#BookoftheMonth Do you want loyal fans for your business? Want to know how to build a fanbase of loyal customers?

To explore how to develop loyal fans, I interview David Meerman Scott on the Social Media Marketing Podcast.

David is a marketer, speaker, and best-selling author. His latest book is called Fanocracy: How to Turn Fans into Customers and Customers into Fans.

David explains the neuroscience behind tribal identification and loyal fanbases, and shares three keys to developing fans using social media.

A Wall Street Journal best seller 

From the best-selling author of New Rules of Marketing & PR, a bold guide to converting customer passion into marketing power.

How do some brands attract word-of-mouth buzz and radical devotion around products as everyday as car insurance, b2b software, and underwear? They embody the most powerful marketing force in the world: die-hard fans. 

In this essential audiobook, leading business growth strategist David Meerman Scott and fandom expert Reiko Scott explore the neuroscience of fandom and interview young entrepreneurs, veteran business owners, startup founders, nonprofits, and companies big and small to pinpoint which practices separate organizations that flourish from those stuck in stagnation. They lay out a road map for converting customers’ ardor into buying power, pulling one-of-a-kind examples from a wide range of organizations, including: 

  • MeUndies, the subscription company that’s revolutionizing underwear 
  • HeadCount, the nonprofit that registers voters at music concerts 
  • Grain Surfboards, the board-building studio that willingly reveals its trade secrets with customers 
  • Hagerty, the classic-car insurance provider with over 600,000 premier club members 
  • HubSpot, the software company that draws 25,000 attendees to its annual conference 

For anyone who seeks to harness the force of fandom to revolutionize his or her business, Fanocracy shows the way.

This is How Much Jennifer Lopez and Shakira’s Music Sales Have Really Spiked Since Their Super Bowl Halftime Show | Showbiz CheatSheet

, , , , ,

Entertainers are not paid to headline the halftime show. The NFL does cover the costs of producing the show as well as a few other expenses for the artists but it does not give them an actual check after it’s all said and done. However, those who take the stage during the big game enjoy other perks, and Shakira and JLo are finding that out now. Read on to find out how much their music sales have spiked and which song has had the most downloads since.

After Lady Gaga’s halftime show in 2017, she saw a spike in her album sales by 1,980%. The following year, Justin Timberlake’s Spotify streams increased by 214%. And in 2019, Maroon 5’s halftime performance boosted the group’s sales by 434%.

According to initial sales reports via Nielsen Music, the songs performed during the show garnered a sales increase of 1,013% in the U.S. Collectively, those tunes sung by the women sold 16,000 digital downloads on Sunday, up from 1,000 sold the day before.

Billboard noted that the Puerto Rican and Colombian stars also saw an increase with the sales for the rest of the songs in their catalogs as well. Download sales in the U.S. reached 21,000 downloads on Feb. 2, up from 2,000 on Feb. 1.

LucidPix app turns photos into 3D, and Facebook feeds will never be the same – CNET

, , , ,

Whether you have a new phone like the iPhone 11 or an older one like a Motorola Moto G6 or iPhone 6S, you can now take 3D photos with your camera. It’s all thanks to a new app called LucidPix. Instead of requiring a special accessory or two rear phone cameras, the app uses artificial intelligence (AI) to render 3D photos that will move as you tilt and pan your phone.

LucidPix will be available on both iOS and Android later this year, though you can sign up now on the LucidPix website to get early access. The app will be free with a watermark embedded on your photo, but for $1 per photo it can be removed. The free version is aimed at casual users and lets people try the app out before paying for the “Pro” version. The Pro version includes unlimited use of the app for $6 per month or $52 a year.
