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.

Start Tasking with a No Brainer... #ManageFlitter

(Blog) When I need to start tasking and getting something done there are a couple of tricks that I use. 

I will undoubtedly write about these again in more depth but... 

1. I set a 20 minute timer, either on my phone or on my computer...no egg timer. 
2. I delete non-followers using Manage Filter

Check out Manage Flitter here

Build your Twitter account with ManageFlitter

Mange Filter is an award winning Twitter management tool. I used to use another service which decided to close it's doors and so I needed to find another solution. I am new to this system and even though I use systems like SocialOomph, Hootsuite I still find that each system even though they share similar functions, each one does things better than the rest. 

Manager Filter helps me delete and sift through non-followers that I follow. Those of you who are actively growing  your Twitter base and are not a celebrity realize that the strategy is typically to follow people and they follow you back. But once you get past following 5000 accounts then the system will regulate you based on ratio of followers to following and you get an error stating that you can't follow any more people.  Thus the need for a service like Manage Filter.

Just a quick tip and Ideally I can do a more in depth interview and ideally even talk to someone from Manage Flitter. 

As an example of productivity, my 20 min. timer lead to deleting 100+  Non-Followers and writing a quick blog post...DONE!

Now! Back to doing a more involved project.

OK back to it...

 

 

 

 

 

 

Top 5 Reasons why Twitter should keep the 280 limit and Trump is not one of them.

San Diego,CA-(blog) Twitter is experimenting with expanding the 140 character limit to 280. I am excited to say that I was lucky enough to be included in that beta group, and I dig it.

Back in the day when Twitter launched, I remember trying to explain what Twitter was. We used to say it’s mini blogging... which then led to the question...what is blogging? Well it's writing on a blog. OK what is a blog, etc. etc. etc. The explanation I like to give now is that it’s more like texting to the public. A normal tweet has 140 character limit, a text has 160 the new beta Twitter is 280.

TOP 5-10 Reasons why Twitter should keep the expanded 280 character limit.

1. Express Yourself : With the 280 character limit, I find it easier to craft a more natural complete thought. I also find myself actually being able to use adjectives rather than sacrificing them for brevity. This according to Twitter’s blog post is exactly the reason for the expansion, “9% of all Tweet in English hit the 140 character limit.”.

2. Quicker learning curve for beginners : For those new to Twitter or who never got quite started on Twitter, the 280 character limit will help attract a new or renewed audience.

3. Better Grammar: Speaking of using adjectives, you also get to write in multiple, more correct sentences. I find myself being able to express a complete thought and then add #hashtags. Yes, I am still including some of the text within a sentence structure #hashtagged, but it’s a lot more forgiving and interesting.

4. More characters means more #Hashtags: If your goal is to be read or seen and grow your Twitter following and increase your brand, then the consistent use of #hashtags helps.For example, #actorslife #setlife #entrepreneur these are hashtags I use often, and because of it I get new followers and traffic from those consistent and expanded hashtags.

"Twitter's new 280 limit means more characters which means more #hashtags which means more traffic." -DavidKamatoy.guru

5. Twitter is relevant again: Social media has a tendency to be quickly generational. (Those damn kids on MySpace. Back in my day we used Compuserve and we liked it.) This current generation has a tendency to move towards Instagram and Snapchat vs. Twitter and Facebook. I tell people of all generations that we must communicate with people on whatever platform that they are on. So while your friends are on Instagram, the people hiring you might be on LinkedIn and the people you need to impress may be on Facebook. That and posting a resume on Snapchat doesn’t make a lot of sense.

Twitter has a tendency to be more in the middle and have the best of both worlds. Which is why I focus my efforts here and I try get my clients both in entertainment and business to do the same. Even if you have a dominant presence on other platforms, I still have people focus on Twitter.

Many of the early adopters have a strong presence on Twitter: popular entertainers, business people, platforms, and yes even President Trump is part of the reason that Twitter is relevant. You can be as light or as heavy as you would like, but the fact that the platform allows that lean towards the intellectual makes a lot of sense. Also, Twitter algorithms are a lot less restrictive than Facebook. In Facebook your posts are extremely limited and you often need to pay to play for more exposure. In Twitter your tweets and interactions have a better chance of being seen, and vice versa. Especially now with the character expansion..

Also Twitter has been the most open towards API integration, it seems. The ability to use programs like Hootsuite, Socialoomph, Klout and Manageflitter to manage the data and build a following is exciting.

Random points: As a reference point you can read the blog post about their reasoning for expanding the character limit here.

https://blog.Twitter.com/official/en_us/topics/product/2017/Giving-you-more-characters-to-express-yourself.html

Not everyone has the 280 limit (including President Trump), and so popular programs that allow you to post from their sites are still using a 140 character default. So I am actually copying and pasting into Twitter natively so I can expand my message.

Financially: Let’s face it Twitter is still trying to figure that one out. But they continue to hold their insane evaluation. So hopefully this experiment will be fruitful to them. If Twitter ever wants to fly my team in to brainstorm on how this thing can make money, I would love to do that.

Conclusion: I hope it sticks. I think it helps the English language. I think it helps us express ourselves, and finally I think that we as users get more out of it with the ability to add #hashtags and be seen by more relevant viewers.

Twitter’s Algorithm Update & What It Means for Brands

Tri-Tip Tuesday 1.31.2016 Control The Flow of Information via Google News / Scholar

Welcome to Tri-Tip Tuesday where we share important thoughts about social media, marketing, and anything else that comes to mind. We are always looking for good ideas that we can develop for future TTT posts.

Tip #1 Control what you read.

Back in my day we had these books called encyclopedias; now we have Wikipedia and the power of the internet search engines literally at our fingertips 24/7. So now more than ever we need to control the feed of information. It’s so easy via Facebook and social media to spend a lot of time reading what is trending, and some some of that may be fake news.  But is what is really trending specific to your business or specific to your topics of interest? What is at your top of mind awareness?

If the quality of your life is what you focus on then choose to feed your brain with topical information that matters. Some of the greatest minds in the world are avid readers. Start by reading or focusing on material that matters for 20 min. a day.

What to read?

Tip #2 Google News and others...

You may already know about Google News, but just in case you didn’t, here’s the point. You can use Google news to “Personalize Your News Settings” as you can on other news search engines like Yahoo.

You can also set up news alerts to email you updates based on topics or keywords on a daily, weekly, or per mention email alert. You can even “narcissistically” enter your own name or brand.

The good news and bad news is that Google's algorithm takes you to information that you trend. So if you're in the process of changing your focus, your search engine relevance may take a bit to follow. So what  I do is I often scan my other browsers for what’s trending. It’s also a media trick to see who has the bigger PR budget sometimes.

#3 Google Scholar

Google Scholar takes it to a whole new nerdy level: “Google Scholar broadly search for scholarly literature. From one place, you can search across many disciplines and sources: articles, theses, books, abstracts and court opinions, from academic publishers, professional societies, online repositories, universities and other web sites. Google Scholar helps you find relevant work across the world of scholarly research.”

Imagine knowing the most recent relevant published references to your interests and business. We have this set up for Email Marketing, Neutropic, etc. Oddly I typed in our last name and learned something I did not know about a distant family member.

Final thoughts...

I teach this acting class and at the top of the class I ask , “What did you watch or read that inspired you this week?” The idea here is that we consume so much data as just popcorn or fluff. We are talking hours of Netflix, Fake News and Video Games. So why not take some of that time back under your control and get smarter by controlling what you read on a daily basis to start for 20 min. a day?

Tri-Tip Tuesday 1.24.2017 - Biz com on Social Media, Business Cards, Proper Apostrophes

Welcome to Tri-Tip Tuesday (#TriTipTues) where we share important thoughts about social media, marketing, and anything else that comes to mind. We are always looking for good ideas that we can develop for future TTT posts.

Social Media and Messages - Just Say No

Social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. have become more popular as methods of communication. However, these are not the best formats if you have important business to conduct. We have had the problem of a contact sending a message via one of these platforms, and then wondering why they never heard back from us. Here is the problem - volume.

If you have a large number of contacts, it is not unusual for several of them to send you messages on social media platforms. This will cause earlier messages to be pushed down, sometimes to the point that the disappear from the short list that you see when you open the message list. Then as new messages come in, you lose track of how many you still need to look for. Eventually your contact becomes upset, even though it was their mistake that led to the situation. And yes, it is a mistake.

How do you avoid this situation? Simple - use email. Even though some people think email is out of date, it is still the best electronic method for contacting people with important messages - especially business messages. Email has many advantages over social media messaging. First, and possibly most important, it is easily searchable. If your contact sends you some important information on a social media platform, you may have to scroll back through possibly dozens of unimportant conversations before you find what you are looking for. With email you can simply put the topic into the search and pull up a limited number of choices to check. Email also is superior for including files that your contact may need. Finally, it is simply more professional than social media.

Our new internal policy at KMG is email, text, phone call as a priority for business communications. Additionally, we now ask recipients for confirmation of receipt as opposed to a passive-aggressive, “Hey, I sent you a message.”

All-in-all, email should be your go-to method for all business and other important electronic communication. Social media can be the start of the conversation, but once it gets serious then move to email and save social media for your cat pictures and sarcastic memes.

Business Card Tip

Have you ever found a business card in your wallet or on your desk and wondered, “What was this all about?” Admit it, you have. Probably multiple times. If you are in business, you meet people nearly every day, and you likely receive dozens of business cards each week. So how can you prevent that hot prospect you met from having one of those “Who was this?” moments when they look at your card? Simple - write a note.

This sounds so simple, but it does take some planning. First, you need to make sure that your business card has space, either on the front or the back, where you can write a short, targeted note. You also need to have a card that can be written on. Many people carry fancy slick-paper cards that won’t take any kind of pen, defeating this handy tip. By using  a simple card stock, you give yourself the opportunity to be different in a way that your contacts will remember.

This is one of the reasons why you can actually order cards with a coating on one side and not on the other or none at all. We are leaving space on our current card design specifically for this reason.

The message doesn’t have to be long - in fact think of it as your handwritten Tweet. It can be something to the effect of, “Great talking about marketing your product. Call me,” or “Would like to discuss how our projects might fit together.” The idea here is to leave them with just enough information that they remember why they got your card in the first place, but not so much that they don’t feel the need to contact you. Also, remember to sign your name, even just your first name, to make it more personal.

The Writer’s Corner - Proper Apostrophes

Remember to use an apostrophe only for a possessive (John’s car) or for a contraction (don’t). Using an apostrophe in a plural is confusing and shows that you might not understand basic grammar.

For example:

“I took my dog’s for a walk” would lead a grammar-knowledgeable person to ask, “Your dog’s what?” You might say, “I took my dog’s puppies for a walk,” or “I took my dogs (multiple) for a walk.”

What if you have multiple dogs that have a single house, for example? Then you put the apostrophe after the plural as in “I cleaned out the dogs’ house.”

One of the more confusing uses or non-uses of the apostrophe is “its/it’s.” Remember that “it’s” is a contraction of “it is” and so it requires the apostrophe. On the other hand “its” is a possessive pronoun similar to “hers” and “his” and does not require an apostrophe (yes, a possessive does not always need the apostrophe).

Good writing takes concentration, commitment and attention to detail.

Social Media Management = A LOT OF CLICKING...

As I sit down and decide to throw some time at social media management. I immediatly miss the OLD DAYS when twitter allowed optmization of certain tasks via third-party apps. Oh WELL!

Regardless the more accounts and aggresive you want to be, the reality is that you have to CLICK A LOT. Vetting and getting rid of people who do not follow you on twitter is one of those realities of social media management that escape certain celebrities. (I am not there yet.) 

I don't really have a solution besides OUTSOURCING, this is just a simple observation and that it's a reality that getting this stuff done is an ongoing process. It's a lot like cleaning, working out or eating well. 

Anyway, I am throwing a few hours in now, well see how far I get. 

BY THE WAY IF I FOLLOW YOU AND YOUR NOT FOLLOWING ME, PLEASE FOLLOW ME BACK =)OR YOU MAY BE UN-FOLLOWED, LOVE YA! 

 

 

Blogging Again..."The more I have to write about the less time I have to write."

 

This is me with Kickboxing Champion Lisa King. (Yes! I should be blogging about this.)

"The more I have to write about the less time I have to write." - David Kamatoy, juggler aka blogger

In the age of social media blogging continues to be extremely important. A blog should be the central HUB for all content you create because you own it. In then should be shared via social media leading the public back to your site / brand. 

CONTENT IS KING AGAIN

Content will always be king and in the age of social media it becomes even more and more important. Often we are so busy creating projects and media that we do not optimize them for the web via blogging, press releases, articles, pictures, etc. In many ways that's our continuing goal as a media company. To adequately optimize our media. 

For example the business that goes to the trouble of spending $5000 on a trade show booth but spends no money telling people outside and inside the trade show that they will be at the trade show via press releases, video, pictures, blogging and social media. Just like spending the additional money to staff the booth so should the company optimize it's investment buy budgeting for MEDIA & PR.

A VIRAL HIT + BODY OF WORK = OVERNIGHT SUCCESS (That took 10+ years to build.)

Everytime someone finds something that we or our cliets have done, we want them to see and easily find something else that we have done. This creates multiple impressions, branding, credibility, an increase in database and ideally an increase in revenue.

For example if you have only one video on YOUTUBE and someone sees that video and even loves it. What's the next video that come up on youtube? A: NOT YOURS. Epsecially if that is your only video.

 Verily I say unto thee, the more media the merrier...

"In the age of social media, you can't ignore PR because by definition social media is PR. Take control of it and master it, your doing it anyway, just be mindful of it and improve."

-David Kamatoy juggler aka Host of 'Blog This with David Kamatoy'

This week alone we are producing 11 hours of national & regional radio, 6-10 hours of broadcast television. Additional Videos for the web. Continuing production on 3 musical songs and participating in a international UN Peace concert.(Ooh and I am submitting as a juggler for a national tv commercial =).)

• Visit BigBizShow.com this week for new shows
• Visit RobertCardozaLive.com for politics,money and you
• Visit and subscribe to youtube.com/thejuggler for the new videos. 

HA! So yes there is a LOT TO BLOG ABOUT. We already producing the media. So now it's time to OPTIMIZE our efforts. 

BUYER BEWARE: There are firms out there taking advantage of people and businesses that NEED SOCIAL MEDIA and then charging hundreds of dollars or more a month. However, if you don't have anything to promote via social media (i.e. blogging) then there is really nothing to build your social media around.

SHAMELESS CTA: We would love to help with creating something to blog about. Give us a call at 619-573-9456 or email us via the contact page, http://KamatoyMediaGroup.com

Anyway! My immediate goal is to start to babble again, that's what this is about. 

BLOG THIS BABY!,

Blog This With David Kamatoy 7.8.2011:Twitter Klout PeerIndex Tweet.Grader Village Theatre

It was great to take a good look at Tweet.Grader, PeerIndex & Klout. Each have their benefits and bragging rights and theres no reason not to sign up for all of them. I have learned a lot about my own tweets patterns through all of them.

Enjoy!

For Immediate Release

"Blog This with David Kamatoy" covers the convergence of entrepreneurship, entertainment, and e-marketing.This episode covers Klout, Peer Index and Tweet.Grader, sites that help you measure your social influence on twitter. The latest installment additionally covers a birthday, 2 weddings and the reopening of the Village Theater in Coronado, CA. "Blog This with David Kamatoy" is a video blog extension of DavidKamatoy.com.

The show opens with David musing on the re-launching of "Blog This" on his birthday and a creepy rollover greeting from Google. He then moves on in Entertainment to discuss the wide-ranging coverage of the wedding of Doug Hutchison and Courtney Alexis Stoddard -- including a surprising post on a soccer site. The section ends with congratulations to Kamatoy Media Group team member Leo James on his marriage to Jessica Smith.

"You want to focus on being a 'Rock Star' in your own database."
-David Kamatoy, juggler

"Blog This" continues with the major focus of this show, a discussion of "Social Capital" and the amount of influence individuals and companies can have through sites such as Twitter and Facebook. In this section of the show, David Kamatoy looks at three websites that analyze social influence online: Klout, Twitter Grader, and Peer Index. "Sites like Klout, Peer Index, and Twitter Grader all rate or somehow come up with an algorithm to tell us how influential we are on social media, specifically Twitter," he explains. David Kamatoy goes on to review the advantages and disadvantages of each of the three rating sites, then details his strategies for improving social capital through Twitter. "I think of Twitter like a radio station that has the ability to turn into a conversation," he says. "You have to be willing to find some key people to have a good conversation with online that you know is public." They key, according to Kamatoy, is becoming a "rock star" in your database in order to have productive conversations and create "top-of-mind awareness" among the individuals in that database.

The newest episode of "Blog This" concludes with the video coverage of the reopening of the Village Theater in Coronado. This project is a joint effort with Creative Worldwide Media, Kamatoy Media Group and the Presidio Sentinel. The Village Theater closed down over a decade ago, and was recently restored by Vintage Cinemas, based in Los Angeles. The grand opening drew a huge crowd, including theater fans and the Mayor of Coronado, Casey Tanaka.
