Cashak Magazine Expands Reach to 64 Million New Viewers
 
Press Release by: Cashak Magazine 

 

(openPR) - Cashak Magazine is known for being a stylistic and pioneering fashion magazine to the millions of English speakers on the internet. Today the online magazine adds a Spanish version to reach one of the largest and fastest growing segments of internet users. According to InternetWorldStats.com there are nearly 64 million Spanish speakers online. The same website cites Spanish as the fourth most used language on the internet. With the new Spanish version, Cashak Magazine grows its potential market to 375 million people. The website is available at: http://www.cashakmagazine.com/es

 

Spanish speaking viewers have access to the same original, first run content published in the English version of Cashak Magazine. The premium content includes high-definition fashion spreads, advice and tips from leading professionals in the beauty industry plus nightlife and fashion show coverage.

 

Cashak Magazine is a new fashion publication which embraces new thinking and ideas. Christopher Cashak, the founder of Cashak Magazine, holds the core idea that: “Fashion is meant to be seen, not read about in articles.” Cashak Magazine primarily tells fashion’s story through pictures. Cashak Magazine is the first fashion publication photographed entirely on location in high-definition, wide-screen format. The photographs are comparable to motion-picture productions, with fashion showcase and entertainment value. In the publication viewers will also find first-person interviews with leading professionals in the industry. Cashak Magazine produces 100% of its content, unlike most publications which recycle much of their material from news feeds and other media outlets. Nationally renown designers Request Jeans, Susan Di Staulo, Tiffe Fermaint, Cristina Bollardi, Rhonda Zayas, among others, were featured in the publication’s online preview.

 

Today, Cashak Magazine launches a Spanish version of its online publication to reach a large new and growing internet audience.

Mean Magazine

Mean 

 

by Amy Corr, Friday, March 24, 2006
OSCAR WILDE ONCE SAID that "Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months." This quote is emblazoned on the spine of the March/April issue of Mean magazine, the pub's first-ever fashion issue. Already I'm guessing Mean doesn't take itself too seriously.

 

Mandy Moore graces the cover in a low-cut white dress that makes me wish I were a betting woman, for I'd bet the house that a hefty amount of double-sided tape was used at that photo shoot. Interestingly enough, Moore's Q&A discusses her clothing line MBLEM, which focuses on "modest" offerings.

 

Mean is part music, part celeb Q&A, part fashion, and also correlates social world issues into the mix. For example, a front-of-book item discusses a California-based clothing line that uses politically-themed slogans on its T-shirts, and whose sales help impoverished children in Uganda.

 

The front of the book also contains car and tech-gadget reviews, but it was the story on artists using commercial products such as sneakers and snowboards to create contemporary works of art that interested me most. The story asked exactly what I was thinking: do I wear it or store it in a safe place?

 

Each celebrity profile runs in Q&A format, a layout that ideally suits the pub. I didn't like that multiple actors from the same movie were profiled, albeit they were distanced from one another. Both Mandy Moore and Seth Meyers were interviewed and both can be seen in the upcoming "American Dreamz." In addition, you'll find fellow actors Gabriel Mann and Sarah Polley in "Don't Come Knocking" and while each Q&A takes a different spin on the actors, I would have preferred a Q&A or update on actress Rachel McAdams to find out what movies she'll be starring in next.

 

The award for best Q&A goes to director Spike Jonze interviewing Nathanial Hornblower, director of countless music videos for The Beastie Boys. Readers of Mean would be privy to the fact that Nathanial Hornblower is a pseudonym/alter-ego of Adam Yauch, one third of the Beastie Boys.

 

"Hollywood Loves Dick" listed the breadth of sci-fi movies ("Minority Report," "Blade Runner," "Total Recall," "Paycheck," etc.) that evolved from ideas or short stories written by Philip K. Dick, a man that has been dead for 23 years.

 

The fashion portion of the magazine was nothing to write home about, although I did stare intently at the Louis Vuitton-branded chainsaw that actress Kristen Stewart brandished in one photo.

 

Mean's layout is striking and the Q&A format offers answers to questions not likely posed by the writers at Entertainment Weekly, such as how John Waters convinces his partners to accept his sexual quirks. Mean is aptly suited for those looking to keep their hands on the beat of underground music, offbeat movies and one-of-a-kind celebrity interviews. As for the rest of us, snappy inside jokes would be lost on us, and we'd end up feeling like we were the last to be picked in gym class.

Pundits Poo-Poo Google Print, Possibly Prematurely

Whoa, it seems that Google's first attempt to enter the print advertising world was not a hit right from the start.

 

http://www.searchengineguide.com/searchbrief/senews/007136.html

http://www.marketingpilgrim.com/2006/03/not-all-google-touches-turns-to-gold.html

http://www.businessweek.com/technology/content/mar2006/tc20060324_251660.htm

 

My, how quickly we are to condemn a first effort...! I was just reading an article today in 2/7/06 DM News about this and realized the vast potential of what Google is trying to do.

 

They should have purchased ad space in the same style as their on-line ads and put that up for bid right into AdWords. Small, deftly-worded ads that move from the online world to the off-line world complete with the Google brand. Once they make this kind of adjustment and stop trying to fit into the existing format they will have another winner, IMO.

 

It would be SO AWESOME to have our AdWords ads start to appear in newspapers and magazines like they do now on the content networks, and aside from the additional exposure, there's NO CLICK FRAUD! Plus we get to reach all those people that don't mind killing trees to get their daily fix of news.

 

I webmaster for a small Minnesota newspaper, The Watchdog News (http://www.watchdog-news.com) and I am going to suggest to the editor that we adopt the same type of ad format with content-related ads that you see from Google and other providers. Don't tell me I'm the only one that sees the potential here and the slap-your-head, simplicity of the concept...?

 

Hey, I dusted off the crystal ball, and guess what I just saw? HDTV sets in just about every home. No surprise there, but what DID take my breath away was seeing some content on those beautiful screens along one site of the screen and it looked to me to be damn 160x600 skyscraper ads!!! I couldn't make out if it was Gooooogle or Yahooooo! but I would lay some money on which one it will turn out to be... :-)

Relevant Magazine: Relevant?

Relevant

 

by Amy Corr, Friday, March 17, 2006
 A SERIES OF WORDS caught my eye on the cover of the March/April issue of Relevant Magazine: "God. Life. Progressive Culture" (the pub's tagline).... "2006 Spring Music Guide." Mentally naming as many Christian bands as possible (Jars of Clay, Switchfoot, Sixpence None the Richer, Creed, Ok. Scratch Creed.), I left my local bookstore with an overworked brain and Relevant in my hand.

 

The note from Editor and Publisher Cameron Strang immediately told me that Relevant is a magazine for young, liberal, technologically savvy (there are ads informing me how to get God on my iPod) and spiritually seeking individuals. Strang opined on the stereotypical view of Christianity: "I'm tired of being clumped in with stereotypical, suburban, materialistic Christianity." Translated: I get the hebee jebees when I see Pat Robertson on TV, too. Strang named Robertson and a certain leader as examples of how one side of Christianity (conservative) becomes the template for how all Christians are portrayed.

 

The front of the book, called Relevant Slices, drew me in with clichéd headlines such as "Thou Shalt Watch ABC" and "Does Jesus Really Rock?," then shot to musician blurbs and useless reader polls, and ended with a serious column about how to change society's perception of Christians. Writer John Fischer said it best: be respectable human beings first, and Christians second.

 

There's also a column by a newly divorced man who wrote about the difficulties of going through a divorce and having a "community" of support rallying around him.

 

The magazine hits a snag on a story about battling through depression. The story dealt less with faith and more about dealing with the disease, and would have fit better in the pages of Prevention.

 

I enjoyed the interview with Anne Rice, the author who now writes about God, not vampires. Contrary to what I've read in previous articles, Rice says her spiritual metamorphosis was not brought on by her husband's death; rather, it occurred beforehand.

 

The cover story on what happened to Sixpence None the Richer (record label drama) did not disappoint, but the 2006 Spring Music Preview did.

 

I was expecting a list of upcoming albums to be released, along with an occasional blurb, but what I found was a write-up on trends to expect. Guess what? There are other European bands that sound like Coldplay that are gaining an American fan base. Canadian bands not named Nickelback or Barenaked Ladies are emerging as artists on the rise. I feel misled.

 

The magazine did follow up with small snippets on many up-and-coming artists, which I clearly enjoyed more than the 2006 Spring Music Preview.

 

The magazine concludes with a boatload of music reviews, and a convenient chart rating the albums based on lyrics, music, and spiritual content.

 

Overall, Relevant has fallen off its editorial path: articles didn't mesh well with one another, segues from fun to serious content were awkward, and some of the stories were poorly suited for the publication. The magazine's intentions, however, remain right on track: be good to yourself, be good to others, and most important, don't force your religious and spiritual views onto others.

Press Release For Book That Shows Authors How to Promote Books With Podcasting. Huh?

New Book Shows Authors How to Promote their Work to Worldwide Audience with Podcasting

 

"Podcasting Your Virtual Book Tour" takes independent authors and publishers step-by-step through the process of creating a "virtual book tour" podcast, and distributing it online to millions of iPod users.

 

[ClickPress, Wed Mar 15 2006] Book tours and public readings are an important part of any newly published book's promotion and marketing. But not all authors are able to travel, due to time, money, or health constraints. "Podcasting Your Virtual Book Tour", by author and podcaster Kay Stoner, teaches authors and independent publishers how to create a virtual book tour with podcasting -- online audio that can be downloaded and listened to on a computer, or on an iPod.

 

Apple's iPod popularity has been phenomenal, by any measurement. According to RTE Business, "Apple Computer chief executive Steve Jobs says the company sold a record 14 million iPod music players in the fourth quarter, a leap from 4.5 million in the same period of 2004... The number of iPods sold far exceeded the 1.25 million Macintosh computers sold in the same quarter." However, listeners don't need an iPod to listen -- anyone on a computer that's connected to the internet and can download and listen to audio, can enjoy podcasts.

 

"I got the idea for podcasting a virtual book tour from watching C-SPAN's Booknotes program," says Kay. "Watching C-SPAN and seeing groups of people gathering to listen to authors talk about their books, I thought that if people like me are tuning in to television programs about book readings, they would also be interested in downloading audio of book readings."

 

With "Podcasting Your Virtual Book Tour", almost any author with a standard personal computer, a microphone, free audio editing software, and an internet connection can record a series of readings and then upload them to the internet as podcasts for all the world to hear. The virtual book tour experience can be just like a recorded "real-life" tour, with readings of selections from the author's work, audience participation, questions and answers, and other ambiance the author wishes to include.

 

This 98-page manual teaches authors how to plan their "tour" and script their readings, how to find the sound effects that add to the ambiance, how to put all the pieces together with free audio editing software, how to publish the audio as a podcast, and how to promote it for all the world to hear. With podcasting, an independent author can create their very own virtual book tour, on their own time, on their own terms, for very low cost with their own home computer.

Celebrities Join NASCAR's Jeff Gordon for Charity Poker Tournament and Online Auction

 

NASCAR’s Jeff Gordon Enlists Celebrities for Charity Poker Tournament and Online Auction

NASCAR Champion Jeff Gordon is hosting a celebrity poker tournament and online auction, which will both benefit The Jeff Gordon Foundation. Celebrities will donate their winnings as well as autographed memorabilia for the cause.

Grandview, MO (PRWEB) March 7, 2006 -- Four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon has teamed with 2003 World Series of Poker Champion Chris Moneymaker for a new series of world-class No-Limit Hold 'em tournaments that will benefit The Jeff Gordon Foundation, the official charity of the 2006 World Series of Poker. Satellite tournaments for the Jeff Gordon Foundation Poker Classic began in November at selected Harrah's properties, with the finals scheduled for March 7-8 at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas, Nev.

Shortly after The Jeff Gordon Foundation Poker Classic ends, a special online charity auction will begin at www.GoMotorBids.com, the official online auction site of Jeff Gordon, Inc. Collectors and fans will be able to bid on a variety of items from the actual tournament, as well as some very unique pieces of memorabilia that have been donated by celebrity participants. All of these items will be personally autographed by the stars, with the proceeds benefiting The Jeff Gordon Foundation.

The centerpiece of the auction will be an actual full-size poker table from the tournament. The table, custom made for the event, has been signed by Gordon and Moneymaker. Also on the virtual auction block will be a full-size hood from the promotional race car built for the movie Racing Stripes, which is signed by Gordon, Dustin Hoffman, Frankie Muniz, Jeff Foxworthy, Hayden Panetierre, Frankie Munich, David Spade, Steve Harvey and other stars who provided voices for characters in the popular movie.

Several other one-of-a-kind pieces of Racing Stripes movie memorabilia will be up for bid, including the actual saddle and jockey-jersey used by Hayden Panetierre while racing on “Stripes” the Zebra. Comedians Spade and Harvey have donated two hand-painted collector plates, which they personally designed and used at the Racing Stripes premier.

Gordon has donated a Goodyear Eagle tire to the auction, which was on his No. 24 DuPont Chevrolet Monte Carlo when he won the 2005 Daytona 500. Other noteworthy athletes who have signed and donated items are Tiger Woods, Peyton Manning, Tony Stewart, Venus Williams, Maria Sharapova, Arnold Palmer, and Annika Sorenstam.

A full list of items up for bid, as well as details about the auction, can be found on the GoMotorBids.com homepage.

Pixels Promoting Podcasts instead of Plain Promotional Penned Pleas

 

Promoting Podcasts with Dynamic Pixels instead of Plain Textual Links

Podcasts like blogs is one the fastest growth sectors on the web today, however how do you go about getting users online to click through just to listen to your podcast regularly and on the fly?

(PRWEB) March 1, 2006 -- Vogliamo, the media and pixel advertising network, officially launched its Podcast Pages (one of seventy targeted pixel advertising pages) this week. Podcast pages on Vogliamo are designed to promote programming of all kinds, by encouraging podcast advertisers to seamlessly stream their audio files from a block of creative pixel image links that appear within grids and relevant media content on the page.

Podcasting has immense potential to literally revolutionize the way people will consume audio and visual content programming online well into the future. The ability for anyone to launch a podcast is only just beginning, as podcasting tools becomes ubiquitous on the web at very low entry costs. A brilliant example of how podcasting is being utilized can be viewed at the University of Hawaii, where students are accessing a computer science 101 class as a podcast through their ipods, as opposed to accessing course work online or via text books.

Podcast Pages on Vogliamo(http://podcastpages.vogliamo.com) provides a unique media channel where reasonably sized pixel images on grids dedicated for advertising podcasts are seamlessly streaming audio or video files when a visitor clicks on the pixel image to listen to the podcast. This unique format of advertising achieves two main objectives, (1) the podcaster gets retentive daily exposure and image branding from visitors who will click to listen or watch the podcast after reading a few words of text that features dynamically in the pixel image (2) The visitor enjoys a stress free online experience through ease of navigation, by simply clicking on a pixel to listen to or watch several exciting podcasts from one page, as opposed to wandering tirelessly through numerous web pages just to download a podcast stream.

The great benefit of podcasting is that anyone can create audio or video programming that allows online consumers the opportunity to access entertaining or informative podcasts when they want it, wherever they want it and how they want it...period!

Vogliamo aims to develop an exciting pixel media channel that helps to promote podcasting as an exciting form of audio/visual creativity and artistic expression online. “An image essentially represents your corporate brand and can be communicated effectively through pixel advertising, as opposed to just plain textual links” says Robert Haastrup-Timmi Founder/CEO of Vogliamo.

The current beta period on Vogliamo, allows companies and podcasters to test effectiveness of promoting their programming using pixel advertising at a very low entry cost. Visit http://www.vogliamo.com for further information.
