The Printed Blog

Blogging Content for Offline Publishing - a new Model

In yesterday’s  PRINTED BLOG REVIEW  we introduced the world’s first daily newspaper "The Printed Blog" consisting entirely of online-produced and user-created content, i.e. Blogs. So in a way it operates like a News Feed or RSS, however, you can hold it in your hands and page through it like a normal traditional newspaper while sipping your morning coffee on your terrace or lying comfortably on your couch.

Sounds great - doesn’t it?

 

Blogging Content for Offline Publishing - a new Model

There’s more to it: in an era where Social Networks are flooding the Internet, presidential candidates gather decisive online electorates and yet people have never been more isolated, more lonely . . . the publisher goes the extra mile, the smart one… and integrates the community, meaning the readership in various regions or parts of the large towns… who can in fact vote on content according to their personal preferences.

And think about it… this is just a step away from putting together your own Newspaper "Menu"! Didn’t you ever regret having to get ‘the whole thing’ just to read the latest in Politics, Culture or Sports - and then throw the rest away or use it to clean the window panes or light the chimney (not recommended thought!)?

Not to think of the vanishing forests… and so on?

No more. . . !

Just imagine how one part of a bigger city differs from the other - in its people, culture, religion, arts, food etc… without going into any language differences here - then you can easily predict that the ‘local editorial menu’ will immensely differ from one corner to the other - from pizza via sushi to Sauerkraut so to speak - and this is wildly interesting, colourful and exciting - well I think so!

 

Hyper-targeted Advertising with ‘The Printed Blog’

 

The above scenario allows advertisers to target better than ever before… and most probably at a fraction of the cost as well! Pizzas for hot-tempered pizza-lovers and Sauerkraut for the solid Germanic tribes - plus a beer of course: cheeers!

 

The Printed Blog is "Green"

 

Another aspect that really speaks for this amazing initiative by entrepreneur Joshua Karp is the fact that the company "… will operate as close to carbon neutral as possible."

"Respecting the environment as we launch a large-scale print publication is of utmost importance," says Karp. As such, they will use recycled materials, give preference to environmentally friendly vendors, and will even explore purchasing carbon offsets.

 

Social Networks and ‘The Printed Blog’

 

Bearing in mind the huge popularity of Social Networks like Facebook, MySpace and Twitter- and their tremendous value as advertising targets - I am looking forward to seeing some interesting ‘happenings’, shifts and dynamic developments where online meets offline in The Printed Blog publishing pool of Chicago and. . . beyond.

‘The Newspaper for the next 100 years’ they call it. . . well, let’s see!

 

To be continued. . .

Blogging with a Twist

"The Printed Blog" - The Birth of Blog Driven Publishing

While continuing our quest into the topic of BLOGGING… and what BLOGS really are… and what importance they have in the way we communicate and network on the Internet today - meaning as an integral part of our Marketing and Publishing efforts for building our Business - I came across a most amazing story of a true entrepreneur who surely sees a glass half full even if others think it’s close to being empty.

IMAGINE… that with all the opinion leaders out there saying that traditional Newspapers are out of business or almost, here you have a Publisher rethinking the Daily:
"It’s Free and Printed and Has Blogs All Over"

Would you believe this? Well… you better … and this guy - Joshua Karp, publisher of "The Printed Blog" not only created one new company… he actually plans to start a whole range of new ones… and in fact and according to what Claire Cain Miller wrote in the New York Times on January 22, 2009, ". . . On Tuesday, the first issues containing blog posts and advertising, will appear in Chicago and San Francisco for free distribution." 

Which left me with a staggering WOW in my inquisitive mind and an urgent need to know more about this amazing story and open up the discussion after presenting it to YOU!

Featuring: Joshua Karp, the Publisher of ‘The Printed Blog’, at his office. Visualize him surrounded by several people working for "The Printed Blog" on their personal laptops - all volunteers by the way - WOW again! And yes, so far no less than about 300 blogs have given their permission to have their work published!

What this means?

"The Printed Blog" doesn’t need to pay reporters - in other words, huge savings!

Now that’s smart - isn’t it?

 

"The Printed Blog" - The Birth of Blog Driven Publishing

If you go to "The Printed Blog" Blog… this is what you will be reading:

"The Printed Blog The Printed Blog seeks to change the way people share and interact with news from the world around them. We hope to play a pivotal role in reversing the fortunes of the sinking newspaper industry with this new media project. But we can’t do it alone! Since our emphasis is on user-generated content rather than top-down reporting, this website is designed to function as YOUR HUB for connecting us with blogs, articles, photography, music, events and other content that YOU deem worthy of sharing with your own community."

In the TOP Bar you will find information about the Company - a bit more on that in a minute -, News & Events, Submit Content, Advertise, Contact Us, CAREERS!!! and… Blog.

I invite you to check this out as a matter of interest… given the fact that many of us who have followed "The Path to Profitability" with YCADEMY in 2008 have become blogging enthusiasts with a zest for more exposure and adventure to play out the cards of superior knowledge and skills we’ve gathered in this field.

y1 And of course I’m interested in the valued input and opinion of Blogging & Publishing Wizard Yorgo Nestoridis - creator of the most effective Blogging Scripts on the Internet, namely the highly sophisticated SEMIOMANTICS Editions as well as their ‘lite & cheap’ yet super efficient version when it comes to achieving TOP 10 positions on Google fast on any given niche keyword: YORGOO Blaster.

Not only because of his intrinsic knowledge about Blogging, Media and Publishing, but also a rare capability of quickly X-raying any given business model for it’s chances for success - offline and online - as well as possible hidden agendas. In view of the fierce success in the Social Networking arena combined with a flood of blogging amateurs and pros, this refreshing twist could give rise to some wildly interesting thoughts and trigger our imagination for thinking more freely out of the box!

Let me give you a bit of the thought-provoking material as to "The Printed Blog" - just to round off your personal picture and insight for an informed opinion - and to also read it in the light of what you yourself are planning when it comes to Blogging.

May I suggest you also click on the link above to take a look at the revealing blog itself. As you will notice, the basic idea of this Chicago start-up is to reprint blog posts by permission on traditional paper, spice them up with an array of local ads and distribute the resulting publications in big cities - for FREE.

More info directly from Claire Cain Miller, whereas I inserted an emphasis here and there myself to trigger your thinking muscles - especially after the discussions we just had . . . [start quote]:

"The first issues of this Internet-era penny-saver will appear in Chicago and San Francisco on Tuesday. They will start as weeklies, but Joshua Karp, the founder and publisher, hopes eventually to publish free neighborhood editions of The Printed Blog twice a day in many cities around the country.

“We are trying to be the first daily newspaper comprised entirely of blogs and other user-generated content,” he said. “There were so many techniques that I’ve seen working online that maybe I could apply to the print industry.”

As pay newspapers lose readers to the Internet, where they can read the same articles without charge, many free papers have held their own.

“The free newspaper business model is still very workable,” said David Cohen, a founder of Silicon Valley Community Newspapers, a group of free weeklies south of San Francisco that was sold to Knight Ridder in 2005 and is now owned by MediaNews. “There’s a huge readership that wants the local news, and local businesses tend to increase their advertising in bad times because they have to capture people’s attention.”

Still, Mr. Karp does not have to look far to see the difficulties of being successful in the newspaper business these days. The Tribune Company, which publishes The Chicago Tribune and its free daily, RedEye, filed for bankruptcy protection in December.

Mr. Karp is betting he can make his business work by combining the best of the print and Web models.

The Printed Blog will publish blog posts alongside other Weblike content, like user-submitted photographs and readers’ comments. The paper will be printed on three or four 11-by-17-inch sheets of white paper and laid out like a blog instead of in columns.

Users will eventually be able to log on to its site, theprintedblog.com, to choose which blogs they want in their edition, and editors will decide which posts make the paper. A city the size of Chicago could have 50 separate editions tailored to individual neighborhoods.

The Printed Blog also expects to duck many of the major costs that make traditional newspapers expensive to produce. The company will put commercial printers in the homes of its distributors, avoiding the circulation costs of papers with large, central printing presses. Advertisers will eventually be able to buy ads on the Web site, so The Printed Blog will not need to employ many sales people.

By publishing articles written by bloggers who are already diligently covering topics as varied as town politics and local fashion, Mr. Karp can slash one of the biggest expenses of a newspaper: reporters. So far, 300 bloggers have given The Printed Blog permission to publish their work for a share of the ad revenue, including small-audience bloggers in Chicago and nationally known blogs like Daily Kos.

The arrangement is mutually beneficial, said Lauren Dimet Waters, editor in chief of Second City Style, a Chicago blog that has agreed to be reprinted. “If they can make money off of our blog, I can’t imagine we wouldn’t, too, because of the exposure,” she said. “If it gets us exposure to 20 new people, then I’ll be happy.”

Mr. Karp will still need to pay for paper, ink and contractors to print and distribute the papers. Those costs add up, which is one reason the Internet spawned bloggers in the first place.

Advertising remains print’s one great advantage over Web publications: advertisers will pay much more for print ads than for online ones. Mr. Karp aims to sell 200 ads an issue. The Printed Blog will charge $5 to $10 for classifieds and $15 to $25 for business ads that reach 1,000 readers.

Mr. Karp, who previously founded a software company called Freerain Systems and sold it to ESM Solutions in 2007, has invested $15,000 in The Printed Blog. He receives free office space from the Illinois Technology Association, and his 10 staff members are volunteers who work on their personal laptops. He plans to raise venture capital to pay employee salaries and eventually expand.

Mr. Karp expects that each issue, to be distributed twice a day to 1,000 people, will eventually have enough ads to earn a profit of $750 to $1,500 a week. (In comparison, Mr. Cohen said that a typical weekly edition of one of the free Silicon Valley papers that reached about 20,000 people would cost about $10,000 to produce, with an operating profit margin of 11 percent to 15 percent.)

Advertisers will like The Printed Blog, Mr. Karp said, because it is hyper-local. “A clothing boutique or snow removal service can advertise to the 2,000 people who are most likely to buy the service, as opposed to many, many more,” he said.

About 15 advertisers have signed on for the first issue, including Flowerpetal.com, a florist in Chicago. “The great thing about it is you can change your pitch based on different neighborhoods,” said Brian Crummy, Flowerpetal.com’s founder.

Ads from local businesses are one reason that free dailies have been a rare bright spot in the newspaper industry. Unlike struggling car companies and department stores, which are mainstay advertisers of metropolitan dailies, small businesses have increased their ad spending during the recession, several publishers said.

“All growth in the newspaper industry for the last 20 years has been in free papers, and the fastest-growing segment of that for the last five years has been in free dailies,” said H. Harrison Cochran, publisher of The Aurora Sentinel in Colorado and past president of Suburban Newspapers of America.

Still, the economic crisis has not spared free papers. In November, free dailies in Kitsap County, Wash.; Eureka, Calif.; and Norfolk, Va., closed. In December, the three-year-old Bluffton Today in Bluffton, S.C., started charging for the paper because of falling advertising and rising costs of ink and newsprint. Its circulation has since shrunk to 6,500, from 15,000, Tim Anderson, the paper’s publisher, said.

Mr. Cohen, who was recently laid off by MediaNews, said The Printed Blog’s potential challenges would be magnified by its plan to publish dozens of niche papers. “It just sounds daunting,” he said. “To me, that’s why the Internet was invented.” [End quote]

In view of some of our YCADEMY Members planning local Online Magazines, Directories or the like… the above is important food for thought.

Personally, I think this very targeted exchange … or let’s rather call it FLOW between online and offline channels has great merits and I could imagine it being warmly welcomed by fast growing as well as loyal readerships. It also offers serious and consistent Niche Bloggers who have built Authority - while still struggling financially - a larger exposure to more readers and, ultimately, a REAL income. While many good ideas and projects start with the enthusiastic and generous input of volunteers - and we don’t need to look far for that - there comes a time when ‘time is cash, time is money’ and I could imagine Mr. Karp could have a winning twist here where Advertising fulfills one of its extremely important yet silent roles: to finance Culture & Connectedness in the traditional sense.

We’ll be keeping an eye on developments!

YCADEMY Business Seminar January 2009 (1/12) a huge success

The Triumph of Semiomantics Scripts and YORGOO Blaster

 

Dear Friends and Partners in YORGOO,

WOW… what a weekend, what a training and what great Knowledge learned on our "Blog for Money" or "Blog for Authority" Path with Semiomantics and YORGOO Blaster… from "peanuts" to an income stream. Everyone simply blown away as the possibilities and applications start dawning, pennies are dropping and the mind scratches yet another horizon to conquer! What phenomenal sharing of Knowledge by Yorgo Nestoridis, simply the best - fullstop!

Here’s from Larrie Perkins from Florence Alabama who started out looking for money making opportunities on the Internet like anyone else, until he learned at the Ycademy Seminars how to combine what he’s good at, what he loves and where he can use the experience of a lifetime to create his own online business: his Taxmart! Due to Larrie’s Focus, Consistency and smart Investment in his own Development and Education as well as the unique Semiomantics Scripts including YORGOO Blaster, you will find Larrie on all top positions on Google, even side by side with the Washington Post - now that’s what I call BRILLIANT:

larrie_p01

From Larrie straight after the Ycademy Business Seminar January 2009:

"Just want to Say thanks for This weekends seminar.

I always depend on Ycademy seminars for business development and continuing education."

Thanks,

Larrie Perkins

TaxMart Inc.

Like attracts Like . . . just as YCADEMY SEMINARS attracts the REAL Business Developers, the REAL go-getters and those passionate and/or determined to build online Business! Funny enough, while in physics, positives attract negatives and the other way round…., the opposite is true in human relationships where we find that negative individuals attract negative individuals - BUT… positive entrepreneurs attract like-minded people. It is important for your own growth and development that you surround yourself with positive and successful people and you will find that you will become increasingly successful too - that’s according to what is called "The law of harmonious attraction".

You know very well that it’s the first million that’s difficult… from there things accelerate and wealth starts accumulating - sometimes with you or without you!  Again, it’s so critically important that we go back into our "Secret Garden" and think about our Purpose - our WHY? - and from there decide on our GOALS - which allow us to draw up a PLAN to which we then stick religiously UNTIL… Here the traction is caused by our Action…. resulting in Attraction of what we need, what we focus on and what we desire. The more we can visualize what we want to attract or create  -  like having already reached our target, we can achieve any reasonable goal - and it just depends on US!

These aren’t things you learn in school or at university as you know… and unfortunately hardly any child is equipped with these simple principles of thought when sent out into the school of hard knocks called Life… but at YCADEMY we base all we do on proven methods - no hype, no fluff. It may just be part of the Magic that keeps a loyal Team of ‘Activists’ moving from strength to strength… including the "Boss of the YORGOO Blaster", Laetitia Paris from France:

How to start generating an Income Stream

Get your pass for the next Ycademy Seminar on 24 and 25 January 2009

 

Dear Friends and Partners in YORGOO -

a warm welcome to our new members who are joining us on our way to reaching the next benchmark: 70,000 Members in YORGOO! Bearing in mind that YORGOO will turn only 4 years at the end of this month - January 2009 - and knowing what high reputation as well as conversion rate it has, then you can congratulate yourself for having made the right choice at the right time.

However - there’s a hitch! Ah - you think - didn’t you just wonder about it? Doesn’t it all sound just too good to be true?

 

How to start generating an Income Stream with YORGOO - the faster you take Action the better for YOU!

2009 Well - YORGOO is not a get-rich-quick scheme or tool. It requires to be set up properly according to instructions - and then you want to include it into your Daily method of Operation as lined out in our regular posts here. That’s all it takes - but it needs to be done. So the quicker you log in as a new member and get the setup done - there are Tutorials in the back office as well as Audio step-by-step instructions HERE - the faster you’re ready to build and develop your Online Home Business.

Look at it like it’s been beautifully expressed in this quote from Napoleon Hill’s "Think & Grow Rich" - which contains all the wisdom you need to build your own business… quote:

"MAKING LIFE "EASY" FOR CHILDREN USUALLY MAKES LIFE "HARD" FOR THEM IN ADULTHOOD.

Del Smith, the millionaire founder and chairman of Evergreen International Aviation, has often said, "Thank God I was born poor; I learned how to work." Like many others who made it to the top on their own, Smith believes that the greatest gift that can be given to a child is to teach him or her the value of work. It is a gift that can never be lost or stolen. It’s a natural desire of parents to give their children material things they didn’t have as children. Such generosity, however, often deprives children of the greatest gift you can give them: confidence in their ability to take care of themselves. When you make life "hard" for your children by requiring them to learn the value of work, they will have a far greater likelihood of success as adults."

 

Now you don’t have to be born poor - but I have seen children from wealthy backgrounds being raised rather frugally and with a sharpened sense and awareness of REAL values in Life so they would know what it takes to stand up alone, to be strong and to learn from one’s mistakes! They grew their own wings and flew without support and pampering - and they stayed humane and humble being grateful for the pride and satisfaction arising from achieving things oneself.

YORGOO is a tool for professional Internet Marketers to build their business - how it’s being used depends on the user. So don’t just skip over things in YORGOO. Take your time to follow the steps, do the setup properly and then be organized in your Daily Method of Operation. Once your Network grows you follow up and - as your relationship with your new members grows - you lead them where you want them to go. So in the beginning it may not be ‘easy’ and it may seem complex - but my advice would be to just open yourself up, take the hand of guidance that’s present everywhere just to assist you - and build!

 

Get your pass for the next Ycademy Seminar on 24 and 25 January 2009

Yes! It’s that time again and all I can say is: CONGRATULATIONS to all ticket owners so far!

We will start the new year as we ended 2008: as a committed and future-oriented group of professional business builders. All participants will participate in the Pre-Seminar Calls starting in our Conferencing Rooms as of tomorrow, Tuesday - when doors will be closed and no tickets will be sold anymore (there are only 6 left anyway!).

Why?

As Yorgo explained very clearly, he will need the time to set up the brand-new latest top-notch $1000 scripts that everyone will have access to. Another step on our "Path to Profitability" - just to get into gear for turning "peanuts into income streams".

Isn’t that what you put into your goals for 2009? Are there clear numbers in your "Secret Garden" so you know what you aim for? So your arrow targets in the middle of your clearly defined goal and not in 5 different directions… with the result that your arrow shoots off into nowhere?

No ticket yet but you urgently want one?

CLICK HERE to get the information and don’t forget to send a confirmation mail to both admin@cashbizz.com and bianca@ycademy.com

And if they are sold out?

Well - as long as the PayPal button functions, you can be lucky. Once that one is blocked - it’s over! The next Seminar will be end of February - but this one will never be offered again - guaranteed!

Web Site Traffic: Passive advertising

Passive advertising

Advertising your business is an on going daily process for any home business owner, the Daily Task that should never be be missed. You work today for tomorrows results. It's the daily habit.

There are the active, more popular ways to advertise your website/product like through Traffic Exchanges, safelists but one of the more forgotten ways is through passive advertising.

Passive advertising is the sort you do once and forget about it for a while. For example adding a comment or answering a question on a forum but not forgetting to add your signature [who you  are and where you are]. Forums are a very good way to build your authority online in a specific field or niche as well a good way to increase your website traffic.

Using classified ads is another form of passive advertising. It is at the same time very much targeted advertising as well as added traffic to your website or blog. Post an ad in your specific category and it will run for a certain length of time. No need to intervene and people do still use classifieds when searching for a product they need as it is a way of homing in on exactly what they need.

There are many classified sites out there - just  Google classifieds and you will find pages of them. It will take a little research first time round to find relevant ones, but if you keep a good record of the work just done, the second time around it will be a faster marketing tasks and you can of course use the same ad over and over again.

Another form of passive advertising is using Directories. Very targeted advertising that works. Again there are many of these directories around. Some are new and not well populated yet but it is still worth submitting your site. A good place to start is with Google, it's topic and country related.

Toolbars are another great way to passively market your product and a good communication tool. Watch out for the new version of the YORGOO Media Toolbar coming this week which will have more focused tools and features allowing you to access your media from anywhere in the world.

Living in Alignment 2009

When Purpose unites with Trust and your Energies Flow… Miracles Happen

Your AUDIO Version below or LISTEN HERE  (9:26 min) and don’t miss THE VOICE below!

 

 

Sometimes… things just all seem to go in the right way! What you struggled with for years, what bothered you, what seemed to be without solution and just always there in the back of your mind like a shadow that needed some form of resolution especially as it didn’t necessarily depend on you… sometimes even being far beyond your direct influence … what makes it that suddenly the tight knot losens up and things happen without effort - like Magic?

Relief, Joy and Surprise normally overwhelm us in such a way that we don’t watch ourselves, our Attitude… because if we did, we might notice that we had approached things differently - and this while being clearly conscious of the goal to be achieved. However, we may not have been attaching too much forcefulness, we may have forgotten anger and blame… we practiced detachment - and, most importantly, we had no Doubt!

We went with Trust! We were totally connected in the ‘here and now’ and we felt part of Life’s absolute Abundance!

We switched our ‘inside’ into a different mode opening up to the energy flow around us and being part of it. We had an inner knowledge that it was accomplished already.

 

Unity in Duality

Following my thoughts HERE in a previous article, we were in Harmony, balancing the Yin and Yang. Oneness, here and now. . . complete alignment. Connected.

Just as the Universe is regulated by the constant interaction of Yin and Yang - for example between Day (Yang) and Night (Yin), Summer (Yang) and Winter (Yin), Light (Yang) and Dark (Yin)… we have to find ways to establish an equilibrium in our everyday Life that takes into consideration our natural inner rhythm and needs, from where it facilitates a Flow with the stream of Life.

It is important that we are not only aware of these opposite principles in our Social and Business environment out there - rich and poor, good and bad - but that we understand that we too are part of this never-ending movement. Form and formlessness… meaning our thoughts and spirituality on one hand… and then all our materialistic attachments, possessions and ‘ownerships’ on which we depend for our Success and Happiness. And the more we attach value to anything outside ourselves, the more it controls us…

 

This eternal circle…

Sometimes we cling to things we love with fear of losing them - instead of releasing them… to follow their natural cycle … which brings them back to us. Love is Freedom. Love is Trust. Where there is Fear there is neither Freedom, nor Trust, nor Love. yin-yang

The Yin and Yang are ‘two polar energies that, by fluctuation and interaction, are the cause of the Universe’ (Shambala Dictionary of Taoism, p.216) and to better understand this basic concept, Wiki gives us some fascinating pointers which I quote for you:

‘Yin yang are opposing

Yin yang describe opposing qualities in phenomena. For instance, winter is yin to summer’s yang over the course of a year, and femininity is yin to masculinity’s yang in human relationships. It is impossible to talk about yin or yang without some reference to the opposite.
Yin yang are rooted together
Since yin and yang are created together in a single movement, they are bound together as parts of a mutual whole. A race with only men or only women would disappear in a single generation, but men and women together create new generations that allow the race they mutually create (and mutually come from) to survive. The interaction of the two gives birth to things.
Yin yang transform each other
Like an undertow in the ocean, every advance is complemented by a retreat, and every rise transforms into a fall. Thus, a seed will sprout from the earth and grow upwards towards the sky - an intrinsically yang movement. Then when it reaches its full height, it will begin to weaken, and eventually will fall back to the earth in decay - an intrinsically yin movement. Yin always contains the potential for yang, and yang for yin.
Yin-yang are balanced
Yin-yang is a dynamic equilibrium. Because they arise together they are always equal: if one disappears, the other must disappear as well, leaving emptiness. This is rarely immediately apparent, though, because yang elements are clear and obvious while yin elements are hidden and subtle.

Living in Alignment - What does this mean for our attitude as concerns our Online Home Business?

As one of my favorite authors - Dr. Wayne Dyer - puts it…:

‘Detachment is the only vehicle available to take you from striving to arriving.’

Fact is that as Materialism increases, Trust decreases. The more we accumulate and possess the heavier we become and the more we lose contact with our Humanity and our most important Values. In this light the current economic crisis should be seen as a long-due wake-up call for RE-ALIGNMENT!

Find… and then focus on your Purpose. Allow your actions to flow… like a dancer becomes the dance, becomes movement, becomes music - and flows in perfect Harmony. Do what you love - and then Trust your intuition, the Universe… whatever you call ‘it’. You are part of ‘it’ and ‘it’ is part of you.

As a Team, you want to focus on transformation, not transaction… and you want to turn competition into cooperation. Be the first to give without being attached to return.

From that angle, there are no winners. There are no losers.

There’s just ONE Flow…

There is Trusting your Inner Voice…

And when Purpose unites with Trust and your Energies Flow… Miracles Happen.

 

‘THE VOICE’ is such a miracle; it was given to us for our time right NOW.
