How to Google Yourself Properly - DavidKamatoy.com Show 2020.10

(Blog) Many of you have Googled yourselves, but most of you have been doing it wrong. Not wrong, necessarily, just not optimally. Googling or searching for yourself is basically typing your own name into a search engine like Google, Yahoo, Bing and seeing what comes up.

Most of us do this from a skewed perspective because we use the same search engine that we work from. The same site we do social media on, build our websites on and search  for ourselves and related projects and brands. Your search history affects your results. 

In order to Google yourself or search for yourself correctly, you should use an Incognito window in Chrome, an Inprivate window in Edge, or a private window in Opera. Your search is still most likely affected by your location, and for most of us that’s perfect. However, by using a VPN service you could see how you trend in another country.

Opera private has a built in VPN and I am happy to say that DavidKamatoy.com comes up #1 in Google in the Nederlands when searching for David Kamatoy. 

Why should you Google Yourself?

Are you working on your personal brand as an Artist, Entrepreneur, Entertainer, A

uthor, Actor, Singer, or Media Personality? Maybe trying to apply for that next job? 

If you are looking to blow it up on social media and the internet, the best thing you can do is to start by “Googling yours

elf” or searching for yourself, your brand, or your company to see what comes up. Study what comes up, compare that to the top searched sites, and then optimize accordingly.

We often base our branding decisions “on what we want,” but that has to be balanced with the reality of how people actually see you on the internet.

Google is the #1 Website in the United States according to Alexa.com.

ACTION: Open an “Incognito” Browser in Chrome or your favorite browser and search for yourself or your brand: “Your Name” “Your Brand” “Your Company Name.” 

• Tip: You want to type in your name or, if your name is not unique, then most likely your name + your occupation or company. 
• You want an incognito window so that your own search history does not bias the results. 
• You can also use a VPN to try to check results in other countries or areas.
• If you can’t find your name because it’s generic, then that’s when you want to get a yourname.com URL, or you may consider changing your name or creating a stage name. (Just ask Michael Douglass aka Michael Keaton).

So the question is, what comes up? Does your website come up? Your Facebook account? Your IMDB?

Whatever you see is most likely what other people are seeing when they search for you. If someone meets you or does research on you, this becomes the first, second or third impression. 

If you are using Chrome and Google, then you have technically Googled yourself.

Let’s dig deeper.

Within the world of Google we suggest looking at...

• Google News
• GoogleImages
• Google Videos
• Google Maps
• Google Shopping
• Google Books
• Google Scholar

Other Search Engines

• Follow a similar path on other search engines and browsers
• Bing, Yahoo, Opera
• Dogpile is a great search engine because it returns all the best results from the leading search engines. 

YouTube.com is the #2 website in the United States according to Alexa.com.

Whatever or however you are searching for yourself, type it into YouTube.com 

What videos show up? Do you have your own channel? Does someone else have a name or brand like yours? If you don't come up, then what does? 

This is why Video is such a powerful tool. Google owns YouTube, and YouTube results feed into Google. A well-viewed, optimized video typically comes up in the Google Search. 

Facebook.com is the #5 website in the United States according to Alexa.com

Search for your name, your brands, your company, and your hashtags on Facebook and other social media sites.

Top social media sites, and how you trend or rank in those sites, will show up not only on those sites but also in the search engines based on traffic. 

Build your own name .com Website Yournameasabrand.com

Grabbing your name url as a .com, . net etc. is the top strategy that helps you to control your own message. Your own consistent blogging and content should be placed here, in addition to social media sites. Remember, you most likely do not own or control Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram, and your profiles can disappear or be banned overnight. 

On that same point. Remember to build your own database using a system like jugglemail.com (Shameless Plug) to build, control and communicate with your fans or database. 

Summary: Googling yourself or searching for yourself properly using private windows is the best place to start when trying to create and control your personal brand, your brands and your projects. Take note of what comes up and then strategize on how to  optimize your presence using that information.

The Discussion will revolve around how Black-owned businesses can grow as the nation begins to move out of heavy Covid-19 restrictions.

“We felt that this was a good way to cap off Black History Month,” says Kamatoy, who has produced nationally syndicated television and radio programs. “But it is also an excellent opportunity for Black business owners and entrepreneurs to share how they have managed to survive, and sometimes thrive, through the Covid-19 lockdowns. Then, looking forward, how can we help support other small businesses moving out of the heavy restrictions we have been under in California and other locations.”

As co-host, actor, comedian and producer Mark Christopher Lawrence, best known as Big Mike on the NBC series “Chuck,” will join the panel to discuss the effects the pandemic has had on the entertainment industry and how he and others are trying to help struggling actors and related businesses.

Panelist Stephen “Steph” Groce is an entrepreneur and business and education advocate with strong ties to the San Diego community. In addition to his business activities, Groce has been the Chairman of the City of San Diego’s Human Relations Commission, a San Diego Unified School Board candidate, and California State Assessment Coordinator for the National Assessment of Educational Progress. He brings a unique perspective to the discussion.

Del Lewis, another member of the panel, is the founder of TriClare Business Holdings, a “venturepreneur” company that provides advisory services relating to business management and business operations. The company provides intellectual, and experience/expertise capital in exchange for a portion of equity in the client’s business venture.

Also joining the panel will be Tinicia Smith, President and Founder of Black San Diego: Empowering Our Community. Smith, who began the organization with a simple question on Facebook, is a business development professional with experience  in the non-profit organization management industry. Her organization’s goal is to provide a platform for Black business owners, entrepreneurs and professionals to empower and strengthen the community.

Networking in Covid-19 with Steven David Elliot - DavidKamatoy.com Show 2020.10

(Blog) Steven David Elliott joins me from Florida, Coast to Coast via Skype to talk about Networking in and out of the Pandemic. This is 2 TV show segments together. 

Networking in Covid-19 with Steven David Elliot - DavidKamatoy.com Show 2020.10 from David Kamatoy on Vimeo.

 

Here are a few personal takeaways from this interview...

1. Steven David Elliot and Rockstar connect reinforce the importance of being an extrovert at times in order to promote yourself, your brand and your business. This is hard in a pandemic and even harder for introverts. But Steven David Elliot and I both are introverts and extroverts. The trick is to just do it, fake it even if its just for 20 minutes or a networking event or a social media post.
   
   
2. Relationships, Building relationships is extremely important for business but also for referrals. Helping and connecting people creates a Karma like effect. Relationships in and out of Covid can be  reinforced now by picking up the phone, sending an email and just checking in with people.
   
   
3. Want to network? Check out Steven David Elliot's RockstarConnect.com, he hosts a virtual session on Tuesdays as well as in person events where events can happen safely in Covid-19. Network with us by joining the email list / database and fill out your profile, we will be in touch.

(Press Release) Multi-creative entrepreneur and television host and producer David Kamatoy has released his latest video from The DavidKamatoy.com Show on networking in the era of Covid 19 with author and entrepreneur Steven David Elliot. In the segment, “Networking in Covid-19 with Steven David Elliot,” the two discuss the creation of Elliot’s networking program, Rockstar Connect, and the challenges of networking in the coronavirus era.

After beginning a career in social work with the elderly, Steven David Elliot became interested in marketing after learning sales technique from a cousin. Remembering what his elderly clients had often said to him while in social work about regrets for things they had not done, Elliot decided to follow a dream and open up a bookstore. Eventually he had four successful bookstores, two each in North Carolina and Miami
, Florida, which he ran for 15 years. Even in an era of growing online book sales, Elliot’s stores thrived because of his emphasis on networking.

“It’s not about what you sell; it’s about the people,” Elliot explains in the interview. “I would help people, and they would reward me by doing business with me.” This focus on networking continued to grow and developed into a consistent networking event that provided the help he needed in his business. “I’m not a small business when I have a networking event, because I have that big tribe, a nation of people who are around me.”

Elliot goes on in the interview to explain how this networking event then grew into what today is the Rockstar Connect series of networking events. His theory, which he has shown to be quite successful, is that if people did a consistent networking event every month, they would never have to do any other form of prospecting. This is the power behind Rockstar Connect events which focus around an event host who is featured through social media pushes. By building an event designed to provide attendees with what they need to be successful, the host earns their gratitude and their connections. Many times a person who was never at the event is inspired by an attendee to connect and do business with the host.

The interview concludes with a discussion on the continued importance of connections and networking during the current Covid-19 era and beyond. Kamatoy points out the challenges of the new generation placing an inordinate emphasis on social media connections in contrast to tried-and-true methods such as phone calls. “That’s something we need to reinforce again, that it’s so strongly about relationships first.”
David Kamatoy is a multi-creative entrepreneur - a juggler both literally and figuratively. His mission is to support and inspire like-minded multi-creatives in taking their projects to the next level. With a background in entrepreneurship and entertainment, he has produced hundreds of nationally syndicated Radio and TV episodes.

Comic-Con@Home opening panels discuss the importance of comics in education

San Diego, CA: Wednesday, July 22, was the opening day for Comic-Con@Home, the virtual iteration of the annual event that normally brings tens of thousands of fans to Downtown San Diego in a celebration of all forms of pop culture. This year, because of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) and all other conventions around the country have been shuttered in an attempt to slow the spread of the virus. However, just as superheroes never give up, the SDCC board decided to go virtual with panels, exhibits, displays and more. 

For the past four years, Comic-Con International and the San Diego Public Library have partnered for the Comic Conference for Educators and Librarians, generally held as part of Preview Night, the Wednesday before the main convention begins. This year, for the fifth installment, the conference went online with education and pop culture being the focus of the first day’s panels. Seventeen panels, featuring K-12 educators, college and university lecturers, writers and artists, extolled the virtues of using modern cultural elements to promote education and literacy. 

One of the opening panels, titled Comics in the Classroom Ask Me Anything: Pick the Brains of Teachers, Administrators, Creators, and Publishers, featured members of the Lit-X Teacher Cohort along with current and former teachers, some of whom are also comic creators. Lit-X members Eric Kallenborn and Michael Gianfrancesco had collected questions via social media to share with the panel members. The panel, which included teachers Ronell Whitaker and Jason Walz (also a comic creator), comic creator Lucy Knisle, and former teacher and current consultant Lisa Wu, delved into how comics and graphic novels can be used to help readers comprehend literature and understand different cultures and societies.

Teaching and Learning with Comics, hosted by educators Peter Carlson, Susan Kirtley, and Antero Garcia, focused more on how creative illustration can be used in the classroom. As Carlson explained, the goal of the team is to “continually engage a dialogue about the purposeful use and power of comics in all classrooms.” On the panel were professor Nick Sousanis, author of “Unflattening” - his doctoral dissertation done completely in comic book form; cartoonist and teacher Ebony Flowers, author of “Hot Comb” and other books; and comic book authors David F. Walker and Brian Michael Bendis who recently collaborated on the book “Naomi.” 

Through the various panels, certain themes repeatedly came to the forefront. One of these is the power of comics and graphic novels to engage otherwise reluctant or struggling readers and inspire them to explore literature on their own. Many times these students and adults struggle because traditional literature does not engage them in their preferred mode, where the illustrations in comics and graphic novels help bridge the gap between their strengths and areas of challenge.

Another theme was the use of comics and graphic novels as a medium for exploring topics and viewpoints that have often been ignored or dismissed. Comics as a Conduit presented ways that the medium can be a platform to discuss topics like environmental activism, civic engagement, or physical and mental health awareness. In the Books for All: It's Time to Redefine How We Share Books With Kids panel, participants discussed how educators can share impactful and diverse titles with students of all ages. Other panels scheduled for the week will focus on the topics of Indigenous Rights, LGBTQI Identity and more.

Comic-Con@Home runs through Sunday, July 26, with all videos posted on YouTube for free viewing. While some of these will be pulled at the end of the virtual convention, many will remain up beyond Sunday.

How to attend SDCC 2020 #ComicConatHome

San Diego Comic-Con Goes Virtual to Beat Covid

San Diego, CA: For the first (and hopefully last) time ever, the venerable San Diego Comic-Con will be completely virtual for 2020, due to the continuing Covid pandemic. An event that has drawn hundreds of thousands to San Diego over more than 50 years to celebrate the world of pop culture does not simply raise its collective hands and surrender to a world-threatening virus any more than The Avengers or Justice League would. And so on Wednesday, July 22, ComicCon@Home hits the internet with a full complement of panels, exhibits, and an at-home experience to keep even the most rabid Con-fans satisfied.

Running from Wednesday, July 22, through Sunday, July 26, Comic-Con@Home will feature more than 350 panels. These will range from panels focused on art, pop culture and creativity to panels focused on special topics such as Indigenous People, mental health, and LGBTQI Identity. Diversity will feature in several panels over the five days. There will also be the usual big name panels such as the DC@Home panels (Friday and Saturday), several Cartoon Network and Disney+ panels, and panels with some of your favorite stars (find out what makes Charlize Theron a “badass” on Friday).

In order for Con-fans to experience Comic-Con@Home to the fullest extent, all panels and presentations will be posted on YouTube and the Comic-Con International Channel (www.youtube.com/user/ComicCon). Panels will go live at their scheduled times, and many will remain available beyond July 26. Full daily schedules can be accessed through the Comic-Con@Home webpage at www.comic-con.org/cci/2020/athome. Fans can also create a personalized schedule of panels using links on the page. Plus, for those who make a point in collecting new badges every year, you can create your own participant badge - no registration fee or frustrating online waiting room required!

Here are some of the highlights of the week:

Wednesday: This day should almost be renamed Teachers’ Day because of all the panels focused on the educational uses of comics and pop culture. The fun kicks off at 3:00 pm PDT with panels such as “Comics in the Classroom,” “Teaching and Learning with Comics,” and “GeekED: Restoried.” Other education-related panels include “Comics as a Conduit,” “Comics on Campus,” and “Teaching Graphic Novels Online” (perfect as schools return online for the fall).

Thursday: Families and Fandoms feature on the second day of panels. From the Star Trek Universe to X-Men, from Batgirls (yes, plural) to The Lost Cities, this is a day for fandom devotees. Other panels look at how pop culture deals with the current pandemic with “Comics During Clampdown: Creativity in the Time of COVID” and “Building a Geek Brand: Surviving a Pandemic” among other offerings. You can also reach out beyond your inner circle through “Causeplay - In Service to Others” or “Virtual Fandom: Superhero Fandom Adapts to the Pandemic.”

Friday: As usual, Friday is a day for the big “Hall H” level panels. This year the virtual panels include talks on DC Comics, Marvel, Star Wars, Fear the Walking Dead and Vikings. A number of panels will look at the interplay of pop culture and LGBTQI, Indigenous Cultures, mental health and female representation. One panel that is sure to generate a good deal of interest and possibly controversy is “Decoding the Kirby/Lee Dynamic,” which looks at the 50+ year relationship between Jack Kirby and Stan Lee.

Saturday: If you’re not sure what you are interested in, this might be the day for you. Panels run the gamut from scientific to creative to who-knows-what. “Back to the Moon and Beyond with NASA” will feature astronauts, technology and engineering experts, with Captain James T. Kirk himself (William Shatner) as the host. Several panels will look at the creative and business sides of pop culture, while others will visit properties as The Simpsons and Constantine.

Sunday: Comic-Con@Home wraps up with another day devoted to, well, everything. Fans can learn how to cosplay as adults, create a life-size cardboard superhero, or learn more about tabletop gaming. There are also panels on YA Fantasy, a celebration of TMNT (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) 30th Anniversary, and new series coming to Netflix and FOX.

Comic-Con@Home and San Diego Blood Bank sponsor annual Robert A. Heinlein Blood Drive

San Diego, CA: For 43 years San Diego Comic-Con has held an annual blood drive honoring the legendary science fiction author Robert A. Heinlein. Since 1976 more than 25,000 pints of blood have been donated by Con participants, impacting more than 75,000 lives. In spite of the cancellation of the in-person event, Comic-Con@Home, in conjunction with the San Diego Blood Bank, will sponsor the 44th Annual Robert A. Heinlein Blood Drive to gather life-saving donations from July 22 through August 16.

The history of the blood drive is a story unto itself. A notoriously private person, Robert Heinlein rarely attended conventions, in spite of the thousands of adoring fans of works such as Star Ship Troopers and Stranger in a Strange Land. However, in the early 1970s Heinlein suffered a life-threatening illness that necessitated transfusion of multiple pints of his rare blood type. To repay the kindness of those who donated, he agreed to sign autographs at the 1976 World Con in his hometown of Kansas City - but only for people who donated blood. Hearing about this, San Diego Comic-Con contacted the author, who agreed to attend the following year in return for blood donations. Thus was born the Robert A. Heinlein Blood Drive at San Diego Comic-Con.

Since 2000 The Heinlein Society, an organization dedicated to preserving the author’s legacy, has helped to coordinate blood drives at conventions around the country in honor of Robert Heinlein’s principle of “Pay it forward.” Over the past decade, Society-sponsored or coordinated drives have gathered more than 40,000 pints.

Because there is no event at which to donate, Comic-Con and the San Diego Blood Bank have partnered to provide opportunities to donate. From July 22 through August 16, individuals can make an appointment with the blood bank by going to SanDiegoBloodBank.org/donate to find the nearest location and set a time. Donors must make an appointment before going in and should review Covid-19 information and restrictions at www.sandiegobloodbank.org/blood-donation-and-coronavirus-covid-19. Donors will receive a limited-edition Marvel Black Widow T-shirt as a thank-you for helping continue this tradition.

San Diego, CA (For Release) - Deputy Attorney General Mike Murphy, who is running to replace retiring Superior Court Judge Louis Hanoian, joined other local dignitaries speaking at the inaugural Southeast San Diego Family Day Celebration on Saturday, February 8, 2020. The event, organized by the San Diego Hip Hop Health & Wellness 5K & Festival and other community leaders, brought together people from the neighborhood for a day of community fun and information.

Murphy joined local dignitaries including City Councilmember and Mayoral Candidate Barbara Bry and City Attorney Mara Elliott for opening remarks. The ceremony also included recognition for the Lincoln High School Basketball Program as well as for several local organizations. Following the opening ceremony, Murphy spent time visiting the various booths and displays and speaking with neighborhood residents to hear their needs and concerns.

Other county leaders endorsing Murphy include San Diego County Sheriff Bill Gore, retired San Diego City Chief of Police David Bejarano, retired San Diego County District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis, and San Diego County Supervisor Greg Cox.

Deputy Attorney General Mike Murphy Running for State Superior Court Seat #30

Fellow Saint Augustine Alumni Mike Murphy is running for San Diego Superior Court 2020 Seat 30. We are helping get the message out.

San Diego, CA (For Release) - Deputy Attorney General Mike Murphy, a San Diego County native with more than two decades of prosecutorial experience, is running to fill Superior Court Seat #30. During his tenure Murphy has worked at all levels of the state court system, from trial courts to the Court of Appeals and the California Supreme Court. He has built a reputation of fairness and integrity based on a record of making the right decisions and applying the law fairly and equally. Murphy’s bid has been supported by retiring Superior Court Judge Louis Hanoian, who calls Murphy “uncompromisingly fair, honest and professional.” 

“I have served as a prosecutor for 24 years now in our state courts,” explains Murphy, who has handled a number of extremely complex criminal trials across Southern California. “That experience has given me the unique opportunity to develop my understanding of the law and my knowledge of our legal system from top to bottom.” 

Above and beyond his experience as a prosecutor, Murphy prides himself on adhering to the high standards of integrity and impartiality he believes all judges should hold. “Judges make decisions every day that have an impact on the people that appear before them, and those decisions can be very significant for those individual lives,” he points out. “The people who appear before the courts need to have confidence that their judges are making decisions not based on political bias, not based on a political agenda, but on the Constitution and the laws that our representatives have passed.” 

In addition to Judge Hanoian, Murphy is endorsed by eight other Superior Court Judges. Other county leaders endorsing Murphy include San Diego County Sheriff Bill Gore, retired San Diego City Chief of Police David Bejarano, retired San Diego County District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis, and San Diego County Supervisor Greg Cox. The San Diego Deputy District Attorneys Association has also given its support to Murphy in his bid for Superior Court Judge. 

“Superior Court judges have the ability to impact in positive ways the community that they live in,” says Murphy, whose education includes St. Augustine High School, San Diego State University, and the USD School of Law. “It would be an honor to serve in that capacity now as a Superior Court judge.”
