The victims have been bled
Red velvet lines the black box
Bela Lugosi's dead."
-From the song Bela Lugosi's Dead by Bauhaus
World War I suddenly cut his film career short and Bela enlisted in the army. He rose to the rank of lieutenant, but the war became too much for Bela. He was discharged before it ended and claimed, "I feigned insanity in order to get out of the service and return to civilian life."
The War ended and Bela returned to his film career. He acted in twelve more silent movies before immigrating to America.
Bela could find know work as an actor in America and at age 40 had to turn to the work of a day laborer. His body was too old to take the physically exhausting work and he threw out his back several times. He continued to audition for the theater, but his accent was viewed as comical. He couldn't land an acting job. According to Bela, "In Hungary, acting is a profession. In America, it is a decision."
Bela finally got a break with the starring role in the play 'Dracula'. His accent was actually key to him landing the part. The stage play was a huge success and Universal Pictures wanted to turn it into a movie, but Bela was not asked to reprise his role for the movie version. Universal Pictures wanted Lon Chaney, but Lon Chaney was under contract to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios . With Chaney unavailable, Universal decided to give Bela a chance to reprise his role in the film.
DRACULA starring Bela Lugosi was released by Universal Studios in 1931. It was a huge critical and box office success. It made Bela a star. After a couple of years, DRACULA was relegated to a B-level horror flick. All of the films critical acclaim was forgotten and Bela's performance was judged as completely over-the top.
Bela's contract was dropped by Universal and he was only offered similar Dracula-type roles in low budget films. This was a serious blow to the Shakespearean trained actor. " I used to be the big cheese. Now I'm playing just a dumb part." – Bela Lugosi
Bela's back injuries were acting up with age and he was becoming dependent on the morphine his doctors were prescribing.
Bela arrived on set for the Monogram Pictures B-movies, the only gig he could get, high on morphine. In attempt to hide his drug addiction, Bela would continually sip Burgundy wine and feign intoxication. Alcoholism was far more socially acceptable than injecting morphine.
The roles in the Monogram Pictures dried up and Bela's morphine addiction was eating away at his finances. Bela claimed, " Without movie parts I was reduced to freak status. I couldn't stand it. " Bela was in and out of rehab and no one would hire him except for the eccentric cult filmmaker, Ed Wood. Bela took the role in Ed Wood's film PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE. Bela didn't care it was considered one of the worse films ever to be made. Bela was just happy to have money for morphine and was relieved to not be playing Dracula.
Bela enjoyed his favorite meal of Hungarian Goulash and Burgundy wine at his home in Los Angeles. Bela didn't eat much in the weeks following this meal and he survived mainly on morphine.
Before filming finished on PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE, Bela died alone in his Los Angeles home of a heart attack on August 15, 1956. Bela's family requested that he be buried in his Dracula costume.
"Every actor's greatest ambition is to create his own definite and original role but I found this to be fatal." – Bela Lugosi

Six months: Sandy Alderson gives notice to the Wilpons
On Saturday afternoon, Mets general manager Sandy Alderson said this: "I do believe that over the next six months or so we will be in position to make some significant acquisitions, whether it's through free agency or trade. We're certainly looking forward to that possibility."
Exactly who was he talking to?
Story Continued Below
Don't be fooled. Alderson may have been speaking to a group of season-ticket holders on Saturday, people tired of seeing the Mets continue to gut their major league roster in the name of rebuilding, as if the mere presence of major league quality outfielders on short-term deals would in any way inhibit the construction of a long-term contender.
But Alderson's real audience was the ownership group of the New York Mets.
Alderson was giving Fred Wilpon and his partners notice that they have six months to get their financial house in order, and provide him a reasonable budget, and more to the point, a stable budget for planning purposes, so Alderson can aid his admirable attempt to restock the Mets farm system with the supplementary talent every team needs from other avenues, such as free agency and trades, to actually contend.
Consider that for roughly as long as Alderson has been the general manager, dating back to October 2010, it has been his job to publicly declare what payroll would be, how long the temporary period of austerity would last, and then, when it lasted longer and payroll shrunk, to provide a new, hazy time horizon for a new and wealthier day.
Meanwhile, the supposedly catalytic events allowing the Mets to spend, such as roughly $50 million in salary off the books after the 2011 season, or the settlement of the lawsuit against the Mets owners by Irving Picard, the trustee for the Bernie Madoff victims in March 2012, haven't changed a thing, because of debt service on enormous debts against the team, due in 2014, and the Mets owners' stake in S.N.Y., due in 2015.
At times, Alderson's frustration with his financial handcuffs has been obvious, such as when he spoke in an utterly disassociative fashion this winter with Mike Francesa about how the outfield he joked about in November remained stubbornly joke-worthy in January, and eventually, in April.
When that didn't go over so well with his bosses, Alderson said this less than two weeks later: "The reason we haven't spent the money is not because of Fred Wilpon. It's because of me."
To believe that, it required accepting that Alderson, unlike basically every general manager ever, preferred to work with less money to avoid fixing a team he'd repeatedly acknowledged had cavernous roster holes. And yet, that's been the public line from Alderson and the Mets in the subsequent months.
Back in January, here's what Alderson said about when that might change: "Am I going to recommended that we sit here in New York City and function like the Oakland Athletics for the next 10 years? No I'm not... I'm not asking you to believe me until you see some manifestation of that, which I hope is sooner rather than later."
But the problem Alderson faces is exactly the same as before. Ownership's assurances, that he's dutifully repeated, haven't come to fruition. And as Alderson enters the final year of the four-year contract he signed in October 2010, essentially the last chance he'll have on this deal to shape the major league club, rather than just restock the farm system, will come this winter, or roughly six months away, and/or he can make a big trade in the intervening months.
Alderson's $90-100 million payroll for 2014, which he referenced with Mike Francesa last week, is aspirational until ownership can provide him with new money to spend. And providing him with new money to spend, as I've previously reported, is no simple task for Fred Wilpon and his partners.
Instead of backing Alderson up on the specifics, both Fred and Jeff Wilpon have endorsed Alderson generally, while calling for Mets fans to be patient, as if those still backing this team have been anything else.
Here's Jeff, back on June 4, sounding nothing like an chief operating officer about to let his general manager start spending freely. "You can't change the plan every year. OK? Sandy, it's taken him two or three years to get the plan into effect, and we have to wait and see it out.
"You can't just say it's not going as fast as we want, we're six months behind, two months behind, whatever it might be. You've got to let the plan go all the way down the line. If you're going to buy into something, you got to buy into it. You can't change midstream because if you're constantly changing, there's no chance you're going to succeed."
Note the subtle assignation of blame to Alderson, a general manager without the basic level of financial support, or even the knowledge of what his budget will be month-to-month, for a delay in Alderson's plan going into effect.
Two weeks later, Fred gave an interview to Newsday. Like his son, Fred Wilpon said nothing of the specifics Alderson described to Francesa last week or fans on Saturday. Instead, he sought to assure the public that he was emotionally invested in the Mets--an odd assertion to have to make from someone whose financial well-being has a great deal to do with the Mets, but necessary when Wilpon has spent the past five years pretending he has plenty of money, but is just declining to spend it on the Mets.
"We're coming to the end of the time when we have had an overhang of players who got hurt or didn't play well, and I think that Sandy Alderson and his staff have a plan," Wilpon said Monday. "I know some people are impatient about it. But they do have a plan and they're executing on their plan and I think things are in the right direction. It's hard to say that when the team loses four, five in a row."
But whatever nebulous things either Wilpon is saying these days about Alderson's plan, everyone understands, including Alderson, that he's performing triage unless and until ownership reaches a financially viable state once more. He's done good work when allowed, such as getting Zack Wheeler for two months of Carlos Beltran back in 2011. But he's been forced to handle the rebuilding of the New York Mets on a case-by-case basis, rather than getting to plan a year or more into the future.
And this time, rather than simply letting shifting Wilpon declarations of financial health play out under cover of darkness, Alderson is providing a timetable, and a minimum amount of new money to invest, with the clear alternative that Alderson, and whatever legitimacy the Wilpon regime could still pretend to have, would disappear.
It has now been 14 months since that famous case settled, the trustee, given access to Wilpon finances that Alderson could only dream of, determining that Wilpon and his partners were circling the drain financially. Instead of taking the $83.3 million already won in pretrial motions, Picard settled for, effectively, nothing, preferring to focus on other cases where actual money could be won for Madoff victims.
In that time, Alderson has managed to re-sign one key player, David Wright, with a massively backloaded and deferred contract (necessary as a result of that 2014 debt against the team), while overall spending on the team, in real terms, declined once again.
Alderson's public line in the sand is a fascinating one. If the words coming out of Fred Wilpon's mouth are more reliable than the cold analysis of Irving Picard was back in March 2012, he's got roughly six months to prove it to Sandy Alderson. If he does, a major league roster badly in need of an "infusion of players, productive players" (as Alderson put it last August) will start to get the help it desperately requires.
What happens if he doesn't? It's likely to get ugly, fast.

58 dead in Afghan shrine blasts
Twin blasts at Afghan shrines on the Shiite holy day of Ashura left at least 58 people dead on Tuesday, with one massive suicide attack in Kabul ripping through a crowd of worshippers including children.world Updated: Dec 06, 2011 17:32 IST
Twin blasts at Afghan shrines on the Shiite holy day of Ashura left at least 58 people dead on Tuesday, with one massive suicide attack in Kabul ripping through a crowd of worshippers including children.
The attack in the capital and another in the northern city of Mazar-i-Sharif came a day after an international meeting in Germany aimed at charting a course for Afghanistan, 10 years after US-led forces drove the Taliban from power.
The Kabul blast alone killed 54 people, in the deadliest strike on the capital in three years. The Taliban condemned the attacks as "inhumane" and instead blamed the bloodshed on the "invading enemy".
The explosion erupted at the entrance to a riverside shrine in central Kabul, where hundreds of singing Shiite Muslims had gathered to mark Ashura, with men whipping their bare backs as part of the traditional mourning.
"I was there watching people mourning when there was suddenly a huge explosion," witness Ahmad Fawad said.
"Some people around me fell down injured. I wasn't hurt, so I got up and started running. It was horrible," he said.
Men and women at the scene sobbed as they surveyed the carnage, and screamed slogans denouncing Al-Qaeda and the Taliban.
A young girl, dressed in a green shalwar kameez smeared in blood, stood shrieking, surrounded by the crumpled bodies of slain children.
One person wounded in the attack, Sayed Gharib, described the horrific scenes in an interview from his hospital bed.
"There was a huge bang close to where I was standing, I felt a pain in my legs and hands and fell down. I saw a lot of people covered in blood around me," he said.
Health ministry spokesman Ghulam Sakhi Kargar Noorughli told AFP that 54 were dead in the Kabul attack and another 150 were injured.
Separately, four people were killed in Mazar-i-Sharif when another blast struck a shrine in the northern city. It was not immediately clear whether Shiites were the target.
The explosion was caused by a bicycle bomb, said Lal Mohammad Ahmadzai, a police spokesman for northern Afghanistan, adding that another four people were injured.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for either of the attacks, which were condemned by President Hamid Karzai who is still in Germany following the Bonn conference.
When the Sunni Taliban ruled in the 1990s, minority Shiites from the Hazara group suffered brutal persecution, but in recent years sectarian violence has been rare and the Kabul blast is thought to be the worst attack of its kind.
During the 10-day Ashura ceremonies, which peaked on Tuesday, Shiites beat themselves with knives and chains in religious fervour as they mark the seventh-century killing of a grandson of the Prophet Mohammed.
Shiites were banned from marking Ashura in public under the Taliban.
An Afghan security official speaking on condition of anonymity said it was believed the bomber at the Kabul shrine had arrived with a group of Shiite pilgrims from Logar province, south of Kabul.
Another security official said the capital was now on high alert, with extra security forces deployed in case of any follow-up attacks.
Kabul has been hit by an increasing number of spectacular attacks in 2011, including the September assassination of former president Burhanuddin Rabbani at his home, which hit hard any hopes for Taliban reconciliation.
In the southern city of Kandahar, the Taliban's heartland, police said another five people were wounded in a motorcycle bomb but that it was not connected to Ashura.
The blasts came the day after delegates at the Bonn conference agreed to extend international support for Afghanistan to 2024 following the scheduled withdrawal of all foreign combat troops by the end of 2014.
Pakistan and the Taliban -- both seen as pivotal to ending Afghanistan's long war -- boycotted the talks, undermining already modest hopes for progress.
There are around 140,000 international forces in Afghanistan, most from the United States, fighting the Taliban-led insurgency.
Ashura marks the slaughter of Imam Hussein, the grandson of the Prophet Mohammed, near Karbala by armies of the caliph Yazid in 680 AD.
Tradition holds that the revered imam was decapitated and his body mutilated. His death was a formative event in Shiite Islam.
On Monday, at least 28 people were killed and 78 wounded in a wave of bomb attacks in central Iraq against Shiite pilgrims making their way to Karbala.

INGRID PITT, a Hammer Films goddess, died on November 23rd, at the age of 73. She belongs in a class with Karen Black and Barbara Steele, old-school horror divas you don't mess with unless you want to be beaten to death with cleavage and eye-fucked harder longer and faster than the TSA could ever imagine.
Along with the aforementioned ladies, Ingrid Pitt was one of the leaders of the emerging sexual revolution in horror films that didn't assume that all women were victims. One of her most famous roles was for Hammer Films as a lesbian vampiress.
It is interesting to note in her obit that she said she dreamed of becoming an actress while spending three years in a Nazi concentration camp.

When Kanye West was publicly asked why he loved Kim Kardashian, by Kim Kardashian's mother on TV he said he did not know why. He actually said that. He said he did not know why he was in love with her daughter, Kim. In most relationships such a sub-standard, passionless, ambivalent, public declaration of unfocused affection would be a red flag to a loving mother, but when the mother is a calculated freak, so dazzled by the fame of the mindless suitor, the red flag goes ignored.
Kanye went on to say to the world that he decided to make Kim his wife when she made enough money to support herself so she wouldn't be asking him for money. This is the man that makes her heart skip a beat. Now that Kim comes with the proper dowry, this fine man will take on the burden of her devotion. And while he was being the least seductive, least romantic, tool on the planet, Kim was doing interviews saying he was her best friend. A romance written by publicists is puke-worthy, pathetic and as plastic as a credit card.
Kim's whole ambition in this world is cold and corporate, because she is her creepy mother's daughter, which is why her beloved fiance's carefully constructed profession of love is all about reinforcing Kim's image as a successful business entity. He may love her, (yeah, right) but he does not know why he loves her. The self-professed genius, does not know. I know, why he loves her though. I suspect he loves her much the way you and I love an ATM machine when we really need cash.
The most human thing Kanye said about Kim was that she offered him a support system and that too was still a statement all about everything she could do for him and nothing to do about what she actually means to him. Kanye is all about Kanye and Kanye loves his big, idiot baby self more than he loves anyone on this planet. But let's cut him a break. He's been a hot mess since his momager died, she was the only one who loved him more than he did. Now thanks to Kim he has a new momager, his tenacious momager-in-law, Kris and she will be SOOOO happy to be his new mommy and he loves Kim for bringing his mommy back from the dead. Yes, I am sure he wishes the resurrection of his mommy wasn't an annoying, pushy, white woman, but beggars can't be choosers.
We live in the age of Idiocracy, where parents give birth in an automated world and wake up screaming in the night when they realize they don't know how to raise a human being because they don't have a show about that on TV. We shouldn't be surprised when two mindless, money powered flesh-bots end up on the cover of the world's elite style and culture magazine, it makes total sense.
We live in a time of extraordinary possibility, the technology at our fingertips gives us godlike powers of creativity, there are artists and thinkers doing mind-blowing work, and yet this fucking lazy country is full of entitled pieces of shit who spend their time watching rich people shop, while taking selfies and fucking all day, while the helicopter mommies do everything for them so their dreams just manifest by their bedside as soon as they wake up in the morning and they don't ever actually have to do anything to earn it, miracles just happen, it is the American Dream. That's why we have so many reality shows.
Everybody wants to be a star and if they can't be a star they would like to AT LEAST go to college and get drunk for four years to graduate and get a six figure job. No one wants to start from the ground up. They want to start their career in the corner office. They would like to be in charge of other people. They are willing to go to meetings 7 hours a day and to eat lunch during the eighth. They are happy to get paid while outsourcing the actual invention and production of products to someone else, somewhere else. They want to put money in a bank and have it multiply like gremlins. If people can plagiarize and pinch ideas to get credit for inventing something that's even better, and more profitable than having to develop an original idea.
Kim and Kanye represent the new American Dream, the new average American who just wants to go home from a really fun day of having everyone around you do everything for you. Everyone wants to be the star, to be loved and adored for being so worthy of being so well taken care of just for being born. Everyone wants a trophy for being the worst at everything, while the people who actually struggle to do things well keep civilization standing from their place in the shadows. Kim and Kanye on the cover of Vogue, is that trophy that you give the noisy losers so they stop crying, so every other loser feels like they too have a chance to win something they don't deserve. Our modern society needs to see losers winning so they won't realize what a bunch of fucking losers we are all becoming.
Yes. We are losers. We let ivy-league educated and certified idiot politicians lead us to war year after year, we let school budgets be pillaged, we refuse to put wheelchair ramps in every building, we make blind people jump through bureaucratic hoops to get seeing eye dogs, we let starving families live in their cars and we let veterans live on the streets, we put potheads in prison and let pedophiles collect the Cecil B. DeMille award. We are the lamest bunch of shitheads when you consider what we could be accomplishing if we just demanded that the people we celebrate in the media actually deserve our praise. If we had Sandra Fluke on the cover of Vogue we might have a chance at beauty being more than skin deep.
Anna Wintour has no desire to promote thinking, accomplished women. She needs to be the smartest woman in the room to keep her position of power. Anna needs Kim on the cover of Vogue to create the illusion that she can see the good in the mentally challenged. Anna is accepting, she has accepted the Beverly Hills born-to-porn, earnest Cinderella, who has never cleaned her own floors, and she has sent her an invite to the ball, because Anna is more than a rat-faced, social tyrant. Anna thought she could get her readers to admire a doe-eyed, relentless, untalented moron like Kim, because Anna is condescending as fuck.
Poor Kim needed her dream to come true. Kim is a woman who spent over thirty years primping and priming and buffing herself, while groveling for a chance to be recognized by Anna for being a beauty and fashion icon, but that wasn't enough. Anna needed to see Kim down on all fours taking it in the mouth, cunt and ass from a celebrity before she would allow Kim's beauty to be celebrated and Kim thanked her for the extraordinary honor by tweeting that she was so excited to be on the cover of Vogue that she could "hardly breath." Yes. Kim cannot even spell breathe. But she is our role model, for being so stupid and so beautiful and so fuckable that a celebrity will marry her. And Anna says that is a sign of great character.
When I think of the suicide of L'Wren Scott during this time I see a woman who lived for fashion and the art form that it is. How much the fashion world has lost when someone so talented sees no hope for a future in her industry for her. She bought into the lie that Anna Wintour is promoting with her Kimye cover. L'Wren spent years with a famous man, wanting to be his companion in this world, his intellectual equal, his muse, but she was seen as a "Yoko", always somehow a less than, because without him she was just one more woman in the crowd, but with him, she became Mick Jagger's girlfriend, something that could be promoted, and when she believed her relationship with this powerful man was at an end, she saw no hope for herself, and she gave up her life, her friends and her patrons and the world lost so many years of her creations, so many opportunities to create and share the beautiful work a seasoned artisan does, in the autumn of her life. She had so much to claim during the bitterness of her heartache. That's when a woman really learns to be strong and pure in her reflections and expressions about the journey we are all on. That's when she really discovers what she has to share. And maybe L'Wren's suicide is her last artistic statement. Maybe with the space she is leaving in the fashion world she is saying there is no hope, even for the gracious, the gifted, the devoted, the conscientious, the patient, the poetic, the productive, the skilled–the true lovers of fashion, art and humanity.
Alexander McQueen created works of art that make a mannequin come to life in a way that will haunt you forever, what his clothing does with the body of a real woman makes it impossible not to recognize the power of the human spirit and the glorious eternal might of feminine energy. He too lost his desire to create in this new fashion world, where mediocrity reigns and Anna Wintour co-signs that shit.
Fashion is the art of what it means to be human. All other animals crawl across the globe covered in nothing but their own skin. We show our joy in all the bounty of the earth by plucking off beautiful bits of it and draping ourselves in the glories we find and weaving and stitching these materials into expressions of gratitude for creation and to show our pride in our masterful uniqueness, we dig up the twinkling rocks that live in the ground and satellite our limbs, necks, crowns and ears in cosmic tones. We demonstrate our fearless intrepid audacity by ripping the skins from other animals and wearing them to live in places we were not meant to go. Sometimes we wear rags, to show that there is beauty in decay.
Anna Wintour's decision to put Kimye on the cover is not a celebration of fashion or of Kim's "great character", or a celebration of a great romance, or a celebration of anything, it is a money move, it is a publicity seeking desperate grab for attention that undermines everything. It is a selfish act by a trusted ally of the artisans and patrons of the fashion arts that robs the culture of the necessary leadership to promote great and innovative design. As the head of Vogue Anna has a responsibility to protect and demand a culture where fashion designers can create and shine without having their designs pillaged and eclipsed by unskilled, untalented, fame-seeking, celebrities who make the designers and tailors invisible, making it impossible for patrons to know the true source of their inspiration and for the designers to get the exposure they need to raise the capital necessary to continue to innovate within the industry.
With this offensive Kimye cover Anna is pissing on the future of the fashion industry. It should be an art-fueled industry with more artists like Alexander McQueen and L'Wren Scott who knew how to make clothing with their bare hands and truly connected with the artform and the human beings they served, to help celebrate the beauty of the people who admired their work. The energy that passes between a fashion patron and a designer is a real and powerful force of good in this world and the greedy pursuit of fashion fame for fame's sake has no place in human culture which requires the celebration of skilled artisans and thoughtful, intelligent patrons to survive and thrive.

In keeping with recent tradition, when the iPhone 5 launches, Apple is expected to discount the iPhone 4S to $99 and bump the iPhone 4 down to free. If this happens, the iPhone will be the best free smartphone money can buy.

"Authorities in Florida said a man accused of stealing a $1.89 Snickers bar apologized to the arresting deputy for wasting police time.
The Manatee County Sheriff`s office said a deputy responded to a 7-Eleven store Tuesday where Edward Hodapp, 42, of Bradenton was accused of stealing a large Snickers bar.
The arrest affidavit said Hodapp spoke to the deputy on the way to the jail, saying he `was really sorry for wasting your and the clerk`s time tonight ... I should have just stayed at home.`"
Betty White`s career was revitalized when she filmed a Snickers commercial, but this dude`s reputation as a loser was cemented by his theft of a Snickers bar.
This loser was in a no-win situation, if he paid $1.89 for a chocolate bar 7-Eleven would be ripping him off, but if he stole it he would be risking jail time.
I don`t know if Hodapp`s "I should have stayed at home" will resonate as strongly as Rodney King`s " Can we all just get along", but many times I felt that I should have just stayed at home.
In fact, I have a bad vibe about today, I think I`m just going to call in sick, and stay at home, munching on a couple of Snickers.

Profiting from social media
The following guide is intended to aid readers in analysing the case profiting from social media. When analysing a case, remember that there are many possible approaches and solutions and the goal is to develop your analytical and problem-solving skills rather than figure out "the one right answer."
Paula Drakes created a YouTube channel three years ago and started posting videos about how to crochet baby items as a way to share this dying craft with a wider audience in the hopes that others might be attracted to a hobby that she was passionate about.
The response to Paula's videos was very enthusiastic and she quickly began attracting a loyal following. This led her to join YouTube's Partner programme which not only allowed Paula to generate income from her videos but also access a set of tools to track her audience and manage the performance of her videos.
Achieving a personal milestone of attracting 1,000,000 viewers to her videos had planted the idea that she could turn her hobby into a career. An article she had read about other entrepreneurs who earned millions of dollars annually from their YouTube channels inspired her to seriously consider quitting her job and focusing on making home videos.
The major question in her mind, however, was did she have what it takes to become a YouTube star?
Case analysis
Q1. What factors have contributed to Paula's success?
A key contributor to Paula's success is the fact that she identified a niche audience whose needs were not being adequately addressed. Content reigns supreme on social media in terms of attracting attention and creating positive word of mouth.
The frequency of her posts therefore guaranteed that visitors to her channel would find new and interesting material on a regular basis, which increased the likelihood that they would become subscribers to her channel.
The quality of the videos that Paula uploaded not only differentiated her from other posters but made it more likely that members of her brand community would share that content with their social circles.
Paula also actively engaged with her audience and demonstrated that she was interested in the feedback that they provided.
Providing personal feedback to questions and creating videos based on viewer feedback signalled her commitment to fostering a fulfilling dialogue with her audience. This created a sense of familiarity and intimacy between the viewer and content provider which kept engagement levels high and generated repeat visits to her YouTube Channel. Connecting with her community was thus vital to increasing the size of her audience.
Another important strategy was her decision to leverage the power of other social networking sites to promote her channel and raise the visibility of her content.
By sharing links to her video on other sites such as Facebook, she increased the chance of the video getting noticed and attracting viewers to her YouTube channel. She also carefully chose descriptions and tags for her videos which made them easier to find when visitors conducted a general search on YouTube for videos on crocheting.
Paula's success can also be attributed to her use of analytics to better understand her audience and determine what videos were most likely to be well received.
Monitoring the performance of her videos allowed her to tweak the type of video being posted and adjust her marketing strategy to optimise her reach. Attracting new subscribers and viewers was vital to ensuring that she could earn sufficient revenue from her video posts.
A final factor that cannot be overlooked is the passion for her hobby that Paula demonstrated in her videos and the fact that she created an appealing online persona as the star of her home movies.
While the content of her videos could be copied by competitors it would be impossible to replace the personality that was responsible for creating a fun exciting interaction with the audience.
Paula's previous entrepreneurial experience also was an asset in preparing her for the effort required to turn this new venture into a successful business.
Q2. What strategy should Paula pursue in order to grow the business?
Paula's goal of converting her YouTube posts into a full time career may be ambitious but is certainly not unrealistic.
A number of strategic options are available to her, each of which has risks as well as potential rewards. Paula has to recognise that while she has a loyal following at the moment, fame is fleeting in the digital world and there are very low barriers to entry for rivals who wish to copy her business model. This should prompt her to select a strategy that not only maintains her existing brand community but also expands her customer base.
One option is to open a physical retail store where viewers of her videos could purchase crochet products. A major challenge posed by this approach would be managing the logistics involved in supplying a global clientele. Issues could also arise in stocking sufficient inventory to ensure an adequate supply of product in the event that local demand picks up.
At present, Paula views crocheting as a hobby but a retail store might quickly strain her ability to supply the market and divert attention from what made her successful in the first place. For these reasons this is not an attractive alternative.
Another option is to provide workshops and individual training to subscribers of her YouTube channel. While this is a natural extension of what Paula currently does online, it would require a considerable investment of time on her part and the concerns about her personal safety cannot be dismissed.
The best option appears for Paula to expand the scope of her videos to encompass other art forms which could complement the ones that she already makes. She could even leverage her previous business foray and create videos about the process of making scented candles. This is an area where she already has the knowledge and skill and would allow her to expand the business at her own pace without requiring significant additional resources.
Eventually, Paula might even be able to transition the new videos to their own YouTube channel and create a second source of revenue.
Ultimately, however, monetising social media requires a ferocious focus on creating high quality content as well as audience engagement. Once Paula overcomes the challenge of getting people to watch her videos, she would be well on her way to achieving her dream of becoming a YouTube star.

The Actual Trouble
It is slightly steady that a chain of disciplined incidents proceeds situation near the new (inexperienced) webmaster as he/she signs-up next to the archetypical redeeming hosting diagram by merely perceptive the scintillant exterior he/she can watch; afterwards he/she purchases a arena name, improved up a site, nurture a modest income, and afterwards gets vehement and remarks "Hey, this works, I should net another site". Commencing from this point the webmaster buy a new arena and inception functional on a new parcel meet for realizing that his/her hosting approach supports solely 1 angular domain; and he/she will entail to buy a altogether new hosting program for the intention of per new orbit entitle.
But chitchat astir the quantity of "pointed domains" which a web-hosting proposal can column is habitually ignored from the line-up of new webmasters. It is rather expected that it is not at all seems to be arch in the foundation but soon its want is cloth. It is among different main factors which are unheeded in the start like-minded space, bandwidth, charge etc. As discussed earlier, beginner's more habitually spell purchase a hosting idea did not even write off as the total of jagged domains.

There are respective instances wherever a somebody mourn on his/her determination of purchasing such an abundant magnitude of sphere and say to himself/herself "God!, I am ne'er going to have a obligation for 50 domains that's conscionable a waste". If a person possesses mindset like above mentioned, he/she absolutely will always imagery almost that adjacent big idea, that side by side big website that he/she is going to outward appearance. One should not hold up himself/herself by choosing a host that cannot activity all his/her dreams because agency are near to achieve the sky not for lay bare.Post ads:
