Case Study — How Content Ownership Affects The Content Distribution Process
By: Danish Jainuddin Desai
Tags: Content Creation, Blogging, Content, Content Distribution, Content Marketing

Content Distribution is the act of selling content to various online audiences via multiple channels in different media formats. These channels can be classified into three categories: Owned, Paid, and Free. In this article, we will discuss the importance of content ownership as well as its impact on the overall functioning of the distribution channels.

Content ownership refers to the control one has over the content distribution. It basically implies the right to decide what goes on where, when, how, as well as with whom. Therefore, those who own content distribution channels have an upper hand over their competitors. As a result of this, many different players enter the game by offering different kinds of products or services at varied prices and time spans. This scenario leaves everyone, marketers included, confused as to what to do and how to proceed.

So how does this situation affect the content distribution? In a word, it makes life difficult for the player who has no control over the distribution but must compete with many different players for a limited pie. For example, in a case study we will be looking at a website that allows its clients to create and upload their own videos for free. The clients, in this case, would want to upload videos explaining their product or service so as to draw more customers to their website. If the website owner does not have the control over the process, he/she would find it very difficult to get his/her video uploaded on the video sites, hence losing out on potential customers.
Do You Get Excited About Your Articles?
By: Tochukwu Okoro E.
Tags: Growth, Mindset, Content, Writing, Content Marketing

Sometimes I write articles and get excited about them. I’d go over them several times and just be admiring my work.

This made me reduce how frequently I published because I always checked to see if I was excited about it or not. I had this sensor to know which one would do well and which wouldn’t.

Looking back, I don’t think it was the best strategy because many of those I admired articles didn’t do well. Maybe I’ll put out 5 articles, believing that they’ll all do well, and to my surprise, they all end up average. And the ones that I least expected will be the best-performing ones.

It continued that way for weeks. Until I stopped caring and just went on with the wave.

My reason for doing that was pretty obvious. The content I’m letting rot in my draft will be useful to someone.

They came to my mind for a reason, so letting them go to waste wasn’t the best thing to do.

So, from then on, my strategy changed.
ANNA-BOLIC, the name of the metaphorical mothership created by Greg Doucette, that has blown up the planet of dieting.

Tags: Fitness, Nutrition, Social Media, Content

The fitness industry has seen many stars emerge over the 21rst Century. David Laid, Christian Guzman, Steve Cook, the list goes on and on. Although these stalwarts have dominated the landscape of fitness for a while, whether through apparel, nutrition, workouts etc, few have had a cultural impact like Greg Doucette. The 45 year old professional bodybuilder and content creator has taken the fitness world by storm. Sure, guys like Ulisses Jr. have the chiseled show stopping abs, David Laid has the otherworldly body transformation, Simeon Panda has the patented “boulder shoulders”, Christian Guzman has the Alphalete brand, Austin Dunham has the savvy for calisthenics, guys like Marc Lobliner and Sadik Hadzovic have the powerful charisma. The list goes on and on. Let’s not forget to mention the likes of Dwayne the Rock Johnson, Jeff Cavaliere, and Shaun T who are more well known, but Greg has impacted the fitness industry in a way that no one else has. Mainly through nutrition. Simply put, Greg Doucette has inspired an entire young generation of aspiring fitness influencers alike. Heck, even other superstar social media fit guys like Remington James, Isiah Miranda, Jesse James West, and Will Tennyson rave about “Coach Greg”. Greg Doucette’s signature “Anabolic French Toast” recipe is often seen being mimicked by millions on pretty much every social media platform, especially on Tik Tok. We have never seen anything like this in the fitness industry. We have never seen an individual be so universally revered by many to the point where the name “Coach Greg” immediately pops into your head when seeing the phrase “Anabolic” before the title of a food recipe. The outspoken pro bodybuilder, who never misses a Youtube minute to remind you “he’s not a doctor”, constantly stresses the importance of eating high volume, low calorie dense foods as a means to sustain a caloric deficit, or maintaining. Greg Doucette has danced on the limits of legality by introducing us to non-traditional dieting foods such as “Anabolic French Toast”, “Smart Pop Popcorn”, “Anabolic Ice Cream”, heck he even has his very own original protein bar titled the “Skor Anabolic” ;whom many would argue Doucette should start selling as his own product. This is why Doucette has changed the lives of many worldwide. This is why many individuals have found it easier to achieve their weight loss goals. Don’t get it twisted, Doucette is also a gym connoisseur and workout aficionado, however his major impact has been with nutrition. Although exercising is an essential part of fitness, your diet is what will make the difference. “Coach Greg” has simply done a fabulous job placing his footprint in the fitness industry, a footprint that continues to grow, anabolically
HBO Max Going to Roku is the Next Step to Dominance
By: Doctor Stock Doc
Tags: Disney, Warnermedia, Content, Hbomax, Streaming

We were told Netflix would never fail. Why would it? People love watch endless hours of television and Netflix was able to provide it at a price cheaper than cable. But now we live in a world where the big players in the media game knew they can take down Netflix. We’re seeing Disney do this and now WarnerMedia will accomplish the same with HBOMax.

Many doubted HBOMax between the high price and the unclear brand identity at first. Now it’s looked at as a must-have as people are staying inside more. WarnerMedia is pushing all of its movies straight to the platform in 2021 and people find the content refreshing as Netflix grows stale. Content is king, but distribution is the next most important item. The biggest issue with HBO Max once it got popular was that it was hard for people to use it. People were getting creative with watching it on their TV’s and computers, but now there’s no flexibility thanks to the recent deal with Roku. Starting this week, HBO Max will now be able to be viewed by both Roku and Amazon Fire TV users.

People are inherently lazy, but also want to be in the know with what’s hot on TV. There’s been lots of buzz around “The Undoing” and “Industry”, but when people can’t just log on to their smart TV’s and watch, they’ll give up. With HBO Max available the same way Netflix is to so many viewers, HBO Max has the edge thanks to its stronger library and higher quality of relevance. All great empires fall. It’s time for major media companies like Disney and WarnerMedia to reclaim their thrones.
How to Set Up Your Content Creation Software Environment for Free
By: Martin Andersson Aaberge
Tags: Free, Software, Content, Marketing, Creative

Hardware

We have to talk about the hard stuff first — hardware.

We are going to focus on free stuff, but we can’t do anything without a computer.

Hardware is not free so we have to assume you own some hardware already or are willing to invest in it. Some content creation, like vlogging or shows where you film yourself, requires more hardware. You will need a camera, light, sound, props, etc. If you are only recording your screen, it will be a cheaper experience for you.

Computer

Luckily, most of the software we will use have online options. This means that the heavy lifting is not done on your computer. The only thing your computer needs to keep alive is the browser.

Do note that recording your screen and streaming is intense so you need at least a mid-end computer if you’re into that.

I have been blown away by the performance reviews we have seen on the entry-level MacBooks, like the Air, and the Mac Mini with the new M1 chips these days.

Hopefully, you have a computer that doesn’t need upgrading right away.

Camera

If you need to record yourself, you need a camera (or a phone with a camera), but if you only need to present the content you have on-screen, you can wipe that off your list as well.

Remember, you can start with something on the budget-conscious side and upgrade when you have the resources to do so.

The camera on your phone might be enough. A GorillaPod will help you get it set up where you want it.

If you don’t want to invest in any lights, use what you already have.

Microphone

Good sound is essential to step up to a more professional level. There are countless options out there. After weeks of research, I ended up with a Røde NT-USB Mini and I am really satisfied with the sound I get. It hooks up to your computer via USB so any beginner can pick one up and start using it right away.

The microphone comes with a stand so you can place it on your table, but a boom arm will help you avoid any accidental bumping into sounds and prevent picking up keyboard and mouse clicks.

What we’re building
Tags: Startup, Work, Content, Technology, Editing

We can’t tell you too much yet, but I do want to give you a sense of what we’ve built, are building, and what we are aspiring to create with Scenery.

The Foundation

At the core, our aim is simply to create the best possible tool for making video content, on your own or with a team.

Ground breaking products often feel contradictory, they stretch old definitions and create new ones. Scenery aims to be:

A professional grade video editor, but in your browser.

More approachable than existing video tools, yet in many ways more capable.

Fast and easy for simple edits, but also organically scalable to complex projects.

Supports real time, collaborative workflows across large teams, but feels natural to use alone for a quick one-off edit.

So that’s our foundation: a fast, reliable and always connected video editing experience that gets the details right. On that foundation what we’re building is a response to accelerating trends in media, work, and technology.

Media

Media, the idea of it, its form and function, how we consume it, and its role in our lives has always been evolving. From Charlie Chaplin to Charli D’amelio, we’ve seen dramatic changes in what content means to people, its length, its narrative structure, and how and when we consume it. The velocity of content consumption, and therefore production, is increasing dramatically year over year, and the needs of people who produce that content is changing in lockstep.

Work

The nature of work in general is also changing. We now work more remotely and at the same time more collaboratively. Real time collaboration is now the baseline for productivity tools in every vertical.

The ubiquity of these tools and our increasing comfort and ability to leverage them has profoundly changed how we work. These days it seems no blog post is written in isolation (including this one). No spreadsheet filled out by one person, no product conceived by one designer. Once you create as a team, there is no going back.

Technology

Technological advances tend to build quietly and slowly over decades, during which they feel like a toy, making unnoticeable iterative improvements every year, only to spill over suddenly to become foundational once they’ve reached a certain maturity.

We think we’re only at the cusp of this inflection point with machine learning, and any power tool built today needs to be built with ML in its DNA, not as an after-thought.

At the base of it all, browser and computing advancements and ubiquitous bandwidth make building on the web an advantage, not a hindrance.

What we can accomplish today is qualitatively different than what was possible with Jumpcut in 2005. We’re able to fulfill our original vision, that unfinished business –­ an online video editor that rivals desktop tools with few, if any compromises.

Set the right content format for keywords

Do you ready to post your content! Wait. It is important to identify the correct format for your target keyword. Most bloggers facing trouble to rank their blog because of their content format.

I Paid a Big Instagram Page for a Feature Post
By: Nikki P
Tags: Instagram Marketing, Content, Instagram, Marketing, Social Media

One day during lockdown I was bored and browsing through Instagram. I follow a few travel pages, posting paid features because the photos on their feeds are beautiful. I was curious why so many people pay to have their photos posted by them.

So I opened one of my favorite travel pages and clicked on the link in the bio. I had to give them my email and the name of my Instagram. After a few hours, I received an email saying that they can post my photos. There was another link and it lead me to the prices. The price for 1 photo was 19$, for 3 — 49$. This Instagram page has 1M followers and the posts get 3–20K likes on average.

I also checked out another one with more than 5M followers and to have your photo posted by them for just 1-hour costs 99$. This was too much for my current experiment.

All those pages promise hundreds, if not thousands of new followers. We all know that nothing is that simple. I decided to give it a shot and paid for 1 photo.

Two days later the photo was posted on their feed. It got hundreds and quickly after that — thousands of likes… So you might think that a lot of people checked out my profile and then followed.

That is so far away from the truth. Around 20–30 people checked my work and liked some of my photos Then 10 of them started following me. This was the difference between the usual activity I get and the activity after the featured post. This is nothing, considering that I used to get more than 10 new daily followers for months when I was more active.

These results made me think about my previous experience with those popular pages. I usually like most of the photos they post, because the pictures are beautiful. It’s very rare that I see something so unique that I check out the creator’s other work and follow them. So when I thought about it, the results weren’t that unexpected.

Although my experiment wasn’t successful, it still had a positive side. I edited and posted three new photos in a week, after not posting for more than a month. Now I am going through photos from my previous travels, seeing which ones I can edit and post in the future. This means now I have something kind of productive to do while bored at home.

I have never paid Instagram to promote a post, so I can’t compare it for now. Maybe I will try that next time, just to see how many followers twenty dollars can get you this way.

The stream becomes a mighty river

Tags: TV Shows, Content, Movies, Streaming, Streaming Video

Opinion by Frank Radice

With Disney+ hitting more than 86,000 subs (and predict it could reach 260,000 by 2024), Discovery+ about to bow, and Warner announcing its feature films will debut on HBOMax and big screens simultaneously, we’ve finally reached the tipping point in the content world where streaming has drowned out traditional broadcasting and cable.

Disney CEO Bob Chapek said, “Disney+ has exceeded our wildest expectations.” So much so that they are raising their subscription price by $1.00 a month, (Netflix is too). And along with that will come some great new movies and shows from the world of Marvel, The Star Wars franchise and more. That’s a good thing.

And now that NBC has soared with Peacock, they’ve announced they’re. going to allow local inventory on OTT offerings. The idea that traditional TV would probably be the place to see big events, news, and sports, seems to be fading fast, as more and more streaming services offer live content.

As an example, CNN’s “Reliable Sources” reports about ABC News, that. “during this election season, nearly four million of Hulu’s SVOD subscribers engaged with election coverage through ABC News Live,” and that they “plan to expand our partnership with ABC News to include new original content that will live exclusively on Hulu”

And CNN also reported that the company’s direct-to-consumer offerings, which include Disney+, Hulu, ESPN+ and Hotstar, has more than 137 million subscriptions globally. Disney also added that the Disney+ service will launch in more markets next year including South Korea, Eastern Europe and Hong Kong. That blows away that annoying Geo blocking if you live anywhere other than the states.

And the Warner move to stream big movies first, even though it’s rattled Hollywood with fears about how to deal with new compensation models, has without a doubt changed the game forever (even though they say it’s only going to last through 2021…don’t bet in it).

The media world is changing rapidly, and it’s affecting all aspects of the business. As these big companies move their business models to concentrate on streaming, they’ve also been tweaking their staffing, consolidating bloated departments, and laying off lots of powerful employees.

The global pandemic, without doubt, caused this disruption to accelerate as the need to create video venues for home use increased. Some say that streamlining the back office will allow them to put more on the screen. But the companies behind all of this aren’t just thinking about now, they’re looking further down the river into an ocean of change to come.

TN mandamus relator decries bid for 30 days more to explain CV-19 disaster

As the COVID crisis evolves, there is much interest in finding an efficient and portable way to study DNA on a mobile device. A recent study reported in the journal Gigascience describes the first mobile genome sequence analyzer by pairing an iPhone with a handheld DNA sequence — think — the “tricorder” as featured in Star Trek.

According to the study, iGenomics algorithm can potentially map DNA sequences of viral pathogens, such as a flu virus or Zika virus, and identify mutations important for diagnosis and treatment or even for analyzing other viral genomes, such as from a SARS-CoV-2 patient. It would be similar to an iPhone camera replacing the need for a professional camera — well, iGenomics could do the same for DNA sequencing.

Socially Insecure People Nervous for the Day They Won’t Be Able to Hide Their Faces Behind a Mask
By: Planet X Media
Tags: Social Anxiety, News, Covid 19 Crisis, Masks, Coronavirus

US — All across the nation, many socially insecure people are getting pretty nervous for the inevitable day in which they won’t have to wear masks everywhere and will actually have to show their faces.

As of now, many socially insecure people are very glad to be able to hide 75% of their faces behind a mask and not look like complete losers. However, eventually the time will come in which they will start to look stupid for wanting to cover their faces all of the time.

While some are thinking about ways to practically get the mask covering the entirety of their face, so no one will be able to see any part of their faces or any amount of raging acne or incel chin, others are thinking ahead and considering ski masks, their home remedy acne-removing face shields, or makeup to hide their faces as much as possible when they won’t be able to anymore.

Hopefully if one of them becomes a politician and gets into office (which most likely will never happen, I mean, because to do that they first have to leave their parent’s basement, so…), they will decree mask-wearing until the end of time.

10 Things That The Coronavirus Should Have Made Us Realize We Don’t Need Anymore..
By: Hugh Thomas Lorch
Tags: Covid 19 Crisis, Covid 19

Bars — No more need to push alcohol on the masses in a setting that incites stupidity, fighting or unwanted sexual advances.

Concerts — No more need to keep putting these artists on a pedestal by these huge venues and crowds that idolize and follow them like sheep.

Sporting Events — I am suggesting the professional sporting events only. Sports in general is good for the growth of our children, yet we don’t need a stadium where sports takes a partner seat to alcohol sales and again similar to a bar incites stupidity and violence. Many of the sports involve violence which most of the world isn’t and won’t be attracted to anymore in the future.

Gyms — No more need for packed gyms with everyone trying to look good in front of everyone else. Most memberships are sold to those who hardly ever use them making the gym owner rich and the the individual gets nothing. Workouts can be done at home and without a lot of expensive equipment

Lavish Weddings — No more need for these to be so extravagant where in some cases people like celebrities spend millions of dollars. It can be very special and amazing with minimal expense. That money can be used for something so much better like feed the hungry.

Movies — No more need to make movies, idolize movie stars, or go to packed theaters. We don’t need this type of entertainment. The movie makers don’t care about us at all but rather their huge profits. It is time to stop feeding into their predominantly violent movies. It is also time to stop idolizing people that are just actors playing a “fake” role as another person.

Travel — No more need for travel for strictly sightseeing purposes .. Soon that will be done AR or VR and you will get the same experience. I still believe in travel to visit family or friends and also to discover the people of another culture and interact with them in a giving and sharing way.

Malls — No more need for a purchasing experience that involves crowds of people, congested parking, or overall a massive place for people to buy things they don’t need..

Cruises — No more need for week long parties at sea. It’s an absolute breeding ground for sickness being spread. A better idea would be to plan a trip that includes a boat ride or two or simply be adventurous and plan a trip without the sightseeing tours and go explore on your own and do what you want.

Hotels- Long before Covid I always felt this was a very unsanitary place to stay. No matter how much they clean you can’t tell me things are sanitary when you have no idea who slept in that room or bed and what they brought with them. I do not have a solution for this, maybe AirBnB would be better.

It’s year end now and we are almost used to live in the covid times , post so many months people are now more carefree and have become complacent about their health and symptoms

Yes ,people who took action on time are getting saved in their home quarantine.so when do you know that it’s time to see a doctor is the right step towards your’s and your loved ones’ safety.

Mild is when you have a body ache, sore throat or cough that’s the time to be cautious and isloate yourself and get urself tested..

Moderate symptoms where u have fever continuous for 2 days and u start feeling breathless .u should monitor ur vitals — oxygen levels and temperature; at home every 2 hours .if the oxygen levels are above 95 it can be managed by isolating at home under doctors advice .

Fever continuously for 3 days and feeling breathless is the time to take some serious actions.. oxygen levels if falls below 95 should immediately be admitted in hospital.. especially for senior citizen or people with life style disease like diabetes etc..

Remember the sooner you take action the better it is for your recovery.

The sooner u start with medicines you can save urself from the spread of infection to lungs.

Tips

Drink plenty of hot water (little more than lukewarm ) that you can drink, decoction of ginger, black pepper ,Tulsi leaves throughout the day.

Keep washing ur hands regularly .

And wear a double mask ,yes a double mask. Single mask doesn’t give you protection.a cloth mask can be washed per use and especially for senior citizen they should be wearing

3 ply surgical mask with N95 mask for safety.

Psychological problems reported in Pakistan during COVID-19.
Tags: Mental Health, Covid 19 Crisis, Psychological Issues, Covid 19

I did a small research on Psychological problem in Pakistan during COVID-19 for the mega project that is handed us by# AmalAcademy.

The Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has arisen as a destructive challenge and it has shaken the worldwide economic, social, and healthcare systems. We do not know when it will be ended, how many people will be infected. The pandemic has also placed root in Pakistan. Since then, the government of Pakistan have taken various initiatives. The government introduced lockdown across the country in early March, 2020. Self-quarantine and social distancing are the only available remedies to limit the spread of COVID-19. But in lockdown people are suffering various mental health issues. Psychological problems/mental health issues that are reported in Pakistan are anxiety and depression, apprehension, irritability, frustration. This extensive lockdown is creating panic, fear, sense of insecurity, and stress in societies. COVID-19 is basically a global crisis, so collective efforts are required to deal with the pandemic. Now It is need of the hour to raise public health awareness, the talks and speeches of religious scholars on media can be very helpful to motivate masses and boost their morale in order to face the crises until the battle is over against COVID-19.
Diabetic Cyborg Life 12/25: Holidays in COVID Crisis

The largest surge of this disaster yet is hitting us hard during the annual “feel good” for most people. Not all people enjoy these days, I know, as seasonal affective disorder, or S.A.D., seems to be even more common now. All the misgivings and reservations we have normally are worsened by COVID now in 2020.

The unrelenting terror of the election, COVID and stress of containing both make for a not so pleasing cocktail of sadness, doubt and anxiety for everyone. Surely, we all have had scares or actual cases of COVID hitting loved ones, and the doubts about the election outcome strike us where it hurts the most. Please just see the light in the vaccines and democracy still working.

Know that we can get through these struggles of infectious diseases and petulant president, or a rich spoiled child who was never taught empathy. Among the myriad lessons 45 never learned include honor for one’s nation and dignity to tip one king when soundly defeated are the ones I think of now. These two forces of COVID and the cult of 45, including the current GOP, will not end our democracy.

Being an American historian, and political scientist, I feel that I must defend the nation I’ve acquired so much knowledge about. Breathe deeply, give thanks, and release your terror.

WE CAN and WILL SURVIVE THIS!

A new type of virus that rattled the world with its gigantic blows. It started in month of december from China and then its neighbors. It was named as Coronavirus. There were different opinions about the newly discovered virus in international community. WHO(World Health Organisation) entitled it as epidemic and then a deadly Pandemic. Later on they named life during Coronavirus as “Anthropause” . Covid’19 affected all dimension of life especially education, industry and economy.

Covid’19 and education:

Education has been highly hit by coronavirus disease. The virus initially caused closure of schools for plenty of time but different strategies came out from different countries to tackle hindrances faced by education system. Developed countries adopted exquisite tactics like online education, E-learning etc. Those include USA, UK and the most of Europe. China has also been on front foot against Covid’19 with its exceptional policies to normalize daily life. Third-world African nations like Nigeria have also strived to provide education to its children through radio. Many countries, in contrast, have not been that successful in providing online education due to their lame policies and/or poor administration. In a nutshell, Covid’19 has affected the education system more or less throughout the world.

Covid’19 on industry and economy?

Industry sector has been critically hit by Covid’19. It began ceasing its operation mainly in Asia (mainstream China, India, Bangladesh etc) and in Europe ( Italy, Spain, Sweden etc) and in Americas within a couple of months. However, the timely responsiveness and cautiousness played key role in guiding industries towards normalization.

As the closure of industries could be alarming for growing economies, countries had to face numerous challenges during this pandemic period. The novel pandemic put them in state of crisis and it took some time to revamp their economic policies according to exigency of time.

To Conclude, Covid’19 has been a huge setback to largest economies beside growing ones.

The UK cautions that individuals who have had extreme unfavorably susceptible responses ought not get the COVID-19 antibody created by Pfizer and BioNTech.

The UK Medications and Medical care Administrative Organization cautions that individuals with “a genuine history of hypersensitive responses” ought not get the Pfizer COVID-19 antibody. It is about any individual who has had an extreme unfavorably susceptible response to food, medication or antibodies previously.

The admonition was given after unfriendly responses were found in two NHS laborers in the wake of being immunized. Both have had hypersensitive responses before.

The specialists said that these individuals have gotten treatment and are recuperating. They are accepted to have had an anaphylactoid response, which for the most part incorporates a skin rash, windedness and once in a while a drop in pulse, the BBC reports. Stephen Powis, NHS Britain’s clinical chief, called the admonition a protection measure and added that it was “regular with new antibodies.”

Inoculation against COVID-19 has begun in the UK

England dispatched a mass immunization program on Tuesday. The Pfizer immunization is offered to individuals more than 80 years old, nursing home staff and some medical services experts. It isn’t clear the number of individuals have just gotten the immunization.
