We've all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is part we choose to act on . That's who we really are
I’ve always admired roses
But not for their color
There’s something about them
That I haven’t yet discovered
Yet everyone tells me
That I’m looking into deep
That it is just a flower
Just a little prize you can keep
But yet there is something special
About the roses that you see
And It’s not about the petals
It’s about the thorns to me
It puzzles me how something
So beautiful and rare
Can cut you so deep
And you wouldn’t even care
I don’t know much about
how to label the things i feel.
all i know is that
when i look at the sky,
i see freedom.
when i look at the dirt,
i see breakthrough.
when i look at the ocean,
i see serenity.
and when i look at you,
i see everything.
I’m going to love you in your weakest moments to your strongest ones.
I’m going to love you when you’re happy and I’m going to still love you the most when you’re sad. Don’t you understand? I’m here, and I’m not going anywhere I want to love you, each and every piece of you. I want you with your imperfections as much as I want you for you.
And I’m always going to be here loving you with everything.
When i was little, i used to watch raindrops sliding down the care window. i thought that perhaps they were racing to get across the finish line. i noticed the way the idle droplets were rescued by their brothers colliding into them and propelling them forward.
now that i’m older , i watch people . and i wonder why we are all still pretending that we don’t need others to nudge us to keep moving forward when we get a little stuck along this journey we call life.
Don’t aim to be understood by others before you understand yourself. People may never understand your intentions. You know them. They never understand why you do what you do or say what you say. You know the reasons. They may never understand why you treat them the way that you do, or why you treat others the way that you do. You know why .
They may never understand the words that you say or the language your eyes speak. You understand these languages because you create them. They many never understand the strength it takes to be the way that you are. You know your weaknesses and your struggles, and you are the one who works so overcome them, so your strength means more to you than it could ever mean to anyone else.
It really isn’t about what they understand by just looking at you. It’s about what they want to understand, and if they really want to, they won’t assume. They will ask.
The free bird leaps
on the back of the wind
and floats downstream
till the current ends
and dips his wings
in the orange sun rays
and dares to claim the sky.
But a bird that stalks
down his narrow cage
can seldom see through
his bars of rage
his wings are clipped and
his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing.
The caged bird sings
with fearful trill
of the things unknown
but longed for still
and his tune is heard
on the distant hill
for the caged bird
sings of freedom
The free bird thinks of breeze
an the trade winds soft through the sighing trees
and the fat worms waiting on a dawn bright lawn
and he names the sky his own.
But a caged bird stand on the grave of dreams
his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream
his wings are clipped and his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing
The caged bird sings
with a fearful trill
of things unknown
but longed for still
and his tune is heard
n the distant hill
for the caged bird
sings of freedom
I was never meant
to be kept in a
cage or anything
that resembles one.
I was never meant
to be trapped or
enslaved by anything.
including my fears
or my addictions.
I am not just meant
to fly…I am
meant to soar.
I must remember to
never let anything
enslave me. My life
is too important.
I am brave girl
I was born to fly free.
So many people walk this earth,
With purpose in their eyes,
But in their heart of hearts they know,
What they’re living is a lie,
The alarm goes off at 6am,
Like every other day,
So they can walk into a job they hate,
Because they need the pay,
All time does is take from them,
But it never seems to give,
Always waiting for the day to come,
When they finally start to live,
I’m all too scared that one day soon,
I’ll become just like the rest,
Only walking with crowd,
Because my dreams have been oppressed,
That one day I’ll look back on life,
At the opportunities that I missed,
And realize I never truly lived,
All I did was just exist.
Are you taking full advantage of your Amazon product detail pages? As a vendor, one of the biggest factors to increasing conversion rates on your product detail page is the inclusion of Amazon A+ Content. Amazon’s own research and analytics shows that A+ Enhanced Marketing Content increases product sales by an average of 3-10%, giving brands a big advantage in a competitive retail space.
Amazon A+ Content is available to first-party (1P) vendors and allows them to add high-quality images and comparison charts to their product descriptions, boosting conversions with more detail, and persuasive content that goes way beyond text on a page. Third-party (3P) sellers using Seller Central can take advantage of high impact content through Enhanced Brand Content.
.Advantages of Amazon A+ Content
Everyone knows that pictures are more persuasive sales tools than simply text on a screen, but there are some unique advantages of Amazon A+ Enhanced Marketing Content:
Enhance your brand. With Amazon A+ Content, your product detail pages can be more visually consistent with your brand, and reflect more of your brand messaging. Bringing your branding to your Amazon product pages increases recognition and brand loyalty, and it’s an important benefit of using A+ Enhanced Marketing Content.
Create comparison charts. Amazon often adds a product comparison widget to product pages, helping consumers make the right product choice for them. With A+ Enhance Marketing Content, you can create your own comparison charts to help educate and inform consumers yourself. Your charts cannot compare your product with the competition, but it’s a fantastic way to showcase your related products and feature comparisons within a single ASIN. Charts can help consumers choose the right product within your brand family. This often prevents customers from navigating to another brand’s product page.
A+ Content – Comparison Chart
Stay competitive. If your competition is selling their products with slideshows, and interactive charts, it’s a good idea for you to step up and do the same.
Is Amazon A+ Content Right for You?
Before you begin adding A+ Content to all your ASINs, it’s important to consider how each product fits into your overall marketing strategy, and evaluate your needs accordingly.
Do you qualify?
In the beginning, A+ Enhanced Marketing Content was only open to Amazon vendors (1P), not sellers (3P). However, Amazon has significantly expanded the program since its inception, and the rules have changed. Today, Amazon offers A+ Enhanced Marketing Content for first party vendors on Vendor Central and Enhanced Brand Content for third-party sellers on Seller Central. A third-party Amazon seller is only eligible if they’re brand-registered. Vendors and sellers have different levels of enhanced content available to them, with different numbers of modules and content types.
Do you have the right ASINs?
Creating Amazon A+ Enhanced Marketing Content takes time, and might even cost you money if you need to create new content and material for your A+ detail pages. This is an investment in your product, your brand, and your position in the minds of Amazon shoppers. It’s important that you invest in the right products for your Enhanced Content, to make the most of the program.
Choose a product with the right margin. Depending on your production costs to create high-quality enhanced marketing content, you will be investing in marketing each ASIN. Assuming you can boost conversions by 3-10%, how long will it take for A+ Content to pay for itself on that ASIN? Assess your existing marketing assets along with the costs (internal and external) to create new content. This will help you figure out which products make the most sense for the budget.
Choose a product with the right features. An ASIN with strong differentiators, complex features, or a compelling story lends itself to enhanced content. A simple product that doesn’t require detailed explanation, zooms or exploded images, or doesn’t lend itself to feature comparison probably isn’t the best choice for A+ Enhanced Marketing Content.
Choose a product with the right traffic. Amazon A+ Content may offer a slight uptick in SEO, but shouldn’t be relied upon to boost traffic. Choose an ASIN where you can focus on converting the traffic you already have, and where your channel marketing efforts will pay off the most.
Your A+ Content is as important and visible as any other marketing content you create, and therefore should be treated as such. Here are some things to keep in mind when gathering assets for A+ Content.
Look after the details. With Amazon A+ Content, you don’t have real-time control over your product pages. It can take Amazon a week or more to correct Typos, omissions, and mistakes you catch after publishing your A+ Enhanced Marketing Content. Be thoughtful and plan carefully. It’s a good idea to have multiple people proofread and double check your content before publishing. Also, don’t forget to optimize A+ Content for mobile.
Design to spec. Whatever template or module you use, Amazon provides resolution, dimensions, and other guidelines that should be followed closely. Read and review the guidelines carefully. This ensures that your marketing assets look as good on your Amazon pages as they do on your monitor.
Closing Thoughts
Amazon A+ Enhanced Marketing Content can be a powerful way to increase sales and revenue through Amazon. But it’s not just about boosting conversions; it’s also about boosting your brand. With enhanced detail pages, you can more effectively communicate your value proposition and your brand identity. As a result, you will turn Amazon shoppers into your loyal customers. These incredible tools should be used thoughtfully and strategically to make the most of your relationship with Amazon and your customers.
