Hi everyone, thanks for joining us today for our third webinar for this year's Giving Day for Apes, all about price structure and strategy. We're going to go ahead and get started. So just as a quick note, this webinar is being recorded and it'll be posted to the Giving Day for Apes Asset Library after we've completed it and the slides will also be available for viewing. So welcome. My name is Sarah. I am a project manager that helps out with Giving Day for Apes with a platform provider, might be cause. We're very excited to be partnering with Giving Day for Apes again this year in their 10th anniversary year. So pass it over to Jackie to say hello. Thank you Sarah and thanks everyone. Well, this is our third webinar and we just go to the next slide. And this is going to be about prizes or a lot of it's going to be about prizes. So it's always a fun webinar to talk about the support we have and the kinds of prizes that our participants can win during early giving and leading up to Giving Day for Apes. So let's go on and talk about prizes. This year we have a total of $64,500 in prizes. We have some great event sponsors this year. Of course Art Disfoundation that created this event 10 years ago. And we have some new sponsors this year. So we just want to thank them all for giving us the opportunity to offer these prizes and also just for their support of our mission and the goal of Giving Day for Apes. So we'll start with our first prize. Now we kind of broken these down into prizes that you can win based on activity and early giving and prizes that are going to be awarded on the day itself. And you see we have a little light bulb up in the corner there so some of these are prizes where you might want to think about strategy and that's where we put the light bulb. Some of them are very random prizes where there's not much you can do to prepare. You just might win or not. And so we just want to point that out. The first prize I want to talk about is our storytelling prize. And we talked about this prize in a lot of detail in our last webinar so I won't go into detail again. This is a prize that organizations have to ask to be considered for. You won't automatically be entered. There is a submission link on the prizes page of the Giving Day website. And this year it's a little different from previous years because we're not just looking at your mighty post page, but we're asking you to submit some piece of campaign material as well. Whether it be a link to a video on YouTube that you've created for the event or some graphics that you're posting on social media, or some text of storytelling that you're using in an email or in a social media message. So it's something that you have to submit by September 19. So obviously it's going to be some activity and early giving that you'll have to do if you want to be ready to submit this prize. This prize for consideration. We have the guidelines for this prize on the prize page of the Giving Day website. We have it in both English and Indonesian. There are links to download that. And again, there is now a link there so you can submit your organization for consideration. So let's move on because we have a couple of other prizes that are based on early giving activity. Now early giving begins on September 11. And we've done golden ticket prizes every year, but this is the first year that we are going to be awarding some golden tickets based on early giving activity. There'll be four of those prizes. $250 each. And again, you see the little light bulb. So there's a strategy here. You basically have to start your fundraising in early giving. And the period for consideration is the whole early giving period. So starting September 11 and going up to midnight, October 3. All of those online donations are chances to win. And we always describe golden tickets as being something like every time someone makes an online donation to your organization. The name is being thrown in and out. The more donations you get, the more times your name is thrown in and more chances that your name will be bolted in those golden tickets. And those tickets will be awarded right before we go live, where those names will be drawn. The amount of the donation doesn't matter. It can be as little as $5. That's the minimum online donation. There's a limit of how many early giving golden tickets one organization can win. You know, below we wrote a maximum of two. So think about some activity in early giving, even if you're not going to really be engaging in campaign to get to giving day or closer to giving day. If you just get a few donations in during that period starting September 11, you'll have chances to win these tickets. And let's go on to the next one. Okay, the kickoff prizes. This is not a new prize, but it is one that requires some strategy also. This is also based on early giving activity and two prizes will be given. The smaller budget organization wants the larger budget organization. And it's based on how much activity you've gotten during the early giving period. The most unique donors who have donated online. You don't have to have raised the most money in early giving don't have to be big donations that can be as little as $5. How many different people you have engaged. You're not going to be able to see where you are on that on that kind of leaderboard during early giving. But these might be opportunities for you to do campaigns we often see like, you know, give $5 today, can you just give up the price of a cup of coffee today and just generate those small donations leading up to giving day. The prizes are $300 each. I just wanted to ask you, Sarah, if you have any other ideas on strategy for early giving, since these are the early giving prizes. Yeah, I would say start planning your messaging for early giving so early giving obviously hasn't started yet so you have plenty of time to start kind of creating emails. You have media posts and everything so that you don't feel like you have as much of a lift during early giving. We always talk about doing as much as you can prior to your asks to try to set it up so what are you source of media posts plan for early giving what are your, you know, what images do you need to collect to have a compelling story for like emails that are going out and stuff like that. If you are going to try to work on securing an early giving prize. Start planning now because planning ahead is definitely going to be easier than just deciding, you know, when early giving starts to try to, you know, secure prizes. Okay, so let's go on to the prizes that are going to be given away on giving day itself. And the first of these are milestone prizes. There's no little light bulb here because there's no real strategy this is just a matter of chance and luck. Every donation that comes in online, it comes in order when we open early giving the first donation that comes in is donation one. There will be a donation 2000, there will be a prize to whoever receives that of $200 and then donation 2500 and donation 3000. Again, it doesn't matter what size the donation is it doesn't matter if this is a unique donor it's just a number of the donation. This year is really to just get some online donations, we don't know where in the event these are going to happen. So it may be your organization it may not, but we will announce those whenever they happen. So next we go on to another one where there's no strategy, this is our 10th giving day, and we are celebrating by giving away some prizes. We've created this 10 at 10 price category, where $100 prices are going to be given out at 10am Eastern $100 prices given at 10pm Eastern. They're not even based on donations received these are not golden tickets. These are just random polls of names of participants that might be a puzzle handle. So if you were registered participant, you're going to have a chance to win these prizes. We're going to limit them to two per organization so that we can spread the luck around and everyone can participate in celebrating our 10th giving day. Okay, now golden tickets. These are a matter of strategy and we're really excited that we have 18 golden tickets to give away in this giving day. They are all worth $500. And these are the tickets that during designated hours, you have to receive at least one online donation for a chance to win. There is now a 24 hour price schedule posted on the prizes page of giving day, you can download that and that lists every prize happening in a certain hour. The tickets are separated into categories so make sure you know which ones you qualify for. We have three general golden tickets that every participant has a chance to win. There are three that are restricted to the smaller budget organizations that is the budgets of $500,000 and under as indicated on your registration forms. And then we have region restricted golden tickets for for those on the Africa leaderboard for for those on the Asia leaderboard for for those on the North America leaderboard. So there are lots of chances to win. And just make sure to look at the schedule and look at the times for the tickets that your organization is eligible to win depending where you're located and depending on your budget. Again, the rules on this if there is a ticket time here's the example I gave seven to eight a.m. That means your organization has to receive at least one online donation during that hour, and then the winner will be announced right after the end of the hour. It doesn't matter how much the donation is it can be a $5 donation. So some limits on one general golden ticket per organization three total golden tickets. So as a matter of strategy here, these might be ours where if you have a matching grant matching fund, but you might want to use those to kind of generate more interest and activity during that hour. So the first that you might want to make sure that you publicize on your social media, put up a schedule or tell your peer to peer fund measures to just generate activity during that hour. And Sarah, did you want to add anything golden ticket strategy. Yeah, golden ticket strategy. While it is random the more donations obviously that you get the better chances you have to be pulled. I would say just making clear calls to your supporters that you have a chance to win the golden ticket and this is the hour. Donors can give multiple times in the hour like Jackie was saying, so they don't have to give just $5 they can give, you know, $5 10 times if they wanted to do that. So those are going to all the chances to enter so you can kind of come up with a strategy as far as breaking if you have a donor who wants to give in a larger amount. You could even send out emails letting them know like if you want to give $50 consider giving you know $5 10 times. So there are a couple different kind of ways that you can get creative to try to get more tickets in the hat so to speak. You know, and another thing you might consider with social media for the golden tickets we all know how difficult it is to get our Facebook and Instagram posts distributed to audiences, but use stories using Facebook and Instagram stories can get a more immediate response they can reach more people immediately with more the sense of urgency to just kind of let them know right now right now is the time that you can help us to maybe win $500. Okay, so we're going on to our leaderboards. And these are the same leaderboards that we've had just about every year. We have most dollars raised leaderboards for each region with four winners for each. So a lot of opportunities to win here. And for all of the leaderboards. And of course this only is going to be counting online donations on the mighty cross platform. And it will include all donations received from the time early giving opens on September 11. For the most dollar raised leaderboard it's not going to be just donations to your organization page but also to peer to peer fund users that are supporting organization so all of those go into the most dollars raised. Those are the goals for your organization. So as a matter of strategy on this. Obviously, if you start an early giving you have more time to kind of build that leaderboard total. So you may not want to rely on just giving day for apes itself. You may not want to try to win a leaderboard. You might want to start early, early start getting the message out that you are participating in giving day for apes this year. Because leaderboard totals are based on the performance throughout the event and early giving. It doesn't really matter what times that you might use matching grants, but obviously a matching grants will help build your totals. Anything else you want to add on this sir. Yeah I was thinking about matching grants as well so matching grants, and we have some slides on that towards the end of the presentation. But they can really fuel the excitement during the giving period. So obviously it doesn't matter what time because it's encompassing the whole of early giving through the event. But matching grants definitely make people excited to give, and they create just momentum. So if you want to consider as part of strategy this year maybe you haven't done a matching grant try to get maybe one or two. And then hopefully all of you know, potentially also your the grantor once the matches met, if they submit their grant their match as an online gift that would also be counted towards your board. An exciting thing about the leaderboards are they are visible once giving day starts the giving day website changes and all the leaderboards are live and they change in real time. So you can watch how close you are to that next place so if you're in second and just, you need a little help to get to first or you're in fifth and you just want to reach up so you can get the fourth place price which whichever. These are messages that you can send to your supporters and send those in your Instagram stories or, or email say we're so close, you just help us get to the next level, and your supporters can kind of see in real time where you are and how, how much more you need to get to that next step. So just completing our leaderboards we have the most unique donors leaderboard again and then there are three places on this one. The same rules there only online donations. This will include the count from September 11. This isn't necessarily the organizations that have raised the most money. Again, it's engaging the most different people. So, let's move on to the next one. Can I also mention something on this one Jackie? Of course. So one thing for strategy for unique donors. It's listed here third bullet down, but this includes donors who make donations to peer to peer fundraisers. So peer to peer fundraising is a really, really wonderful way to try to get more unique donors. So obviously unique donors are in one person. So if one person makes you know three gifts during the day they're still only going to count as one person. But to reach more people, peer to peer fundraising is going to open up a whole new network to you that you might not otherwise have access to. So that's a really good plan is to try to get whoever you can think of, you know, staff volunteers sponsors to try to create peer to peer pages to try to reach people who you might not necessarily be able to connect with during the event. Great point. In the leaderboards we are again going to have a leaderboard for peer to peer fundraisers with four prizes on it. And the same rules will apply as only online donations this will include cumulative totals from the time that early giving opens on September 11. And I just put a note here that we do have rules and information about peer to peer fundraisers in the participant toolkit and I think in our general rules as well. And specifically that organizations are not to be using their own resources to promote or encourage donations to peer to peer pages, peer to peer is really separate individuals or groups of individuals reaching their contacts. And that means that your organization during the early giving and giving day period should not be putting up links to your peer to peer fundraisers or calling them out by name and social media. Of course you can contact them privately and thank them for their support. And of course once the event is over you can recognize them by name, but just please do not promote them keep them separate from your organizations fundraising. Okay. So next we move on to the power hours we have had these for many years and so this really not much different these are $2,500 each. There are assigned start and end times for each power hour. Each region has to power our competitions for most dollars raised in that hour and most unique donors in that hour. And for, you know, obviously it is just based on activity that is happening in that hour it's not necessarily who has raised the most funds overall. It's just who was at the best performance in that hour. And so just to point out on the most unique donors power hour, if you've had a donor already make a donation, they can come back in that hour just to give another $5 and be counted as a unique donor in that hour. They're not recounted as a unique donor overall, but for this hour they are.  This is one where you really want to focus activity and you're giving during this hour. So if you know donors, for example, you know, larger to larger dollar donors who say, Oh, I'm going to come in during giving day and give you $1,000 or $5,000, whatever you're lucky to have. You might want to let them know that this would be a great hour to do it during the most dollars raised our during the most unique donors power hour. That might be where you have a strategy where you want to send messages to your supporters, please come back and just give us $5 during this hour, just at least $5. These are great opportunities to use matching grants as well. And Sarah anything else you want to add to that. Yeah, I was going to highlight matching grants as well. Really good idea to try to schedule a match during one of these hours, because it's going to also fuel momentum, as far as encouraging donors to give it a specific time. Especially if you know you have a match, and it's it didn't just you know pop up during the day matches are something that you can bring awareness to throughout like emails communication social media. Hey, during this day, this hour we have a match for matching one to one maybe or whatever your match looks like. So that's something to keep in mind. There was one other thought that I had. Oh yes. So, most unique donors. Again, that's going to also reflect peer to peer pages. So, if you do have peer to peer supporters, you should think about having a communication plan in place with them, as far as when it would be a great time for them to really rally their own supporters on their own fundraising so you could say you know during this hour we have a most unique donors prize. We're trying to rally so reach out to your networks and do your thing you know reach out to family share your links. Because sometimes you know peer to peer fundraising. It can be overwhelming for some people. So just having you know an email plan or a schedule in place that people can look to to really know how to support your organization is going to be really helpful. Yeah. Yeah, and just going back to power hours last year for the first time we had these many leader boards to follow power our activity to see who were the top who are the leaders in it and I think we're going to be doing that again. So you're going to be able to see in real time where you are on that power hour and again, if you see you're real close to getting that first place but you're not quite there. That can be a message to send out with some urgency text messages or Facebook or Instagram stories or however you can reach your supporters with some versions that. All right. So we're bringing back an old favorite we haven't done in a couple of years this is the end of the night prize and I realized that. Depending where you are it's not necessarily the end of the night but it is the end of the event. So the very last online donation of the event that comes in and is received before the clock strikes midnight. The organization is going to win a $400 prize. The amount of the donation doesn't matter it doesn't matter if it's from someone who's already donated or unique donor, it's just the last donation that is registered for this event before it shuts down. And there's no real strategy here we have a little label but really it's just encouraging your donors to come back before the end and say help us win this one last prize. Close to midnight. It was exciting when we did this we haven't done I think in the past two years, but it is exciting to see all this last minute activity. Because it usually results also in some last minute shifting on the lead awards to this activity comes in. So just encourage people to come back right before midnight and five more dollars might help you win $400 prize. Okay, we need to talk about this one this is a new prize that we have created this is the most improved prize. There will be a $300 prize for each region. To be eligible organizations must have participated in last year's giving day for apes. And the prize is going to be look, looking at how many more unique donors your organization has received this year versus last year. So it doesn't necessarily mean you've raised the most money. It may not be a lot of new donors, you know, a lot more donors this year than last year it's just cool it's gotten had shown the most improvement. We're excited to see how this prize does this is our first time doing it. We created an information sheet, a listing of the number of online unique donors all the organizations had in 2022 is at the link on this slide and will publicize this as well. So you'll be able to see what your number was last year. And then you can look at the most unique donors leader board as it is live for this year's event and see where you are, and how many more unique donors that you've had. You know, again, the strategy is just engaging as many people as possible. These are numbers of donors so it doesn't mean they have to make large donations they can just be $5 donations, but it's engaging more people this year. We noted that will announce this October 4 just to give us a little time to confirm everything. But we hope that we that this gives some incentive to just really go up there and get more more people engaged to win that $300 prize. Anything else on this one because it is new. Yeah, so I'm very excited about this one, because essentially organizations, you are competing against yourself from last year. So it's not so much looking at, you know, what other organizations raised last year you're really just trying to out do yourself. And so that's kind of what we're looking at is ours, you know, comparing performance. So, yeah, I'm very excited to see how it does. All right. So just in summary on this. So where do prizes fit into your campaign. There's a lot of prizes and those may seem overwhelming. Go to the prize page on the giving day site it breaks it all down and again, there's a 24 hour schedule that you can download so you can really just focus on, okay, where are my power hours, where are the golden tickets I'm eligible to win. If you want to get comfortable with that, let us know if you have any questions about it. But not everyone is going to be able to win every prize. And you can really decide your strategy of what you want to reach for if you really don't think your organization is going to win a leaderboard prize focus on golden tickets focus on getting some matching grants focus on building your unique donors. Random prizes this year we've tried to build more opportunities for organizations of every size to win something. So, so do you want to kind of go through the rest of the slide. Yeah. So you said the rest of the slide. So like I was saying, considering which prizes from the list are prizes that you are going to try to rally your supporters to help you win. It's going to be really helpful.  What kind of goals do you have for your campaign. Are you trying to raise obviously a certain dollar amount or a certain unique donor count or even just new donors. So use the prizes as talking points for your campaign and make sure they align with the goals and the milestones that you're trying to reach because those coinciding together just makes really powerful call to actions within emails, social media posts, or even a newsletter that you send out within, you know, August or September just letting people know. In general, here's the prizes we're trying to win. Here's how they fit into our campaign and here's the goals we have for the event. And within that you can then also create a timeline. As far as best times for your supporters to donate or share links to your pages or rally their own peer to peer supporters. Having a clear plan in place will make everybody feel much more in line and understanding of like when they can best support you. So come up with that timeline. Obviously the website with all the prizes highlight, you know, the ones that you are going to focus on. And then just reminders to supporters when the time to give is actually happening so let them know in a social media post with them know on Facebook, add the direct link to your organization page or to your donation button to make it super easy for somebody to give right away, right when you need them to. And just giving everyone you know the links that they need to be able to support or share your campaign to support when you need them to. And overall, giving these are really just in the prizes themselves, the wonderful sponsors who donate these prizes. It's really a chance for you to just generate interest and build momentum for your campaign and give you talking points.  So all of these, even if you don't win anything, you've at the end of the day you've won, you know, supporters, you've won new donors, you won't you know generated more interest and hopefully, you know you continue those relationships with the donors outside of the community so that you can continue, you know, bringing in donors and supporting dollars for the work that you do throughout the year. So I just wanted to add we just this morning added a new document to the participant toolkit on the giving their website. It's a little planning guide worksheet that if you're not sure what where to start this year. You can do but you just want to put it all down in one place. It's a worksheet to kind of take you through your goals as Sarah said you might not win a prize. But there are other ways to be successful depending on what goals are realistic and what's going to be helpful for you. That could be increasing your donors getting your first matching grant, retaining donors from last year. So it takes you through that kind of thinking through who you can ask to help your campaign in different ways, and how you're going to put your story together and the kinds of images and texts that you want to use. So it's available to download. Take a look at it and hopefully it will be something that's helpful. So now I'm going to turn it over to Sarah to talk about matching grants. Thank you. Two fundraising tools that we're really going to highlight in this webinar are matching grants in detail and peer to peer fundraising. And how really to engage and activate your ambassadors so those are your supporters so we'll start with matching grants. So, securing a matching grant. It's a really great tool like we were saying throughout the prize conversation. It's a way to boost excitement and encourage donations, especially at a specific time or hours so this is going to be ideal. I say to have at any point during the event, but a really great idea is to have it during say a power hour when you need to try to rack up all those dollars or more donors. So to get started with a match. This is something that you are going to secure for your own organization.  I'll say a donor who gives you know in a large amount like 500 or 1000 or whatever they give, you can talk to them about, you know, changing that mindset of just doing a donation to becoming a match grantor to encourage more gifts from other donors and a lot of donors are very excited to take part in that because it just adds another level of impact for them. And it's very exciting. So think about who you could ask corporate sponsors, you know, community partners stuff like that. Communicate and learn so you're going to want to talk to them, figure out if that's something they're interested in talk to your major donors see if that's something they're interested in let them know how the process would work and what you would need for them. But you know at the end of the match you will follow up with them regarding the statistics, you know, everyone wants to know like well how many donors did I encourage to donate during that hour with my match. So coming up communicating learning having a follow up plan with your match or something you'll want to do, and then making the actual ask so once you felt it out, you know someone who is interested actually make the ask. And of course, start the process now you have plenty of time to try to secure a couple matches, or even just one match. We also have very flexible matching options. So you can work with your donor make it engaging and fun for them. You can pull up what the donation. Sorry with the match kind of form looks like which I believe is on my next slide and work with them and just create like a deeper relationship with that without grantors. And just remember matching grants don't mean to be enormous they don't mean to be $500 they can even just be $200. Because basically what you're doing is just offering up some funds for those who give during that special matching time. So also another thing to consider is that multiple people can go in on the match so you can pool like funds to create a larger matching grip and gift and you can say you can recognize the group so maybe the group has a fun name that they want to go by and you can put that in the match information. So this is what in live match actually looks like you're going to have a little sticker on your donate button so donors coming to your page can see that you have a live match. Mighty causes auto going to calculate how much of the match has been fulfilled. So once the match is closed, it'll let you or the donor email that you add it'll let them get notification that the match has been closed. And then there'll be a button if you do add their email letting them know that they can make their gift online they don't have to make their gift online. But for, you know, a gift to count towards a leaderboard all gifts need to be made online. But a summary block will also appear on your page listing all of the live matching grants and showing you how much is left which is very exciting. So this is what it looks like. As far as adding matching grant is super easy to set up it is found under your dashboard when you log in on the left hand side it's under fundraising tools matching grants. You'll pull up an entire match manager it'll have live matches past matches. It's kind of just the history of your match managing match management. And you'll click create at the top right and a pop up panel will show you all of the different settings so you can have a name of your match sponsor you can hide the name publicly if they want to be anonymous. You can have an image maybe it's a logo if it's a corporate sponsorship or community partner sponsor. If it's a group of employees maybe you just have a group picture of them. So it's fun to kind of play around with these different settings. You can set the date time that it'll be active you can choose what percentage of each donation most typical matches. I would say our one to one so your match and 100% of the gift so like $20 are going to get $20 someone donates $100 will get $100 one thing to keep in mind if you don't want your match to be eaten up super quickly. If you have you know a $500 match and somebody donates $500 well there you go your match has now ended they mean to some organizations opt to match up to a certain amount. So you can set that here as well match up to a maximum dollar amount per gift. So that helps to extend the time that your match is available helping more donors get excited and more donors take advantage of the match. And that means you could match up to say $50 of every gift so if someone makes $50 gift you'll match $50 if someone makes $100 gift they're still only going to match up to $50. So that's something to consider as well as your setting up your match. As well as a couple other settings you can add an email for the person who's going to get notified. If you don't want your grantor notified and you want to handle the communications you don't have to put your grantor's email there. One question that sometimes comes up is whether or not to include match value and page metrics. This is going to signify basically that the total raised on from a match is going to be reflected in your organization page totals. So, typically what we recommend. If your grantor is going to fulfill the match online disable this option. If that allows your grantor when they make their online gift, then the lump sum of the match will be reflected in the organization total and reflect on the leaderboard. If your grantor is going to fill their match offline, then you can choose to either keep it enabled or disabled. One thing to keep in mind is that if your page total is not reflecting accurately, and there's a discrepancy between how much you've actually raised. Most likely that you are accidentally double counting your match. So all you would need to do is just go to your match manager and click the little eyeball icon to hide the matching funds. Because most likely they're being duplicated. So, hopefully that makes sense sometimes there's confusion if you are confused on the day of the event and your totals are looking funny and you had a match and you think something might be up just let our support team know. They deal with matches, probably at least once a day if not multiple times a day. And they can easily take a look and help you out. And you can email them. Yeah, go ahead Jackie. No, I was just going to add them there sometimes is a discrepancy if an organization has added an offline donation. And we encourage you to do that to show your total, but offline donations are not going to be included in leaderboard totals because that's only for online donations. Yes. A couple other settings, like I mentioned you can add a match notification email so if you want your grantor to get notified when the match is closed so that they can click the button to make their online gift. You can add their email there. If, if instead you want to be handling it you've already maybe gotten a check from your grantor and you plan to add that as an offline gift during the event you don't have to put an email here. Or you can put your own organizations email here so that you get notified when the match ends, totally up to you. And if at any point you need to edit your match while it is still live, you can just go back to your matching grants management area and select the pencil icon to make any edits. One thing to note is that once your match has closed, we're no longer able to edit it. And then if at any time you need to review your matches, you can always do that and check out your past history, you can see kind of the settings that you had. You can download the full report for each match so if you had a grantor who wants to know like okay well how many people used my match, how many people benefited from it you can download the report and you can deliver those statistics, the stats to your grantor you can say well 20 people took advantage of your match this is so awesome look how much we raised. And that is very enticing to the grantor to want to do this again. So kind of having a plan in place to close out and I have a slide on that as well to make sure you are taking care of your grantor giving them the information they need all of that is accessible to you in your matches reports. And this is also where if you're seeing you know confusion or discrepancy and our support team needs to take a look this is where you can hide the funds from your page so that they're not accidentally duplicated for any reason. Another fundraising tip is to activate your ambassadors so your ambassadors are your supporters so this is kind of a larger picture term.  So why should you engage your ambassadors. They help you reach and acquire new donors, they are people who want to share their own impact stories they want to share with people that they know and care about like hey, here's this organization. This is the work they're doing and it really means a lot to me. They help you amplify your outreach to help you raise more money by being engaged and sharing links. In general what can they do they can do anything from just sharing a link to your page talking about your campaign resharing social media posts you can ask them to click reshare to their you know stories on Instagram. They can even forward an email that you sent them to somebody else that they know. So you can just make it really easy for them by talking to these different supporters and letting them know like here's different ways you can help support us and this is a really good email to come up with prior to your campaign, letting people know like here's 10 ways to support us. And maybe it's not just, you know, sending us, you know, a donation here's, you know, five or six non monetary ways to support our campaign to help us win prizes and do better. One of these ways to help you is of course peer to peer fundraising, people to ask to be a peer to peer fundraising supporter, maybe you have, you know, volunteers or staff or friends or family, or community partners. You can provide them resources tips, you can create a template for them through your organization page that kind of pre fills the content and we talked a little bit about that in the last webinar. So I think it's super easy for them to try to help you that's kind of the goal, make it as easy as possible for somebody to help you during your campaign. As far as how to get started with peer to peer fundraising. So all your supporter your ambassador would need to do is to go to your page and click the fundraise button next to donate. So when they click that fundraise button, and they will be prompted to create their own individual fundraising page. They can set up which we always recommend they can enable that template. And that gives them kind of a jumping off point they'll be able to, of course make any edits they can adjust the goal that you've set for them they can add their own pictures they can add their own testimonials. But just a really easy way to try to get them off the ground is to just set up that template for them. And then your ambassador your fundraiser can then share that URL of their fundraising page. They'll share the link directly with their own friends and family directly on their own social media. They can switch out their link and bio to their peer to peer fundraising page. And these are all kind of tips that you can come up with an email and send to them to try to explain to them how to actually use their peer to peer fundraising page. As I said, very easy to manage very easy to set up. You can find your peer to peer campaigns for your own organization under your fundraising tools on your dashboard campaigns is going to show you pretty much a whole library of peer to peer campaigns. These are, you know, campaigns that someone might have set up last year for your event. Your campaign is no longer active, you are able to toggle discoverability so you can hide any out of date campaigns so that everything that's being fundraised for is active this year. And pro tip, you can share your fundraise button directly as a link and any emails that you are sending asking people to be a peer to peer fundraiser for you. You can create a social media post and you can say looking for a way to support us during giving day for apes consider creating a peer to peer fundraising page and you can add that direct link fundraise button to your posts. And then very important, as far as strategy, you might not think this has anything to do with your campaign this year but it definitely does and it definitely has an impact on how you're going to do with your campaign next year. So closing the loop is something that you need to work into your plan. This means basically letting people know how you did during this year's event letting them know, did you hit any goals, and then also saying thank you. So a speedy personal sincere thank you is going to be so helpful in making sure you know everyone who donated and campaigned for you had a really positive experience, which will make them want to do it again and that's the goal. It is hard to get people to, you know, peer to peer fund raise it's something new they haven't done it before but once you get somebody who says okay I'm going to do this and they do it, you want to definitely pay special attention to them. So thank them publicly thank them if they are into that personally thank them. Just let them know how important and helpful that was to your campaign, and they will most likely do it again for you. If they're an anonymous grantor. If they don't want to be publicly things you can always just make a very general. Thank you so much to our grand tour for our 2pm power hour matching power hour type of thing. And then make sure all your supporters know the data, let them know how you did after the event. Their donations contributed to that data so they're going to want to know did you reach any goals. Did you get any prizes. Let them know the impact that their gifts had on your events. And the same thing like I was saying for your match matching grantors. Let them know the data it goes so far and just letting them know like here's the actual number impact that you had on our event. And it's going to encourage that donor or that community partner to want to make a match again. And of course, work into your strategy, giving special attention to first time donors. So if you had a lot of peer to peer supporters, working on fundraising for you, and you've got, you know, 10 new donors have a plan in place to welcome them and onboard them and let them thank you so much. We're so happy for your gift and for taking the time to check out our organization. Send them, you know, a newsletter. Send them a welcome packet if you're able to, or a sticker or something like that that just lets them know that they've been seen and they're appreciated. And hopefully you can continue to retain them as donors year over year. And thinking more about that year round stewardship and communication with donors. Giving doesn't stop after giving day for apes. You are going to want to use these tools and these, you know, different things that you're learning throughout the year to try to elevate and lift up your organization. Fundraising happens year round. So think about how you're going to take these tools and these donors with you throughout the year. I just wanted to add to this Jackie. That's just such an important message because, you know, again, this is not giving day for apes is not just about raising money one day, but it is getting new supporters that will hopefully be helping you year round and we talk about storytelling for giving day for apes and what are you going to say the funds are for. It's great to be able to follow up with the donors for giving day and kind of tell them the next step in that story and things. If you were raising money to, I don't know, buy a new piece of equipment to send that thank you email saying thanks to you and overgiving day supporters we were able to do this or share a picture of it or something like that. So just closing the loop is showing them the impact that they made on giving day and hopefully that will help them to continue donating to you. Last few slides so we just want to reiterate the support and resources that you have available as you prepare your campaign. Just as Jackie said we have a new kind of. What's the word for Jackie. New document that we've added. The planning guide. Yes we have a wonderful new worksheet planning that you can download and start to fill in different goals to check that out we just added it this morning to the toolkit. And then there's just a bunch of timelines tips and then templates that definitely take advantage of the templates. These are for you know, social media posts and emails and stuff like that to just try to make your participation as easy as possible. I guess I forgot to remove that third webinar. This is the third webinar, but if you want to revisit any of the webinars that we've already recorded you can do that. That's on the asset library and this third webinar is also going to be downloaded and uploaded to the asset library so you can review the slides. You can, you know, relist into all of the prizes information. Thanks for the check for new announcements when you sign into organization page on your overview dashboard there will be a little pop ups we're going to add a couple new ones. So you can just check those out. And of course, our mighty cause support team is here to help you throughout the event. Send them an email for any questions that you might have any donor questions you might have any technical questions you might have our support team is awesome and they are happy to help you kind of troubleshoot anything that might come up. And also if you have any questions about any of the prizes you're not clear on the schedule or any of the rules. Let us know we're happy to explain that further. And that's we're really close to early giving so good luck to everybody. I'm excited to see everyone's campaigns this year. Thank you, everyone.


Hey guys, it's Nate, aka the Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. The last of the top five leagues of team of the season is here today. Serie A Tots are dropping in FIFA 22 today. And I want to take a look at the leaked team of cards we're expecting to see. Talk about the SBC content that we think we might see today. The objective content, which seems like we're maybe missing a little bit of based off of the leaks. We'll talk about that. And of course, talk about the market. How these cards are going to come onto the market today. Are they going to be really expensive right away? Are they going to be really cheap? And just talk about the hype transitioning from league one to Serie A team in the season. There's also a lot of things going on with maybe the Belgian, the Super League Tots cards still being in packs today, SBC fodder. And of course, the awesome upgrade packs that we have had this week, it might be worth before the team drops today. If you want to have a chance at packing some Serie A cards, it might be worth stacking up some 81 plus player picks, because those have been so good during this past week. They might be popping today in terms of giving out Serie A Tots cards. So we'll talk about all of that and more in today's video. If you're enjoying the videos on the channel, make sure to thumbs up and of course, subscribe. If you're new, let's just start off by taking a look at this team. Once again, these are the cards that we're expecting to see today. And again, right? I feel like I've been pretty critical this week of Serie A team in the season. And I've said there's not a lot of hype with this or not as much hype, but we're coming off arguably the best cards of team of the season that we've seen yet in the game so far. And we're kind of going to Serie A now with yes, there's some hype here. And yes, there's some great cards, but it does seem to be just a bit of a step down from League One. But again, I don't want to discredit this league at all. And I don't want to discredit anybody that's hyped for Serie A, because there's really some insane cards in here, right? Tehran is Tonali, Imoblade, Dibala getting a card, Vlapovic, Rafa Leal, Brozovic looks insane. So it's really going to come down to, like we've been saying this week, some of those extra small things, maybe a work rate change, a skill move, weak foot upgrade. If they go all out with some of those today on the Serie A cards, like we've been saying all week, this team could actually be really good. And I think that this team is going to end up being really cheap on the market. Maybe not today, they might start off a bit expensive. But I think that these cards being really cheap will make people want to go out and try them. And I think that's going to be the nature of this team, maybe as we get into, like, Saturday, Sunday, Monday timeframe. Today, though, I think they might start off a little bit expensive, because I just don't know how they're going to get supplied a lot today. As these cards come onto the market today, of course, we are not expecting a token pack. If you guys remember for La Liga team of the season, they dropped the Swaps token pack in the store. And that provided a ton of supply. You know, I don't think we're getting that token pack today. I'd be a bit surprised if we are. If it does drop, that would mean a lot of supply early on. There's not a people that have saved up packs, though, for today's promo either, right? Most of the saved up packs have been opened by now, especially in the first couple weeks, like during community and prem tots. So any supply today that would come right away would probably just be from an unexpected token pack or a preview pack. And the likelihood of those things coming today seems pretty low. That's why I think that these cards are going to start off pretty expensive. Of course, they're going to run lightning rounds. And we do have those Serial League specific lightning round packs that will probably come into the game and be in the store later on today on Friday. But I think the way that it looks, these cards are probably going to start off a bit expensive and then be dropping off after the first few hours. So I wouldn't be looking to buy any of these cards right away today. Now, let me talk about those lightning rounds really quick, because this is something that we've seen in the past couple of weeks, and we have the packs added to the code. Once again, just to show you some of these packs that are in, we have the foundation packs, which we actually didn't see last week for League one. Kind of interesting. We've got an 84 plus star Serial pack. We've got a Serial half pack. We've got a 1080 plus Serial players pack that's probably going to be involved in some sort of objective or SBC later on this next week. We also have an 80 plus times two Serial pack similar to the league 175 plus. Then moving on, we've got some of the reward packs that are in here. This one's a bit interesting though, 83 plus team of the week slash tots player pack. I don't know if that's going to be an SBC or an objective type pack, but that's really an interesting pack because an 83 plus team of the week, like that could be a card that was that's been released all year long, but then also a tots included in that. That's like from the last couple of weeks in team in the season. So I'm curious to see how this pack comes out in the game. That would be one that would be very interesting to see. So of course, these are all the other Serial packs that have been added, but the ones that we would have expect to really impact these card prices later on today would be the Serial half pack and the 84 plus star Serial players pack. That's 100% going to be a lightning round later on tonight on Friday. So if you're going to try any of these cards out when they drop today, you know, be pretty careful with those because just like we even saw last week with Lee Gunn, some of these cards got like paqueta on Friday night heading into Saturday was like 1.2 million coins. He went up to like 1.35. Ben Yetter went down to 2 mil. He went back up to 2.3. So watch out for that pack coming late tonight on Friday. It's one thing. It usually drops and prices get really low around like, you know, 11, 12 p.m. or sorry, like 11 p.m. 12 a.m. UK time. If you're up that late, you'll see some low prices in the evening on these cards most likely. So that's kind of how I expect these cards to react on the market today. What other content should we see? Well, it's actually pretty interesting. We had this Pellegrini that was leaked to be an objective and now Foot Sheriff is saying that he's going to be our SBC for today and it's weird because we're used to seeing a flashback SBC be the content released on a Friday. Every single Friday for the past five weeks, we have had a flashback player SBC.  So it seems like we should be getting a flashback today, but it honestly sounds like this Pellegrini is now going to be our SBC. It's the only one that we really have leaked right now along with Kessie. It's either of those today probably is our SBC unless EA have something else that they want to change and throw out there. And then our objective player is Lopez and they're only one objective right now as well, which I think seems a bit slim. So yes, this card does have some nice links, but I think the stats are basically way behind the curve. That's a card that would be usable in like February by the standards of where we are at now in the game. So it seems like based off of the leaks. And again, this is just off of the leaks. It's not, of course, the guaranteed content that we're going to see today. EA could of course have some curveballs and some other stuff planned that we don't know about yet. And honestly, that's what I'm hoping for with this Tots content for today. But we have how many objective players we have, we have four players. Yes, four players, Tots items or Tots moments items that are available in objectives at the moment. Dante and Azorcare are going away with League One ending today. You've got Maxim and Hope that are still going to be here. So maybe that's why there's only going to be one other objective card today. There's also a leaked objective for an MLS player coming out on Sunday with the other secondary league Tots. So maybe they're going to slow it down a bit with objectives because I feel like last week was such an objective heavy week, especially if you take a look at like where the swap tokens were. I mean, all like there were so many tokens available and you had to grant objectives to get the swap tokens last week with like four players being in here. It was kind of crazy and there weren't as many SBCs. So maybe this week what they're going to do is push the focus a bit back more on the SBCs just to kind of switch that around a little more. I don't know. I'm just kind of, you know, speaking out a little bit and just thinking critically, I guess, of what they could do to change today. But I really think today's content is going to rely on the skill move and the weak foot upgrades that they put on some of these Serie A Tots cards and the SBC content, right? We've been talking all week. We have great ideas, all right? We had great ideas for La Liga Tots as well as some flashback SBCs that EA could do. You know, we talked about that end of an era Aguero. We talked about like a flashback Eden Hazard or a card like that. And right now we're talking about a potential flashback Zlatan, right? There's no leaks for that. It's just we have great aspirations of what content could be released. Is EA going to actually go out and release some good content on this week of Serie A Tots? We hope so. And maybe they'll surprise us today, like I'm saying. But I really feel like the cards and packs with the skill move, weak foot upgrades, because if they have those, people will want to go out and try them today. Or if the SBC player is really good, people will want to go out and do the SBC. But if those two places are kind of lacking today on the game for Serie A Tots, really, I feel like it's going to be kind of a dead Friday for content, which is possible. We've had plenty of those this year as well. And what would happen in that case, right? Let's say the content today is just kind of average. You're like, Nate, these League 1 cards, they just keep rising. They have to be almost too high, right? Well, yes and also no, because if nothing really that good comes out today, these cards are still the ones that are the most hyped right now at the moment. And yes, the new Serie A Tots cards coming out today would be a little bit cheap. But I think that some of your League 1 Tots cards that are leaving packs today could potentially go up further in price if the cards that come out today are not that hype, right? I mean, yes, they could be cheap. But if you're going to change up your team, you're going to have to do it pretty drastically for Serie A, like we've mentioned, with the links not being that plug and playable into most people's teams, with a lot of people running French or Brazil with some League 1, some strong links, Serie A, the nations are all over the place. You don't have a lot of just French or Brazil players like you did with League 1 to link a lot of players together. So it's hard to do that, right? That's why I really feel like the player that gets released today, the weak foot skill move and attacking or defending work rate changes are really going to be key for the market today. Now, one thing I'll say is this, and this is kind of early thinking way ahead towards Ultimate Tots a week from today, we're going to start talking a lot about Ultimate Tots this weekend, especially if the content's not that good because people are going to start to prepare even earlier in that case, if you see a pretty big market rise this weekend. And I'm talking like tonight on Friday night, maybe even tomorrow on Saturday, I think that would be an opportunity for some of the cards that we expect to see in Ultimate Team in the season or would potentially have a chance at getting an Ultimate Tots. We're talking guys like Mbappe, Neymar, Ben Yetter. I don't know who they're going to put into Ultimate Tots this year and that's what we're really going to start to dive into later on this weekend. Because some cards that we expect to get in, like a Benzema, like a Vinny, maybe even like a Modric or a Pedri, they're not going to release 30 cards into packs for Ultimate Tots. It's probably going to be a team of 15 to 20 players. But what I'm saying in general is I think that this weekend might be a general timeframe where some of these cards that have dropped off last week, rise up a little bit this week into the weekend, like Pedri was 1-3 lows and now he's 1.43. Yeah, he was last week 1-3-5 on like Tuesday, Wednesday when everybody was doing upgrade packs. We've seen the market bounce back a little bit. I think it could continue to bounce back if the content's not that hot this weekend. And I think that could create a great opportunity to maybe cash out on a few of those high rated cards that people would expect to be in the Ultimate Tots. So I'm just kind of putting the bug in the year about that because we're going to talk a lot more about that this weekend if the content is a bit quieter. Because probably people are going to start to prepare and sell off some of those cards here pretty soon. Even though we don't know what cards are going to be in Ultimate Tots, we're going to start to see people prepare for that because they're going to assume that Amane or a Ronaldo or a Salah is going to get in if they have those players. They know that Ultimate Tots is really going to affect the market a lot. So we're probably going to spend some more time talking about that here in the next coming days for sure. But I think we have to wait to think about that until we see the Tots team today and just to see how EA boosts things up and how EA, until we get a sense of how Seria Tots is maybe going to go after today's content on the game. So that's kind of my thoughts with stuff. Again, if you want to buy a League One Tots card for your Weekend League team, you know, a guy like Chalmany Paqueta Payet Marquinhos, a lot of these card prices are of course up from where they were on the weekend or even earlier in the week. You know, Marquinhos was like 740k on Monday and now he's 830, right? So these cards could go up a little bit more today just because they're hype. Again, people are going to be doing the last second upgrade packs and player picks today on Friday as well, which actually might be a play, right? Like I've got a duplicate de Maria that I have to somehow figure out to put in a squad in some sort of SBC today. And then I'm going to probably do a last minute send for some upgrade packs to try to pack one of the big three, you know, Messi and Bapé Neymar. Well, I already have Messi team of the year, but especially in a Bapé or Neymar or Marquinhos or Chalmany, like one of those guys. But what's really nice about doing some of those upgrade packs today, if you're still going is the 81 plus player pick. And this is one thing I want to talk about is it's going to be a great opportunity today to stock up on 81 plus player picks and save these, because these have been giving out so well over the past couple of days they've been out. I think it would be a great idea today, even if you're not super hyped for Syria team of the season, even if you're doing some last upgrade packs for Lee Gunn, it might be a great opportunity to go out and just do one, two, maybe five to ten, maybe even 30 or 40 of these, depending on how many coins you have and how much time you want to put in to these packs. Because I think it would create a great opportunity to maybe even make Syria thoughts a little bit more hype for yourself. If you're not feeling very hyped for today is, you know, maybe you're finishing out league one strong, but you want to do a couple player picks today, whether you want to open them today for Syria or save them for ultimate tots, that's kind of up to you. The packet on these is still so good.  No, I didn't pack anybody else insane. We just keep packing so many Lafonts and Terriers, but really what's that that has enabled me to do this week is get so many SBCs done and get so much fodder. So I feel like my, the time that I've spent crafting upgrade packs and the coins that I've put in, I've gotten so much more back because of how the pack weight has been. So take advantage of those 81 pluses today. I think that's going to be something you could take advantage of if you want to. Now also with the other leagues that are in packs still, because today on Friday, we are still going to have the Belgian League. So guys like Undav, the Catalera, Van Aken, and we have the Super League with Balotelli and those guys. You're probably going to see a bit more, oh my gosh, Undav is down bad. Wow. Look at this panic, 465. He's down 100,000 coins from where he was yesterday. But honestly, this is just panic selling. We see this every Thursday night or Friday morning, honestly, because these guys are still in packs today. You know, Undav is pretty hyped for his card. A lot of people still want to try him out because his stats look super good. Now both of these teams go out of packs on Sunday. It's on Sunday, June 5th, when all of these cards go out of packs. So they are going to get supplied a bit more today. So specifically for Balotelli, Homschik, Visca, and then for the Pro League team, Undav, the Catalera, and Van Aken. Wow, 70K and 74K. Crazy cheap. You know, keep keeping eye on these cards because they are going to have some panic selling. Like we see Undav was, he was literally 550, 560 yesterday and he's been dropping off for the past couple of hours. These guys are rare. Yes, they're going to get packed, but there will be some bounce back and some times of rebound on them today as well. So if you want to trade with them, I think that's going to be a great opportunity on the market today. Just remember, like, Taliska, right? Taliska was panic sold so much, but then he rebounded back just because he was, he was rare. People wanted to use him and they wanted to try him out. So watch those cards today as they do go out of packs on Sunday, but there's going to be some fluctuation with them as they are in packs and going to be panic sold because people know that. And also, SBC Fodder is a place right now where it's starting to drop. 86 is 9,000 coins. 85 is getting towards that 5K range again. 84 is in the low threes. Where's like 89s or 90s? Kane is 28K. So your fodder is starting to creep back down there again as people are selling the last of their investments and the demand is kind of tailing off because people know that, okay, today and this weekend is going to be supply and that means that these cards are going to drop. So again, today, tomorrow, Sunday, watch the fodder market once again, especially as we head into Sunday because there is a small bit of potential that we will finally see an icon moments player pick upgrade SBC. That would be huge for fodder. And I think so many people would want that. You know, I think even this last week, people wanted a repeatable icon upgrade SBC. That would have been so helpful with the insane upgrade packs that were out. But EA has been just milking the upgrade packs for so long. It's time for the player pick. And I think people are going to have that on their mind. So fodder is definitely going to be a watch. It did really, really well this last week. I think it could do well this week too, even heading into ultimate team of the season. But this stuff is probably going to be dropping like it usually does in the weekends. So that's going to be a place to the market where you'll probably want to be out of, but you'll definitely want to be watching it as we head through this weekend as well. And honestly, guys, that's just that's the game today, right? Of course, we got footchamps. I wonder if the demand for footchamps is going to drop off a little bit today, because again, people are going to see the cards that they're playing for. And you know, the raw fail layout, there's a lot of great potential once again with this side that is dropping today in the game with with this Serie A team of the season. There are great cards in here. Again, I don't want to sit here and just tell you that today is not a hyped day. The fact that the ball is getting a Tots card, whether you think it's deserved or not, you know, he's getting a Tots card. Berardi looks pretty freaking sick and Mowbley is going to be good. Vlahovic is going to be good. Leao is probably one of the most like unknowns. Like his card looks good, but also like he's the highest rated guy in the squad. That's crazy. Brozovic looks insane. Again, Serie A, this entire year of FIFA has been overlooked, but it's created some great opportunities for really good cards at a really cheap price. Since the beginning of the game this year, Serie A cards have been dirt cheap and, you know, they're good cards and people kind of overlooked them because it's not French, it's not Brazil. Not all of them have five star skills. So there's that, but I think there's going to be a lot of great cards today. And taking a look at Serie A special cards really quick too. I know we looked at Debala today, but just talking through, you know, a few more of these, the Debala situation today, you know, it's really going to depend on how much his Tots card is. If I'm being honest, I really don't see once the dust settles on the Tots cards today for Serie A, I really only see two cards max, two to three cards max that are going to be over a million coins. I think Debala, if he gets an insane upgrade on a skill move, weak foot, if he gets that high attacking work rate as well, if he's like five star skills, four star weak foot on his Tots card today, then I think he'd be probably like 1.3, 1.4, maybe even 1.5 mil. I think Raphael Liao could be up there as well. And then Tonali and Theo Hernandez are going to be like the next most expensive cards in his Tots team today. That's why I think the team itself is going to be relatively cheap.   You know, if the most expensive card today in Serie A Tots is Debala at like 1.5 mil, then this Dinatale is going to be the most expensive card still in the Serie A. He's like 1.7, 1.8 mil for a card that's probably going to have semi similar, if not maybe even a little bit worse stats than Debala. And he's got the five star skills in the four star weak foot. So just watch out for your guys like Dinatale, Cordova, because like we talked about this week as well, the Serie A special cards this year have always done fantastic when there's hype, the out of packs ones, just because there's not a super, not a crazy amount of ways to link Serie A cards. Like this Cordova was under 500k a couple days ago, and now he's 650,000 coins in the hype of the team dropping today. So for some of the more rare cards, you know, even though they're cheaper, some like the Alex Sando, who is 65k and now he's up to around like 80,000 coins. You know, I see Teo Hernandez is the only left back in the team right now, and he's expensive. And you know, Sandro's got the Brazilian links, it's a lot of people have got Milletau, a lot of people have Marquinhos, you know, we have Paquetas floating around. We do have a Brazilian in the team today, Bremer as well. So this would be a strong link to that Bremer card. A lot of people did Dante. So Brazilian links are flying right now. And I think that helps this Sandro card out a little bit. So, you know, some of these cards are probably going to do pretty well today still. I think they could go up later tonight as people want to go out and make a Serie A team or two. But again, I'm also holding some of my League One Tots cards, like the New Men's that I bought at 100,000 coins. I'm still holding these because I feel like that if the Tots squad today, especially with the left back position being Teo Hernandez being very expensive, I think that some of these lower tier cards and you know, just still the hype with League One Tots is going to continue and some of these cards could rise up a bit. So I'm hoping that New Men's goes up another 10,000 coins.  So that's kind of what I'm hoping for today. And I could see that all happening. Of course, we are going to be following it live on stream today, twitch.tv slash the photo calendar link that is down below in the description. As always, we're going to be on during the content drop, we're going to see the cards, watch their prices, open up my two Serie A saved packs, open up some player picks, and it'll just be a chill day. Hopefully it's a fun one. Hopefully EA drops some fire content and maybe even surprise us a little bit with some Serie A content that we maybe were not expecting. So that's going to be the video for today. If you're excited for Serie A Tots, once again, hit the thumbs up on the video, comment down below if you have any questions. And of course, subscribe if you are new. It has been Nathan Fodacow and I'll catch you guys later. Peace out.


Chairman Li Yujie of TWNIC, VP and APEC Managing Director Luo Jiarong of ICANN, Commissioner Dengwei Zhong of National Communications Commission, Dr. Vinton Sef, Edmond Zhong, and Akinori Maimura-san from the ICANN Board, Andrew Sullivan from the Internet Society, Paul Wilson from APNIC, esteemed experts, ladies, gentlemen, and non-binary friends, the local time. It is my great pleasure to be here virtually at the third ICANN APEC TWNIC Engagement Forum and the 37th TWNIC IP Open Policy Meeting organized by the TWNIC and the ICANN. In preparing this video, I checked the event program and I couldn't agree more of the event starting from the fundamental nature of the Internet to address the issues of Internet governance. These issues are highly related to Taiwan's national goals, both domestically, enhancing our nation's cybersecurity resilience, and globally, ensuring an Internet that is truly open and fosters competition, privacy, and respect for human rights. As a partner and signatory to the declaration for the future of Internet as April, we are committed to put more focus on the multi-stakeholder model on Internet resources allocation, cybersecurity, as well as infrastructure development. And with shared reality and distributed ledger technologies becoming the hot topics in the modern world, soon the Internet may empower all of us to live in a world where the physical and the virtual worlds are seamlessly intertwined. But while embracing unprecedented connectivity, we are inevitably facing the negative undercurrents, technology that bolsters authoritarian surveillance and corrodes democratic institutions. While democracies are fighting back with regulation, this conflict is not inevitable. Seven years ago, when Uber arrived in Taiwan, its presence was divisive, just as it has been in much of the world. But rather than letting the antisocial corners of social media pour in fuel on the flame, we adopted a multi-stakeholder policymaking process with thoughtful, deliberative conversations involving thousands of participants on how right-hailing should be regulated. We harness tools for digital democracy to cluster opinion, allowing every participant to quickly digest the clearest articulation of the viewpoints of their fellow citizens and then contribute back their own thoughts. And the views that drew support from across the initial lines of division rose to the top, forming a rough consensus that was swiftly turned into running code, including software and legal code. In Taiwan, the characters for digital and plural are the same, shu wei. Data altruism allows our civic tech community to co-create a plurality of services from pollution monitoring to distribution of masks and rapid tests. Open and reliable payment systems allow creative forms of crowdfunding to support public goods. Peer-to-peer reputation systems empower civil society to combat this information, often with humor over rumor, while maintaining our vibrant free speech. Indeed, the internet began as an experiment with such decentralized designs, yet a vision of its founders, like J.C.R. Licklider, on which ours is closely modeled, it was just partially realized. And today, we have the chance to build a future where technologies express and empower these important ideals rather than degrading them. And to accomplish this vision, we need joint efforts from industry and academic peers to take part in digital democracy, to make our tools serve our values, not the other way around. And with this, I wish the two-day forum a great success, with fruitful collections of valuable perspectives for both international and local community members. Thank you for listening. Live long and prosper.


Hi, this is George. You know how some people give content for free only during launches? Well, I used to be someone like that. What I mean is they would only give out free articles, free videos, free webinars when they're trying to sell you something. I did that for a couple years and in fact I used to teach that, right, to say, oh well, you know, don't waste your time giving free stuff to people. People aren't gonna appreciate it. People will, you know, make you feel used and you know, you should only be giving free stuff when you're gonna ask for something in return like a sale. I've changed my mind on that and I'll tell you why. It's because when you, and I would say if you're seeing a marketer just giving free content in order to try to make a sale, I would advise you to look elsewhere for help because a couple reasons. One, they are not actually growing their skills as much as other people who are giving free content. One was what I've discovered after two years of consistently giving free content is I have never grown in my knowledge and skills and ability to help people this fast. I mean compared to the previous five years when I was only giving content when I was doing a launch, you know, oh webinar series to launch a program, coaching program or something like that. It actually blocked me from learning more because what happens when you give content, when you publish it on social media especially, is that you get feedback. Okay? You get feedback about which pieces of content are really helpful and the ones that you don't get much likes are, that's feedback that those things aren't as helpful for people. And the marketers and the teachers who aren't consistently sharing their content and getting feedback aren't growing as quickly and their skills might be kind of stunted. They might be kind of kept in kept in time, you know, kind of like get stuck in time. So I really recommend that you learn, when you're trying to learn from a teacher, a coach, a mentor, see if they consistently give content, especially on social media, so that they are really rapidly building their skills. And secondly, that also shows that when you continually give content for free, it actually builds your sense of generosity. I have never, if you would ask the George Cow from five, seven years ago about my behavior today, I would have said that's foolish, you know, I'm wasting my time, but I also was a lot less smart about marketing and about productivity because I wasn't teaching, you know, the old saying is so true. If you want to learn something, teach it. Okay? And teach it not just to your clients, but teach it to as many people as you can. I now see my content as in part public service that I do every day, Monday through Friday, and in part for my own learning and growth. And to get feedback, and third reason is to get feedback to say, well, what pieces of content and how am I saying it is really helpful for people. So the main point here I want to make is give content all throughout the year as a public service, as for your own growth, and to get feedback and not just during launches and learn from people who also do the same thing. So I hope that's helpful. Always open to your questions and comments and until the next video. I wish you well.


Apparently, these people came in the night. I'm just in the garden and trying to see, you know, what was happening. They cut the wire. They entered from there, they entered from somewhere. They entered from here because the yard is demarcated in two. And you can see there are footsteps, you know. You can see there are footsteps here. You see, they were walking around here. Look, okay. And this is the army boots. These are army boots. Look, you see, these are army boots. Have you seen that? These are army boots. Look, here. You can see it's like they spent a lot of time here because the grass is, look, they cut my wire here. Here is the wire cut. This is the wire. It is cut. They cut this wire from here and also there. You can see the lines. The last one is cut and they were walking around here. Look, you see, these are army boots. These are army boots. You see that wire? This side, this side is okay, but here they cut it. They were walking around here. My gardener was taken from, they picked him up from here. You see, they were hiding here. So when he opened this gate, the moment he opened, that's how they nabbed him. Tied him and asked him to lead, to lead them to the house. So, I think they wanted to get in. How they didn't get in, I don't know. From the way they came up well prepared. They had, you know, those plastics, you know, the police officers use handcuffs. Soldiers have got those special strips and that is a strip that they used to tie my gardener. So it means, I mean, they came equipped. They had them, you know, they had them. And I'm sure they didn't carry those strips to come and tie my gardener. I'm sure the intention was to come and tie me. That was the intention. The vehicle was not nearby. The vehicle was further. They were talking on the phone, I don't know, I don't know, he called on the phone. They were communicating with others from outside, you know. You see? You see? You see? yeah it's terrible it's really terrible but anyway I only thank God I mean what are you saying I mean I can't if this is not dictatorship then tell me what is this soldiers soldiers going to a house of a citizen Dixon you're asking me do you have CCTV I've just uploaded I just uploaded that you can watch some of the some of the footage that I picked because I mean some of you know about Thomas you don't want to believe you want until it is seen I have uploaded part of it I've uploaded just part of it but I'm going to process the the footage nicely and I will show you clearly I'm going to upload it I have sent it out because I you know I didn't want to to show it before I secured the files so I've secured the files I've sent it to some of my friends and some journalists we will process the footage and see so that you can see clearly how everything happened but surely sure you are in the HDMI surely work in the HDMI is this how desperate you are is this how desperate you are those are soldiers and you my brother you my brother I was the commander in chief honestly you told they told my god my my gardener that you should tell your boss you should not be talking about the army what do I talk about the army that you should send your your your officers to my house what do I talk about what has threatened you because that is an act of cowardice I'm telling you that is an act of cowardice you are scared of something what is it that you are scared of what is it that you are scared of for you to send army officers there I have interacted with you I have interacted with you if indeed you even have my phone number if indeed there is something I even said it if there is something why not call me why send soldiers to come and you know we lay me at my house they were hiding in the gardens that proper criminals the moment that guard that gardener came in opened they got him and tied him up and asked him to lead to lead them to where I was I would have been picked the intention was to pick me without anyone knowing the intention was to pick me so that no one knows where where where they have taken me I could have disappeared I could have just disappeared because these guys they were around here to pick me they came to pick me that's why they drove their Land Cruiser in my yard they drove the Land Cruiser in my yard because they wanted to pick me I have said it here that people who start disappearing today could have been my day of disappearing people would have known anything people would have known anything they came with the intention to pick me and surely if they were picking me in good faith why cover themselves all their faces covered and wearing black combat they were all in combat they were not wearing civilian they were wearing those black combats they are wearing those black combats God knows what time they came God knows what time they came I do not God also is there God protects people really God protects people yesterday I stayed home I just stayed home and usually when I'm inside the house I make sure that I put up all the security systems if I'd gone out I'm sure they would have picked me it seems those people came in the night they didn't come in the morning because my gardener comes here at 6 o'clock 6 hours that's when he comes in immediately came in at 6 hours they got him they knocked him so it only means that those criminal those soldiers came here in the night wearing black combats covering their faces honestly what can you think of that what can one think of that if really people would come in the night wearing black cover in their faces with guns what do you think they what the intentions were what do you think the intentions were if it was you by HHE you keep talking about no pf was a bad government pf what what what what did you have soldiers at your house did you have soldiers in the manner that they have come to my house I can't I can't believe it I can't believe it I am shaken not because of soldiers no no no no I've signed a death warrant what I am shaken for because when I saw them I thought there were criminals I thought they were criminals I started shooting and god knows I mean one would have died one would have died I saw them with guns I saw them with guns and I'm telling you I didn't I was ready for the battle I was ready for the battle ready for the battle for goodness I will have shot want I would have shot one of them I would I have shot one of them I'm telling I was going to shoot one of them. But there is just something that told me, you know, stay calm. Those are innocent. Those people that you sent, those are innocent people. You just sent them. They are following orders. And yes, they are military. But I had an advantage of them. I was seeing them. I had an advantage of them. I was seeing them. Thank God the moment I started shooting, they retreated. I don't blame you.  I don't blame you. You are innocent people. You are just sent. And we thank God. We thank God that we are both, we are safe. I was seeing you. I saw you when you were coming in. I had an advantage over you. I had an advantage over you because I was seeing you. You didn't see me.  Honestly. Why can't they teach them? Please. You were voted by the people. Don't turn this country into a dictator. The army commander, please. Come on. Is this the professionalism that you are talking about?  Surely, is this the professionalism that you are talking about? Is this how soldiers operate in a democracy?  That's what you are telling me. You are a professional for 40 years. But surely, what has happened today, is this the professionalism that you are talking about? When did you see in this country, this is the first time I've never heard of it. I've never heard of it. I've never heard of it. I've never heard of soldiers attacking a house of a civilian. I've never heard of it. In the 40 years that you have been in the military. Honestly. No, no, no, no. This is, this is not right. This is not right. I'm just a simple citizen. And what I talk about, I don't talk about my own issues. I talk about issues that are relating to people out there. I talk about issues that are relating to people out there. The plight I'm talking about is not my own. It's the plight of the people out there. No, no, no. This is not right. This is not right. This is not right.  And I'm ready for it.  If that is what it will take for Zambians to realize that we are kind of a dictator. It will be it. Because sometimes one person has to die for others. Sometimes.    And I'm ready.   You told my gardener, tell him not to talk about soldiers. The question is what is it that you are scared of that I shouldn't talk about? What is it that you are scared of that I shouldn't talk about? That you have to send the soldiers with guns? No, no, no. This is not right. This is not right. This is not right. This is not right. It is just not right. And it's not me who is wrong. It's you. It's you who is wrong. It's not me. I've never insulted you. I've never lied against anybody. I don't lie. I don't lie. I don't lie. I don't lie. I don't lie. It's not me. I mean, this is the democratic country. I've got the right to express myself. I've got the right to speak for the Zambian citizens.   If what I'm saying is not true. I'll show you a bit. There is the Land Cruiser. There. This is the Land Cruiser. You see? It's slowed down. You will see somebody coming to open the gate here. This vehicle had to slow down because there was a vehicle in front. You see? It turns. Have you seen? Now you see this guy in a mask coming to open the gate. You see that guy there opening the gate? You see the gate opens. Have you seen him? And you will see now he comes out to call the Land Cruiser. You see? There is the Land Cruiser coming into the air. You see? Look at him. You see? You see them reversing? Have you seen? Look. Look. Have you seen how they were dressed? And that's how they left those. I'll show you the other side. I want to show you the other side when they came in with my gardener tight. You see? There. With my gardener tight. You see that guy? There he is. He was pushing the gate. He went and opened the gate. And he was highly technical. He opened the gate without the remote key. You see them coming? My innocent chickens going about their business. You see? There is this guy. You see? Well messed up. Look. You open the gate. The Land Cruiser comes in. No number plate. You wanted to close the gate. But he felt he came back. And you see it has got this antenna for the radio signals. He went to brief whoever was there. I think that was the boss. At this point, at this point I was shooting. Look. Because I was shooting, you see? This guy goes back. Don't doubt these are not soldiers. They identified themselves. Why are you doubting them? They identified themselves. And these are soldiers. Why did you see criminals having such a car with an antenna? How damn can you be to ask these real soldiers? Look. This is the guy who was now telling my garden. You see? That's how they left. I'm processing the video. You can see it very clearly on this camera. But you will see it clearly when we process the video. I don't know what to say. I really don't know what to say. But I can assure you. See me alive here.  Because I strongly believe that what I'm doing is not wrong. It's not wrong. What I'm doing is not wrong.  I'm not going to stop. I am not going to stop. You told my gardener that I should stop talking. Here I am. I am talking. Come and shoot me.  If that will make you, if that will give you peace. Do it. Do it. I have no doubt that your intentions were not good. And I know you didn't come in the morning.   I just feel bad for the soldiers that were sent. I just feel bad for the soldiers that were sent. Because really, really, I mean, I thought they were criminals for goodness sake. I thought they were, I only thought it can only be criminals that would die my gardener and ask him to lead, me to lead them where I am. It's not a secret service. It's not the police. We make pressure work apocola. Those are soldiers. Those are soldiers. Even the guns that they were holding. Those are soldiers. Even the guns that they were carrying. Those are soldiers. Those are soldiers. No doubt about it. But at least now you know. The next time you hear I've disappeared, you know exactly what is going on. And for those of you who are still doubting, yes, today they came to my house and you think you are safe. One day you'll remember me. One day you'll remember me. Anyway, I just thank God really. My God is there. I just thank God and only God protects me. It's only God that protects me. It's only God that protects me. God himself knows.   That's why I'm not scared. Because the day that I will die, it will not be because the army want me dead. It will be because God himself has decided. Otherwise, when you might be shocked that your bad intentions against me will turn against you. Your bad intentions against me will turn against you.  I don't think so. I don't think so. That I can assure you. Today God protected me. Anyway, for now let me stop for 20 hours. Thank you very much.
