How to get 1 billion hits on a youtube video
Viral videos have one thing in common. Great hooks, extraordinary campaigns. What is your concept, how will you hook your audience in? What niche are you catering to? Are you doing fun? Comedic or captivating? Whatever it is, use lots of light in the video, lots of colour, catchy and memorable wordplay and sentences. Use sharp images and high pixel content, memorable images, potentially a celebrity, if not a celebrity something the audience can remember have fun with and replicate. What's happening on tik tok? Lots of viral videos, why ?
They are creating simple, polished yet well pixelated dance craze videos that audiences can replicate and this has become a new trend taking the internet by storm. Wether it's being fashion forward, an influencer ace, utilise your audience to share , share , share and get your message out there.Make the message simple,memorable and digestible. Know your candidate, know your demographic, if your key target audience were in the local shopping mall which aisle would they go to?
What item would they buy? Why would they pick it up? What makes them tick in the area of finance? What holds their attention? What language holds their attention.
Be willing to go the extra mile. Do data capture forms with surveys to get info on exactly what your target audience are looking for so you can market not just according to niche, but according to need and demand in the market.
Be willing to ask key insightful questions, questions like what sort of campaigns do they remember linked to their interest to the product of interest in the niche. Why do they remember this type of advertising, what made them pick this product? Why do they buy certain items as they shop over their competitors. Reward them for their info with vouchers and coupons, even go as far as inviting them for focus groups or workshops. The more data you acquire from them, the more you will be able to cater your product to suit your audiences needs, monetise through a targeted well presented ,well received advertising and marketing campaign, bring in some revenue, and at a later date, if required bring in investors.

How to be a pinterest influencer
Pinterest is one of my favourite platforms. With a 1 million audience, now you know why. Yet how does one grow their audience on Pinterest become an influencer and even sell on the Pinterest platform?
From the use of Shoppable pins to the oh so awesome tailwind, used for tribe building, connecting and communicating with followers or potential clients.
Let's see how do we start on this adventure. Graphic, delightful and buoyant content. Content needs to be colourful and pleasing to the eye, clear pixels, sharp, language needs to hook audiences in quickly. With Shoppable pins you are selling the products of your choice with the pin promoting that these pins can be bought, it is a choice to use Shoppable or customisable pins, you can request them. Yet a lot of people have a Shopify platform where they sell their products, have a drop shipping platform , and post the links to the products on the Pinterest platform.
Pinterest although initially promoted as a vision board site, is actually also now identified as the next biggest online global shipping search engine. If your not on Pinterest, your missing money, contacts, and your missing a trick. It's a great platform to go viral on and build an audience.
People often focus on YouTube and Instagram, yet these two platforms can become over saturated, it can be hard to get awareness for your content or brand, yet with Pinterest you have a space or a marketplace, to build on your brand, gain some recognition, and sell.
Yet this all works successfully if you take the time to build your online networks,
Your online following, and communicate and build relationships with potential clients , through engagement.
Provide them information and resources that they would like to hear.
Insights, interviews, courses,
Ways to Monetise on passive income online.

How to make £15000 with a podcast

First of all make your podcast a freemium membership. That means it starts off free so they don't feel threatened, yet you still request that they provide their bank details.
Provide incredible content and be consistent.
Have a trial period. Now build on your following, send them perks, create a real sense of community once they go past the trial period, message them with info, call it info bytes, mini bits of information or resources that could be useful to them in their niche. Something key like grants information,funding bodies, investors, projects, things that will make them spread the word and want to get other people to subscribe.

Top 10 ways to improve your selling skills
Sales are the future. From abundant living to negotiating a flexible versatile lifestyle, they are the present, and consistently create access for those who are eager to upgrade their finances. We are all in sales in one way or another, we just dont know it. Everytime you present yourself in some way, thats kind of a sale. Making friends, a sale, your requesting people to buy in, in some way. A new job, requesting they buy into your portfolio of skills, relationships, requesting people celebrate your strengths. When we put ourselves out there we are often promoting, we organise our presentation, packaging, branding, tell people who we would like them to identify us as...Marketing. Hoping they buy in and spread the word.
Now lets not talk about sales in a broad scale, lets talk about a very key area of sales. Negotiating and building relationships.
First of all what is a sale? A sale is the exchange of goods or service for finance or capital. It can be short and sweet, or often be through extensive negotiations. Sales is also a game of Positioning, and the ability to build trust in a relationship in a very short amount of time. The buyer invest their finances because they trust the product, the brand, the service, or the individual.
Selling is often about the sellers ability to communicate, and engage with the buyer, having excellent conversational skills, making sure the narrative is open, and dialogue flows, answering key questions, and building that key trust.
First of all know your product or service. What are the strengths and the pro's of the service your selling? Where can it solve the buyers problem? How are you saving them Money? Could you be saving them money they could be investing elsewhere? List the problems you are solving for them, dont be pushy but direct, open the conversation enough so they can challenge you
Provide sales figures, and a sales report, and data analytics, show how well the product or service is doing in the market, which area is it selling the most, why are others buying it, Why and how is it beating its competitors, what is its unique selling point? Does it save time utilising this product or service? Does it open the floor up to more opportunities , more access?
Does this product have the potential to give you cashback, is it half price, will there be a discount on the next item, a buy one get one free offer.
Also when you talk about this product comment loosely about other things they might end up wasting their money on, things that wont bring a return, emphasize a lack of time, time restraint, the special offer coming to a close, also indicate that they are being given a special client treatment as a key candidate, therefore you should actually deliver, an extra surplus service. Maybe have a supervisor, or an advisor sit in on a call to answer more of their questions.Give them time. Show them they are valued.
Have a great opening pitch, be warm and friendly in the introduction, if you get their secretary or pa, also treat that individual with warmth and respect also.
Be a good advisor
Be a good listener and be present in the conversation.
Also See gaps in the conversation. The opportunities are in the conversations, thats where most opportunities hide.
Be good at following up
Build on excellent communication skills
Try and sound Relaxed without sounding uncaring or arrogant
Be Consistent with the follow up.
Dont take the first no for an answer yet dont be overly aggressive and too pushy. You want them to refer you and also do some of the work for you.
Have great knowledge of the product
Understand the weaknesses and strengths of your competitors and know your market
Know the Potential of the product
Be a good problem solver
Know when its time to laugh, and when its time to cry. Some people get this all wrong.
Have fun with the client. Its not about you showing off your degree, your expertise, its really just simply about how well this client will like this product, and how it could change things for them. Say " Its not about me, its about you."
Know that selling is not about aggression, and know the difference between thirst and determination, Desperate and forward.
Its alright to spice it up with a bit of nice. " Add a bit of charm, just dont be greasy"
Know how to step off the charm accelerator, and then show the knowledge.
Let the customer feel as though their well positioned for this opportunity.
Put your ego aside for the sale
In negotiations its alright to step back
Top 12 ways to earn your first million through a blog
Do you need a hotsell for blogging?
Its fun, its creative, its challenging, exciting, highly engaging, and even better, it can give you an income. There is a whole army of us that are going down the passive income stream eager to access potential funds, and have a more flexible day to day, with better and more mobile time management. Who doesnt get tired of the 9 to 5 , Office politics, the dictator or head honcho, the bully in the office convincing the other colleagues its a playground dynamic rather than a time to get your head down and focus on developing your skills to bring in that income that could improve your lifestyle.
Let me phrase it differently do you need a hotsell for six figure passive income, or what i call, crunch time millionaire blogs. We've all heard of them Pro blogger, The tech blogs, Pat Flynn from Smart Passive Income, Marie Forleo from Marie Forleo, Kimra Luna From Freedom Hackers , Jeremy Schoemaker from Shoe Money, Blog geeks that end up retiring early buying an Island and renting a private jet, does this stuff even still exist?
If you talk to your immediate network, all the workaholics, the 9 to 5ers they'll tell you its a dream, that its only special aliens who have fairy dust sprinkled on them from birth accomplish things like this. They tell you their being realistic.
Yet heres my argument to challenge some of the realists out there, what if it so happened that these Millionaire bloggers, or Mighty millionaire moguls in anything, were just flesh human beings like you and me, had 24 hours in a day like you and me, were not bionic? Were not artificial, intelligence, but were humans, managing time differently, managing thought processes differently, researching differently, asking all the right questions, investing differently, and therefore manifesting differently. These guys arent exactly Xmen are they. Yet whats the difference between the Millionaire bloggers, or the millionaire anything?
They start. And most of us are still talking, doubting, trying to be validated by our circles. So lets start. Lets start with some ideas. Ideas that could have some potential and lead us to some insight.
First of all? How do you make money from a blog? You build up demand for its content. You Build up your following. Create engagement, get your audience excited, create buzz and deliver with consistency.
Utilise your Seo. Make sure your using search terms that audiences are searching for?Or entering into the search bar. Hot searches are often things like How do i bring in passive income in a particular niche, how do i get more sales? How do i monetise? Where can i buy at certain products at a discount? Cheap Markets, Funding for businesses in a particular niche.
Make sure your blog ranks high on google

How To make £100,000 a year online
Making any income is a challenge, yet an online income, takes mastery, creativity, and quite a bit of insight. Nobody is asking you to become a genius over night, yet be well researched about your niche, the products you are selling, your brand of engagement, and focus on building relationships with potential customers. Build your audience with content that adds value, the more traffic you have to your site, the more content you put out there, the more no's will bring you closer to the yeses.
Its really about adding value, building the conversation, extending the conversation, building the relationship with your customers and making them feel valued, listened to, heard. Make sure you have high engagement on social media, your branding and marketing packs are of high calibre, Your sales tools are not so much about gimmicks but cater to the question the individual may have. Know your candidate. You are providing a service. That service is solving a problem.
Have a strong outline and understanding of who you are selling to? Why would they come to you over your competition, what makes you stand out? Time is money. Just remember when it comes to the internet, everything is about how quickly they can access the information, the resources, and the insight. Make sure language is easy to interpret.
Images are bold, clear, high quality pixels, phrases are catchy , snappy. Use distinctive hooks, Click bait often works to draw their attention, but now you want to hold their attention. You want them to go through a series of processes, from entering data, to participating in the funnel system.
Share your content
Make the purchase steps easy and the site easy to navigate.
Make the template and theme attractive
When producing content, and using such things as a newsletter, an ebook an e magazine make sure content is up to date, utilise hashtag,key into content about trends.
When entering the search tags pay attention to optimising your site well, what search terms will your audience be entering into the search bars. What will they be looking for? What answers?
Think about what sites your customers are usually visiting, social media, news, shopping and e commerce, entertainment, how can you utilise the information on these sites to appeal to your audience.
What trigger words can you use to hook them in? Now you have to think with both hats on ,as the consumer and as the producer, what are their trigger words, not just buzz words like Sale, or buy now, but words that make them feel as though this is where you are solving the problem and meeting their demands.
Always have a product or a campaign that aims to solve a problem, wether it's a resource, wether it's a product, people go to different sources because they want their needs met in some way. Here is your chance to meet their needs.

Sun Gal (Poetry by Otatade Okojie)
Sun gal (For Otatade)
I am the sun;
I am the Earth
I have been rain
I have been dirt
I'm a shadow in corners,
A celebrity in sight
I am contagious,
But I'm not always right.
Were learning,
We are;
Two dolphins in the ocean
Knowledge is backwards
Sometimes in slow motion
I am the king,
Amongst a tribe of his men
I am the villagers who hover
And then
I am the janitor
Striving for keep
Toiling over time
And under time in his sleep;
I am the wisdom
I am the glory
I am the meaning
In an old prophets story
I am your patience,
I am your mind,
I am the challenge
Beelzebul Want's to find
Started from everything
From ten down to one
I am still the ocean
I still the sun.
Goliath may be growing
David keeps on
Going,
The strength in me
Will rise hundred fold
For Behold,
I AM THE SUN
I am god's gold

The cat near the hot tin roof ( Otatade Okojie Poetry)
The cat near the hot tin roof,
Was careful where it stepped,
It didn't want to burn it's toes
Or accidentally break it's neck,
It didn't want to scrape over,
And blaze it's fur,
So it kept it's distance,
Not going Near,
But cat,
The roof has cooled now,
But still it purrs ,
When will you climb
And brace your wall,
So you can hold your head up tall,
Night turns to day,
Day turns to night,
This tired cat ,
Has wall in Sight,
This creature,
So regal,
So bold,
And so brave,
Meditates on how to behave,
Which way do I climb,
Without getting burnt,
But cat things have turned
And you should have learnt,
You can't go this way, that way or that,
You should be ready to face your spat.
Day turns to night and night turns to day,
Disapointedly the cat meows away.

The Man who walked for Miles (Otatade Okojie Poetry)
The man who walked for miles,
Just doesn't exist,
I commend the ideal
That one should persist
But hey;
This man had to rest,
And stop and catch his breath,
Otherwise he would fall and catch his
death.
He even looked back into the past,
That didn't stop him from moving fast,
No.
Sometimes, this brave tired old man as he,
Had to go back in time and see,
What was on his mind,
What he'd left behind,
And turn then walk away.
This is the story of the man that walked for
miles,
Who had his burden slung on his shoulder,
Who travelled on,
Who kept strong,
Till he was older,
Much older,
For time never stops,
Doesn't just start and never finish,
Time and change,
Does not diminish.
This man now rests,
Legs stretched to unfold,
Without this journey,
His quest would never be told.

Storm Clouds in Fiction
Storm cloud
Once we were fiction
Caught in the rough
Distilled in a poem
Broken enough
These words
They would chide
Us
Our season so dim
Hack us to pieces
Making us thin
I stand on an Island
Caught in a war
Reaching out to your
Fiction
Thats bleeding me raw
Now we are fiction
Soon we are smoke
What was this love?
I cannot cope

No Sweeping Sundays
No sweeping Sunday
A rest from pain
A chattering Mind
My dulling brain
Gladiator rises
With Trojan steps
Each walk i take
The ground has cleft
For whewn i fell
I so was bruised
Battered
Small
Flame
Diffused
And now i march
To lions Gate
Just so Goliath
Can see my
Fate

The start of our Budget like a Badass Journey
Budgeting can be tough, so much temptation out there, so many distractions. Everytime you step out into the great outdoors, the shops are calling, and all those delicious aisles of stuff. Stuff to cater to your mood, this hunger, or thirst you have to either splurge or validate this feeling ypour experiencing. Wether its a breakup, a bad day at work, an argument at home, a snack at lunchtime, or just to feel delightful, you know exactly what you wanna do. You tap that smiling pocket, or pull the wallet out of the handbag, here comes the friendly credit card, debit card, your just a beep away from that feeling of gratification....Oh oh....this path doesnt lead to the smiling pocket, the more trips you make, the more purchases you get , or things you consume for that thing of absence, the more you realise, something physically isnt presence....Your finances. The bank account is running on empty.

Start a savings journal or a wealth journal
Understand your accounts and where your weaknesses are when it comes to spending and when it comes to saving and budgeting.
Learn from the error of those with a leaking pocket.
No matter your income if you have a hole in your pocket , the money you bring in will be dust, and you will always have a negative account at thde end of the month.
I am learning to try and teach myself restraint.
Breaking old habbits, replacing old habbits with new consistent positive habbit.
You need to replace those negative habbits with a positive action, and psychology.
What can you do instead of spending that money?
I spend when im bored.
Distracted
Spend whenever a new project opens up
The spending makes me feel as though im executing, like im doing something.
What are your spending habbits?
What do you spend on?
What is your pocket Cryptonite?

Mine is going to the local shop to feel like im stretching my limbs, getting small treats, nick nacks, or going into town and randomly buying clothes that i dont need. My wardrobe has thrown up some really bad outfits of late.
The downside of all of this is negative self talk, doubting your ability to manage your finances, not having funds in place to invest in key assets. Start with your wealth journal, manage your accounts, check your financial statements, and create a weekly budget. It can be from £50 a week, but something realistic that is flexible. Which allows you to manage and pay attention to your finances so you can have some seed money, for maybe a down payment on a house, a holiday, or an investment.
Counter the pocket Cryptonite habbit. Validate yourself with positive self talk, list and journal things to do that dont involve spending money, look at wether or not you really need the item of consumption. If a week later you dont hunger for the item on your list, then it may not be a necessity.

Have a want list and have a need list. Decide what is necessary. Put funds into your savings account and pay yourself first. Set up a monthly direct debit, putting funds into your account.

Hot Trends Cool Ideas
Trends are shapeshifting society. We are evolving constantly becoming more dynamic, creative, explosive, adventurous, and tapping into new markets. From the magic of the buoyant fashion influencer, to the capital markets, and ecommerce trends in global investment markets, the celebrity profiles that impact design, brands that form street dialogue.
They become part of the flow, part of the dialogue, and add to the body of our daily 3 dimensional personas.
What trends are you into? What does it say about us? About what were trying to express, who were trying to become? Here at the Hotbox Headquarters we've been having quite impassioned debates about Monetising trends, trends are great to talk about, yet why are all these big bigbrands, creating the buzz, making the money from all the trends and all the hype. What about people like You and me, when were even struggling to find work.
Heres a nugget for you. First rule of thumb.
What niche do you know about, what trends are you hot on the heels about? What markets sell products linked to that trend? Is it trainers, sportswear, music? Books? Where is the gap that you can slide into? Where is the problem, where you can be the solution
Lets say in certain areas in London there is a new trend of customising graffitti print on trainers and selling them in Local community markets, maybe using glow in the dark ink to give it that stand out distinct print.
Maybe theres been talks online on one of the social media forums your active on about a story thats exploded on the news about a Fridge magnet company making a fortune, why not consider creating your own customised quiky meme fridge magnets
Theres so many things we can have fun with from fun trends to social media fun on the internet.
I.E a celebrity has been caught in the most compromising position once again. You create your own customizable game of celebrity who dunnit.
In 1990 which celebrity said this,Which celebrity did this? Which celebrity was quoted as saying this?
There is so much fun to be had with all the trends out there, join us on the Hotbox Platform for the hottest trends the hottest insights.
