Have you ever wondered what it would take for you to begin writing effective newsletter opt-ins? Today's interview is with Sarah Geringer, an author, speaker, podcaster, artist and coach for Christian creatives. She has two solo podcasts: one called Finding Peace in God's Word, and one for adult children of divorce called Heart in a Drawer. Sarah is a wife and mother of three from Missouri. She is active on several social media platforms each day, which you can find on the front page at sarahgeringer.com.

R: Do you have a healthy newsletter opt-in list? S: I started my list back in 2016 when I launched my first self-published book. It has steadily grown over the years, and my Tea on Tuesdays are a key part of my writing platform. If you are seeking to be a traditionally published author, your email list is a must. The time you invest in it is worth your investment. To check my list's health and growth, I track my list numbers weekly. It's easier to see growth month-to-month rather than day-to-day or week-to-week. I hold it loosely and prayerfully, surrendering it to God every week while I craft a new email for subscribers. I also recently sent out a random email on Saturdays with a few quick updates, and I had the highest open rate ever. So I'm planning to send a once-a-month Saturday Sips with monthly highlights, since my subscribers responded so well. Utilizing printables for opt-ins R: What types of opt-ins do you offer? Which ones do you think work most effectively? S: When people sign up for my weekly Tea on Tuesdays email, they also get access to my Library of printables as a bonus. It has dozens of printables. Sometimes I put a printable in there only for a limited time, like a Christmas short story only during the holidays. Offering the Library as a bonus shows my subscribers there is more return for their email than just a single printable. Trial and error for newsletter opt-ins R: What are some email list opt-ins you've offered in the past that haven't worked and why? S: I have two email list drip campaigns that haven't worked as well as I expected. Drip campaigns send one email per day over a designated time frame, such as 5 days. Things have changed since I first offered these back in 2018. I think now, unless it's for a summit or event, people want the whole enchilada up front. I still have those free courses available, and I'm fine with still offering them, although people were more willing to receive drip campaigns a few years ago. Promoting your opt-in on IG R: How do you promote your opt-in on Instagram? S: Video works best. A simple video of my desktop screen to show people what's available in the Library makes it more enticing. Instagram, along with every other social media platform, boosts videos more than static posts. As I launch my next book soon, I'll be experimenting with making Reels to promote signups to my list for exclusive content. I'm hoping to get a fresh group of subscribers with the free discussion guide I'm developing based on two of my books. Weekly subscribes & unsubscribes R: How many people subscribe would you say in a week? S: The number varies because when I publish a devotion with Proverbs 31 Ministries, I get a large amount of subscribers in one day. I would guess if I average that out, I get between 30 to 50 new subscribers per week. However, I also have about 10 unsubscribes per week. I've learned to accept that as a form of rejection in the publishing world. A wise writer once told me rejection is a sign that you are a professional, since you don't get rejected if you aren't putting your stuff out there.

Jednym ze sposobów na poszerzenie możliwości naszych komputerów jest uzbrojenie ich w złącza umożliwiające podpięcie wszelakiego rodzaju peryferiów. Pierwsze komputery Apple można było rozszerzyć w zasadzie wyłącznie za pomocą złącza krawędziowego (Expansion slot). Klasyczne Macintoshe były wyposażone m.in. w port szeregowy RS-422 z gniazdem DB-9, późniejsze modele w mini-DIN na potrzeby portów ADB/LocalTalk, porty SCSI ze złączem DB-25 oraz całą gamę gniazd umożliwiających podłączenie do sieci (AAUI, RJ-45) czy podpięcie do monitora (VGA/DB-15, S-Video/mini-DIN, HDI-45, DVI). Pierwszym krokiem do ustandaryzowania połączeń z drukarkami, dyskami i innymi urządzeniami stało się wprowadzone na rynek w 1996 roku USB – Uniwersał Serial Bus, spopularyzowane w środowisku Apple przez wprowadzony na rynek dwa lata później komputer iMac G3. Po ponad dwóch dekadach doczekaliśmy się prawdziwie uniwersalnego złącza USB-C, które wspiera protokoły transmisji różnych danych oraz zasilania. Dzięki temu, w teorii, możemy podpiąć do naszych komputerów zarówno urządzenia z interfejsem USB3.x/4.0 jak i Thunderbolt 3/4 czy DisplayPort. Niestety, jak to zwykle bywa, praktyka różni się dość znacznie od teorii, co postanowiliśmy Wam przybliżyć i choć trochę uporządkować.

TiVo is a computer. To understand the history, let's hop in our trusty time machine. It's 1997. England gives Hong Kong back to China, after 156 years of British rule. The Mars Pathfinder touches down on Mars. The OJ Simpson trials are behind us, but the civil suit begins. Lonely Scottish scientists clone a sheep and name it Dolly. The first Harry Potter book is published. Titanic is released. Tony Blair is elected the Prime Minister of Great Britain. Hanson sang Mmmm Bop. And Pokemon is released. No not Pokemon Go, but Pokemon. The world was changing. The Notorious BIG was gunned down not far from where I was living at the time. Blackstreet released No Diggity. Third Eye Blind led a Semi-Charmed life and poppy grunge killed grunge grunge. And television. Holy buckets. Friends, Seinfeld, X Files, ER, Buff and the Vampire Slayer, Frasier, King of the Hill, Dharma and Greg, South Park, The Simpsons, Stargate, Home Improvement, Daria, Law and Order, Oz, Roseanne, The View, The Drew Carey Show, Family Matters, Power Rangers, JAG, Tenacious D, Lois and Clark, Spawn. Mosaic the first web browser, was released, Sergey Brin and Larry Page registered a weird domain name called Google because BackRub just seemed kinda' weird. Facebook, craigslist, and Netflix were also purchased. Bill Gates became the richest business nerd in the world. DVDs were released. The hair was big. But commercials were about to become a thing of the past. So were cords. 802.11, also known as Wi-Fi, became a standard. Microsoft bought WebTV, but something else was about to happen that would forever change the way we watched television. We'd been watching television for roughly the same way for about 70 years. Since January 13th in 1928, when the General Electric factory in Schenectady, New York broadcast as WGY Television, using call letters W2XB. That was for experiments, but they launched W2XBS a little later, now known as WNBC. They just showed a Felix the Cat spinning around on a turntable for 2 hours a day to test stuff. A lot of testing around different markets were happening and The Queen's Messenger would be the first drama broadcast on television in LA later that year. But it wasn't until 1935 that the BBC started airing regular content and the late 1930s that regular programming started in the US, spreading slowly throughout the world, with Japan being one of the last countries to get a regular broadcast in 1953. So for the next several decades a love affair began with humans and their televisions. Color came to prime time in 1972, after the price of color TVs introduced over the couple of decades before started to come down in price. Entire industries sprang up around the television, or at least migrated from newspapers and radio to television. Moon landings, football, baseball, the news, game shows. Since that 1972 introduction of color tv, the microcomputer revolution had come. Computers were getting smaller. Hard drive capacity was growing. I could stroll down to the local Fry's and buy a Western Digital, IBM Deskstar, Seagate Barracuda, an HP Kitty Hawk, or even a 10,000 RPM Cheetah. But the cheaper drives had come down enough for mass distribution. And so it was when Time Warner, a major US cable company at the time, decided to test a digital video system. They tapped Silicon Graphics alumni Jim Barton and Mike Ramsay to look into a set top box, or network appliance, or something. After initial testing, Time Warner didn't think it was quite the right time to build nation-wide. They'd spent $100 million dollars testing the service in Orlando. So the pair struck out on their own. Silicon Valley was abuzz about set top boxes, now that the web was getting big, dialup was getting easy, and PCs were pretty common fare. Steve Perlman's WebTV got bought by Microsoft for nearly half a billion dollars. Which became MSN TV and played the foundation for the Xbox hardware. I remember well that the prevailing logic of the time was that the set top box was the next big thing. The lagerts would join the Internet revolution. Grandma and Grandpa would go online. So Ramsay and Barton got a check for $3M from VC firms to further develop their idea. They founded a company called Teleworld and started running public trials of a new device that came out of their research, called TiVo. The set top box would go beyond television and be a hub for home networking, managing refrigerators, thermostats, manage your television, order a grocery delivery, and even bring the RFC for an internet coffee pot to life! But they were a little before their time on some of this. After some time, they narrowed the focus to a television receiver that could record content. The VC firms were so excited they ponied up another $300 million dollars to take the product to market. Investors even asked how long it would take the TV networks to shut them down. Disruption was afoot. When Ramsay and Barton approached Apple, Claris and Lucas Arts veteran Randy Komisar, he suggested they look at charging for a monthly service. But he, as with the rest of Silicon Valley, bought their big idea, especially since Komisar had sat on the board of WebTV. TiVo would need to raise a lot of money to ink deals with the big content providers of the time. They couldn't alienate the networks. No one knew, but the revolution in cutting the cord was on the way. Inking deals with those providers would prove to be much more expensive than building the boxes. They set about raising capital. They inked deals with Sony, Philips, Philips, and announced a release of the first TiVo at the Consumer Electronics Show in January of 1999. They'd built an outstanding executive team. They'd done their work. And on March 31st, 1999, a Blue Moon, they released the Series 1 for about $500 and with a $9.95 monthly subscription fee. The device would use a modem to download tv show listings, which would later be replaced with an Ethernet, then Wi-Fi option. The Series1, like Apple devices at the time, would sport a PowerPC processor. Although this one was a 403GCX that only clocked in at 54 MHz - but cheap enough for an embedded system like this. It also came with 32 MB of RaM, a 13 to 60 gig IDE/ATA drive, and would convert analog signal into MPEG-2, storing from 14 to 60 hours of television programming. Back then, you could use the RCA cables or S-Video. They would go public later that year, raising 88 million dollars and nearly doubling in value overnight. By 2000 TiVo was in 150,000 homes and burning through cash far faster than they were making it. It was a huge idea and if big ideas take time to percolate, huge ideas take a lot of time. And a lot of lawsuits. In order to support the new hoarder mentality they were creating, The Series2 would come along in 2002 and would come with up to a 250 gig drive, USB ports, CPUs from 166 to 266 MHz, from 32 to 64 megs of RAM, and the MPEG encoder got moved off to the Broadcom BCM704x chips. In 2006, the Series 3 would introduce HD support, add HDMI, 10/100 Ethernet, and support drives of 2 terabytes with 128 megs of RAM. Ramsay left the company in 2007 to go work at Venture Partners. Barton, the CTO, would leave in 2012. Their big idea had been realized. They weren't needed any more. Ramsay and Barton would found streaming service Qplay, but that wouldn't make it over two years. By then, TiVo had become a verb. Series4 brought us to over a thousand hours of television and supported bluetooth, custom apps, and sport a Broadcom 400 MHZ dual core chip. But it was 2010. Popular DVD subscription service Netflix had been streaming and now had an app that could run on the Series 4. So did Rhapsody, Hulu, and YouTube. The race was on for streaming content. TiVo was still aiming for bigger, faster, cheaper set top boxes. But people were consuming content differently. TiVo gave apps, but Apple TV, Roku, Amazon, and other vendors were now in the same market for a fraction of the cost and without a subscription. By 2016 TiVo was acquired by Rovi for 1.1 Billion dollars and as is often the case in these kinds of scenarios seems listless. Direction… Unknown. After such a disruptive start, I can't imagine any innovation will ever recapture that spirit from the turn of the millennia. And so in December of 2019 (the month I'm recording this episode), after months trying to split TiVo into two companies so they could be sold separately TiVo scrapped that idea and merged with Xperi. I find that we don't talk about Tivo much any more. That doesn't mean they've gone anywhere, just that the model has shifted over the years. According to TechCrunch “TiVo CEO David Shull noted also that Xperi's annual licensing business includes over 100 million connected TV units, and relationships with content providers, CE manufacturers, and automotive OEMs, which now benefit from TiVo's technology.” TiVo was a true disruptor. Along with Virtual CEO Randy Komisar, they sold Silicon Valley on Monthly Recurring Revenue as a key performance indicator. They survived the .com bubble and even thrived in it. They made television interactive. They didn't cut our cords, but they expanded our minds so we could cut them. They introduced the idea of responsibly selling customer data as a revenue stream to help keep those fees in check. And in so doing, they let manufacturers micro market goods and services. They revolutionized the way we consume content. Something we should all be thankful for. So next time you're binging a show from one of your favorite providers, just think about the fact that you might have to spend time with your family or friends if it weren't for TiVo. You owe them a huge thanks.

On the show this week @erfon / @bst3r / @lkahney Intro: A young Jony Ive on the 20th Anniversary Mac https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xeUs8sDcYO8 ‘iPhone Edition’ could have rear-facing Touch ID sensor http://www.cultofmac.com/473949/473949/ A (somewhat sketchy) new report claims that the tenth anniversary iPhone, commonly referred to as the iPhone 8, will instead by called the iPhone Edition. In addition, it suggests that the major form factor redesign that’s been reported on may turn out to be less drastic than some are imagining — although changes will include features like a rear-mounted Touch ID sensor. According to the report, which is accompanied by renders showing the design, the iPhone Edition won’t feature a Touch ID sensor embedded beneath the display, but rather a fingerprint scanner on the rear of the device. It also won’t come with the glass back plate, but will instead stick to having a metal back plate as the result of glass’ tendency to shatter when dropped Does Apple trademark filing mean PowerBook is coming back? http://www.cultofmac.com/473989/apple-trademark-filing-mean-powerbook-coming-back/ A couple of news outlets are flipping their lid over the news that Apple has filed a new worldwide trademark for the word “PowerBook,” the name of Apple’s pre-MacBook laptop series, which ran from 1991 until 2006. In fact, a lot of Apple’s trademarks are about stopping its assets falling into other company’s hands — as happened when rival watchmaker Swatch decided to trademark Steve Jobs’ iconic “One more thing” catchphrase, shortly after Apple began competing with it in the watch business. Swiss watchmaker hits back at Apple by trademarking ‘One more thing’ http://www.cultofmac.com/385873/swiss-watchmaker-hits-back-at-apple-by-trademarking-one-more-thing/ This isn’t the first time Apple has had people try to pilfer its well-known “One more thing” phrase. At the launch of Apple ripoff artist Xiaomi’ Mi 4 smartphone, CEO Lei Jun “borrowed” Apple’s tagline while also wearing a black top and blue jeans. The trademark was registered in Germany in May, but was granted in 2015. It was originally a quotation by Jobs of Peter Falk’s Columbo character “Stay hungry, stay foolish” - Whole Earth Catalog, a magazine Steve Jobs loved. 20th Anniversary Mac https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twentieth_Anniversary_Macintosh one of the first Macs to be designed by Jony Ive, and it paved the way for the vertical design of computer that forms today's iMacIt looked like a movie prop. The beautiful machine every 90s CEO would covet. April 1, 1996 marked 20 years since the day that Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Ronald Wayne came together to form Apple Computer, and they decided to release the 20th Anniversary Mac to celebrate this momentous occasion. It featured a a TV/FM tuner, an S-Video input card, and a custom-made Bose sound system including two "Jewel” speakers, and a subwoofer built into the externally located power supply "base unit”. Upon unveiling, the TAM was predicted to cost US$9,000, which would include a direct-to-door concierge delivery service. At release the price was reduced to $7,499. Problem was, it similar performance as the PowerMac 6500, a machine costing just $2,999. In the middle of its sales' lifespan Apple dropped the price further to around US$3,500, and finally upon discontinuation in March 1998 the price was set to US$1,995. Customers who paid full price for the TAM, and then complained to Apple when the price was so drastically cut, were offered a free high-end Powerbook as compensation. TimeBand It's hard to imagine, but there was actually a time when the Apple freely shared its concepts with the world. In 1991, under the leadership of John Scully, Apple shared a bunch of design concepts with a Japanese magazine called Axis. One of the strange products included in the spread was a wearable wrist computer called TimeBand. Like an iPad mini living on your wrist!

Spécial Halloween avec le comédien François-Étienne Paré! Des lunettes pour visionner vos vidéos, une roche musicale, un robot signé Lego, un lapin qui vous informe, un gadget d'espion... et une brosse à dents! Top branché, 1re partie Ah, l'Halloween. C'est le bon temps pour repasser ses vieux classiques... L'Opéra de la terreur, Godzilla et les autres. Pour ceux qui ont numérisé leur collection de films, le baladeur iPod Vidéo permet de les regarder. Pour ne pas se ruiner la vue avec le petit écran de l'iPod, les nouvelles lunettes iWear pour iPod, de la société Icuiti, sont recommandées. Les IWear sont des lunettes qu'on connecte à son iPod Vidéo et qu'on enfile. Bon, c'est sûr que ça donne des airs de cyborg sorti tout droit de Star Trek. Mais avec les deux minuscules écrans à cristaux liquides logés au fond de l'appareil, on a l'impression de regarder un film comme sur un téléviseur de salon. Top branché, 2e partie Pour regarder des vidéos tirés du iPod Vidéo directement dans sa télévision, on peut toujours acheter de Apple l'ensemble de connexions AV conçu à cet effet. Mais il suffit de fouiller un peu pour découvrir que certains accessoires de marque différente font la même chose pour moins cher. C'est le cas du TuneCommand AV, de la marque Belkin. Le TuneCommand AV est un socle sur lequel se connecte le Ipod Vidéo et qui se branche à sa télévision. Une sortie de type RCA (à trois mèches) est nécessaire, mais on peut aussi opter pour la sortie S-Video. Le signal vidéo est de meilleure qualité. Puisque le socle tire son alimentation d'une fiche électrique murale, il recharge le Ipod du même coup. Pour faciliter l'opération du IPod Video à partir de son sofa, Belkin inclut dans la boîte une petite télécommande qui, malheureusement, n'offre pas beaucoup de fonctions. En plus, les menus affichés à l'écran du Ipod sont pas reproduits à l'écran du téléviseur. En ce qui concerne l'écran, l'image est d'assez bonne qualité. On est loin de la HD, même si, pour les photos, on peut en tirer un résultat tout à fait acceptable. C'est beau mais c'est quoi? Est-ce le méchant du film Terminator 3? Un cyborg futuriste venu nous asservir? Non! C'est le nouveau jouet de Lego : le NXT Mindstorm! La gamme Mindstorms repose sur le module programmable NXT. Il permet aux jeunes qui sont assez calés dans le domaine de construire un robot à l'intelligence artificielle plutôt développée. Le bloc NXT est un petit ordinateur avec affichage sur lequel se connecte un nombre impressionnant de capteurs : un pour le toucher, un pour le bruit, un pour les distances, un pour la lumière, etc. Attrape techno En ce moment, toute sorte de microbes torturent les pauvres dents et gencives de Bernard. Ce n'est pas compliqué, à ce rythme-là, il ne lui restera plus de dents pour faire la conclusion de l'émission! Heureusement, il sait comment combattre cette vilaine carie. Oral-B vient de sortir l'une des premières brosses à dents intelligentes, la Triumph. Grâce à un indicateur au bas de l'appareil, on peut savoir un tas de trucs à propos de notre brossage. Par exemple, la brosse chronomètre le brossage pour s'assurer que ça fait deux minutes, le temps minimal recommandé par les dentistes. Elle ajuste aussi l'intensité du brossage selon le type de brossage que l'on recherche, un simple nettoyage ou un massage si vous voulez vraiment chouchouter vos dents! De plus, la Triumph permet aussi de blanchir vos dents avec une tête que l'on installe. Et elle affiche en tout temps l'état de la pile de la brosse à dents afin d'éviter de manquer de jus en pleine action!
