Auto news on Youtube Nov 2 2017

- Coming up with new content ideas can be difficult,

especially if you're posting two blogs every single week

or if you're like me and then posting two new videos

every single week.

So how can you come up with new content ideas

without repeating the old ones?

In today's video, I'm gonna give you a couple strategies

on how you can come up with new content ideas

that your ideal audience is looking for.

Hey guys, welcome back to another episode

of Just the Tips.

My name is Trene if you are new here

and I help creative business owners like you get started

here on YouTube.

This is video two in a series I'm doing here on my channel

to help you come up with content ideas.

Last week, I shared 15 video ideas to help you

get started here on YouTube and today

I'm gonna share with you the ways I come up

with content ideas.

First way to come up with new content ideas

is to go to YouTube and I do this all the time.

I go to Google Chrome and I go into an incognito window.

This way YouTube isn't taking my previous search history

to effect my search results.

So then you just start typing in your video idea.

Start to type that into the YouTube search bar.

And YouTube's gonna prepopulate based on what people

are actually searching for.

And you can see like a wide list of ideas

that you can get from YouTube.

So that's the first way you can start coming up

with content ideas.

The second way to come up with new content ideas,

is go to Google Trends.

Just go to Google.trends.com and see what's trending

in your industry.

So if you're thinking about logging goals,

type that in, see if it's trending,

if it's gonna take off.

I know specifically coming up, Christmas is coming up,

so that's a tent pole event that's going to be taking off.

So maybe Christmas ideas for scrapbookers.

Christmas ideas for business owners.

And take a look at when that trend is taking off.

You wanna get your video out prior to the uprise

in that trend.

The third way is going to Google Keyword Tool Planner.

(laughing)

So this is one of my favorite ones.

Not only does it help me realize what the competition

is gonna be and how often that specific keyword

is searched a month, but it also spikes new content ideas

just by looking at the result it comes up with.

So you could type in any kind of keyword phrase in there

to see what Google has to say about

whether it's highly competitive, whether it's searched a lot

and then kind of just get some new ideas

based on other recommendations

that that tool has for you.

The next way to come up with content idea

is Facebook groups.

So I always like to do a poll in my Facebook group,

Video for Biz Crew, just to see what people want me

to talk about.

You could also post into a Facebook group,

"What are you struggling with x, y, z most?"

See what people are responding to.

Or even just go into a Facebook group,

go to that little search bar

and type in your niche, whether it's Instagram,

YouTube, blogging and see what questions

are popping up based around that key word.

And do a video on that.

And the final way is to look at what industry leaders

are doing.

So one of the industry leaders that I look up to,

a mentor of mine, is Tim Schmoyer of Video Creators.

So I take a look and see what types of videos he's doing.

Now I'm not going to copy those videos,

but I have a different spin on it.

I have a different audience,

I have a different way of teaching

and I have different thoughts on that topic.

So I'm gonna teach or share different content

than he would, but I know if he's talking about it,

that it's something that should be talked about

in my specific industry.

So who are some leaders in your industry?

Do they have a blog, do they have a YouTube channel

and what are they talking about that you could give

your take on?

So I wanna know how do you currently

come up with your content ideas?

Let me know in the comments section below.

Do you use Facebook groups?

Do you just ask on social media?

Let me now, I'd love to hear.

If you are a business owner and you're really starting

to think about incorporating video

into your business strategy,

make sure you click subscribe to this channel

because next week I'm going to be talking

about three specific strategies you can do

as a business owner for your videos here on YouTube.

Thank you so much for watching

and I'll see you in the next video, bye!

How to Buy an Engagement Ring | The Diamond Pro Guide - Duration: 4:42.

Hey there, I'm Ira Weissman.

And I'm Mike Fried.

At The Diamond Pro we have over 20 years of combined experience helping consumers get

the most value buying a diamond.

Are you planning on getting an engagement ring?

Well, by the end of this video you'll learn some great tips

on how to avoid getting ripped off.

So, first, let's talk about how to decide on what style and setting your engagement ring will be.

Picking a setting depends largely on the wearer's personal preference.

For example, the halo setting is made up of smaller diamonds circling a larger center stone.

This setting can be hard to clean, even harder to resize, and a wearer with an active lifestyle

runs the risk of losing the smaller diamonds.

In the midst of buying an engagement ring, these are the details that most people tend to overlook.

When searching for a diamond most people seem to dwell on the 4 C's:

cut, carat, color, and clarity.

We like to divide these into two distinct parts––the characteristics you want to

see in a diamond and those that you want to avoid.

I always recommend focusing on a quality cut over anything else.

A diamond can be cut to take on various proportions and shapes.

These proportions include table and depth percentage.

How light travels through and reflects from the facets

within a diamond is dependent on these proportions.

Shallow and deep cut diamonds allow light to escape, losing their sparkle, appeal, and value.

Simply put, more attention to a diamond's cut has a greater impact on its beauty.

It's important to note the difference between diamond shape and diamond cut.

The shape refers to the diamond's outline, such as round brilliant or pear shaped.

Cut refers to the facet symmetry, depth, and reflective qualities.

So, while a heart-shaped diamond may be cut shallow or deep, dull or brilliant;

the heart shape will remain constant.

Second to cut quality you will want to buy the largest carat weight that will fit within your budget.

When people boast about their diamond, they will usually mention carat weight.

But, keep in mind that a high carat weight does not always translate to a high quality diamond.

A poorly cut, yet higher-carat diamond can look smaller than an ideal cut, lower-carat diamond.

Now, there is absolutely no reason to overpay for color

when buying a diamond for your engagement ring.

The trick here is to choose a setting that will work best with the color of the diamond.

White diamonds are graded on a color scale which ranges from colorless to a light tint

of yellow or brown. However, different color grades can still appear the same

to the naked eye if mounted properly.

A lower-colored diamond can cost 30% less

while looking exactly the same in the ring.

Another area where you can sacrifice a little to save a lot is clarity.

Clarity measures the density of imperfections in a diamond.

The highest grade on the clarity scale, flawless, is awarded to the rarest

and most expensive diamonds.

A lower clarity diamond that is still clean to the naked eye will look identical

to a flawless stone.

This is how you'll get the best value - finding the lowest clarity diamond available

that is still eye clean.

Unfortunately, you can't know if a diamond will be eye clean by looking at it's certificate alone.

Previously, it was almost impossible to inspect for clarity online, but

thanks to modern image technology

from companies like James Allen and Blue Nile, examining clarity when diamond shopping online

is now possible.

When taking the 4C's into consideration, you will also want to ensure the diamond has

been certified by a reputable lab.

The lab will evaluate the diamond, take measurements, and grade on the 4 elements

that we spoke about today.

We do recommend buying AGS or GIA lab graded diamonds

as they are the most respected lab in the industry.

Before you go, we want to test out your eyes a little bit.

Here are two diamond rings:

One ring costs $2,200, while the other is almost double, costing $4,000.

Can you tell the difference between the two?

Take a second to guess which one is more, take your time, it's OK, I can wait [Pauses].

This F-color, flawless diamond set in platinum is the more expensive ring costing

$4,000. Compared to this -- HSI2 in white gold, which is almost half the price.

No one wants to start off their engagement with the feeling of being ripped off.

Always remember that our team of experts at The Diamond Pro is here to teach you how to spot a scam.

We've worked for years going undercover as engagement ring shoppers to

scoring each jeweler on price, customer service, and more.
