Want to know why it is wise to invest in content marketing? Keep reading to find out…

What Is Content Marketing?

What is content marketing, you might ask? Content marketing is a rather new (compared to other forms of marketing) type of marketing that works by creating content (online material, whether it be reading, videos, or photos) that is used to market your business or a business. Content marketing comes in many different shapes or forms, some of which will be expanded upon later. The general idea of content marketing is to create unique and interesting content that will draw in a key audience and influence them to want to buy from your company or your product.

Types of Content Marketing

There are many different types of content marketing, too many to mention, and far too many to explain in this article. Because of that, we will mention only the most popular and effective umbrella methods of content marketing that are utilized nowadays. The content marketing that will be listed below will only be types of content marketing guaranteed to yield huge results when they are employed as part of a content marketing strategy. Here are a few of them:

Social Media Marketing

Social media marketing is a very popular method of content marketing and is the domain of the ‘influencers’. The ‘influencers’ as they are known, are often young, social media entrepreneurs, who have monopolized on the popularity of youth culture and fashion and exploit it to make a fortune. Social media influencers will sponsor your brand and market your brand for you by creating content that is interactive and engaging. They will, for example, if you are a clothing brand, wear your clothes and take professional photographs in them to market them to their followers online. Social media content creators can be a great asset.

Blogs

Blogs are another popular type of content marketing, and one you should definitely invest your money and time into. Billions of people around the world read blogs every single day – which is why blogs are such an effective place to market your product. Usually, you can buy guest posts on blogs. This means, for those who are not marketing savvy, the blogger will post a post that is written by either you or them and is designed to market your product; this can be very effective and is a hugely successful way of bringing business to your company as well as developing interest and intrigue around it.

Vlogs

Vlogs, just like blogs, capture the attention of billions of people from all across the globe. Vlogs have, in recent years, become much more successful than the two formerly mentioned methods, largely because of the huge youth presence on video streaming platforms; vloggers can make an absolute fortune creating content – and because of the millions of views that successful ones regularly get, they are able to market your product or business for you by creating content designed to talk highly of it and explain the many benefits of it.

How to Invest?

Investing in content marketing is very simple and requires you to simply contact content creators themselves and ask if they would be happy, for a fee, of course, to sponsor your brand and to create content for it. Oftentimes, you will be very successful, and they will quickly reach out to you and agree to do what you have asked to do, for the price agreed upon. Some content creators (those with millions of subscribers) will likely charge a lot more than those who do not. It may be worth, for the first time, investing in a content creator with a larger following so you are able to see instantly the popularity and huge success that can come from content marketing online.

Creating Your Own Content

You can, however, if you do not wish to pay anybody, create your own content. This is not for everybody and many people start then fail as quickly as they have started when it comes to creating their own content; creating unique and interesting content is not as easy as it may sound and can be a big headache. You will have to spend days, if not weeks, sitting in front of your computer thinking of and developing unique and intriguing content.

How Much Does It Cost?

An initial, single investment into content marketing is unlikely to cost a lot of money but can be costly if you are on a budget. An average investment with a high-quality content creator should be around $100-$200 for the first time. The more and more they market for you, the more you will have to pay; you may be able to strike up a deal with a content creator and have them market you regularly for a discounted cost. It’s entirely subjective.

Now, with the help of this page, you know everything that there is to know about content marketing, as well as making an investment in content marketing. The future of marketing is content marketing, and getting involved in it sooner rather than later is a great way to monopolize and make a fortune.

Mobile Money Africa

5 Reasons African Prefer Mobile Money over Cash

Financial inclusion could have been a vague hope for a variety of African countries. With a failing financial environment, weak road infrastructure, and lack of knowledge of financial resources, financial inclusion appeared out of reach. People have been asking What is MTN mobile money, M-Pesa, basically the mobile money movement in Africa has changed the tide and how! This technology has changed how citizens behave on the street. It is no ordinary feat for smartphone penetration to cross 80 percent in Africa, twice that of banking penetration! Wondering why the people of Africa welcomed mobile money with both hands? Here are five factors of why mobile money is a big success in Africa. Despite strong smartphone usage, just 6% of the population utilizes mobile phones to make financial transactions.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

And 60 percent of Nigerians actually do not have a bank account, because they do not have connexions to digital resources on sale. By comparison, 73% of Kenya’s population has a mobile payment account.

Paga, one of Nigeria’s largest mobile money operators, operates multiple kiosks in Lagos, especially in communities where the nearest bank or cash machine is simply too far away.

Every day, streams of consumers visit the booths to pay their bills and pass money by handing over cash instead of utilizing Paga’s mobile app.

Cash sales appear to rule, partially fuelled by a large informal market exempt from financial services. While several citizens in Nigeria now have cell phones, some claim they do not trust the technology. They believe that if the computer is hacked, their money is going to be too big, so they choose to conduct all purchases in person.

Effect of M-PESA on Africa’s economy

M-PESA substantially lowered transaction costs in Kenya. When it was released, the estimated distance to the closest bank was 9.2 kilometers. Eight years later, in 2015, the total distance to the closest M-PESA agent was just 1.4 kilometers.

As M-PESA began, it created a network of agents that were geographically distributed, which indicated that more citizens in remote and sparsely inhabited places were within control. This has culminated in substantial and widespread acceptance.

Now that consumers of mobile money are able to form more complex risk-sharing networks, it is not shocking that users appear to collect more remittances from more than non-users. This is especially obvious as users react to negative shocks.

Increases defense

Poverty and a handicapped economy have plunged Africa into a center for money point theft and cash-in-transit theft. The digitized existence of mobile money has removed this issue. Digitized transfers save hassle bringing money to banks or moving unions and avoiding robbery or banditry on the road. As of 2018, South Africa alone recorded more than one cash-in-transit robbery a day. The Africans lapped up mobile money in a move to get a stable payment system, and they did not look back!

Allows financial inclusion simpler

The exponential growth of mobile money lies in the fact that it has been incredibly fast. It is all about smartphones, wireless subscriptions, and wireless. A record 122 million mobile money accounts in Africa in 2017 are evidence of how convenient it has been to enter the financial ecosystem. Mobile money took those individuals to the financial map who had little chance otherwise. Women and the rural community are now behaving by pressing a mouse! People that were not part of the financial framework are now major spenders and cautious savers!

Costs of service are cheap

Traditional purchases include bank branches, workers, power, and services. Needless to mention, both of these labor expenses are met by the consumers themselves. This renders the risk of transacting a strain on the poor and discourages them from transacting. Do not neglect, first of all, the provision of facilities to reach the bank! Mobile money arrives like a blast of fresh air with abysmal low running costs! Safaricom MPESA charges are easy to grasp, also among the moderately educated rural population. These costs are explicitly stipulated and are negligible for us to manage.

Faster Overseas Trade

A substantial number of young Africans have crossed boundaries on job prospects. Sending money back home in an easy way every month becomes a matter of time. Mobile money providers have championed this to build an environment that makes for accelerated inbound receipts of foreign funds. According to the World Bank, Kenya has been a net beneficiary in remittances, with more than $2 billion in smartphone inflows in 2017 compared to $36 million in outbound transactions. Mobile money takes riches back to Africa little by little every year!

Swift & Quick Customer Service

Most citizens in third world countries lack the basic awareness of banking procedures and protocols. This lack of awareness in the criteria of the transaction makes most people cringe at the prospect of walking in a store. Mobile money systems, on the other side, render consumer engagement incredibly easy and smooth. Irrespective of the phone, all it takes is a few clicks to record. The method of submitting the funds is surprisingly clear. Paying off bills and services is available with a click of a button without any processing costs.

Windows 20H2 Update

The second update for 2020 of Windows 10 near its debut

The update brings some new feat including a major debut of the new Edge browser

While we do not have a debut date for the October update of Windows 10 codenamed 20H2, this version is closer than we thought. Through the Windows Insider blog, Microsoft said the Windows 10 20H2 update is in the Release Channel Preview. Although this channel is not the main branch of Windows 10, it is considered the last stop before the update becomes available to everyone.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

In fact, the update is so close that Microsoft officially calls it the “October 2020 Update.” If you want to try the update now, you can join Windows Insider. And since it’s on the Release Preview channel, you don’t have to worry about major system issues.

What does Windows 10 20H2 Update include?

Although not a major update, there are some new additions. The biggest change is the Edge browser which is going to be difficult to uninstall. This is because Microsoft is launching the Chromium version of the browser with the update in question. Edge will become an integral part of the operating system and almost impossible to uninstall.

Beyond this change, the Start menu will have a cleaner interface.

There have been complaints about the mandatory implementation for the new Edge. But from the tests carried out to date, the Chromium version wins over the old version without any hesitation and by a large margin.

Entertain Yourself During Your Commute

Ways to Entertain Yourself During Your Commute

As people are slowly starting to return to offices and working from home is coming to an end, we’re all reminded how much time we used to spend on our commute from home to work or school. On one hand, we can think of this as wasted time that we could be spending some other way, but we can also think of it as an opportunity. So, let’s see what are some ways you can spend your commute to make it more fun or productive and not feel like you’re wasting time.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″ tdc_css=””]

Meditate

We live such fast and hectic lives that we rarely have the time to actually slow down and just be at peace with ourselves. Our commute is actually the perfect opportunity to do this, as it’s the same route every day and we don’t need to allocate a lot of our brain to getting there. You can download apps that will lead you through meditation cycles that you can do while you’re walking. This can help you mentally prepare for the day ahead as well as relax you after a stressful 8 hours of work. You don’t have to make it this specific, even if you just walk without actively consuming some media, and just let your mind wander everywhere and nowhere, you will be reaping the benefits.

Catch up on Media

Going to the other side of the spectrum, you can use your time to catch up on your favorite shows, podcasts, and videos. Podcasts are great if you’re walking and you have to actually be looking where you’re stepping, but if you’re on the tube you might have issues with streaming because of lack of reception. Another great option is to download from YouTube and enjoy your videos offline. Just make sure you remember to download them before you go underground! Some streaming apps have built-in options for downloading videos for later viewing, while others will require you to download them externally. Remember, you can do that on your computer and then just transfer it to your phone.

Get Work Done

If you are someone who works several jobs, or your work hours are flexible and you can work from your phone, you can easily get a portion of your work done while on the go. Answering emails, scheduling meetings, reviewing documents, or even drafting them are all things you can go on the go. Depending on your mode of transportation, you can even make calls or participate in meetings. If you have a longer commute, you can schedule whole portions of your work for the commute. For example, if you have an interrupted hour on the tube, you know you’ll have an hour of uninterrupted time to get something done – as long as it’s offline, so you can schedule it for yourself to do that.

Talk to Loved Ones

How often do you use the excuse of not having enough time to call your nan or check up on a friend you haven’t talked to in a while? These connections in our lives are precious, and if you use some time of your commute to call someone up to tell them you’re thinking of them, you’ll be making several people’s days. You can make it a routine to talk to someone every morning for a couple of minutes, or you can choose a different person to talk to every day as a surprise.

Play Some Games

IN the end, if you just want to relax and have fun, you can play some games. There are tens of thousands of games you can download on your phone that will entertain you for hours. But, if you would rather look away from your phone, all you need is a pen and a pad and you can have fun! Or you can bring it back to the physical world with a set of sudoku puzzles, a Rubik’s cube, or other brain toys of your choice. If you’re with friends, you can also entertain yourself with some party games like “Guess who”.

If all else fails, you can always start switching up your commute and exploring the city you live in. There’s always a beautiful new window shop to spot, a piece of street graffiti art to admire or just shortcuts to remember, so feel free to explore and walk around. Your commute doesn’t have to be a part of the day that is annoying or a necessary evil – you can use it in a productive, creative way and actually enjoy every part of it.

Increase Streaming Revenue

6 Ways to Increase Streaming Revenue from Spotify

It goes without saying that every artist or music producer’s dream is to succeed in the industry. This necessarily entails getting your tracks out there, building a large and engaged audience, and getting people to listen to what you’re offering. Spotify is one of many platforms out there that allow musicians to cultivate their artistic image, publish their songs, and monetize their music. It may prove difficult and challenging at first, but once you make a name for yourself and manage to attract more listeners to your page, the royalties will start flowing in.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″ tdc_css=””]

Without further ado, here are 6 proven strategies to boost your streaming revenue on Spotify.

1. Set Realistic Goals

If you want to make it in the music industry, you should be able to quantify your growth and success. Especially for unsigned artists (independents without a label), it’s important to establish attainable goals on a given basis. For instance, you can aim for a certain number of streams per week, or how many followers you’d like to gain each month. Either way, keep up with your metrics; it will take a great deal of dedication, perseverance, and hard work to get recognized.

2. Publish Your Work

Unlike YouTube or SoundCloud, Spotify doesn’t allow users and artists to upload their tracks directly for free. As such, you’ll want to rely on a music distribution service for getting your song on streaming platforms and making your work available to the public. They’re a convenient all-in-one option to prepare, license, sell, and market your music online. With a bit of research, you’ll find a reputable service that will get your content on Spotify, Apple Music, and other popular platforms. Once that’s done, you can submit your music to playlist curators.

3. Verify Your Profile

Much like the way Twitter and Instagram operate, artists with verified profiles on Spotify get a major visibility boost. With that precious badge adorning your page, you’ll have the ability to communicate with your fan base and be highlighted on the platform. This has the potential to make you fetch a considerable number of new followers every week. All you need to do is fill the verification request form found on the official website, and wait for their approval.

4. Create Unique Playlists

Playlists are, by far, the greatest drivers of streams on Spotify. Before people decide to listen to your music, they need a gateway to your profile; that gateway can be you curating unique playlists. If they’re successful, you’ll gain more followers, and your chances of being featured will skyrocket. Follow these tips to make playlists that will attract and engage listeners:

  • Select your favorite tracks and add your own as well.
  • Have at least 10 public playlists on your profile and update them regularly.
  • Share and pin your playlists.
  • Add value with catchy titles and illustrations.

5. Exploit the Platform’s Marketing Potential

Spotify is actually a superb tool for self-promotion. In order to grow your audience and boost your revenues, you must treat the platform as a networking tool to interact with your audience, promote your tracks, and let your fans know about your musical habits and updates. To that end, follow artists, bands, and DJs you like, engage with your subscribers via messaging, and add the Spotify ‘follow button’ directly to your personal website or blog.

6. Promote Yourself on Social Media

In a similar vein, you can expand your musical horizons on Spotify by promoting your work on other social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, SoundCloud, Pinterest, and more. By adding embedded links and Spotify QR codes to your various profiles, you maximize your chances of attracting listeners and generating a massive amount of streams, which ultimately earns you more revenue. Encourage your friends and followers to share your profile, single tracks, and playlists as well.

Bonus — Network

Remember that success can rarely be achieved individually. To that end, reach out to fellow artists and musicians, and invite them to collaborate. This is an excellent opportunity to share the expertise, drive traffic, and build a stellar reputation for yourself.

At the end of the day, making a genuine, long-lasting impact on the industry via Spotify requires more than simply great musical taste and excellent production skills. If you want to increase your followers base and generate streaming revenue, you must be consistent, provide novelty and value, and master the art of self-promotion. With patience and efforts, you’ll be able to make a name for yourself and earn serious money down the road, that could potentially mean signing with a renowned music label!

2020 Audi A3 Sportback 30 G-Tron

2020 Audi A3 Sportback 30 G-Tron unveiled

Audi A3 Sportback gets a G-Tron variant with the same sporty look

Audi has revealed the new A3 Sportback, which can be driven not only with gasoline but also with compressed natural gas (CNG). In addition to liquefied petroleum gas, methane (CNG) is another propulsion option that saves the driver and also helps nature thanks to low CO2 emissions.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

Cars that can use CNG as fuel are well represented in Europe, so many manufacturers offer versions of their models in methane.

Among them is Audi, which has just introduced the A3 Sportback 30 G-Tron with compressed natural gas engine. Moreover, this car can also use biogas as fuel. It is powered by a 1.5-liter TFSI turbo-gasoline engine that produces 131 horsepower (96 kW) and 200 Nm of torque. The engine is linked to a 7-speed automatic transmission, and the power is transmitted to the front wheels.

 

The German manufacturer states that the A3 Sportback 30 G-Tron accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 9.7 seconds and has a top speed of 211 km/h. The car has three CNGs (two larger and one smaller) and a petrol tank. The average methane consumption according to the NEDC standard is 3.6-3.5 kg/100 km, and CO2 emissions are 99-96 g/km.

If the gasoline and two larger CNG tanks are filled “to the top”, the car can travel 495 km. The petrol tank is located behind the rear axle and has a volume of 9 liters, while the capacity of each of the two largest CNG tanks is about 7 kg, and they are located under the luggage. The smallest is also in front of the rear axle.

The Audi A3 Sportback 30 G-Tron, among others, is equipped as standard with LED headlights, a 10.1-inch multimedia system display, a digital instrument panel, and a lane departure warning system.

The price of this model in Germany starts at 30,705 euros and will reach European stores during the fall.

What Should My First Car Be Like?

A car is a valuable investment. It is one of the most important things which many people wish to buy at some point. However, a car requires careful considerations because a slight mistake might make you lose your hard-earned money. It would be best if you understood what you want, researched what’s in the market, and then set a good criterion for buying it. 

You should also prepare financially, mainly if you don’t have enough savings and rely on credit. So, don’t let the excitement of owning your first car overwhelm you. Settle your mind, and plan the following things regarding how your first car should be like.

Set Your Car Buying Budget

Budgeting for car ownership isn’t just about paying the car payment; there are other associated costs, like your basic needs’ expenditures, insurance, fuel, and maintenance costs. Figure out a price you can afford and of your class as per your earnings. Consider your savings and ways to cut daily expenses to attain a realistic budget. You can use a hire purchase loan secured against the vehicle, meaning you will own it after the final payment; if you can’t afford to pay it all at once.

Should you buy New or Used?

This is another crucial decision that you’ll have to make based on your budget and research. Used cars or rather second-hand cars are less expensive to buy, and no waiting for the car to be delivered and made. On the other hand, new vehicles have the reassurance of the manufacturer’s warranty, which covers costs if a fault happens within the specified period. In line with what experts from westsideauto.com.au suggest, you should weigh the two options to make an informed decision. Buying a new car may be an excellent and viable idea for some, but you can, too, find a great second-hand option that will be perfectly good as new and get the peace of mind you deserve. 

Get Insurance Coverage before You Drive

Cars require ongoing operational costs, such as insurance and tax. These costs can be hefty for you if you spend the money on the initial purchase. To save you from frustrations, you should call an insurance company and get a quote based on the year and the car model before signing on the bottom line for your dream ride. Insurance providers like predictable and stable drivers for they pose less risk of costly accidents and faults. Just make sure you find reliable and trusted agents who can help you make the best decisions. 

Do You Want a Manual or Automatic?

By the time you consider purchasing a car, you should make up your mind or else have an idea of whether you need a manual or automatic one. If you enjoy driving and would love to go for long drives, a manual car would be the best because it’s more engaging and the best for beginners to learn. Eventually, you may upgrade to automatic. You may start with the automatic car, too, if you live in urban areas and have little driving experience. Don’t hesitate to involve a professional to help you in choosing the best.

Availability of spare parts

It is less stressful when you choose a car model with available spare parts at local dealer shops or a garage for its easy to maintain. Negligence on understanding the market spare parts and components leads to significant troubles at times or later stages leaving your vehicle stranded or somewhat abandoned. A careful examination of spare parts’ availability must be before finalizing a particular model or brand based on your interests and preferences.

Take the Car for a Test Drive

Drive the car before buying to know if that’s what you exactly want. Remember that the vehicle may have all features you want, and appearance and reputation, but be incredibly uncomfortable and won’t necessarily handle as expected. For both new and second hand, all car dealers allow aspiring car buyers to test drive to get a feel for the car they want. 

So don’t hesitate to do the test, get a valid driving test, and visit the dealer of your choice. When test driving, check if the clutch is thoroughly engaging, its performance, how is the acceleration, any odd sounds? Confirm that the brakes are responsive too. Inspect all the parts so that you can make an informed decision. 

Buying your first car can be a daunting experience despite your age or budget; that’s why it requires so many decisions to make and significant moves to make you drive home the one that’s right for you. So, follow the above tips, do you research what’s in the market and make an informed decision. Don’t rush the process to avoid making costly mistakes.
