How to Promote A TV Show Online Using Real Time Data Statistics

Advertising on your own medium is a luxury that few products have the advantage of having Although they have this incredible boost to their advertising, most of the bigger shows aren’t content to just sit back and do things the way that they’ve always been done. Added to this, the advent of streaming services, DVD box sets, and other ways of delivering the show that is not on TV has forced advertisers to find new ways to advertise. The smart advertisers are embracing real-time info graphics and traffic statistics from sites like Coupon Machine to best identify the correct markets to advertise on to have a higher chance of success.

As you may have seen, typically a TV show will advertise on their own channel on TV, but more often than not, they’ll use other online means to promote the show. So where does a TV show go when it wants to capitalize on the market? To the places with the biggest user base; the biggest being Facebook, with over 1.7 billion active users. Obviously this is the best place to start promoting a show.

But when it coes to selling the DVD box sets or getting the show on a streaming service, that’s where they need to focus more, as most of the people with the larger markets like their exclusivity. For instance, Amazon sells 115 million products every month, so says real time mobile traffic tracker. A TV show would have to be crazy not to want in on this market, even if it had to be exclusive for a few months. The sheer amount of people going to Amazon over Alibaba is astounding, and TV shows are dying for a chance to get into that market. Some shows have even tapped into the 9 billion hours of YouTube videos watched every month by adding a short 30 second ad to videos, or even creating their own YouTube channel to promote their show.

 

Streaming is another huge market for TV shows. Some TV channels have created the ability to stream the show directly from their website. While other services, like streaming giant Netflix, which boasts subscriptions numbers around 50 million people, according to Coupon Machine. That’s a huge amount of people that might watch the first season on Netflix, then go buy the box set on Amazon and watch that while they wait for the next season to come out. Meanwhile, they’re sending out a handful of the 9 billion tweets sent out every month, talking about how much they love the show, while they follow the behind the scenes content on the show’s YouTube channel! That’s what you call market penetration!

25 interior design tips and quotes [infographic]

How Interior Design and Architecture Affect Mood

There is an old saying: “Fish is looking for where it is deeper, and the man – where better?” It’s not always true for fish, but always true for us, people. More over, ‘better’ is a completely relative concept: we all know that something that is great for one person can be not so good for the other one. It’s true for our inner world, and for the world that surrounds us.

Consciously and subconsciously we are looking to be in places where we can comfortably work, sleep, relax, create, and discover. If the sleeping place is hardly ever an issue, a place to work and create is more important to fit you. There is a reason for many of us to advise each other: if you feel stuck, change your environment (turn on/off the light, go outside, change temperature, move furniture). It might sound silly, but all these things together have a great deal of impact on your productivity.

Colors and spaces affect our mood, our process of thinking, and even our body temperature. No wonder in areas with a long and hot summer people prefer cold colors for their interior (blue, green, etc.). And the opposite: long cold winter doesn’t feel that bad if your home is painted and decorated in warm colors (orange, brown, red).

It might take time to turn your place into a nice comfortable home. Grab some inspiration ideas if you feel stuck.

Fun Facts about Monaco and Japan [infographic]

Monaco is the second smallest country in the world. Only Vatican City is smaller than it. A regular town block is probably bigger than this country! However, Monaco is taking the top position for overall life expectancy. On average, based on the official CIA information, it’s 89.52 years, which is even 5 years higher than in Japan, which is historically considered to be the country of the rising Sun, raw fish, and the oldest people.

An interesting fact is that Monaco and Japan have barely anything in common. They are located on different continents, have different climate, different history and traditions (including religion, food, medicine, etc.). Yes. Japan is bigger in population and territory, and centuries older than Monaco as a country. Yet they occupy two top positions for life expectancy.

Traditionally it is believed that Japanese people live longer because of the old medicine secrets (herbs, acupuncture, etc.). And if this is true how would Monacans explains their long lives? Good question!

The 9 Layers of Elevator Heck [infographic]

Time spent in elevators is usually a short experience, but it goes for a long memory and creates impressions.

There is a believe that a good company (whether it’s office, hotel or restaurant) has to have really nice restrooms. However, these are not the only secondary opinion factors. Add to that location, view, and elevators! Yes! Elevators!

And when you think that nothing bad can happen to you in this nice and shining box – think twice. For example, you are in a very nice elevator that is taking you p to the 36th floor for your job interview. It doesn’t take too long to get there, but you spend these short moments talking with your best friend and telling him/her how nervous you are, and that you are not sure if you are good enough for this job, etc. Well, be careful – because your interviewer might be standing right next to you.

At the same time the most fun / hell (underline what applies to you) happens not in luxurious elevators, but in absolutely casual ones, like this infographic suggests.

Good or bad, but our life would have been a lot harder without elevators. So, enjoy your elevator heck!

Make Lattes at Home – Espresso Drink Recipes [infographic]

Making a nice espresso drink is not too hard; you just need to have some knowledge about the recipes. With a fully automatic espresso machine you don’t even need to know the recipe, the machine does it all for you. All you have to do is press a button. The editorial team at Coffee Brewing Methods created this infographic to help their readers choose between a cappuccino and a latte. They also wrote an article on how to choose the best latte machine for home use. And don’t think that owning an espresso machine is too expensive, because that’s just not true. If you make just one cappuccino everyday for a year, you can cover the cost for the machine.

We made lattes without an espresso machine, and it is possible. If your budget is very tight you can do that, because you have no choice. If your budget allows it though, a real latte is an experience, and it doesn’t compare to your milk and coffee beverage. The folks at Coffee Brewing Methods point cappuccino as their favorite milk and coffee drink. My favorite is latte, what is your favorite?

Espresso vs Drip Coffee vs Turkish Coffee [infographic]

Various types of coffee brewing techniques compared. Learn the differences between the various coffee preparation techniques. The infographic created by the Coffee Brewing Methods editorial team compares three of the most popular brewing methods: Drip coffee, Turkish coffee, and espresso. According to the team, Turkish coffee, espresso, or manual brewing methods, become more and more popular. They have various “How To’s” on coffee preparation, including how to make espresso, Turkish coffee brewing, and cold brew coffee. You can take a look at their tutorials if you feel adventurous. asdas

Drip coffee is still by far, the most popular brewing method, because it makes a clear cup. The light taste profile also makes it more appealing to people with sensitive palate. Espresso and Turkish appeals to coffee aficionados, and it fulfills their need of intense flavor, and full body. According to the infographic, however, preparing an espresso is not simple. This is probably another reason to stick to your automatic drip coffee routine. My favorite is espresso, but I buy it at the coffee shop every day. Turkish is “not my cup of tea”. What is your favorite coffee type?
