I can hear you!

We are all muted at this point, I believe

I can hear you too… we’re supposed to be on mute

The email said 9 MST.

I believe you're right ... it is arizona time

I accidentally hung up and now it won’t let me join the call again

Any ideas to get back on?

I've never called in, so I'm not sure. There is an app you can download if you're on a phone?

I can hear Stephen Lee and Amy but no conference. I'm in Louisiana and I don't know if it is a time issue, or the originating source is not up.

We aren't sure if we are an hour early or what's happening.

Well I got back on the call but I don’t think anyone can hear me

Hello, this is Renée. My email actually said 10 a.m., but Nikki’s said 9.

Pretty sure they meant 9 a.m. Arizona time so it’ll be a good half hour before this thing starts.

Chris are you still there?

The email I received said:When: Fri Apr 26, 2019 9am – 10:30am Mountain Standard Time - Phoenix

Is it just me, or is there no meeting happening?

Arizona does’t use daylight savings time. So right now it is 8:43 Sierra Vista. When they send invites it’s always in Arizona time.

we got another 15

Ok. I figured as much.

Someone has a video going

everyone might wanna check that the video icon has a red line through it.

What if you’re an exhibitionist at heart?

uh sure

lol

Pretty sure some with the video on don’t realize it is on. :)

Mine can't detect the camera

Question: Do we have a fix for the Notifier function in TownNews so we can promote our scheduled stories to our social media (specifically Facebook) without babysitting it throughout the day?

Alessia and Sean are following that. We have two website - Green Valley and Sahuarita - it works on one, not the other. David wouldn’t be dealing with that, but we all know it’s a very big issue and they’re going after it.

Ok. Thanks!

We used to have print edition out first with reefers to web for additional content. Since web comes out first, is there something it can refer to the print edition?

Can we get a copy of some of the slides? We can't read the text on this one.

At previous organizations, we always referred heavily from web breaking or updates to print for the fuller version of the story, then delay the print edition story from web until after 8 a.m. so we got the morning burt.

Great! Thanks!

Burst.

We have been the reverse. Space is limited.

Sometimes you have to be. It’s a story-by-story basis.

Headline=SEO keywords. Geography is a must.

I had a question at training the other day. Does the keyword order matter for SEO? For instance, does Google pick up only the first 5 keywords?

i dont think order matters

Good thing with TCMS we can have a difference between web headline and print headline.

No order matters or amount

the more the better :

):)

I write headlines on the page to fit space. Does Town news update from that workflow stage/

?

If you are directly connected to TCMS from Indesign the changes that you make InDesign should update the web

k

no

sidebars?

we use Q&A for politicians and arts & entertainment featured performer

Q&A’s get high readership, can be turned in a lot less time and cut to the heart of the topic. We do ours through email, for the most part.

no

what age group are you looking for? My son at age 25 shows me his "tic Tok" social media stories

How are we supposed to put all these tags and things if we go through Blox instead of directly posting?

Our community is working to build tourism, the more visits to the community, the more they return or move into the community. But recently stories about the festivals where international visitors are present, because of the paywall, they could not read stories unless they subscribed. How can those stories of tourist be read who may not want to signup for subscriptions?

BLOX had a tab I think I saw onTuesday training and some automation that makes creating keywords easier.

ty

BOLX creates keywords, but does not tag them in your posts. Unless TownNews does another update, those hashtags will have to be done manually after publishing to social media.

BLOX, not BOLX.

what's a good frequency on e-newsletter blasts? is that something that can be oversaturated?

When you create an Article asset and do not add Keywords/Tags, Blox will automatic add words from the body copy depending on the percentage confidence for search

Now, I would suggest you add to Keywords to make it more local

At times, Blox will not know to pick the best keywords

I respectfully disagree with that answer.

which answer?

about oversaturation

In Notifier you can make the title different for social media posting where you can add the #hashtags

Autonomy on that one. Nobody knows your audience like you do.

We used to shoot for an a.m. day starter email, a late morning update, a mid-afternoon/pre-evening slot and an evening email, focused on nightlife/events. Subscribers can choose the ones they want. Then you add in your breaking news blasts as needed.

Do these newsletters come with ads?

They should. Each content piece should provide a sales platform as well.

Wick Newsletters have 300x250 ad positions

What separates newsletter from other platforms?

Thanks, David! Great information.

thanks, David!

Think of newsletters as a completely different vertical.

Thanks David!

Thank you David
