The Transcription of RP – Suggestions for In-Class Activities

If students do not feel confident in any of these areas, we recommend to visit the respective elearning units on the virtual linguistics campus here there are phoneme and phonetic transcription or to consult our electors in this YouTube blog now, in particular, the e lectures about the phoneme And phonetic transcription this background knowledge is necessary for the goals of this in class meeting.

The particular prerequisite for this in class meeting is that students have worked through the unit, the transcription of received pronunciation, including the election English in England, in accordance with our inverted classroom model. As a starting point for this particular in-class meeting, I suggest to clarify the terminology that is used to define the standard pronunciation of the English language in England, the heartland of the English language.

In doing this, I will be supported by a first-term student of our seminar and Nina Eichmann hi. Elena Anna Nina will first of all discuss with me the central definitions so uh Nina in defining the standard of the pronunciation of English in England. What sort of terms have you come across? Well, I’ve come across the term British English. Okay. Can you write it down and abbreviate English by a capital ease of British English is a term that is often used anything else.

Yes, that’s Oxford, English and Queen’s English. Okay, now, while Annina is writing down these terms, let me say something about it: British English is a head term for the reference variety that we use in teaching and learning English. However, it mainly refers to the standards in orthography, in the syntax, in the morphology and in the vocabulary of English, so it is a head term rather than a term used for the pronunciation of English, Oxford, English and Queen’s English.

Well, Oxford English implies that this English is spoken in Oxford. Isn’t it well and Queen’s English implies that only the Queen uses it, so there are no suitable terms for the pronunciation of English, so rather we should use something else, and the term that is used is in fact called received. Pronunciation, okay, received pronunciation. Now the term received pronunciation has, for many years been used to refer to the type of English, which is the one that is accepted by the best society.

Rp is also the accent that Americans and possibly other foreigners would probably refer to, as the typical British accent. Sometimes it is also referred to under the terms BBC, English public, school, English or even Standard English, so it is neither a regional nor a personal but a socially accepted type of Standard English. By the way, you can compare this with the standard accent that is used in your own country.

We are both speakers of German, so in German, we have a similar situation where the standard is social rather than regional, in character. Okay, after this first introduction to the term, received pronunciation. Let’s now practice – and you know you dealt with the e-learning unit – we, you should be familiar with it. You read the article and you pass the graded worksheet by the way, with an excellent result where you had to transcribe some RP words, and this is now our first practice, so I will produce some nonsense words.

Nonsense. Words are always very good because they do not distract you from the orthography okay. So now here are the words in you. Please transcribe. These words here is the first one. Do it do it? Okay, next one is razz razz good. Then we have kind kind. Okay, the fourth one is should-should and the last one in this series is Jacques, Jacques. Okay, so perhaps you’ve tried the same thing. You can now compare an inner solutions with yours, and here are the model solutions and, as you can see, there are only well only two mistakes.

I think the first one is, of course, where Annina use the wrong vowel here this should be. What would you call this vowel? Oh, that’s the swab, the schwa, okay, so schwa and the second mistake. Well, there’s no further mistake, perfect good solution so now this explains why she did the worksheet so well and now, let’s take another series, some longer complex nonsense words. This is now very hard, and here is the first one Castillo Castillo Castillo, yes, and he now is inserting a stress mark.

You know when words have several syllables, you have to use a stress mark tostito. Okay, again, you can try yourself and later we will look at the model solutions. Now, here’s number two did Sheila did, Sheila did Fila looks, good, did, Sheila did thela and the last one is, must heed or must heed or must heed or must heed or Musti door? Yes, fantastic. Only one mistake I can see. Perhaps if you look at it, you can see yourself.

This symbol here would be more mostly door, oh and it is not used in RP at all. So this would be the solution. Well, let’s look at the solutions here they are. The rest is OK again. It’s always useful if you address particular letters, particular letters. So this is a letter here which has a particular name, this symbol. Well, I think that’s the whet the wedge, okay and earlier on in the previous exercise.

We have this symbol. What is it called and that’s the S the ash, so we have three characters which we can address by name the wedge: the ashen through. Ah it’s much simpler than to talk about transcription. Okay before we now turn our attention to the sound system of RP. Let’s repeat the differences between an arrow and a broad transcription here is a sentence I used in the e lecture about the phoneme Liz played with Paul.

So let’s transcribe, this sentence in two versions, narrow and broad – are Nina. How are these systems represented? First of all? Well, in the narrow system, you use the angular brackets, and here we use slashes the slashes okay excellent. Now I mean I didn’t know that I’m wiping this off, because I’ve prepared something, but it doesn’t matter. So this is what I prepared, and here are, of course, the right brackets or your answer was perfect.

Now I want to make life a little bit simpler in class. Of course, I would do the whole thing, the transcription, together with my students, so in both cases we have some symbols that are absolutely identical, and these are the ones are represented in black here now. Let us now write down the two different versions and let us look at the differences, perhaps the lateral consonants first. So what about the first? Let’s look at the narrow transcription first, what about the first law as in Liz? Well, I think in is it snow? Well, so to say normal because it’s palatalized palatalized or yes, you use the symbol for palatalization, and if you compare that with the law in Paul well any alveolar lateral here, yeah Paul.

I think it’s penalized realized very good. Okay and then we have another alveolar lateral. In played, which is preceded by /, yes, so what about that? One? Because / is D voiced. I think the L is also D voice. Okay, so you can add the / now in front of yes laid okay, and then we have another cut in Paul. What about that /? That part is aspirated, okay, very good, and now we have excluding the stress mark Liz played with Paul pups.

You can insert a stress mark here. We have an arrow transcription and if we compare that with the broad phonemic transcription, we simply have well the same symbol: the phone. Yes, we don’t have allophones okay played with Paul perfect, so Annina has understood the difference between narrow and broad transcriptions. I hope you so it is the broad phonemic transcription that is predominantly used for the transcription of RP and the most popular one is the one used in John Wells wrongman pronouncing dictionary, and for this reason it is abbreviated as Ltd transcription long run, pronouncing dictionary transcription.

So let us now turn our attention to the sound system of received pronunciation here. It is let’s first of all list the inventory itself. How many phonemes that does RP have RP has got 44 phonemes 44 phonemes, and they can be subdivided into vowels and consonants. How many vowels xx and consonants 24? Okay great and now we only need the monophthongs and diphthongs we’ve got twelve one of thongs an age difference: okay, very good.

So this is then really the inventory itself, the 44 phonemes. And since the next unit of this class will be about American English and the consonantal systems of both varieties of English are very much similar. Let us concentrate on the bowels of our pee first okay and Nina. How can the vowels of received pronunciation be subdivided in the monophthongs? Sorry the monophthongs? Well, I think we’ve got long and we’ve got sort one of tongues.

Mm-Hmm. Okay, now length is a little bit critical. Isn’t it well? I don’t think whether it really plays a role. Okay and okay, so she was a little bit informed about this. What we’re doing now! So what I do in class at this point is, I present the following four words and here they are see, seat, SID and sit. So, let’s listen. I recorded see seat Sid SID now on you know. The first two are normally transcribed with a long, Eva, Eva, the colon and the second set with a shorty in hearing them.

What would you say? Which one is the longest? Well, I think the longest is C. Okay, so that’s our number one, the longest and the shortest. I think. That’s it okay and then number two and three would be well. I think like this okay, so this is what we all would probably say without performing a so called spectrographic analysis which you can’t can find here. So what I did. I used an audio program in class recorded the sounds and then showed this result to the students, and here you can clearly see in the frames which contain the vowels that now we have a different situation.

Yes, this one is still the longest, but now there is that one Sid is the second longest number three is seat and number four is sit, and now you can see that strictly speaking, length is not a decisive factor at all. Rather, it is a matter of tens versus lakhs or a distribution, for example the most of the short vowels, and this is a distributional effect. Most of the short vowels only occur in closed syllables.

That is, they need a consonant that has to follow. The schwa occurs in unstressed position and the e is a little bit critical as a language change going on where many people would now say City instead of City, but we still use the length Marc. Yes, we do and why well, it is perhaps a special indicator for the prolongation of vowels, which is useful for the language learner. After all, there are many languages which do not have long vowels at all.

So if you’re learning English and you see these links, symbols you might be tempted to make them longer and that’s not too bad for the language learner. Okay, the diphthongs here are the eight diphthongs. How can we subdivide these dipthongs? Well, we’ve got in gliding and adding different tongues. Okay, can you mark the in gliding ones? Yes, I think these three okay, so these are the in gliding diphthongs.

Now some students often complain about all this terminology. Why do I have to remember all these terms, but these terms help in a systematic classification of the sound systems of languages. In the case of our PD thumbs, we can say that the whole class doesn’t exist in American English. Why not? Well, I think that our the in glaring ones, because they can all be found in context with the final or choker orthographical are and in American English.

This comes out as a man of throne plus earth. So here we have some words here. There ensure in British English, with a with an implied indifferent in American English, here, they’re unsure, okay, now the final part of this session should be dedicated to the discussion of transcription to practicing a good exercise would be this one here, where you present your students, a Transcription result that contains a lot of mistakes and these mistakes can be of a formal kind.

So, for example, and I’ll leave that to you we’re not giving this Ellucian here, perhaps just the headline. The headline contains some mistakes, so our four lettered friends, where are the main mistakes? Annina? Well, I think because, as you know, if, whereas you just have said the art, isn’t there and mercy pronunciation, so we get rid of that. Yes, and here has to be the SWOT, I think grateful occurred.

Yes, and this is normal II friends. Yes, I’m salon is not used in RP. Ok, I think here when you thanks mark yes for the difference. Sometimes we have trouble writing here, but it’s we all know. It must be this. This vowel in the first case, so our four lettered friends well and you can do the rest at home. Finally, depending on the time you have in class, you could present your students with a transcription exercise, give them a text, give them five minutes.

Let them do the transcription and eventually show them the results, and of course they can do. The rest at home then continue at home, and this could be a nice homework too. But you know, according to the inverted classroom model, you don’t have real homeworks. We do everything in class, okay, let’s summarize well after this in class meeting and the e-learning unit, the sound system of RP prior to it, everyone should not only be able to list and classify the RP phonemes, but also to transcribe RP words in simple phrases: the Transcription of connected speech might still be a problem, but that does not matter at this point.

We will tackle that in the unit present-day English connected speech and in the respective a lecture. So let us stop here, but not without reminding the students to finish the last two tasks: the corrections of errors and the completion of the transcription. The solutions by the way can be found on the virtual linguistics campus. So thank you all for your patience. Thank you very much’, Nina for your support, just-just.

She said that’s bye-bye in German, okay, that’s it for now!

How To Do Basic SEO: A Beginner’s Guide (2019) Part 1

I finally decided to come back and I don’t know if it’s going to be going to be full-time, but I’m going to try my best to kind of publish articles more frequently and this I’m going to do then, this time I’m going to be doing things a Little bit different and I’m going to be focusing more or less on kind of educational series, playlist, etc, and the first one kind of want to focus on is SEO, as you guys have been asking me quite frequently, is how to do content marketing how to do Seo, etc, etc.

I’r like fuck man, I didn’t make a fucking article about this. I’r tired of telling people are talking to people. Let me just make it and set it and forget it, and so I’ve been working in block geeks for last two and a half years, and it’s done well. You know we’ve. On average, we get anywhere between a hundred to one point: five million organic traffic visits a month at the peak of the crypto run.

We had like three four million visits and we’ve done this, not VC funded. You know we don’t have crazy capital. This is self-funded. So we’ve done it very strategically step-by-step and we’ve created one of the best lean mean content, machine website assets in the crypto space, and so I want to kind of show you how I’ve done that. So anyone can do this. It’s like when people say: oh, a mirror, you’re going to marking like bro, I’m a fucking idiot, it’s just no! You know you can laugh now, but it’s the truth.

It’s not like I’m, not a genius, it’s more or less. Once you have a checklist. Everything’s easy, like once you make things into heuristics like simple logic patterns where you know from like point A to point, B, etc, etc. Anyone can do I mean anyone, it’s not like you’re calculating formulas or you look kind of like sitting there scratching your head like SEO, for the most part, is spending a lot of time doing due diligence a lot of time doing research.

The easy part is content. Production in the marketing – that’s the easy part, but the due diligent part is where the magic side and yeah SEO is not a shortcut. It’s a longtail game, but once you nail down the longtail game, it’s the best type of traffic right you’re, talking about intense search people who are who are intently searching for salut or problems on different. You know different search engines out there.

You know where there’s a yahoo being Google Yandex, etc Baidu, and so basically, for this first article, I want to kind of show you a basic due diligence process that I do I’m going to be focusing on crypto and do something new so start from scratch. I this the first I’m going to be doing this and I’ve decided to do on shoes, believe it or not, and so we’ll focus on shoes, and so basically the program that I use is 8 reps and I highly recommend to get this program.

They don’t pay me to say this. I just love it. I used to use many different ones that you see used a majestic SCM rush. I think SEO link profiler is called as well a couple of them I use before, and all of them have like really cool one to two features that each were unique to themselves. So I had to use three to four different pieces of software and more or less the api’s were pretty similar in all of them right.

It wasn’t that too much different data points, but hf solved that they pretty much have all the features and, above all, what’s really good about them. Is their UI UX? It’s just fucking beautiful, like I love it, big shout out to HR apps like what they’re doing and how they’re pushing their business and the whole tool itself is fantastic. Okay, so a couple of things: bang bang boom, leave site text, editor uh shirt.

Leave. It will keep this one open. That’s another tool, we’ll use similar web okay. So first thing we want to do is: do a little deep dot like surface area deep dive so SEO it’s all about, like I said, analyzing your probability for ranking, and so let me pull up something: tofu tofu, tofu yeah, a big one about this booming. Okay. This is it beautiful. Let me open up open link in your window. No, not the window.

Do you want to open a new tab boom? Okay, so before you begin any SEO campaign on any startup, and this doesn’t matter what startup it is, this is the high level view of building out your content marketing campaign. It’s a classical tofu, tofu tofu, so tofu top of the funnel mo foo, obviously middle. The funnel bo foo bottom of the funnel and at the bottom of funnel obviously equals purchases right to Ching, and so how it starts is like any funnel.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HAY47lnFy8E

You want to cast a wide net right. Middle of the funnel is for more education, more aware, customers who are aware of your brand or who are a more intelligent when it comes to the topic that you’re educating people on all right. So I mean it’s going to be interesting to get to the shoes. One and then finally, Bo foo is a call to action, closing one. It’s like okay, your sales pages, your shopping, cart pages or like a beautiful piece of content, that the end of the content is a call to action which is pushing them to whatever product you want right.

So, when you’re building out your SEO campaigns, this is how I like to build it out. Really simple like I would have a big whiteboard or you can use an online whiteboard and I would have on the side, tofu tofu, tofu and then basically what I do is I would go into eight reps and I would then type in your topical, like your Anchor topical keyword that you want your site to rank for so I just pulled out a random one, all right, so the random one that I pulled out and I have no fucking idea about this industry or anything best running shoes.

So, let’s say hypothetically right now: I want to rank for best running shoes or I’m building a new running shoes, ecommerce business. Okay. So what does HS tell tell me? You know keyword, volume, Bob 3.2, K, global volume, 88,000 CPCs of people bidding on this about 90 cents or a buck give or take talk to countries. You kay United States, India’s third candle show in Indonesia. So it’s good GDP countries ki were difficulties 29.

So this is really cool, but HS gives you it gives you the difficulties and actually tells you how many backlinks you’ll need. So in this in this isn’t rocket science, not like you, have to get 35, because there is. How do I put this there’s different criterias when it comes to ranking like domain age domain, ranking trust flow for your website, etc. But basically, what I’m doing over here is that I’m actually going down and I’m seeing who’s already ranking for on Google, so SERP, and so these are the top features Esquire.

So basically, what I want to do is I want to bang go for the best five. I just want to check it out right now. What we’re doing except me. I guess I have to right now we’re just quickly, although then I get accept, this is gdpr cool. So what we’re doing right now is just glancing on what they’re doing you know. Why is Esquire? Obviously ice core is a massive website right. So if you’re going back, what’s Esquire look domain ranking of 87 URL 22 backlinks 32, which is not that much but they’re getting about 2,000 a month so which is pretty good.

You know I have the out of the 3200, and so how did they design this right? It’s like, okay, you know nice image, they did a checklist right, checklists, always work. Well, then, each one leads to the shopping store. So this is kind of like the bottom of the funnel stuff for them. Alright, so I’ll go to the next one right best running shoes for every type of running. So how do they have it kind of like the same thing, a little bit more detail? Three shoe right runners: the world.

Has it twice? I think no, it’s the same. One, no block block okay, smart living. How do they have it all right kind of like a checklist, but they go into real detail alright compared to Esquire, which is like just like a Meta Description right here right and so basically, what you’re doing is scanning you’re scanning and you’re making notes right. So then, I would have like a we’ll go back to online text editor over here and so basically, what you’re doing is you’ll take these you’ll plug them over here as a bookmark right, bang, bang, bang, bang and then right, you’ll.

Take it you’ll. Make notes, write, checklists work, well, Rea checklists work. Well, you know high quality, high quality pictures, you know formatting is proper, etc. This is just for your own records, okay, and so let’s go back over here. So the key word or the anchor key word that we want to start our website with the eventually like I said, you’re not going to be ranking for this right away is best running shoes and so we’re going back to over.

Here we want to go, see the Esquire one. What I like to do is do go a little bit deeper. I see they have 32 backlinks, which is competitive and traffic value, organic keywords, etc, strong site, and so this is something where, like I’m going to add, then when I want to create something, call it the running shoes list, I’m going to add this keyword there, a New keyword, a new list so cute she was done okay, so this gives me a sense of who’s who right who’s.

Who for this keyword, next cool thing I like to do is what HS provides is something called search suggestions? So I click that – and this gives you longtail keywords that are related to your main anchor text. Keyword that you want so in this case, look at this boom best trail running shoes, global vol, 17 K, the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, South Africa, Indonesia, good GDP countries right people are bidding on it, 80 cents ray search volume, it’s low, but very specific, But slow start rolling for my country is from Canada, but global search volume, 17 game, but it’s low competition 13.

You need about 15 backlinks right, and so basically, what I’m doing right now is I’ll. Spend the next 2-3 hours going around. Put that in shoes right going around into a deep dive of different keywords. Right then I’ll go once again I’ll see who’s ranked you look runners world again, okay, let’s pull that up. How do they have that page same thing right so I’ll go back over here and I’ll say this is a keyword for like best trail shoes right at example there.

So I need my examples. Alright, then I’ll go again social suggestions and go down best trail. Shoes. 2006 best women’s trail, shoes right and you just do this all the time right. So I do this for a while, and I collect keywords and the next thing. What I like to do is: where is that website Runner’s World Bank? Once I find a direct competitor? What I like to do is plug them in see what they’re doing boom it’s powerful beast: whoa strong, strong, like bull gang traffic, two million they’ve been around forever 85 85 14 million backlinks.

This is a movie myth, but doesn’t mean you can’t steal some traffic from them. Bank attacks runners world at brands, brand brand brand brand cool cool cool. Basically, what I like to do is go to their keywords, see what they’re ranking for best running shoes they’re in third position on the open that next thing running Nike running shoes, open that as well. Half marathon training open that as well.

I’r schooling and opening up things that kind of catch, my eye, half marathon, training, sure Foam Roller, yon, core workouts, right, Brooke, shoes, sure best running shoes for men; yep. Let’s open that up minimalist shoes of let’s open that up: okay, that’s good! For now; okay, so best running shoes, global 88 semi-difficult! I don’t care! I want to add it like right now what I’m doing the editorial already had it cool Nike, running shoes, I’m just adding it so like.

I said what I’m doing right now, just really high-level tofu. So right now I mean categorizing these keywords per se. I’r just doing a deep dive and looking for potential keywords that other web sites are ranking for that have some potential for me to rank right and just quickly putting them in right. So this one’s 11 global people are bidding on it, which is really important. You know and I’m going when I’m looking this one 34 half-marathon.

Should I do it hard. I don’t care, let me put it in right. Put it into my list right, half marathon training sure put into my list: Foam Roller global volume, pretty hard. I don’t care sure, let’s just put into my list Brooke shoes, don’t wan na die days, but look people are bidding on it, a buck ten globally and it’s medium right fifteen. This is an actually really interesting keyword. I don’t even know what Brookes shoes are, but are they our brand shoes, they’re brand shoes boom, Brookes running sweet? She pretty cool all right.

Add that to my keywords and this one’s even super cool I’ll, go into more search suggestions here, tennis shoes. Look at this keyword. Volume is pretty low right. Brook shoes near me Brook shoe sale online, look super specific bang boom, three four five hundred volume for sure bang, so I’ll spend a long time doing this just going in and out looking at different keywords and putting in the list – and let’s say you spend a Couple of hours on that alright and let’s say, if you’ve accumulated forty, fifty keywords – you’re, obviously not going to target all them.

The next thing. What you’re doing for is. Let me go back to. Let me go back to this next thing. What you want to do is categorize, what’s what right, which ones are top of the funnel right best man’s running shoes for trails would be middle. The funnel right, so that’s very specific or like just good running shoes, would be at the top of the funnel. I’r just pulling things out of my head right now and it’s not science right, but I would spend time categorizing where these keywords would fit into this funnel now, once you have, let’s say how I would personally do what I would have and depending on the cadence Of how frequently you want to publish etc? Let’s say you have about: like I don’t know five keywords, each single one, then, what do you want to do is really narrow in the opportunity cost you’re going to look at ones that are going to take a really long time and you’re going to look at The ones that you have a pretty good chance, because, when you’re building out a new site, it’s going to take a long fucking time right, you have very low domain rankings.

Age of the domain is new. You have no backlinks built. You have no trust flow. So it’s going to take you a long time right, but there are much easier keywords to rank for than utter others right and so like, for example, Nike running shoes. You know this is just one thing: backlink, 79, 11. You know etc, and so basically, what you want to do is once you have everything categorized. You want to look through these keywords and you want to ask yourself: okay, which ones do I want to do first, that I know that I can kind of rank within three to four months based on keywords and which ones did I want to do that.

I know it’s a longtail game plan, which is like one in your minimum, where it’s going to take a very long time for me to build backlinks for that, it’s going to take a very long time for indexing. It’s going to take a long time for me to work up the positionings within Google, and so you have two parallel campaigns going in the exact same time. You have keywords which you can probably rank for within half a year, maybe in quicker, and you have keywords which is going to take a very long time and obviously each of them is in a different section of your tofu tofu and buh foo.

And so you spend your time, you know analyzing this and for me like in real time. I look at this AB like that’s kind of hard I’ll go back to this best running shoes, I’ll, go back to search for the suggestions and then I’ll look for something low. It’s like, like honestly, look at this keyword. Difficulty. 13. Let me click. This people are bidding on a 60 cents, organic 83 most GDP countries are good and I’m looking at my competition over here, it’s like okay, this one backlinks, only seven yeah domain.

You know strong its runners world, but still you know you’re not you’re not going to get number one, but you can probably get up to number fifteen on Google and slowly work your way up and so Mike. Okay, this one might make sense for me to start right away. It’s like spend money, I’m going to see who are the top five already articles, I’m going to do a better job in them and build my backlinks to this.

So that’s how I kind of start right: it’s not rocket science, but it’s more or less spending a lot of time and analyzing your customers and analyzing their keyword profile like at the end of the day. My listen here would be probably hundreds of keywords. I would have at least 15 to 20 competitors over here, but this is like the starting point that you’re, like fishing you’re, just kind of like massaging understanding the keywords, understanding who your competitors are understanding who your indirect competitors are and just understand the landscape and slowly Building off of that, so that’s kind of my first lesson when it comes to SEO stay tuned for the next once only kind of diving into more technical stuff really into the mofo bow fool funnel and really understanding of why’d.

You need to pick a certain one to go like. Why do you need to pick this keyword now as opposed to something else like so once, you’ve massaged everything once you have understood it every once you kind of publish a couple of guides and got in and get your site going, how you know, how do we Actually maximize our opportunity cost to move forward so stay tuned for the next article, and if you enjoyed this one leave a comment and I’ll talk to you guys soon.

Peace

6.2 : Accessing data in Google Analytics

They see via Google Analytics Google Analytics is important because what it shows you and tells you is what people have done once they’ve clicked on that pay-per-click link.

It can tell you where people have come from both in terms of a previous site and if it’s from Google itself, the search terms have been using to find you, but also what country and potentially, if you’re lucky in cases of the US and other areas. Potentially can get down to a region. What you should be learning from Google Analytics is about what your buyer persona expects from you when they land at your website.

This means that you can find from Google Analytics how long they’ve looked at your particular page. How many pages they may have traversed to go beyond on your website or whether they just bounce straight back to Google? In other words, they didn’t find what they were. Looking for. All of this tells you a lot about the content that you’re presenting as part of your pay-per-click advertising to your buyer persona.

We use Google Analytics by logging in you know, on a daily basis. We change the goals that are on our website, depending on the strategies and the different marketing activities that were that we undergo, and we can see you know clearly what’s happening – was really interested for us. When we recently launched a new website was high, the time on page changed either binary it differed and we were able to compare em high.

Our new responsive website performed on mobile and on versus desktop and look at the difference and conversion rates and the different blogs and the differences in terms of the traffic across those different areas. And this is all really powerful stuff and we’ve invested more in that responsive website because of the positive information taken from Google Analytics. First of all, we are it’s a work platform.

We are trying to combine and find information for all our online activities. It’s a free tool: how synergies with everything online. But again you cannot find the whole pixels because they have some issues and they cannot measure the whole traffic. So always, you will have some gaps and you will have some missing metrics, but it’s one platform helps you to see what is going on live in your website, a live data and second, you can group information from your whole digital activities.

The automated email funnel app for Shopify all right.

So me and my team went ahead and made this application for the sole purpose of making email marketing easy and also since I’m presenting it to you today, I wanted to give you guys access to a 14-day, a trial which you can get down in the description Below and you can go ahead and give us a world go ahead and give it a test drive and if it works for your business, I guarantee it’ll pay for itself and more.

So let me walk you guys through this entire platform, real quick and let you know exactly how to use it: how to set up these automated set-and-forget email funnels. So, as you can see, if you’re on the dashboard right now – and this is just a dummy account that I’m going to be walking you through so over here, you can see our weekly report, everything that’s going on with the app and we’re going to go ahead And start building out automated email funnels.

So let’s go to our funnel builder here to get started, and let me show you exactly what we’re going to be building our funnels around so over here we could just name this. You know test funnel one and then just give it a random description wherever you want, but most importantly, we want to focus on the triggers. So this is what starts an email sequence for your customers, based on the actions that you’re taking within your store.

So we have product purchase, we have product refund and also cart abandonment. These are the three primary ones that we have right now and also in the coming week. We’re going to be able to go ahead and send emails and create new triggers based on newsletters and also the minimum amount of money that certain customers have spent on your store or the LTV of your customers. So, for example, if someone has spent over a hundred dollars on your store and the entire duration of them being an existing customer, then they’re going to be put into a unique email series themselves.

And, of course, you could go ahead and customize that amount to set up to whatever you want to be able to be essentially a value threshold that will go ahead and send these customers an email based on what they’re doing, and you can go ahead and mark It to them accordingly, so for this example, we’re going to go ahead and just do a basic cart, abandonment, email and you could go ahead and even move forward with actually segmenting that specific, funnel with the specific products that you want, the funnel to be built for, But in this case we’re going to go ahead and do any product and we’re going to create a new email list so that we know every one that goes out and abandons cart is going to be on their own email list in our store.

So with that being said, we have that set up now we want to go ahead and build an email for that funnel. So let’s go ahead and build our drag-and-drop email with mail funnel. So this going to be our AC number one round description. You forgot this for the subject and then we’re going to go ahead and move forward with actually building this actual template now believe it or not. This is super easy for you to go ahead and do because we have all these pre-built content templates for you to actually work off of if you’ve never built good, looking emails or emails in general before so with that you can go ahead and check out our Dump for you email templates, we have a abandoned, cart, template right here, a post purchase and also a refund template, and that’s for, like all of our three basic triggers, and also in addition to that.

You have all these other categories that you can go ahead and check out to build the emails you desire, but, most importantly, one of my favorite ones that we have is the dynamic cart. So when we go ahead and plug this into our actual email template. This is going to adhere to whatever your customers are engaging with, so whatever products were in your customers. Cart, it’s literally going to pull the first three items that were in their cart and then plug them into this email, with the specific variance, the quantity that they had selected and more and then also at the bottom of this email.

It has a dynamic button over here and then also in this sub headline here that will direct them back to their actual checkout page with all of their shipping information all of the products in their cart and the variance already fulfilled in there, rather than bringing them Back to the actual website, or back to the cart page and everything is already pre fulfilled, reducing the hoops to jump through for your customers and also increasing your conversion rate on these emails into actual sales for your store.

So this placeholder right here is actually going to pull the first product image listed and Shopify for your product, so they’ll be reminded of exactly what’s in their cart: it’ll pull the product name, the variant, the color and the quantity or whatever options that you have for That specific product and actually go ahead and give them that button so, rather than leaving guys with just this template and all these placeholders, I want to show you guys how this actually looks in real life action.

So I’m going to go ahead and send a test email to myself here and you guys can do this if you have an account as well so literally just go to this little drop down menu and you do send test email. So you can go ahead and see what your emails look like before you start sending them to your customers. So we simply just go ahead and select any random product on our store and then we’re going to go ahead and send it to ourself.

So we’re going to send it to mail funnels at gmail.Com. This is just a junk email. Don’t send any emails here. Our real email address, if you wan na contact us, is support at fungals. Calm so be sure to go ahead and do that rather than spam. This email address cuz, you won’t get a response so over here we have this email that just came in and it says you forgot this for the subject and then right there.

We have our actual template here for the email address. So this is our dynamic. Cart. Template and both this link right here and the button at the bottom of the screen, will take them back to their checkout page. Alright. So with that, that is exactly what our dynamic cart template looks like, and if you wanted to go ahead and enhance it or add stuff around it, you could literally drag and drop whatever you desire below or above it or even within it.

So let’s say you wanted to go ahead and add an extra image somewhere, for example, and maybe show an entire collection. You could go ahead and add that at the bottom of your email, so that’s just a simple example of how to go ahead and build an email on mail funnels and then you can go ahead and simply plug it into your funnels here. So, let’s go ahead into our abandoned, cart, funnel and we’re going to add our first action to our email sequence.

So we’ll simply just label this, you know follow up number one, and then we select our email template, which is our EC one, that we just created and we’re going to go ahead and send this 10 minutes after someone abandons cart and we simply connect the nodes Right here and press save – and next thing you know people are able to go ahead and get this email on complete auto-pilot without you ever having to dive into your store and send some generic email that doesn’t convert or really adhere to what your customers been doing.

In their activity on your store, so with that being said, this is literally just a simple one: email sequence for your abandoned, cart. Funnel. Of course, you can add a bunch more after this literally, you could build out a seven or ten or 14-day sequence after this very first email and make sure that you’re doing your best to regain sales without being too spammy and making sure that you’re actually engaging With your customers – and you can do this with post-purchase emails, abandon cart, emails or refunds, and then soon to be in our next update in the coming week, is going to be newsletters and value-based triggers for your email funnel.

Build a Secure Blog with React, Gatsby, and Netlify

Today, I’d like to talk to you about building a website, actually a blog with Gatsby, so Gatsby is a tool for creating static websites with react and allows you to pull your data from virtually anywhere like a CMS or markdown files or even a database, and it Leverages graph QL to do that and webpack to combine everything and your react code to generate static files and also, you might have heard it called Jam.

Javascript API is a markup known as a jam stack. So that’s that’s what Gatsby fits into and we’re going to deploy that to neckla fire neckla Phi is a hosting company for static sites that offers continuous integration, HTML forms, AWS, lambda and a whole bunch of other things. Let’s get started. This screencast is based on a blog post. I wrote called build a secure blog with react, Gatsby and nullify, and at the bottom of this post it links to a github repo that has all the completed code.

So you’ll be able to see this. If you want at github calm, octave, developer, Gatsby nullify octa example, and in this there is a demo doc file, a dot for asciidoc and it can be rendered with the asciidoc plugin. So it looks a little nicer and you’ll see the table of contents. We’re going to start by creating a new project with gatsby, we’ll add the net left, ICMS check it into github, render the blog posts, add some markdown support and then use Gatsby’s node API to generate some static, blog pages and then we’ll secure it all with octa And fix some production build problems that happen because of that.

So I’m going to start by putting this on the left, and you should know that it says you will need node 12, a github account, which I already have a nullify account, which, if you go to net with i.Com, you can log-in and create one. I already have one so it’ll automatically log me in you can see. I do not have any sites yet developer. Dr. Comm is where you can sign up for a brand new octave developer account, so you can see, create free account there and we just prompt you for a few things.

You get up to a thousand monthly active users for free, so back to our instructions. You need to install Gatsby CLI first, I already have that installed. So if I do get the version you’ll see I’m using two eight thirty and then I’ll create a new Gatsby project using Gatsby new, and this just builds it from the Gatsby starter hello, world project. On github, then I’ll CD into that directory, and you can see the directory structure by excluding node modules and using the tree command, and if we do the NPM start, that will call NPM run develop and that will call Gatsby develop.

So I love the attention to detail that Gatsby uses because I typically run NPM start for most of my projects and the fact that that just works is pretty nice. So if you go to localhost 8,000, so not a lot going on so far, let’s install the net Liffe ICMS and it’s Gatsby plugin. So little control see out of there and you’ll notice, I’m using version numbers for both of these plugins. You don’t have to.

If you don’t want to, but this tutorial might not work so I’ve tested these and verify that they work and then I’m going to open this up in BS code. And if you go to the Gatsby config file, you can add the net with ICMS here. As a plugin and then under static, create a new file, admin, config, yml and then put this the animal in it and what this does as it configures your project, so it’ll have a blog and the blog will have a path, a date, a title and a Body and you have to fix the animal, unfortunately, that copy and paste it and work so well.

It looks correct in the blog post, so if you got one from there and everything will work so nothing like the any animal developer, close copy and paste am ma’am seems to fail every time. Okay, now that we have that up, we can go and open the terminal here: option Tildy or is it control Tilly? There we go and then we can do NPM start and it’s building the development bundle. So now, if we go to localhost 8080 one to login, so we can create a new blog.

We just have a test repo or in our vs code. It says test repos the back end, so this is just an in-memory repo. So if we had like blog first post and then we said hello, world and blogs are awesome and so is back down, and then we change it to mark down over here. Oh, I didn’t like that. So then we save it, publish it. You can see if we go back to our blog collection. It’s there. The problem is, if we restart it, it’ll go away, that’s just because we’re using a test back in so now we can create a github repo and add our project into it.

So I will go to github.Com and, under my account, new repository and call it Gatsby that Wi-Fi octa okay, okay, three posit Ori now grab this and we need to add our project to get so get in it and then get add everything and get come in And add project to github and copy and paste those two commands now if we go to nullify this app that notified comm, so I start we will integrate it with our github authorized us now we can search for neckla, fie, yeah yeah, and then you can use The defaults and just click deploy site and, if you scroll down to production, deploys you can see it’s actually being deployed after a while you’ll see, site is live down at the bottom of your deploy log and if you scroll up to the top and go back To your project – and you will see the URL for your project there and look at that – it’s deployed to nullify so that part was pretty easy.

You’ve built a react, app checked it in the source, control and published it to production, not only that you’ve used natla fire in its continuous delivery platform for actually deploying your site. So anytime, you check in any code to your github repo it’ll automatically be deployed. So, let’s do some other things: let’s modify the net with ICMS to use github as the backend so start by changing this to name equals github and the repo to be are we deployed yeah speak now? Okay, now we can save that and commit it and github as a back-end, because without this anytime we save or make any changes.

The files won’t be saved if you restart the app. So we don’t want that so push this to production, get push origin master. Now, if you go back to net lo-fi that will kick off another build, you can see down here, it’s building another one, and so once that’s done, we will be able to login with github to modify the back-end files. Okay, so the site is live now we can refresh and if we’re to go to admin.

Sometimes you do need a slash on the end, but it appears to add it so bad indentation doesn’t like our gamal. So, let’s see what’s the problem: oh we got a back tick there. So we’re going to fix that get course the animals, the problem. So we fix that now we can refresh and you’ll see it prompts us to log in with github. So there’s no off provider configured for github, so we have to do some work there.

If we go back to our instructions, you’ll notice, the first thing to do is to go to your site settings and navigate to access control and down to OAuth. So back up to our site and site settings and access control and install provider, so we’re going to use github for this, but first we have to go ahead and add it on github. So if we go to github developer settings, you can see that’s at setting. Slash apps, Oh author haps, we can add a new one, we’ll call this SB blog and you’ll grab your home page URL from nullify.

So this guy right here. Yes, then the callback URL is all done from API. Now, if I calm and we can register our application and then we’ll get the client ID and client secret from that, so client ID secret and then we’ll install that as an authentication provider. Now, if we go back to our content manager and try again this time, it’ll prompt us to authorize as our user, and so this makes a lot of sense to me because this blog is stored in github.

So why not store our blog post in github? So we can start with creating a new blog post, we’ll give it a path of something like first post and we’ll say hello, world and it’ll. Do it and markdown and fabulous there. We are and then emoji just to spice things up a bit all right. Then we could publish that and if we go back to our blog collection, we’ll see it’s there, not only that, but if we go back to our project and do git pull origin, master it’ll actually pull that file and you can see it was created in the Blog directory, so now the next thing we want to do is add the ability to render those blog posts on the UI of the Gaspee application.

So for this I’m going to open up in IntelliJ the reason I’m using intelligence Ted of es code is because it has the ability to pre-record code snippets – and I know V s code does as well, but what I wasn’t able to do is figure out how To do long blocks and they have just little snippets. So if you know how to do that with vs code, please let me know, but I’m going to create a new component, log-roll JS file, so components log-roll is this is my blogroll component and what this is? You see here, it extends from react component has data that it grabs and it basically grabs the posts and maps them into a featured post and then the various you know listing a post beyond that and an excerpt from the post and then a link to keep Reading and then it uses this graph QL to actually go and get all the blog posts and formulate the data so and will also create a page called source pages blog KS.

And this is going to use that blogroll component and just show all the latest posts and then we’ll add a link to that in the pages index is so we’ll grab the code here and you’ll see it just renders hello world, and then it has a link To view the block, so we can restart gatsby make sure it’s not running back here. It’s not so we’ll close that one and then NPM start. So it’s building that it’s pulling in the blog posts and you’ll notice.

There’s an error because it nut cannot query the field all markdown or mark on type query. So that’s because markdown isn’t actually added at this point. We don’t have markdown support. So the add markdown pages Doc’s from Gatsby, show that Gatsby follows the following steps for making this happen. It reads the files in the Gatsby from the file system. It transforms the markdown to HTML and the frontmatter to data.

So in that blog post itself, you, if you were to look at the blog, you can see that there’s frontmatter on there just like if you’re using Jekyll and then it adds a markdown file, creates a page component for the markdown files and create static pages using Gatsby’s nodejs create page API, so we need to enable all that so we’ll start by installing the Gatsby plugins for a markdown support. While that’s running, we can configure them in gatsby, config j/s.

So right now, that’s just the Gatsby plug-in for net worth. I we’re stuff that net liffe I plugin, but now we have the source file system that reads from the blog and it uses markdown pages and then transforms them. So now we can do NPM start. If we go to the localhost 8080, you blog, we can see that that’s actually rendering and you’ll notice. It doesn’t actually use markdown in the preview, but if you were to click on the post itself, it will but what this doesn’t work, what the heck? Well, that’s? Actually expected because we didn’t tell Gatsby to generate pages for each of those blog posts, so will create a Gatsby nodejs.

This will do the processing of our pages for the markdown. So you see here it uses the create pages API and it uses this blog template uses this graph QL to build all those blog pages, handles any errors and then goes ahead and creates the page. So we do have to create that template click templates blog s then get to the blog template. You can see here it just grabs the data grabs, a markdown from it and then puts it in an HTML template and uses one of my favorite named attributes dangerously set in an HTML, that’s from the process.

Markdown and then this is the page query for it, and so now we should be able to restart and see our markdown rendered properly. Now we should be able to refresh this page and it’ll work. There we are and our markdown is rendering. Now we can check this in, add, get commit, you’ll get push it and we can go back to nutloaf I and see that it’s deploying that and once your site is live, you can go back to the main page there and view the blog and you’ll see That your markdown pages are rendered.

So that’s pretty slick now, let’s add an account section, so we can have a part of the app that’s actually secured and it’ll use octave to secure it. But the general notion is: this: won’t be a static part of your app. This will be somewhere people log into, and maybe they subscribe to a newsletter, maybe they update their settings or the subscription or something like that. So we’ll start by creating a pages account that j/s file.

So you can see this just has a home link. That goes back to the home page, a settings link and then an account and not much to it at this point, so we can link to it from our index page I’ll, say my account and since this won’t actually be static, content is going to be dynamic. Content at the bottom of gatsby node. We have to add this that excludes the account function for the account page. So you can see here it still calls on create page, but it says hey: if the path matches account, then don’t bother doing it.

So now we’ll make this section secure with octa. So I have an octa developer, account at dev, 1, 3, 3 to 0. Login to that and so you’ll create a new application applications at application, and this will be, I believe, it’s a single page application yep and then we’re going to enter a name like gatsby account and all of these login redirect URI so go to a single page. Will say: Gatsby blog and we’ll change this to the default of 8,000, and then this one will be 8,000 account just double check, I’m getting that right, yep and then 9000 account and the reason for 9000 is because when you run the production build locally, it will Run on 9000, so if you do Gatsby build, it builds all your static assets and the new do Gatsby serve.

That will do it on 9000, instead of 8,000, which is more of a developer thing. So we’ll change that to 9000 and then also our net LeFay site so grab this URL and you’ll have to do this for any app that you want to deploy to production because all of the redirects have to be white listed and wildcards aren’t allowed. This is the most secure way of doing off. So that’s why we do it that way: okay, so you’ll notice, we’re using authorization code flow and not implicit flow.

This actually uses pixie public key proof exchange proof key yeah, something like that, but it’s very secure proof. Key code exchange, so it generates a one-time code and then it sends that with the request, when you get the code back, it sends that to get the token so works nicely. If you go to API trusted or origins, you also have to add all those trusted origins. So it added one for us, but that’s the local build called local pride, build an HP, HTTP localhost 9000.

So that will work and then cores and redirect and then do another one for a net worth. I and you just need to do the main name and of course, and redirect so now our apps all setup and you’ll notice. These follows instructions over here for a trusted origin, and now, once the lock does sign-in widget, so this is latest version 3.72, while that’s going will create a new login component while getting that jeaious.

Now this works is it has some configuration for octa so we’ll need to grab from our dashboard our org URL. So that goes right here and then from our applications, the client ID and then there’s some customizations. I did to give it a Gatsby logo and you’ll see the redirect URI, since this does get evaluated by Gatsby. I basically ignore, if there’s window in there and then otherwise, we grab the window location, origin and then the auth parameters say hey.

Pixie is true and the response type as a token and an ID token. So this will be an access token, and this is the element that we’re going to bind to. So we create a new off to sign-in Widgit and then we grab the user as a state and when the component mounts we go ahead and grab the auth client and we grab a session. And if that session exists and it’s active, then we clear the parameters from the browser window.

We set the user name in the state and we set is authenticated to true and then we get the access and the ID tokens and save those in local storage. So this is the API that does that for you and then you could say hello to the person who just signed in so both in the console it reloads the page. So it will be able to grab that and render it in the page as well, and then, if there’s any errors, go ahead and remove it and render it in that sign in.

So that’s how all that works and we replace those placeholders so now in account. Jeaious we need to modify that to have a little more account logic. So you can see here. The account is now its component, its own component, and it grabs that user state and how is authenticated, works as it gets. That is authenticated, true or false, and then it grabs the ID token and sets the user from that with their name and if the token has expired, it goes ahead and clears out everything and logging out.

It uses a sign out method and then sets local storage to false and sets a user to false in the navigates back to the beginning. So then it renders the user’s name, this state user and it adds a logout button. So now, if we restart the app with NPM start, we can go to localhost 8080 window and I can do my account and you’ll see we’re prompted to log in and now has my name in there. And, of course I can click settings or back to my account or back to the home and that’s all working, so I can even log out there.

So one thing that does happen. If I were to run Gatsby build, it will show an error because the sign-in widget isn’t meant to be used, server-side or doesn’t have support for a server-side rendering. So you can see windows not defined and that’s in the actual sign-in widget. So we can’t really control that it shows the files that that exists in and the path to get to it. So what you can do is in the bottom of Gatsby node.

You can modify the webpack config to basically ignore the sign-in widget as a dependency. So you see on create web pack config if the build HTML stage is happening and just exclude and use a null loader for that. So now, if we were to try again this time, it’ll work there we are, and now we can run gatsby serve you’ll see it runs it on 9000 before to try it there. Let’s try in an incognito window, 1 9000 doesn’t help.

Cores so looks like we might have messed up something in our octa. Config go to api trusted origins, Oh ghost! Oh I’d used HTTP. So my bad save that now. If we try again this time, it’ll work so make sure you have your core settings correctly or you’ll end up with an information or an error like that one now back to our instructions. The next thing I want to show you is how to add user registration, so if you go to users, registration and click on edit, if this is the first time you’ve done, it you’ll see a different screen.

That just says: do you want to actually enable this? But if you’ve done it before and turn it off, it’s a little different. So now we have that – and these are just all the defaults. It’ll show the sign up link on the sign-in widget, but we do have to configure that first. So in log in is once you’ve turned it on. I have to go in here and add a bit of configuration at the top, so we have our auth params and add a new and called features and registration.

True and then we can go ahead and rebuild it and right and Gatsby serve, and now, if we log out they were to click my account, you can see that there’s a sign-up link now and it uses that same sign-in widget. So it just prompts you for the email password first name last name and you can adjust those if you want, so you can add new users that way so pretty sweet. You did it or we did it and we can check this in and say octa for off, because friends, don’t let friends, write, authentication and I’m your friend.

So the other thing you can do is you can extend Gatsby’s functionality, so we added octave for authentication, but if you want to use, add sign up for a newsletter like with tiny letter, that’s pretty neat site. I have a friend that uses it and I read all his newsletters so that works really nicely and you can also store your user settings in Octus, since you have the users information, so our octa node sdk would allow you to do that or any back-end SDK And in fact, if you’re developed like a Java or.

Net one, you could use fetch right from your Gatsby application. Of course, you could do it note as well, but this is how that code might look so in your component did mount you go and fetch the user settings you’d pass the bearer token or the access token from the token manager, and you get your data back And you could do what you wanted with it, so this blog post again is available at our octa developer blog, the github repo is on octave developer as well, and if you want to see the developer or the octave sign-in widget, you can customize that as well.

We have a little cloud for our issue, but that came up so you can make this look all kinds of different ways that you want to make it look and the we’ll show you how to do it. So thank you for reading. If you go to our YouTube blog, which you are likely reading this on, that’s at youtube.Com see /dr dev. We have many more tutorials on how to use various api’s and authentication mechanisms and please subscribe, and I hope you have a great day.

Thank you.

Why SMMA is the best business model to start in 2020!

No time, okay, guys and welcome back to the article so, like I said in the introduction in today’s article, I am basically go to give my two cents on business models, online business models and why I think that social, media, marketing or SMA or the social media Agency business model is the best to start in 2020.

Now, for those of you that do not know who, I am, my name is Josh. What angle George, I own, a social media marketing agency here in the Netherlands called brand paneer, which is currently doing six figures, and they also have my own coaching business, where I basically teach you guys on how to start your own social media business. Okay. Now, with that said, the reason why I started social media marketing about three four years ago was because Lisi required no startup capital, and that is also one of the main reasons why I’m such a big advocate of social media marketing, because all these other business models Affiliate marketing, CPA, dropship and what else have you got? Amazon FBA you’ve also got a bowl which is like the Dutch Amazon FBA, like all these.

Other business models require startup capital because you need to invest in either paid traffic or you need to invest in products. You need to do product test and you need to you know, ship those products to the Amazon warehouse with a boulder come warehouse. You know this there’s so much upfront investment required that it makes it extremely difficult for those without just starting out and want to in money online.

Without you know a prior investments, it makes it really difficult for you guys to actually start it, whereas with social media marketing. That is not the case. You can literally now go and knock on some business owners door and basically you know explain to them why they need to set up Facebook ads, and you know just ask for a monthly retainer fee now with that said, obviously, for those of you that have no, I they were social media marketing.

Is you guys are a bit confused right now? Basically, social media marketing is basically where you show business owners how to set up Facebook ads, and obviously you run them yourself as well. You set up the Facebook ads for a business owner and you help them get in more business. Okay, so for e-commerce stores, that means you’re going to get them more sales and, for you know any other business. You know you basically focus on getting them more leads and more clients.

So, for example, let’s say you have a gym as a client and it’s it’s a high-end gym. You know personal trainers and the saunas and stuff like that, and it’s a hundred euros a month to actually go to that gym. Okay, so a monthly subscription, it’s a hundred euros. That means that is 1200 euros a year and let’s say you can get this clients. This order, the owner of the gym, you can get them an extra ten members, a month which is easily doable with Facebook Ads.

If you don’t lead your ads to this gym. That means that you’re getting them 12 K a year every single month because you’re getting them 10 members a month, each member is 1200 a year. Ten members 12 K. You know. That is how easy you can get money for this business and if you ask for 1,000 a month for this, you know they are more than happy to do that because during Ulysses still 12 X and their return on investment, okay – and that is the way social Media marketing can help businesses, but also help you as a business owner as well, because you know you are in and money from providing a service that is also helping that business, so everyone wins basically, and that is why social media marketing is it’s such a great Business model, because, as soon as you set up all these advertisers etc, there’s no need to know physically be in a specific location, okay, its location independence.

So you can set all these ads from Thailand. You can set these ads up from the US. You can set these answer from Europe, it does not matter and it doesn’t matter the business owner either. Okay, these are care if you’re on the beaches of Thailand or you’re, stuck in your bedroom or in a little kiosk you’re setting up the ads. All they care about is the results okay. So if this is a results based service and you get paid a monthly fee for this, so you know it doesn’t matter if you are in the office or you’re on the beach.

As long as you’ve got a laptop and an internet connection, you can do this service okay, so that is another reason why social media marketing is great to start off with, because it allows that location, freedom and it’s it’s nowadays. Everything is moving towards like a remote type business or a remote site, tasks no type job, because people no longer want to be stuck in a specific place and with technology.

Nowadays it’s no longer needed. Okay, you don’t need to be stuck in an office stuck in a kiosk. You don’t need to physically be anywhere because if you have a meeting with someone, no you can just have a flyer Skype, but you can have a value. You can call a person up on whatsapp, no there’s no reason end long, it be in an office. Okay and more and more businesses are realizing this, and that is why you know these businesses won’t care.

If you are like says you’re on the Bahamas – or you know you’re in Bali, setting up these advertisements because all they care about is that bottom line? Are you bringing them in more business? Yes, is it with the investment thing new? Yes? Well then, they are more than happy to pay. You open some 1000 a month for this service. Okay, so, like I said, no upfront investments required its location independence and the fears reason why I highly recommend social media marketing is that you don’t necessarily need to have the skills okay.

Now I understand that might sound a bit weird, because I’ve just spoken about Facebook ads and you know how we can help businesses grow by leveraging Facebook ads but who’s to say that you are the person that needs to set up those ads. Okay, you are the business owner. You do not need to necessarily settle the ads if you do not want to. If you have the skills and you have the knowledge and you have the expertise and you know you want to keep all the money for yourself, then.

Obviously be my guess and set off the ads, but if you want to scale this business – and you know that there’s someone else out there that can do a better job than you and really it is in your right to actually give that job or give that Client to a contractor okay, so you are the business owner. You have a contractor where come below you or with you or alongside you that sets up the ads. You close the deal and you get someone else to do the ads for you.

Okay, I, like I said, there’s nothing wrong with that because you are the business owner, you own the agency, you do not necessarily to work in the agency, so you don’t need to necessarily work in the business. You can work on the business, so you can wear, hung, get any more clients and then you’ve got a contractor setting off the ads and doing the service for you, okay, but I said that is only if you want to if you actually enjoy doing the ads Or if you want to learn that skill or if you’re, just starting out – and you don’t want to outsource this because you actually need the money, then just do it yourself until you get off so the same point that you cannot, you can no longer take on More way, then, obviously you’re doing it to outsource and you can start building a team okay, so I hope you got some how’s this if you are interested installing your own social media agency, but you’ve got no idea how to get started.

I also have a free training which is linked in description box down below for those of you that are ready to take action and actually wants to start an agency alongside me and want to weigh together with me. I also have a coaching program again. It will linked it’s all linked in description box down below where I list, we take you by the hand and push your agency to the next level and also to that six-figure mark okay.

So I hope you got some out of this subscribe to the blog for more and I’ll, see you guys in the next article

Accessibility with Marcy Sutton – The State of the Web

”. My guest is Marcy Sutton Head of Learning at Gatsby and former Developer Advocate at Deque Systems and today we’re talking About web accessibility, Let’s get started: [ MUSIC PLAYING ], So Marcy thanks for being here. What exactly does Accessibility mean MARCY SUTTON To me. It Means building websites that include people With disabilities, both building for People with disabilities and with people With disabilities, including them as Stakeholders hiring them to work on our teams.

Paying them for their work to review things. For accessibility and give us feedback Along the way, RICK VISCOMI, So when a Website isn’t accessible. What’s at stake, MARCY SUTTON A lot! If you think about how many Services are moving online if accessibility isn’t Built in then, it could present Barriers for people with disabilities, where They can’t use the service They might give up and Leave or worse, it might cause harm to Them if they have something like a traumatic Brain injury or seizure risk So there’s actually Quite a bit at stake if the web isn’t accessible, RICK VISCOMI, So even with The Domino’s lawsuit recently that came out where They lost their appeal.

Do you think that Websites will actually have a push towards more Accessible websites, especially now that lawyers Realize the legal risk MARCY SUTTON In The United States legislation can certainly Help and people can lean on the Law in this country to enforce their civil rights, So having rulings like The Domino’s ruling could potentially Help since there has been an absence of rulings, In favor of including websites under the Americans, With Disabilities Act, but I think there will be More to read in that space I have seen and read and Heard about companies looking at competitors, That have been sued and sort of feeling like Oh, maybe we’re next, so there can be some Market pressure, if there are legal actions being taken And if that’s what it takes, To make something accessible, then I think that’s moving.

In the right direction, RICK VISCOMI, Where do The breakdowns typically happen when a website Becomes inaccessible, Are the managers just Not buying into it Are the developers unaware Of the importance of it, lack of developer Tools all of the above MARCY SUTTON, I think It’s mostly an education issue and awareness, So to sort of try and Solve this problem, I advocate building a Culture around accessibility, so that everyone at the company Is involved and invested From project managers to Designers and developers, we all have a part to play in Making the web more accessible – And it is true that A lot of people just aren’t aware of the Impact that they could have There’s also the misconceptions That accessibility is costly and maybe not worth it.

It’s too niche of an audience, But actually it can improve. Things for a lot of people, If you think of it in Terms of inclusive design, the benefits that we Put into our websites like keyword, support, improving Contrast and font size those can help a lot of people, So it’s definitely worth it. And it’s easier and less costly. If you do it from the beginning, RICK VISCOMI. Is it something –? 10 % of the population has Some form of disability, so it’s more than niche, It actually affects A lot of people, MARCY SUTTON – I think it’s More than that, actually one in five people – RICK VISCOMI, Oh wow, MARCY SUTTON And the range of Disabilities is pretty wide, so there’s all Kinds of scenarios that people can be Browsing your website and they might have situational Or temporary disabilities People are born With disabilities There’s a whole spectrum of How people use the web that’s really kind of beautiful And if we can Embrace that, like we did with responsive Design and letting go of some of that control.

Over pixel perfection and how the user actually Visits our website there’s some real opportunities. There to innovate and make things that are way more robust, RICK VISCOMI. What did you Mean by situational disability, MARCY SUTTON, If You break your arm if you have a baby in one arm. Or a cup of tea or coffee, you might hold your Phone in a different way or have to switch arms If you are born with Something like that, you might permanently not Be able to use your arms, And so you have to use other Input modalities like voice, or maybe you use a joystick With your mouth or something And so there’s new Devices and ways of navigating that don’t rely.

On the default of perfectly working limbs and the abilities That most people, think of So there are some Opportunities and people are pretty resilient. They figure out ways. To navigate the web And if we can Support them better, then that’s pretty awesome, RICK VISCOMI That Reminds me of Android Auto, where, if I’m driving My car, my phone, is not necessarily a thing. I’r putting Right directly, in my face So their way of Interfacing with devices changes entirely depending On your situation, MARCY SUTTON, Yes and a Lot of those technologies were developed for People with disabilities, so it’s worth Considering that, maybe some of the things that We appreciate, and we can use every day were invented.

For people who needed it, RICK VISCOMI, I want to go back. To something that you mentioned earlier about having Users with disabilities, or even people with Disabilities on your team, as part of the Development process, How can you implement Accessibility as part of the Process in a way that ensures that the website’s Going to be accessible, MARCY, SUTTON Well, Certainly including people on your teams to be Stakeholders and provide feedback in regular intervals.

That would be the best way. Is to have people embedded on your teams who Have disabilities mainly because they Have experiences and perspectives that, as Able-Bodied developers, we just can’t make that up. It’s not your lived experience. So having that feedback, all the Time would be truly valuable And people get to Work on your teams and you pay them for Their work and I think that’s a really good way to go: RICK VISCOMI, How about Part of the design process, If a website, for example, Is built to be entirely using Canvas or Flash or Something if people have a specific technology, In mind where it’s just never going to be accessible, How can you actually prevent that from happening Where, in the design Process, do you actually make those decisions? To be accessible, MARCY SUTTON, I think Having some requirements about how users should be able To navigate the site should definitely start in design, I mean hopefully you’re Not getting too locked down on a given technology, — RICK, VISCOMI Hopefully not Flash MARCY SUTTON — in The design phase Yeah Flash no way But Canvas –.

There have Been whole websites built with Canvas And accessibility Unfortunately, was an afterthought in A lot of those cases – And we do have some Standards for Canvas that are better than They were four years ago, but you still have To re-implement a lot of native Functionality that you would get for free if you used The DOM or the Document Object Model RICK VISCOMI. Are you referring To the Accessibility Object Model, MARCY SUTTON, No, So with Canvas.

If you Provide fallback content, there’s a method called Draw focus if needed, You can pass off some Of these interactions from the two-dimensional Canvas Which is essentially a bitmap to that fallback content. And try to create some sort of a Semantic experience, but that’s a lot of work And if you can use the Document Object Model which does feed into what’s. Called the accessibility tree –, which is a fancy Term for a structure with accessibility, information – –: you can do a lot and Communicate to users of assistive technology, What’s going on on the screen, RICK VISCOMI, What’s the Current state of accessibility in developer tools, Either in the browser or as part of testing MARCY SUTTON, Pretty Great actually From when I got started as a Front-End developer everything for accessibility in terms Of this accessibility tree that I mentioned all Of that information was sort of hidden Under the hood And you had to go, Crawl through the Dom and go look at what was on The page and sort of just know what was going on there And now we have developer tools.

Like in Chrome and in Firefox, and it’s amazing how much you Can learn about accessibility through those tools? It would be great to Have more but we’ve come a really long way. Both with built-in dev tools and browser extensions, And automated tools, so I think the future is pretty Bright in terms of tooling RICK VISCOMI, What was your Experience with axe-core and what did it do? Marcy SUTTON, axe-core Is an accessibility API written with JavaScript? It’s an open source library that I used to work on full-time And it’s used in both Lighthouse And Accessibility, Insights from Microsoft, so it’s sort of An engine and a common rule set for testing accessibility And its used a lot of places.

It’s pretty cool, There’s other APIs. As well like WAVE and some others that aren’t Coming to mind at the moment, but it’s nice to have a common Set of rules and the engine that people can Count on and they can use it in different ways: Such as in browser extensions and in automated tooling To use a common rule set so that some Testers on your team aren’t using a different set. Of rules than the developers, for example, Because then you’re working Off two different sets of requirements, and it can Be hard to meet in the middle RICK VISCOMI You had Mentioned that axe-core’s integrated with Lighthouse The HTTP Archive runs Lighthouse On 5 million websites, so we can get some Of that analysis from axe-core aggregated To the scale of the web, I actually have a few stats, So 22 % of web pages tested Passed the color contrast audit from axe-core 50 % of pages are passing the Lighthouse image alt attribute being present audit, So it’s kind of surprising To see how low accessibility adoption is in certain Areas of the web and having a tool like Axe-Core is just really great to be able to get That visibility, MARCY SUTTON, Sadly It’s actually better than I expected RICK VISCOMI That Is pretty sad, MARCY SUTTON? It is sad Yeah, it’s depressing.

There is a project from WebAIM Called The WebAIM Million, where they ran the WAVE automated tool. Against the top 1 million home pages – And that was also a Very sad set of results because, as an industry, We have a lot more work to do a lot of work to Do to make that better Tools are helpful. In highlighting some of these low-hanging fruit, Things that we need to fix. But if we look at It in aggregate the picture is not very Pretty at the moment, RICK VISCOMI You Co-Authored “ Smashing Book 6” with your chapter titled “ Accessibility in Times of Single-Page, Apps.

”. So in what ways do accessibility, And single-page apps not play well together: MARCY SUTTON, Quite A few, unfortunately, I mean all of the Basics of accessibility apply if you’re building A website that’s heavy, with JavaScript So things like image, alt text and color contrast, But when we have this Javascript layer, that’s taking over a lot of The interactions that would be happening, In a web browser, we have to do a bit more To support users who are navigating with Assistive technology and using the keyboard Things like focus management, making announcements Using unobtrusive motion, If we’re using a Lot of JavaScript to try and delight Users, we have to try not to cause Harm with those But I’d say, probably the Focus management piece is the biggest Thing that we have to handle because If the browser is not refreshing, the page When the page changes a user using a Keyboard might be stuck in the prior part of The screen, or they have no idea what happened – If they’re in a screen reader or something So we have to manage Their experience going through the Application and that can be pretty cool.

Actually, I think it’s another area, That we can innovate And I’m hoping that frameworks And potentially browsers could help make this easier, So that would be a good space. To try and move the needle a bit to support developers without Them all having to re-implement all of the same things: RICK VISCOMI, Even kind of More of an old-school UI component, like modal dialogs Has its own focus problems? Can you describe some of The accessibility issues with modal dialogs and What’s being done on the HTML standard side to fix that MARCY, SUTTON Sure yeah, So modal dialogs are An example of some of these same Things I was talking about with focus management, So you have a layer that Opens up over the screen, It probably has content Behind it, maybe a screen curtain to gray it out When that modal opens, you Have to send focus into it, so the keyboard user Or screen reader user is in the right.

Part of the page they’re not left behind The modal window, So that means that you Also need to disable any interactive content. Behind that modal window and that part can Get pretty tricky You have to do some DOM Walking potentially set aria-hidden and tabindex On interactive controls and most people are not Going to do that DOM walking It’s hard. It’s expensive performance, Wise and you have to do it –, you know every time the modal Opens walk it down and –.

It’s like you’re doing it. In inverse both directions, So what would be great Is in the standard space, if we could have Something like HTML inert. It’s an attribute that Was proposed a while back, I think it was at Risk of being removed – and nobody is convinced, That we really need it. This is me officially Saying yes, we need it because the alternative Is a lot of DOM walking that, frankly, very little People are going to do So.

What that would do for us Is make it a lot easier to set a Boolean attribute in Html to effectively disable whole subtrees of the HTML Dom And that way when we send focus into a Modal, we don’t have to do as much in the background. It helps to have Sibling elements, so maybe the modal and the Content behind it are siblings. That way, you can just turn Off all the other content, So that does take a bit Of work from the developer to structure their DOM that Way, but that attribute would solve a whole Lot of pain, as well as the dialog element in HTML, That’s another one.

That’s At risk of being removed, I think it’s Firefox At this point that we need to implement dialog That could give us some of this Behavior for free, like focus management having a Semantic HTML element that would tell users of Assistive technology that it is a dialogue, So there’s some Patterns here that — to have every Developer in the world have to re-implement the same Things over and over again, it seems like we should Have some more primitives for making that easier, RICK, VISCOMI Yeah That sounds super important MARCY SUTTON And complicated [ CHUCKLING ], RICK VISCOMI, You’ve advocated In the past, for something called an accessibility, Statement, What is that, and why is that? So good for accessibility, MARCY, SUTTON, Accessibility, Statements are great tools, no matter what kind of a website You’re making, whether it’s with heavy JavaScript or not So an accessibility, Statement is generally a page on your website.

That’s easy to find: maybe it’s linked. Your website footer, and it has things Like what you’re doing to improve accessibility, Maybe what level of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines? That you’re aiming for It’s nice to have that Goal and that target whether or not you’ve Actually met it, but you have to keep actively Working at that to improve You can also collect Any accessibility, tips or information about Keyboard shortcuts or ways to use your website For accessibility and ways for users To contact you, That’s one of the Most important pieces having an affirmative Statement that says: hey, we might not Be perfect at this, but we’d love your feedback.

And get in touch with us And if people do Act on that feedback, So it’s opening That conversation to bring people in and Make them feel included and give them a way To give you feedback, Because a lot of These websites that have glaring Accessibility issues: we have no way to contact them, So you might see some tweets Of people calling out companies because they can’t use the Website or the service, Maybe an update to the Website or application breaks, what used to work? So if you have That statement it gives people a way to contact You in an official blog so that you can act On that feedback, RICK VISCOMI, It must be really Reassuring to go to a website and see that they actually Care about accessibility, MARCY, SUTTON, Absolutely RICK, VISCOMI, So What resources would you recommend for Web developers, who want to learn more about Creating accessible websites, MARCY SUTTON, So many –, The A11Y Project, Is really great? There’s an accessibility, Course, from Alice Boxhall and Rob Dodson at Google, on Udacity, I have a page on my website.

It’s MarcySutton.Com, There’s a web accessibility. Resources guide there and I collect things like Books and tools and articles and things that I refer to a lot There’s quite a bit out there. From companies like WebAIM, They have really great articles Deque. My former employer has A thing called Deque University: They offer free Accessibility, training to people with disabilities; Which is really great So there’s definitely a wealth.

Of information out there Just getting it to the people, To solve this education problem is sort of the gap that We need to figure out RICK VISCOMI And how About No Mouse Mondays, or what do you call it? Marcy SUTTON? Yes, I released an npm Package this week to sort of put a tool in the Hands of developers to turn off the mouse cursor for everyone, It was sort of a Joke but it actually could be useful as a Dev tool so something to pull into your Project maybe one day a week to actually have a No mouse day of the week, RICK VISCOMI, That reminds me Of 2G Tuesdays or something to get the feel for Slow performance, MARCY, SUTTON, Yeah, RICK VISCOMI.

I think That’s a good idea: MARCY SUTTON Yeah, It’s sort of a Chaos Monkey Approach to things of you know, if you Unplug, your mouse or don’t have that capability. How resilient is your design? Can you actually use it And some of the most Glaring accessibility challenges I see are with color Contrast and a lack of keyboard access, So if we could Somehow, culturally, build in tools and processes. To get us thinking about that, that would help So the No-Mouse Mondays is the First experimental version, but I have plans for it: RICK VISCOMI, It’s a good idea, All right Marcy.

This has been great Thanks for coming on the show MARCY SUTTON. Thank you. So much for having me RICK VISCOMI, You Can check out links to everything we talked about? In the description below, Thanks for reading and We’ll see you next time, [ MUSIC PLAYING ]
