook, or abandoning a cart. Personalized follow-ups and targeted promotions increase the likelihood of conversions and can lead to higher customer retention rates.

7. Optimize for Local SEO

Local SEO is a goldmine for businesses that rely on local customers. Make sure your business is listed on Google My Business, and ensure your website is optimized with local keywords. Include your location in title tags, meta descriptions, and content to increase visibility in local search results. Local searchers are more likely to convert into customers, so improving local SEO can significantly boost your ROI.

8. Use Social Proof to Build Trust

People trust other people, so use social proof to boost credibility and drive conversions. Display customer testimonials, reviews, and case studies on your website and social media channels. User-generated content (UGC), such as photos and videos of your products in use, can also build trust and help convert prospects into customers.

9. Capitalize on Influencer Partnerships

Influencer marketing isn’t just for big brands. By collaborating with micro-influencers who have smaller, niche followings, you can reach a highly engaged audience at a fraction of the cost. Influencers can help you promote your products authentically and boost your credibility, which can lead to increased sales and improved ROI.

10. Prioritize Mobile Optimization

With more consumers shopping and browsing on mobile devices, optimizing your website and ads for mobile is essential. Ensure that your website is responsive, loads quickly, and provides a seamless user experience on all devices. Mobile-friendly websites lead to better engagement, higher conversions, and ultimately, improved ROI.

Conclusion

In today’s fast-paced digital world, optimizing your digital marketing strategy is key to achieving a higher ROI. By leveraging data, targeting the right audience, optimizing your website, and utilizing tactics like retargeting, influencer partnerships, and email marketing automation, you can significantly increase your marketing effectiveness and bottom line. By focusing on these digital marketing hacks, businesses of all sizes can see more significant returns on their investments and stay ahead of the competition.

The problems with JVP, Part 1

By Elizabeth Wolf on Facebook

Since I’m already pissing people off, I guess it’s a good time to post about Jewish Voice for Peace. I’ll put links in the comments.

Part 1

Like a very different organization, Moms for Liberty, the name is deceptive. You do not have to be a mom to start a chapter of Moms for Liberty, and you don’t have to be Jewish to start a chapter of Jewish Voice for Peace. Moms for Liberty is about a very specific interpretation of liberty that many would disagree with, and Jewish Voice for Peace promotes a very specific type of peace that you could easily mistake for its opposite.

This is why you see JVFP having Hanukkah events that are not actually during Hanukkah, lighting the candles incorrectly, fundraising on Shabbat (when many Jews do not handle money), and saying things that are theologically inaccurate about Judaism. People who know very little about Judaism can start a chapter, join a chapter, or run social media for a chapter, and then say they speak for Jews. This is how you end up with a Lebanese gentile being admin for their Facebook page. This is how you end up with an openly antisemitic Muslim making social media posts under their account, starting with the phrase, “As a Jew.” This is how you end up with temple denial and misrepresentations of the Torah floating around, apparently given the stamp of approval by a group of Jews.

“But JVFP has a rabbinic oversight board,” you might say. “Surely they are making sure the individual chapters are not out of line.” Well, I have no idea what that board is doing, but it’s not providing oversight to individual chapters. For example, it is easy to find people from JVFP saying that Israel is a white European colonial project, and for this reason, the Mizrahi community and Ethiopian Jews have explicitly spoken against them. The JVFP web site, however, clearly acknowledges that over half of the Israeli population is not white. JVFP social media accounts tolerate the verbal abuse of Jews and even targets members of mainstream Judaism with harassment, so that you’ll have a Black Jew being called a bloodthirsty white colonizer by non-Jews, ostensibly in the name of both Judaism and peace. I’ve seen Black Jews call this out and tag rabbis from the oversight board on this kind of activity and get no reply.

I’ll add to this that almost all the rabbis on this board are Reconstructionist rabbis, with a couple of Reform rabbis. If that doesn’t mean anything to you, I guess a good comparison would be a group claiming to speak for Christians but only having Seventh Day Adventists on its board, plus a couple of Congregationalists. I am absolutely not criticizing these denominations (I belong to one!) but rather saying that it’s disingenuous to claim you represent Jews in general when you’ve excluded most major branches of Judaism and only barely included another, preferring to have numerous student rabbis from one denomination instead of somebody with ordination from any of the others. This is especially so since a prized value in Judaism is the ability to hold space for multiple opinions or perspectives on a topic (“two Jews, three opinions”) and using these disagreements as learning opportunities.

There is definitely not oversight happening around things pretty much all Jews do agree on, though. For example, JVFP chapters stating that there never was a temple in Jerusalem, or that Passover is only about metaphorical liberation, or that tisha b’av should stop being observed. You can look up where the student rabbis are currently enrolled and see the official positions of these institutions and observe for yourself that what JVFP is saying does not line up. What is the oversight board actually doing? I’m not sure.

The official Recon position is that there was a temple and its destruction is still noted.

There are different types of affiliate programs, such as pay-per-click (PPC), where you earn a commission for each click on your affiliate link; pay-per-lead (PPL), where you earn a commission for each lead generated; and pay-per-sale (PPS), where you earn a commission for each sale made through your referral.

Create a website or blog: Set up a dedicated platform where you can promote affiliate products. Choose a domain name, register hosting, and build your website using platforms like WordPress or Wix.

Content creation: Create valuable and engaging content that appeals to your target audience. Write blog posts, product reviews, and tutorials that provide useful information and insights related to the products you promote.

SEO optimization: Optimize your website for search engines by using relevant keywords, creating meta tags, and building quality backlinks. This will help improve your website's visibility and attract organic traffic.

IV. Promoting Affiliate Products

Social media marketing: Leverage the power of social media platforms to promote your affiliate products. Create compelling posts, engage with your audience, and use relevant hashtags to expand your reach.

Email marketing campaigns: Build an email list of subscribers interested in your niche. Send regular newsletters, product updates, and exclusive offers to your subscribers to cultivate a loyal audience and boost affiliate sales.

Paid advertising: Consider using paid advertising channels like Google Ads or social media ads to reach a broader audience. Set a budget, target specific demographics, and track the performance of your ads to optimize your results.

V. Maximizing Affiliate Earnings

Build trust and credibility: Establish trust with your audience by being transparent and honest in your product recommendations. Provide genuine reviews, personal experiences, and valuable insights to build credibility.

Conversion optimization: Optimize your affiliate marketing efforts by using persuasive copywriting techniques, creating compelling calls-to-action, and designing effective landing pages. Continuously test and refine your strategies to improve your conversion rates.

Tracking and analytics: Track the performance of your affiliate links using analytics tools like Google Analytics or affiliate network dashboards.This will provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of your promotional efforts, allowing you to make data-driven decisions and optimize your affiliate marketing strategy.

What is the major difference in SEO and social media promotion?

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and social media promotion are two distinct strategies used in digital marketing, with different goals and approaches. Here are the major differences between them:

Objective:

SEO: The primary objective of SEO is to improve the visibility and ranking of a website in search engine results pages (SERPs). It aims to attract organic (non-paid) traffic by optimizing the website's content, structure, and other factors that search engines consider when determining rankings. Social Media Promotion: The main objective of social media promotion is to increase brand awareness, engagement, and reach on social media platforms. It focuses on utilizing social media channels to interact with the audience, share content, build a community, and drive traffic to the website.

Targeting:

SEO: SEO targets search engine users who actively search for specific keywords or topics. The goal is to appear in relevant search results and attract users who have expressed an intent related to the website's content. Social Media Promotion: Social media promotion targets users on specific social media platforms. The targeting can be based on demographic information, interests, behaviors, or other criteria. It aims to reach and engage users within their social media feeds.

Channels and Platforms:

SEO: SEO primarily focuses on optimizing websites for search engines like Google, Bing, or Yahoo. It involves on-page optimization (e.g., keyword research, meta tags, content optimization) and off-page optimization (e.g., link building, social signals). Social Media Promotion: Social media promotion utilizes various social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, or Pinterest. Each platform has its own set of features, audience demographics, and content formats.

Content and Format:

SEO: SEO content is typically focused on web pages, blog articles, and other textual formats optimized for search engines. It aims to provide valuable and relevant information to the target audience while incorporating relevant keywords. Social Media Promotion: Social media promotion involves diverse content formats, including text posts, images, videos, stories, live streams, and interactive content. It emphasizes visual appeal, concise messaging, and shareability to capture users' attention in a fast-paced social media environment.

Traffic Generation:

SEO: SEO generates organic traffic, meaning visitors who find the website through search engine results without paid advertising. It aims to attract users with higher intent and potentially long-term engagement. Social Media Promotion: Social media promotion can generate both organic and paid traffic. Organic traffic comes from users who engage with the content shared on social media, while paid traffic is driven through targeted advertisements and sponsored posts.

Time and Effort:

SEO: SEO is a long-term strategy that requires ongoing optimization, monitoring, and adjustments. It can take time to see significant results as search engine rankings are influenced by various factors and algorithms. Social Media Promotion: Social media promotion can yield quicker results in terms of engagement and visibility. The content shared on social media platforms can reach a broader audience rapidly, especially when boosted through paid promotions.

It's important to note that while SEO and social media promotion have distinct differences, they are not mutually exclusive strategies. They can complement each other as part of an integrated digital marketing approach, with each contributing to overall online presence and visibility.

Leverage YouTube SEO: Optimize your videos for SEO by using relevant keywords in your video titles, descriptions, and tags. This will help your videos rank higher in search results, making it more likely that people will discover your content. Additionally, you can use YouTube's built-in analytics to track the performance of your videos and see which keywords are driving the most views.

Experiment with different formats and styles: Not all content formats work for all channels, so it's important to experiment with different formats and styles to see what resonates with your audience. Try out different video lengths, formats (such as vlogs, how-to videos, reviews, etc.), and styles (such as animation, live-action, or a mix of both) to see what works best for you. This will help you to identify what your audience likes and allow you to create more of the content they prefer.

In summary, growing a YouTube channel requires a combination of creating quality content, promoting your channel, engaging with your audience, utilizing analytics, and being patient. By following these tips and staying consistent, you'll be well on your way to building a successful YouTube channel.

It's also worth noting that it's important to keep up to date with the changes and new features on YouTube, as well as the trends in your niche, to create better content and reach a wider audience.

Balancing Creativity and SEO in Content Development

In the realm of digital marketing, finding the perfect balance between creativity and search engine optimization (SEO) is essential for creating content that not only captivates audiences but also ranks well in search engine results. While creativity fuels engagement and brand storytelling, SEO ensures that content is discoverable and reaches the right audience. In this article, we'll explore the importance of balancing creativity and SEO in content development and provide strategies for achieving harmony between the two.

The Importance of Creativity:

Creativity is the driving force behind engaging and memorable content. It allows brands to tell their story, connect with audiences on an emotional level, and differentiate themselves from competitors. Creative content sparks curiosity, inspires action, and fosters brand loyalty. Whether it's through captivating visuals, compelling narratives, or innovative ideas, creativity is what sets great content apart from the rest.

The Role of SEO:

SEO ensures that your creative content gets discovered by the right audience. By optimizing content for search engines, you increase its visibility and ranking in search results, driving organic traffic and attracting potential customers. SEO involves keyword research, on-page optimization, technical optimization, and link building, all aimed at improving the relevance and authority of your content in the eyes of search engines.

Strategies for Balancing Creativity and SEO:

1. Start with Audience Insights: Understand your target audience's interests, preferences, and pain points. Use audience research to inform your content ideas and ensure that your creative concepts resonate with your target demographic. 2. Keyword Research with Creativity: Conduct keyword research to identify relevant search terms and topics. Use creativity to incorporate these keywords naturally into your content without sacrificing readability or compromising your brand voice. 3. Craft Compelling Headlines: Create attention-grabbing headlines that are both creative and optimized for SEO. Use power words, emotional triggers, and numbers to pique curiosity and entice clicks while including relevant keywords for search engines. 4. Tell Stories with SEO in Mind: Craft compelling narratives and storytelling elements while keeping SEO best practices in mind. Incorporate keywords strategically throughout your content, especially in headings, subheadings, and meta tags, to improve search visibility without detracting from the storytelling experience. 5. Optimize Multimedia Content: Whether it's videos, images, infographics, or podcasts, optimize multimedia content for both creativity and SEO. Use descriptive file names, alt text, and captions to enhance accessibility and improve search engine indexing. 6. Ensure Readability and User Experience: Prioritize readability and user experience in your content design and formatting. Break up content into digestible chunks, use bullet points and lists, and incorporate visual elements to enhance comprehension and engagement. 7. Promote Social Sharing and Backlinks: Encourage social sharing and backlinking by creating content that is shareable, informative, and valuable to your audience. Build relationships with influencers and industry partners to amplify your content's reach and authority. 8. Monitor and Adapt: Continuously monitor the performance of your content using analytics tools. Track key metrics such as organic traffic, engagement rates, and conversion metrics to assess the effectiveness of your creative and SEO efforts. Adapt your content strategy based on data-driven insights and audience feedback.

Conclusion

Balancing creativity and SEO in content development requires a strategic approach that integrates creative storytelling with SEO best practices. By understanding the importance of creativity in engaging audiences and the role of SEO in driving discoverability, brands can create content that resonates with both humans and search engines. Embrace creativity as a catalyst for innovation and differentiation, while leveraging SEO techniques to ensure that your content reaches its full potential and achieves measurable results. Strive for harmony between creativity and SEO in your content development process, and you'll create compelling, impactful content that stands out in the digital landscape.
