Where did life on earth come from? The answer lies in the stars which have lives of their own Stars are responsible for the materials that form us and everything around us Including these two people Welcome back to think tank today's topic is star birth alternate title a star is born Very catchy. Is the thought visualizer ready? I'll set boss. Let's do our tech check think of a light wave We'll have to work on that Every star begins its brilliant life as an enormous dark cloud of gas and dust This cloud is very cold drifting and rotating through interstellar space exactly Wait, why is it rotating? Well, your heart press to find something in the universe that isn't rotating to some degree All right checks out Anyway, sometimes gravity can pull the dusty cloud closer and closer together which can collapse under its own weight It's crushing me space clouds. Don't feel pain This cloud breaks up into smaller clumps some of which will become new stars in this soon-to-be stellar nursery a Club can continue to collapse under its own gravity Rotating faster as it shrinks and that's how you make a star. Thanks for watching. Nope. Not quite a star yet At this stage the center of the club is called a protostar This protostar builds up more and more material with pressures greater than those found at the bottom of the ocean and temperatures that reach thousands eventually millions of degrees That's when a remarkable thing called nuclear fusion happens and this marks the beginning of a star's life Which means that at last a star is born Wait, what's nuclear fusion? That's essentially where lighter elements like hydrogen combine to make heavier elements and release energy in the process The energy released by fusion powers the star through its whole life enabling it to shine brightly For stars like our Sun this lasts for billions of years This new star goes through many changes before it settles down It doesn't even use up all the surrounding material what doesn't get blown away Sticks around in an orbiting disk. We call that useless scraps Actually, we call that you and me. It's the material that forms the planets and everything on them including life on earth But that's another story and that's our show special thanks to NASA's observatories in space as they continue to peer deep into dusty star-forming regions Helping us learn where we came from and thanks as always to my assistant for subjecting himself to the thought visualizer Thank you all for watching. We'll see you next time


This video is going to talk about applications with logs. In 1935, Charles Richter defined magnitude of an earthquake to be defined as m is equal to log times i over s, where i is the intensity of the earthquake measured in centimeters of a seismograph reading taken 10 kilometers from the center of the earthquake and s is the intensity of a standard earthquake whose amplitude is 1 micron is equal to 10 to negative 4 centimeters and a standard earthquake is the smallest measurable earthquake known. So the strongest record earthquake in 1960 was given by this intensity which is actually 3,162,277.77 centimeters and we want to know what the magnitude is. So m is equal to i which they gave us 3,162,277.77 centimeters divided by the standard earthquake which is 10 to the negative 4 and it's the log of all of this. So we come over to our calculator and say the log of 3,162,277.77 divided by 10 carat negative 4 close at parenthesis and we find out that the magnitude is equal to approximately a 10.5, 10.5 actually Richters is what they call them. And then the last one. The deadliest earthquake in 2003 was in southeast Iran and made a magnitude of 6.6. What is its intensity? Well the magnitude is 6.6 and that's equal to the log of the intensity which they're asking us for divided by that 10 to the negative 4 which we know to be the standard. So in order to solve this one we could again convert it to an exponential and the base is 10 and you hop across the pond to get to the 6.6 and then it's equal to hop back across to find out what it's equal to and that's I divided by 10 to the negative 4. And if I want to solve that I have to multiply both sides by that 10 to the negative 4 to clear the fraction. The intensity is going to be equal to 10 carat negative 4 and we're going to multiply that by 10 carat 6.6 so that the intensity is 398.107 and that would be in centimeters. So another type of logarithmic application that we use is decibels. Loudness of sound is measured in decibels and the lowest intensity sound is going to be 10 to the negative 12 watts per square meter which is what the human ear can detect. So the loudness of sound in the decimal can be found by L of I loudness of intensity is equal to 10 times the log of the intensity divided by 10 to the negative 12 when the sound of intensity is 100 watts per square meter. So a sound produced by hairdryer of intensity 10 to the negative 3 watts per square meter what is the decibel level of the dryer. So L of I is going to be equal to 10 times the log of the intensity which we know to be 10 to the negative 3 divided by 10 to the negative 12. Now this is just a plug and chug and you can stick it right into your calculator if you wanted to just like this or we do know some exponent properties so let's just remind ourselves about our exponent properties. When you have the same base and you're dividing you subtract your exponents so this is going to be 10 to the negative 3 minus a negative 12 which will actually be plus 12 or 10 times the log of 10 to the 12 minus 3 would be 9. So 10 log and then we have in parentheses 10 care at 9 or if you remember anything about properties you should know that that's going to be 10 times 9 but maybe you didn't know that so let's just say this is 90 decibels. Finally the sound of an iPod at peak volume is 115 decibels that's the L of I and we want to know what the intensity is so we're trying to solve for this I so 115 decibels is equal to 10 times the log of I which we're trying to find divided by 10 to the negative 12. So what do we do here? Well you should know that this is 10 times that log so we know that we're trying to get to the log by itself eventually so that we can convert usually logs we convert or we can take to our calculator so we have 115 divided by 10 is equal to the log of I over 10 to the negative 12 hopefully you know that this is 11.5 it goes in perfectly so 11.5 is equal to this log and now you've got some choices okay we can convert it or since it's the log we actually can graph it and we haven't graphed a log before so let's try graphing this one clear out any equations we have in there and 11.5 is going to be my Y1 and log and then I have my X divided by 10 to the negative 12 negative 12 and I should be able to graph that and let's see if we have enough to be able to graph it and it looks like we just might so second trace five intersections what we want to do when we're graphing enter enter enter and here's my graph and here's my Y equal 11.5 so obviously I was in a bigger window than a standard and my graph looks like it goes something like this and we have X is equal to 0.32 approximately okay and again if you wanted to graph if you wanted to do it the other way you'd have 10 hypercross equal sign to the 11.5 is equal to I over 10 to the negative 12 that was a 12 and there we lost our one if they earlier didn't we and then I is going to be equal to 10 to the negative 12 times 10 to the 11.5 and those exponents and you're going to end up with 10 to the it's negative 12 plus 11.5 I should be 10 to the negative 0.5 and if I take which is exactly how we use the answer intensity if you go back when we did our problem here we had 10 to the negative 3 that was our intensity but if you want to check to make sure that our graphing worked which that works to 0.32 is okay if this is really that so 10 to the negative 0.5 sure enough that's our 0.32 same answer is just a different way to get there


Welcome to Access to Trader, the number one community for those who are committed to taking control of their trading in order to achieve success, profitability, and longevity. Thank you for joining us. Here's Dan Shapiro to help you find your edge, master your process, and own your future. Hey guys, good evening everybody. Welcome to another edition of the AccessToTrader.com Nightly Wrap-Up Show. Hope everybody is doing well. Crazy trading day. We'll talk about that in a second. There was no video last night. Usually I take Thursdays off. I usually don't have a Thursday video, but I took last night off. My daughter finally got into one of the schools that she was applying for for high school. So after all the standardized tests and all the, all the meet and greets and all the interviews and all that stuff that goes along by getting into high school, we went out to dinner, had a great time with the family. So I apologize, no video yesterday. But if there was a video yesterday, I would say, well, hell, there's business as usual. The market gets, market gets a dip, market gets bought, the market goes green, right? That's what happened yesterday, the day before, the day before that. And ironically, this is why, you know, the old, the old adage says, well, this is why we play the game. Today was a little bit different, right? So this morning you woke up, you had the PPI that came in, again, way too much data for your own good. But again, there's too much data talk. There's too much Fed Governors talk. We'll get to that in a second as well. But the point is today was a little bit different. We started the day with the PPI, a hot reading basically showed that the January supply rose more than expected, right? Not a really great thing. So they sold off the market, right? And no big deal, right? They sold off the market, not a big deal. Because again, the mantra of 2023 has been, well, the buyers will always step in and they'll buy this dip. And that's exactly what happened. If you look at the 60-minute view, right? If you look at the 60-minute view of the market, this came off the PPI. And just like every other dip since 2023 started, it's gotten bought. And not only did it get bought, at one point we came within about a dollar or so from going green, considering we were down $7 off the bottom of the range. That was super duper bullish, right? So we're like, okay, here we go again. Everything starts going green, slowly but surely. Tesla starts going green. If you guys remember the video from two nights ago, we were looking for that channel to the 215-218 channel. We'll get to that in a second. Big move on Tesla. But the point is eventually, like all things, eventually people when they're jumping off the 25th floor, eventually they're gonna get hurt. And this afternoon you had a couple of different things happening again for the outside of Powell talking of the last couple of days and all these different meetings and stuff. What happened was, well, you had a couple of different things, right? You had Fed Mester, right? Mester started talking and they're like, well, here's the hawkish commenter. I'm basically reading from the comments and says, Fester had hawkish commentary add concerns that the rates might continue to go higher for a longer period of time. That's not a good thing. Remember, because we were talking about only raising 25 basis points. Somebody said, right? One of the many, somebodies that our Fed Governors is talking. Somebody said, well, wait a minute, we might have this inflation thing under control. 25 is good enough. So then the market started selling off a little bit, right? Started giving back some of the rally that it had off the lows. And then Bullard came in like Mariana Rivera in his prime. And the ninth inning with two outs, bases loaded, with a three and two count and just sealed the deal. Heater right down the middle, the bears completely overpowered the bulls towards the afternoon. And the picture that was kind of painted for us a couple of weeks ago on the Fed minutes, right, on the Fed rates, well, then Bullard came around and said, well, now everything is kind of on the table, right? We're not looking at, you know, maybe a 25 basis point. We might be looking at a 50 basis point again. And oh, by the way, this Fester, right, Uncle Fester human being, they might be right. You know, it might extend longer, it might extend to 2024 and beyond. So the markets obviously got jittery. And if you look at literally, right, if you look at literally the last hour of the day, just absolute carnage, incredible carnage. It looked like mass liquidation at one point. And we closed at the lows of the day. And unfortunately, like unlike all other days, right? And if you look at all the red candles that we're putting this year, they had something in common, right? When there was a reversal candle, it took out the next day and went lower. Here was a reversal candle, the next day never took out the previous days lower, continued to higher. And here's another perfect example, right? Here was your first red print, the next day took down the candle and went lower. So here we are. We gave back, because of that sell-off, we gave back the five and the 10-day moving average. Really not that big of a deal, because again, when you start to panic a little bit off of every move from the top, every move from the bottom, you're going to drive yourself up the wall thinking, this is the top, this is the bottom. We're not talking about tops, we're not talking about the bottoms, we're not talking about guessing, we're not talking about what we think is going to happen. We're taking the data based on tonight's close, right? That's it.  If you can be kindly subscribed, right?  But if you can do all that, we really appreciate it to kind of support the channel.  Day-to-day, unbiased view of what we think is going to happen. The fact that we put in this inverted hammer.  Again, nobody's talking about there's a potential for reversal back to the lows. We need, you know, 15% move on the NASDAQ to kind of get things back to the square. We're just taking it day-by-day, trade-by-trade, right? We were very bullish on the way up. We got a little bit of a couple of days of back-test into the 10-day. We got a nice little reversal, reclaimed the five-day moving average, and that's why the whole point of the five-day moving average being so important. As you see here on February the 13th, we reclaimed the five-day moving average. We confirmed it and we went higher. Today is the first day, right? Today is the first day. We lost the five-day moving average. And that's kind of my point going into tomorrow's session. If we can confirm, right? If we can confirm today's channels on the Qs, then yeah, we could get another day. And maybe, you know, we don't know the severity of aggression for a potential move lower, but if we do confirm, and again, if, right, my aunt had, she'd be my uncle, right? So the word is if. It's if then. It's like, it's like, I think it's called the Pythagorean theorem. We used to have in, was it algebra, geometry?  I'm just joking.   But the point is if the Qs start losing this bottom channel and start taking down the next previous channel, then we have room all the way down to this 299 level. So 303, the 299, does this seem like it's the end of the world? Probably not. Will some of your positions feel it? Probably, right?  It's not really for you. This video is not for you. You'll be okay. Five years from now, your stock prices will probably be higher. But if you're an intraday trader and you are participating in intraday ranks, then you know, I think some of this information could be very useful to your approach going into tomorrow's session. So based on all the charts that I saw going into tonight's, you know, into tonight's research, well, it's very, very tough to turn around and go, I love this stock long tomorrow. Maybe the market goes back high, right? I have no idea. None of us have any idea. We could only make educational thoughts behind what we see on the charts. And if you look at all these charts, they'll have one thing in common, right? You have NVIDIA. They got downgraded today, right? Got downgraded today. And to NVIDIA's credit, right? To NVIDIA's credit, it actually held up today for the most part of the day. It actually rallied like six, seven points at one point off the lows. But here's the video closed right on the 10-day. Everybody see that? You see the green line, right? If this 10-day gets confirmed, look how much room you have down. You have Amazon, right? Look at Amazon, right? Amazon is really, really sitting on this support. You see this whole support area right here? If Amazon starts losing the support area, the futures start confirming and the queues start confirming. There's a lot of room down as well, right? There's a lot of charts out there. But the one that everybody's watching, because everybody believes, you know, this thing can crater 20, 25%, which is not crazy to think, right? This thing had, and when I say this thing, you know, I don't want to disrespect the God, right? Tesla, Elon, love you, boy, right? We had a phenomenal run. Absolutely phenomenal run in the stock for the whole, you know, for the whole 2003, hell, seven years even at the prior. But now this is approaching the same kind of setup than the NVIDIA's approaching, right? It's very, very close to losing its 10-day moving average, right? It's putting in an inverted hammer. Last time we put in an inverted hammer, right? It was on February the 9th, right? Put in an inverted hammer. What happened? The next three days, the stock has gone from 214 to 187. Is it possible it starts, you know, getting aggressive again? That's the whole point. We don't know if it will, but don't we have to be prepared for it? And that's all we try to do as traders. We just try to be prepared for every type of scenario. So, yeah, of course I'm watching it. You know, of course I'm watching Tesla tomorrow. Okay, I don't care which side we trade as long as the channel that confirms technically. So there's an inverted hammer here, and it went down with two straight days. Well, there's an inverted hammer here. Well, let's see what happens, right? To be determined. Again, always be prepared. You might be wrong, right? I don't care. Look, we could be having this conversation on the weekend video. My God, I was 1,000% sell bias. And the next thing we know, we rallied 300 points. Okay, you're going to be wrong. Who cares, right? Who cares? It's not about shares. It's not about likes, although somebody told me to make sure you guys share, like, and smash that like button, bro. Right? I don't know what that means, but smash that like button, bro. But the point is you're allowed to be wrong, okay? As long as your theory confirms, then you're more than willing and wanting to take a swing at it. If your theory and your objective and your research is not confirmed, then you don't. So if we rally tomorrow, again, what's the worst thing that happens? We buy stocks? Scary. Right? That's the whole point. Have a theory. Have a plan. Have a course of action. If that theory plan confirms, then you should be clicking that mouse with extreme prejudice. If not, you look for the other side of the channels, the other side of the aisle to take advantage of. But going into tomorrow, I am definitely at least initially self-biased. I will give the bulls, excuse me, I will give the bears about an hour or so to kind of confirm what I'm thinking is going to happen. So if there's any possible way the Mark of God's can give us a slight gap open tomorrow to the upside would be wonderful because ideally what would happen is if we gap up, right, if we gap up, we get stuffed into supply, they go green to red and confirm today's channels, I think then the floodgates potentially can move up. I wouldn't, I don't want to really see a big gap down open because the last thing I want to see is like Tesla down 10. It's going to destroy the whole trade. You know what I mean? I don't want to see the video down 10. Like I don't want to, like my first area on the sell side, I don't want to be shorting Tesla down 17 points opening range highs. There's no value there. So hopefully if we do have a down open, hopefully it's a small one, but the perfect world, I would love to see a little bit of a baby gap up open tomorrow, get stuffed into supply, roll over and start taking out today's channel. So that's it, right? That's it. So, you know, look, the market is or is been incredibly strong in 2013, extremely resilient, rational to a lot of new traders. But again, irrationality is actually rational. If you've been, if you've been trading for a long time, and the key is not to look at the market from the point of common sense. It'll never make sense to you. It's never made sense to me. I've gone on my 24th year. It's never made sense. There's never been a day that I turn around and go, oh, logically obvious, right?  Well, I haven't had an obvious trade in 24 years. Maybe you show me one day what that is like. But all jokes aside, I think if you are prepared, especially day to day, if you understand the dynamics of where the market is, how far the market's gone, and any potential rug pull is imminent, then you will understand that having overnight exposure, max-gill to the, you know, to the nines is probably not the smartest thing in the world, especially after, you know, after a 15, 16, 70% run-up already in the first five weeks of the NASDAQ 100. So going into tomorrow, you kind of, I kind of share my thoughts. Let's see how the market gods play out, right? The last thing you want to do is start shorting into the hole, especially at the open. That's usually when you get 99%, 95% you squeeze back before the market kind of resets itself. Let the market play out tomorrow for the first, you know, 10, 15 minutes. Let everything, you know, establish opening range lows. If the market is going to have another day of washing, right? Don't they have to confirm that opening range candle, right? So we don't have to rush. That's the whole point. We don't have to rush. We don't have to anticipate. We don't have to hurry. We have our game plan and let's see it confirmed. Guys, have a great night, everybody. Stay blessed. And I will see you all tomorrow. Take care, everybody.


Hello, in this video we're going to add a legend of the elevation map. This is a continuous raster and we can use the add legend tool, drag a box approximately where you want it. We're going to remove all the legend items except the DEM legend. Click on bend one height and click the minus to remove. Double click on DEM and change it to elevation so it's more human readable also for non GIS experts. Change the width to 5 millimeters and the height to 50 millimeters. Click the arrow to go back and double click on the color ramp. There we can add the suffix with the unit. It's always important to mention the units if you have values, so in this case it will be meters. Don't forget to add a space before. The widget will automatically detect the minimum maximum value but you can also manually override this. In this case it will use the minimum and maximum of the full DEM so not only of the catchment boundary. You can also change the orientation of the legend here from vertical to horizontal. It will keep it vertical but we change the direction with the minimum on top. That is because in our map the minimum values are also on top so it makes it a little bit more intuitive. Click the arrow to go back and uncheck the box for the background and finally place the legend in the position that it doesn't overlap with any other features on the map including labels and points. So in this video you've learned how to add a legend for a continuous roster.


Hey guys, welcome back to my YouTube channel Daniel Rossell here bringing you another video blog from my home office in Jerusalem I want to talk today about a topic that I think is of relevance to freelance writers But which I don't think gets the discussion that it deserves on Groups and freelance writing for even though it does crop up and now and again there And that's this issue of whether or not as a freelance writer You should allow your clients to use your byline in the work that you're produced now The first thing to say is that this question is really only of relevance to freelance content writers If you're doing freelance journalism, and that is definitely still a market It's definitely an it's very much an expectation that if you sell a piece of freelance writing to To either a print the few print Outlets that haven't gone under yet or to a website or to both that you're giving and that's usually spelled out in the in The contract as well Some minor exceptions to that might be if you're writing wire copy, and it's going to be not not individually Attributed such as maybe Jerusalem Bureau staff or whatever so but that's really an outlying exception So for journalism, it's the norm that you're going to be sending in something And it's going to be attributed to you as a freelance correspondent or writer Content marketing is a little bit different because when we're doing content marketing as freelance writers And it's really a much bigger market nowadays and I hesitate to say this because it's not an absolutism But it's probably a better remunerated market I've done a little bit of freelance tech journalism over the past few years, and I've been doing freelance Writing for seven so I've more experience at this point doing freelance content marketing And I periodically thought of a pitching articles. There's a very good website. I recommend anyone doing freelance writing check out It's called who pays writers I'll put the exact URL in the description to this video, but it's very very eye-opening if you look at what some Major household name publications are paying their freelance journalists And then you look at freelance technology writing which I have to say if you can get the right clients is a relatively well-paid field And it just doesn't stack up So I've mostly focused on content marketing for reasons of financial survival more than anything else in any event So by lined getting your byline in content marketing is a little bit of a sort of Outline situation because we are writing to promote the company So the companies don't it's not really in the interest of companies to have their content writers byline because companies probably Want to put out the image that you know, they have an in-house writer. They have a brand team They're not just just using freelancers. So that there can be a bit of give and pull on this one Now it's not you might think that well from the writer's perspective It's a no-brainer right if you could have by Daniel Rosal or by whatever your name is under a blog That's great brand recognition for the most part the answer to that is yes But there are reasons why and I'm just this is just kind of coming from my time working in the industry Reasons that may not become apparent until you've done this for a while that you may want to be a bit more selective So that's personally how I approach it. I am selective I don't say yes to everyone who asked to use my name on their marketing materials. I Specify in some cases. I don't want you to use my name. I've done that before as well It's a bit of unusual request, but clients have usually been okay with it So before we talk about the obvious advantages, why may you not want to lend permission to use your byline? Well Think about it when you're writing for an agency or a client You're not really the ultimate Typically, there's an editorial process you're gonna send in some writing Perhaps it's going to go to your agency editor then it's gonna go to the client and what might emerge on the internet or Print but that's we're talking content marketing. So let's keep it to the internet What might ultimately emerge onto Google might be a heavily modified version of your works It could in fact be butchered and as a writer your personal name is your brand identity and everything that you put out That has your byline on it people who randomly stumble upon that are gonna view that as a writing sample They're not gonna know the internal dynamics. Well, you know, this went through through your visions and this guy made a mess of it That's gonna be your name So that's one really important thing to consider is what's the editorial revision cycle gonna be like with your client Or is what you are going to put out as a draft actually gonna make it to the internet Alright, so that's the first thing the second thing is you know We've all taken on work and this goes back to the point about your name Your byline and for those who don't know I assume if you clicked into that video into this video You do know but for some reason you you don't know on your flummoxed a byline is that just it says by Daniel Rose So it's literally by line under the header of the articles comes from newspaper journalism and now it's using content marketing so We've all had to take on work as writers or marketers freelancers That's not the work. We probably would have loved to take on the most But it's what was out there and we need or we had a gap in our schedules Or it was really well paid or for whatever reason we just took the work now Those are the times where I'd say is this really aligned with what I want my personal brand to be so for me my personal branding I try to put out there as a marketing consultant and Formally as a writer because that was what I focused on for the first four years pretty much exclusively was I'm a technology expert So if a client in the world of business management came to me and said could you take on this project perhaps? I could perhaps I have experience in interest But it's going to dilute from my perspective the strength of my branding as a technology writer if I take that byline So when I when you put my name into Google I want you to get technology clips for that's my kind of overarching Personal branding strategy from a business perspective. So just be aware of that What's what's really the need that you're having success with what do you want the image you project? Your potential clients to be because one thing you can know for sure is that everyone's going to be running your name through Google If they're serious about working with you. So just bear that in mind Finally, it may be undesirable work for other reasons and I'll just kind of leave that one hanging in the air You know, but as I said, we all take on work that isn't necessarily the best work or our proudest work And sometimes if you say hey look, I don't this seems fine But I'm not sure I want my name on this that or might say I'll totally fine We'll attribute it it's effectively ghost writing then either to me They're at the content manager commissioning the pieces or to our in-house team the final reason and this is one You might not think about and that's why I want to do this video blog because I've had this happen multiple times I'm not going to name and shame any past clients But just to say this has occurred multiple on multiple occasions. That's when You do writing for a client and they want to reuse your piece over and over for SEO purposes So maybe they'll make a few changes and they'll update the publishing date now I've had this happening to me for the past year. I get RSS alerts that former client of mine has Republished and updated the date now that to me is very problematic because if I have let's say a current Contract of whether a competitor is saying I can't work for a competitor to the outside world Do that client it looks like I'm still writing for them and I'm not I've had this happen with newspapers I used to write for I've had this happen with clients I used to write for and I've tried to write to them and say hey Would you might not doing this, but you have to scrutinize your contracts? I definitely think it's a bad practice personally You know what happens if the writer has I don't know died or whatever right? There's all sorts of problematic situations that could arise in this But it is a common practice that content managers will for whatever reason use these automated systems to periodically Republish because there's so much emphasis in content marketing on reusing existing work So you'll definitely see this happening So that's another thing I'd be wary of and you could have an open conversation if you're you know It's a really big client for whatever reason for you you could say look I'm happy to let you use my byline, but I have a few reservations one you can't republish using my name To I don't want this to be bylined etc. Now they might say no they might say fine But you can definitely negotiate That's the beauty of freelancing you can negotiate any contract any terms you want the worst that can happen is that your potential client Will say will say no my as I said my personal practices I tried to give my byline unless there's a reason not to so and let me just finish on that point why it's a good idea to To put your byline so there is one former client I had called top 10.com or that was one of their websites and I used to write technology articles for that website Just by and that was one of the first times that someone said we want to use your byline And I used to say no every time actually I used to think well I'm doing ghost writing and the journalism is one thing and I don't want to muddy the waters I want everything I do That I write myself fully to be bylined and writing I do for clients is like a separate thing It goes through cycles. It's not really my own And then I said you know what this is it was a stupid principle as I started saying yes more So this website top 10.com me just having an author page there has probably resulted in Six inquiries over the past six years from people saying hey I saw you write reviews about this on top 10.com. Would you like to work for us? And the good thing is it can be a snowball effect that you can write for a relatively small publication and a bigger Publication can say because they're using Google as well, right? They'll say oh We'd look we'd love we'd love you to work from us Then you get your byline clips up on that website the next website the next website etc So it can be an invaluable way so the reason the reason for allowing clients to use your byline is that? It's a great inbound marketing tool now the final question that I've seen debated And it's not really something I think about doing but just as I'm doing a whole video about the pros and cons of Lending your byline to a client is right or some people will say well Should you charge extra for your byline? I've heard people saying saying that my my personal advice for what for what little it matters Is I would not recommend doing that. I can see the rationale that you know You're letting them use your brand identity. I can actually also see the rationale from the client side of going the opposite way saying well We're using our brand identity. So you should pay less for your byline. So both sides can argue their case I would not recommend charging extra unless you're like a celebrity And if you are a celebrity, I would say you might have better outlets for making money than a freelance writing So I wouldn't do it personally, but I have heard some people Advocating for that approach on these Facebook groups and subreddits, etc. I Hope my thoughts about lending bylines the pros and cons of doing it was were useful I would summarize this by saying I would personally recommend it It does drive inbound business you will find if you have your clips up there online for long enough I would say however just to do it do it a little bit cautiously Think about your brand identity think about whether each potentially bylined if you write for Six different clients and they're up on six different websites Have a think about whether each of them adds value or is congruent with your personal brand identity as a writer And I think you'll be on the course for managing those requests Juditiously and prudently Thank you guys for watching and if as as I end up every video by saying this if you do want to get more videos from me Please subscribe to this YouTube channel
