Distribution

One of the biggest challenges for a celebrity is keeping their fans coming back for more. With content changing less frequently than a regular news site, fans are less inclined to visit an entertainer’s site on a regular basis. By partnering with American Superstar, you will have access to several tools to address these issues.

In addition, since all ASN sites are connected, you will be able to tap into a massive audience and get your content discovered by people visiting sites throughout our network.

Lastly, as an ASN member, your content will automatically be included in Google News, allowing entertainment enthusiasts to discover your latest updates through the world’s largest distribution channel

Revenue

When putting together a dresses online ad buy, marketers look to the biggest celebrity properties in order to generate the reach they desire. This presents a challenge for individual talent sites since marketers simply can’t spend time contacting smaller sites one-by-one in order to gain the necessary reach. Not to mention, most talent sites do not adhere to the Universal Ad Package Compliance (UAP) adopted by the Internet Advertising Bureau (IAB). Sites that are UAP compliant must have at least one of the four ad UAP sizes (728×90, 300×250, 160×600 and 180×150), thus allowing advertisers the ability to reach the majority of an entertainer’s audience.

As an ASN member, your site will be UAP compliant, and you will have the option of selling your own sponsorships. You can also accept or reject sponsorship opportunities through American Superstar, which provides marketers with a one-stop shop to purchase advertising through our network of official sites. As a member, you will now be able to maximize the potential of your online brand and generate new revenue that you otherwise wouldn’t be a part of.

Websites often fail to produce the desired results. This is because visitors find them too hard to understand or navigate. So, do you want to make your Web site visitor friendly as it should be? Here are some practical tips to check and to avoid these problems:

1. Help to find

Is your site search engine friendly? Is your website easy to locate? Do you promote it everywhere, (i.e. business cards, invoices, envelopes, etc.)? Do you promote the benefits of visiting? Is your site address easy to remember and easy to type? Is it complicated by repeated letters, like “theentity?” Are there numbers, which can cause confusion, like “1shopping” or “oneshopping?” Does your url contain easily misspelled words?

2. Help to engage

Make it easy for visitors to understand why they should read on. You have only a few seconds to persuade visitors to begin reading your message. Let your home page provide an obvious “why buy from us?” benefit so that the visitors may not leave your site. Time-consuming animations, vapid “welcoming” statements, and “brag and boast” claims, usually turn visitors away. Home pages should begin with headline that you are familiar with your visitor’s problems and can help them achieve their goals.

3. Help to decide

The best web sites have a clear and immediately identifiable focus and sequence. Studies have shown that, if you offer grocery store visitors an opportunity to sample 6 jams, 30% of customers will eventually buy one. But, if you offer 16 samples, response drops to 3%! Many home pages, however, offer so many navigation options that visitors are paralyzed and choose to leave. So make it easy for visitors to decide what to read next.

4. Help to return back

Unless you obtain your visitor’s e-mail address and permission to contact them in the future, you’ll probably never see them again! Many web sites offer visitors an opportunity to sign-up for their e-mail newsletter, however, only a few offer a meaningful incentive to sign-up. Without an incentive, without showing or describing the benefits of registering, the visitors will not sign up. Most e-mail in-boxes are already filled with unread newsletters! Make it easy for visitors to register for your e-mail newsletter, so you can invite them to return back.

5. Help to read easily

Easy reading is more critical onscreen than in print. Problems that might be overlooked on paper are critical online.

* Long lines of text are difficult to read and make it easy for visitors to lose their place at the end of each line. Limit line length to 2/3′ds the width of the screen.
* Keep sentences and paragraphs short, and add extra space between paragraphs.
* Frequent subheads break body copy into short, bite-sized chunks. Each subhead “advertises” the following text and provides an additional point for visitors to begin reading your message. So make your message easy to read.

6. Help to print

Links to “printer friendly pages,” correct line and page breaks add perceived value to your message and make it easier to share and read your message offline. But you don’t need to offer a printer-friendly link of every page, just key articles or important products or upcoming events. So make it is easier for visitors to print important articles and descriptions.

7. Help to share

An “E-mail this to a friend or co-worker” link can expose your message to others who may join your opt-in e-mail list. So make it easier for visitors to pass-along important articles to others.

8. Help to contact you

Avoid a single “contact us” link that loads the visitor’s e-mail program only. Give visitors multiple chances to call, fax, or mail a letter! Thus make it easier for visitors to contact you. Include full contact information on every page, i.e. phone, fax, e-mail, and postal address.

Ever consider a professional-grade drawing tool on a mobile platform? Well now there’s an app for that thanks to Autodesk, which released a mobile version of its SketchBook Pro painting and drawing software for the Apple iPhone and iTouch devices.

The SketchBook Mobile App, available for $2.99 from the Apple App Store, uses the same drawing engine as the professional version of the product, which is aimed at everyone from graphic designers and artists to industrial designers and others involved in the product development process. Autodesk says the mobile drawing tool fits into its digital prototyping story by providing an on-the-fly mechanism for designers and engineers to communicate concepts and freeform ideas or to troubleshoot problems using an environment they live in on a daily basis.

While not a full-fledged CAD or 2-D/3-D design tool, SketchBook Mobile can capture those raw ideas and sketches typically done on paper or napkins and incorporate them into the digital design process. “You can get an idea out of your head faster with a quick doodle than firing up grocery bags or modeling something from scratch,” says Chris Cheung, SketchBook product manager at Autodesk. “It fits into that portion of design before you get into CAD or maybe you’re in between projects and have an idea.”

Today, many of those freeform sketches get lost or never get incorporated into the formal design process. SketchBook Mobile’s ability to do so can be a game changer when it comes to the overall design collaboration process, Cheung maintains. “Today, you don’t see a lot of people taking the time to scan in a sketch they did,” he explains. “The mere fact that early ideas are digital — that someone could do a quick doodle of a bracket or an idea for a layout — and send that out digitally as an e-mail in seconds after they had the thought is game changing. It’s the equivalent of the napkin sketch getting consumed into the digital process in a way that’s different than how it is today.”

Just as the desktop version, SketchBook Mobile delivers a combination of digital pencils, pens, markers and airbrushes in addition to a gesture-based user interface. The software comes with 25 preset brushes and customizable brush settings along with customizable color swatches and a color wheel with RGB sliders to deliver a sophisticated palette.

Autodesk opted to introduce the software for the Apple mobile products because of the broad market opportunity. However, Cheung wouldn’t rule out introducing versions for other devices and said there could be opportunity for additional Autodesk functionality on a mobile platform — a scenario that didn’t seem to exist even as early as year ago. “As a new platform, these handhelds are revealing a lot of potential,” he says. “It seems like anything is possible.”

Bosch Rexroth demonstrated electromechanical cylinders and ball rails yesterday that could dramatically cut the energy consumption of motion control systems.

The new products, introduced at the Design & Manufacturing Midwest Show, are part of a company initiative targeting energy efficiency. They employ a combination of technologies – including sealing, reusable shopping bags, energy recovery and energy-on-demand - that enable drives and control systems to make significant efficiency gains.

A key feature among the new energy-efficient products is a low-friction sealing technology that’s employed on some of Bosch Rexroth’s ball rails. The seals, which reside between the runner block and the rail of the company’s Size 25 ball rail systems, are said to offer significant energy consumption advantages.

“It’s a small change on one product, but it could make a really big difference if it’s implemented across the board by everyone,” said Kevin Gingerich, director of marketing services for Bosch Rexroth’s Linear Motion and Assembly Technologies. “If all rail and block systems sold to manufacturers in one year were outfitted with these low-friction seals, you could save enough energy to power a city of about 250,000 people.”

Gingerich said that Rexroth’s eLine Profiled Rail systems also save energy by using aluminum, instead of steel, on prescribed components within the design. The aluminum enables the system to cut energy consumption because the driven components are lighter.

“By ‘light-weighting’ the components inside the modules, you can achieve solid performance and save energy at the same time,” Gingerich said.

The company also demonstrated an electromechanical cylinder that illustrates the energy-on-demand concept. Known as EMC, the cylinder burns no energy when not in use and can replace hydraulic or pneumatic systems in applications requiring positioning accuracy and repeatability.

“It has an advantage over pneumatic and hydraulic systems in that it’s electrical,” Gingerich said. “You’re not constantly applying power; it uses power only when it’s moving.

Known as 4EE (for Energy Efficiency), Bosch Rexroth’s new initiative focuses on more sustainable manufacturing systems.
