Simply put, media monitoring is the act of tracking topics across print, online, and broadcast media output.

In Public Relations (PR) and Communications it is important to measure the success of your campaigns, deal with a crisis quickly, and listen out for negative publicity. All of this can be achieved by effective media monitoring.

Brands are getting on board with media monitoring to an extent of purchasing tools and hiring media monitoring firms to observe issues that directly concern them.

Here are 11 reasons why you need to consider investing in media monitoring:

1. Get information in real-time

In this digital era, you can’t afford to wait for long to get information. There are media monitoring tools that offer real-time alerts. A case in point is Google Alerts. These allow you to be at the front of your competetion and get the information you need for in-moment marketing opportunities or to manage a crisis before it even starts.

2. Save time through automation

This is especially important when you’re heavy laden with work as a PR or communication professional. By using online tools like Socialbakers, Keyhole, Brand24 and Sprout Social among others, you’re able to get your social media analytics in no time, saving you from lengthy manual processes.

3. Get actionable and measurable insights

You not only want to monitor the media coverage you are receiving, you should also be looking for insights into the coverage. Insight is crucial as it provides an opportunity to improve your PR and prove value in a measurable way for reports. Different social media platforms provide insights that enable a user to know how well they’re fairing in the social race – Twitter Analytics, Facebook Insights, and YouTube Analytics are the most common.

Media monitoring tools now provide graphs that clearly visualize insights data over a specific time period, sentiment analysis of individual metrics or general coverage, and maps displaying the geographical origins of coverage.

Having a media monitoring tool that provides data insights will save time and unnecessary data entry.

4. Cross-platform monitoring

To fully understand the impact of your public communications efforts, it’s important to not only keep an eye on the daily headlines but also be able to monitor as many different sources of media as possible, across media platforms including social media, blogs, online news, and broadcast.

When looking for a media monitoring tool, you need to find a tool that can monitor various media platforms. This can also go a long way in showing you what platforms appeal to your target audiences the most. If there are specific publications you need to monitor that aren’t available, you can often request for sources to be added. But if this is not possible, then you can look elsewhere for a tool that fits your requirements.

5. Brand reputation

A brand’s reputation – how the particular brand is viewed and perceived by its publics, is its most vital resource and good media monitoring helps protect it.

Media monitoring enables you to stay on top of threats to your brand’s reputation. It can help you to develop your reputation further by keeping you on top of what’s being said about your brand and who’s saying it.

Data and sentiment insights into the media coverage you are receiving will also provide a simple overview of how your brand is perceived.

6. Monitor your competitors

Competitors just like brand reputation need to be monitored. Effective media monitoring can help you track your competitor’s publicity efforts like press releases, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) product launches, promotions, corporate events, and media coverage. This will enable you to you to make more informed decisions as to how and where you compete.

7. Manage crises effectively

It takes years to build a good reputation for a brand, but it only takes moments to destroy it. So, it is imperative to react quickly and be proactive in your recovery when faced with a crisis.

Real-time media monitoring allows you to keep ahead of the press and manage PR without any abrupt surprises. As such, you might be able to avert a looming crisis or come up with the perfect response to get out of it safe and sound.

8. Measure the effectiveness of public campaigns

Media monitoring can enable you monitor your campaign and provide measurable data to prove value. This will facilitate a greater understanding of the positive impact and success of campaigns.

9. Track success and sentiment

This directly points to campaigns and organizational activities. Companies for instance hire media monitoring agencies to track the success of their adverts.

It is vital to have access to, or receive, up-to-the-minute information if you are tracking success. Real-time alerts are a fantastic resource to give you moment by moment feedback on your efforts.

Timely knowledge facilitates a continuous learning process, enabling you to develop and optimize your PR and communications output.

10. Find new business opportunities

Media monitoring is an invaluable tool if you are scoping out new business opportunities. Tracking other industries will allow you to spot a gap in the market and be aware of potential competitors.

11. Understand and utilize trends

By being able to follow trends in the media in real-time you can better inform your campaigns, content, and social media.

Social media monitoring can help you understand what really engages your customers, informing you in how to up your click-through rate (CTR) on your social pages. Keeping an eye on viral trends will also facilitate smart in-moment marketing opportunities and quick responses to what’s happening in the world around you.

My research revealed one of the best ways to repel a female partner is to make weird noises during the act. No woman wants a man who’ll out compete her in the scream game.

Its also a very good idea to try and last longer than a minute. Its no news that a man who can not perform for long isn’t a good match for any woman out there. Women have even cheated on their husbands for this very thing.

I know you have hard about statements like size doesn’t matter, well that’s a lie. Size does matter, no woman wants to be all turned on and then see a very tiny -short thing.

The other thing is when getting intimate its always good when a guy tries and spent a little more time on a give position. This thing of changing positions each and every time automatically makes us hate the act.

There is no way a woman will enjoy the act with you commanding her to do things. Depending on the mood, it can be a massive turn on to have the man be dominant in bed. But there’s a difference between being dominant and being controlling. One signal that will tell you if you’re crossing the line is if you direct her into a position you’ve never tried before, for your pleasure only. The key to being dominant is to tell her to do things that you’ve both tried and both enjoyed before.

Some men always go too hard on the woman’s clitoris. There’s nothing worse than a clitoral attack. Surprise, surprise, but the clitoris is actually highly sensitive and if you rub or, god forbid, jackhammer it too hard this will just end up being painful and not at all pleasurable.

Instead, let her guide you. Start slow, either by touch or oral stimulation, and work your way towards more pressure. If she moves your fingers aside, this means you’re going too hard and she needs you to be softer.

When you keep on going back to that body part she is most conscious about. Every woman has part of their body they are highly self conscious of. Whether it be their stomach or things, constantly touching these areas will turn her right off.

Instead, in between love making, tell her why you love this body part of hers so much. It will help instill a quiet confidence in her and she will gradually become more open to you touching this particular part.

When you are first starting out in a long term relationship, you never imagine it will be so hard to get along. As time goes on, you begin to see predictable patterns of behavior that can either complement each other or tear you apart.

There are some major differences between men and women that, when you look at them separately, understand the reaction and behavior that results from them, and can let your better half be your better half. These are the major differences that if you can just accept and learn to let go.

Men can only focus on one thing at a time, whereas women can multitask. If you give a man more than one task, he will either have ten projects started and never finished, or he will only do one at a time.  Women, on the other hand, can work on ten different projects at once. They can go from one task to the next and pick up where they left off with ease.

Problems can arise when a guy turns inward rather than being able to deal with multiple problems at once. When he becomes muddled down with something, he is unable to see anything else that is going on around him. Even if the kids are crying and falling, he can just sit at the computer and not notice anything else.

It’s important to realize that he most likely isn’t doing this on purpose. He’s just not wired to pay attention to everything going on around him when he’s engrossed and working on another project.

Men show love, whereas women voice love. When a woman is in love with someone, she can’t stop talking about it. A guy is not the same. When he is in love with a woman, he won’t tell everyone around him. Instead, he will do things for her.

Not knowing how to voice their own emotions, men often get quiet in response. If you realize that a woman is wired to communicate in a verbal way, while a man is wired to protect and help the lady he loves, that will make it much easier to spot the signs of love on both ends.

Men are typically visual creatures when it comes to sex ,women not so much.Most women get very offended to find that their man has been blowing up their computer watching porn. No matter how much a guy insists that he doesn’t watch it, he does. Men are very visual creatures when it comes to sex. They need to fantasise more than most women do, and become turned on by just seeing sexual acts.

Women are more focused on the emotional side of a sexual act. To get in the mood, they need a good mix of erotics and some form of emotional connection. Remember it isn’t that women don’t get excited by porn, but rather, they just need more than the visual experience.

If you want to stop the arguing about his porn-watching habits, try making your own sex tapes and send them to him. Likely, if you give him movies of you, he will get just as turned on watching you do naughty things as he does when he watches porn. If you want to get your woman in the mood, cover her with kisses and praise for all she does for you. Emotionally stimulate her.

Women are concerned about the emotions and feelings of others, whereas men are concerned about their hunger and basic needs. Women truely spend a good majority of their time worrying about their children, their husband, some person they read about in the paper, what their mother-in-law was trying to get at when she made the remark about her cooking. A guy worries about what he is going to have for lunch and whether his wife is going to be in a good mood so that maybe he can have sex.

A woman is always on edge, she believes that the weight of the world rests on her shoulders. In the reverse, a guy worries about very little. In fact, he barely looks at any situation unless it is right in his face. That can leave a woman feeling like she wants to explode on a guy for seemingly no reason at all.

Unfortunately, sometimes you have to have thick shoulders and realize she may need your help. As a woman, it’s important for you to understand that he isn’t upsetting you on purpose. He has no idea about all the nonsense that is going on in your mind. He can’t see the worry, or the stress that you’re constantly enduring.

Knowing why men and women do what they do, and trying not to ascribe intention to what your mate does can help you get along much better with your better half. Women can’t help the way that they are wired any more than men can, but by helping each other better understand your needs and wants in life, the two of you can certainly live in blissful harmony together.

The world of healthy living starts with healthy eating. If you are willing to make a few small changes in your diet then you will be able to shed all those extra pounds.

Therefor here are some 10 ways that can help you choose a healthy living lifestyle by making small changes in your diet to help you loose weight.

Do not skip breakfast

If you are skipping your breakfast for the sake of losing weight then you need to really think again. Not having your breakfast actually intensifies your hunger. You will end up wanting more food than usual in your next meal. Follow a method of having the same meals every single day. Repeating the same meal helps you lose all those extra pounds. Your body also adapts more easily with the same nutrition that you are having. Include nuts and fruits like banana in your breakfast diet regime. So please remember not to skip your breakfast tomorrow.

Do some sit ups during commercials

When you are on a diet you need to at least help yourself.  Next time when you are watching your favorite show, keep the remote far from the reach of your hand. Next step is taking the time off during the commercial hours to do some more stretching. Do whatever that would make you feel light like simply skipping, dancing, or even moving up and down the stairs. Keep on pushing yourself until you run out of breath.

Learning how to say no to fatty food will also help you.

We all know the irresistible factor of all the creamy delicious foods we see at the bakeries. It is a bit tough to get rid of our sweet carvings instantly, but it is not altogether impossible. List your favorite food items and mark those items that you possibly cannot stay without. Now cut down one food item short of the list.

That way, week after week you will be able to cut down in your cravings one at a time. Your body will also be able to cope up with the changes. Now start including fruits, vegetables in your diet. Start slow and you will notice the difference soon enough.

Take the stairs

Most of us get too lazy to take the stairs. All thanks to the wonders of technology. Next time skip the lift if you seriously looking to lose weight. Take the stairs. You should at least be climbing stairs for two to three minutes every single day. It miraculously helps in losing more pounds than you could ever expect.

Walk as much as you can

Next time when you are on your shopping therapy do make sure to take walks alongside. Do this simple trick next time you go out. Do not park your car in the usual parking lot. Instead park it a mile away from where you are headed to. That way when you are getting back, you will get to walk that extra mile, sweat it out and lose some pounds.

Enjoy every bite

Enjoying and savoring every bit of what you eat curbs your hunger. When you sit down to eat do not gobble down you food. Instead start with a small bite and chew it down slowly taking your time. When you take the time to enjoy every bite, you tend to feel more satisfied and filled. Doing this routine won’t let you reach out for more food; instead you will be happy and contented.

Include fruits in your diet.

All the dieticians will ask you to include fruits in your diet and why not? Fruits are wholesome and healthy. Having fruits daily will not only improve your skin texture but will also keep your stomach and brain engaged. Including fruits in your diet and having it in small portions throughout the day will help you stay energized as well. Eating the fruits will keep you satisfied for longer hours.

Drink lots of water

Everybody knows the essentials of drinking water. It’s been tried and tested over the years that drink two cups of water before you start eating your meal will help you lose weight. It tricks your stomach into believing that your stomach is full and making you eat lesser than usual. So drink more water and stay healthy.

Treat yourself sometimes

Dieting does not mean starving yourself to death. Everyone is entitled to let their guilty take over them once in a while. Treating yourself to small treats once in a while won’t harm you. Just remember to keep certain limitations for the treats. Try to include food items that have not more than 150 calories.

Include fish in your diet

Having fish is very healthy. Skip the red meat and instead opt for fish. It is filled with Omega-3 properties that helps in boosting one’s memory and fight against inflammation in the body. It keeps you not only light but also keeps you satisfied for long hours together.

These are some of the few small changes that you can make in order to help you lose weight gradually . Small contributions each day makes up for greater changes, so take small steps every that will help you yield great results tomorrow.

If you are one of those women too who are finding it really hard to lose weight, then this is the right article for you. We have delved into some of the common reasons why we find it a little harder to get rid of those extra pounds.

Sometimes women go overboard with healthy food

We all know that they key to losing weight is in simple mathematics. If you are burning more calories than what you are consuming, you will be losing those pounds. In order to achieve that goal, most of us start eating healthy. when you start to eat very healthy food with out controlling the portion, you will not lose weight.

All those nuts and avocados are no doubt filled with good fats but not controlling the portion size will actually lead to more troubles. Concentrate on the serving sizes to ensure that you are having the right amount of calories.

You have a sluggish thyroid

Many of you are blissfully unaware that you might have an under active thyroid (hypothyroidism). When this happens, it will severely disrupt your metabolism and you may find it much harder to lose weight. There might be other associated problems too like fatigue and hair loss and the best treatment would be to get your thyroid fixed. It becomes much easier to regulate weight once that is done.

PCOS(Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) might be wreaking havoc with your system

Another one of the common problems that most women suffer from but are unaware of, PCOS creates havoc with your hormones and there is a prevalence of male hormones in your system. As such, you might gain weight suddenly and might find it harder to get rid of. Consult your doctor when you see male pattern balding, or you might feel that you are getting a lot of acne and there is inexplicable weight gain. It might be an onset of PCOS.

You are not sleeping enough

The key to losing weight in a healthy fashion is to get enough sleep. If you are exercising a lot, your muscles need a lot of recovery time. As such, you need sleep for at least 8 hours for proper recovery. Even in case of non-exercising adults, a good night’s sleep is essential and crucial for the proper functioning of the body.

Some of your medication can also be blamed

Any kind of pills that we have might have a side effect for example family planning medication and as such, we may end up gaining weight. Certain allergies which require steroids might lead to unnecessary weight gain. In such a case, you should go visit your doctor and ask them for another medicine which can be an alternative to your prescribed one. If not, you will have to be extra careful of what you are eating and the amount of exercise you get each day.

Skipping breakfast

The cardinal sin when it comes to not losing weight is skipping breakfast. They say that the heaviest meal of the day should be your breakfast because this is how the body fuels and prepares itself for the day. To jumpstart your metabolism, it is essential that you get the right amount of breakfast. Many studies have in fact found that people who have breakfast regularly are the ones who lose weight.

Now, if you are wondering why as a woman you are finding it hard to lose weight, then you may be guilty of the above reasons! Make sure you follow a healthy diet and a right kind of lifestyle for being your fittest self.

To be able to have a great relationship with a female, you need to first understand the rationale behind the things they do. Here are some of those things that may help you understand her even better:

We often handle our emotions completely differently than you do. If a man is feeling angry or frustrated, he may go play ice hockey, and slam some people into the boards. He may go start a fight in a bar. Men often act out their emotions, rather than express them gently through words.

However we, often express our emotions verbally. We talk about our feelings to our friends, we talk about our problems to our families. We may even seek the listening ear of a stranger we happen to talk to. Sometimes, you may even wonder how we have so many emotions, but we do. And we are much more likely to process them differently than you will.

We need bathroom buddies. For men, going to the bathroom is almost always a solitary experience. In fact, asking another man to accompany you to the bathroom could seem highly suspicious to the average dude.

However for us, we just love to go to the bathroom together. We do this for two reasons. First, we usually synchronize our breaks so as not to miss out on any of the conversation. And two, we like to gussy up when we go to the bathroom, so we like having a female friend around to tell them if our outfit looks okay or if we can borrow some lipstick.

Men and women don’t always share the same taste in movies. While you may love your action movies, WWI documentaries and your male humor comedy movies, it’s going to be difficult to convince your girlfriend that these are the best types of movies out there.

Women usually prefer romantic comedies, sappy love stories like The Notebook or movies that have a strong female lead. Although these movies may seem pointless and way too dramatic for your taste, women tend to be drawn to movies that center on people and their individual emotions, as opposed to the collective experience of a certain event.

Women will talk about you to their friends. Remember how women express their emotions through talking? If you are just starting to date, or are hooking up with a girl, she will talk about you to her friends because they love to process things together.

We like to get the feedback and support from our friends, while also asking them for some inside information on our experience with a particular situation. While you may keep your hookups or your dating life more private to avoid being the guy who kisses and tells, there is a fat chance that your female counterpart won’t do the same. This is probably what they are doing in the bathroom together for so long.

We love to cuddle. Although cuddling may seem annoying or unnecessary to you a lot of the time, many of us females love it. Remember, women tend to be nurturing and affectionate, and they like to reinforce their bond with another person. This is why cuddling tops the list of many a woman’s favorite things to do.

We love all things cute. It may be extremely difficult for the average guy to comprehend, but women can be completely obsessed with anything that they consider cute. It could be a handbag, a pair of shoes, or even a color of paint.

If the particular thing passes through our cute filters, we will most likely love it, and want it. You may not have any idea why one pair of shoes is cute, and the next is “ew.” But we do, and we are going to act accordingly, so be prepared.

Most women want commitment. Although committing to a girl might be a big fear of yours, the chances are that the girl you are dating wants commitment. Women don’t like to feel like they are being used for their bodies, or that they are just another passing fancy. They want their emotional investments to be more worthwhile than just another one night stand.

Women love weddings. Going through an expensive, elaborate, stressful wedding might not be your favorite thing in the world, but chances are your girlfriend or fiancée has been dreaming of this moment ever since she saw her first Disney princess movie.

We love to fantasize about the perfect dress, the beautiful diamond ring, and getting married in front of all of our friends and family. Being a bride can be an extremely special thing for a woman. So, even if you are stressed out by all of the proceedings, it may be best not to show it. The wedding is always the most important moment of our entire life.

Women like to dance in groups. While the concept of getting together with a bunch of your male friends and going dancing together with women may baffle you, this is something that we actually like to do.

It is a way for us to get together, and let off some steam doing something that we enjoy. A male equivalent of this is probably something along the lines of drinking beer, playing basketball or playing video games.

Women want to communicate with you about almost everything. Communication can be one of the hardest obstacles in a relationship. But despite the fact that you may have a difficult time expressing yourself in words, women oftentimes need you to be able to let them know what is going on with you emotionally.

Women can be very in tune emotionally, and it can be difficult for us if you are refusing to express yourself through words and peaceful communication. So, that is something to keep in mind.

Sometimes, it is difficult for men to fully understand certain things that women do. However, learning to accept us as we are rather than trying to get us to change would be way better for your relationship.

You may not completely comprehend why we do what they do, but the things you don’t have in common may actually strengthen your attraction for her.

So why do some people sweat too much? Well, if you sweat excessively, you could be suffering from Hyperhidrosis. It is characterized by excessive sweating of the palms and soles of the feet. It occurs when the sympathetic nervous system gets overactive and creates more sweat than required by the body.

Drink a lot of water. Water helps keep your body cool as well as helps flush out toxins and cool down your temperature which will always help you reduce sweating.

Always take a cold shower. Hot shower or baths do not really help with excessive sweating. Have you ever noticed that as soon as you step out of a hot shower, your body starts perspiring and sweating? Well this could be because of an immediate change in temperature from hot to cold. So always have a refreshing cold shower.

Use a strong antibacterial soap. If you sweat excessively, then the stinky smell that comes is a result of bacteria that rot and fester in your underarm and other regions. Using an antibacterial soap on a regular basis, especially after your workouts, should help with this problem.

Keep your underarms shaved or waxed. Keeping your underarms hairless will help the sweat to evaporate much faster. Also, when there is a lot of hair, it provides the perfect atmosphere for the bacteria to thrive, resulting in a foul smell.

Wear cotton clothing as much as possible. Letting your skin breathe well will reduce sweating to a great extent. So wear cotton clothing, especially during hot days can help you reduce sweating.

Always keep a change of clothes handy. Even if you are a guy, if you know your body tends to sweat a lot makes sense to have an extra set of clothes ready for some unforeseen instances. Keep it in your backpack , your laptop bag or even at office. If you feel like you are having a particularly bad day, you can change into your fresh set of clothes. This will help you keep your confidence and go through your day without having to worry about sweat stains.

Make use of over the counter sweat absorbent pads. You can place them under your arms and in other such danger zones to absorb the excess sweat. They can always be found in any supermarket around town.

Exercise to lower your body-mass index (BMI). If you have more mass on your body, your body will sweat more to keep itself cool. If you’re really struggling with underarm sweat, it may be something you can remedy by incorporating cardiovascular exercise into your routine and losing some weight. Get all your sweating out with exercise.

You may be wondering why I haven’t listed the more obvious solutions—deodorants and antiperspirants. While I agree that they are good fixes, always remember that they are always temporary and do not really help you in the long run. In fact, they can darken your skin and even cause irritation and rashes. They don’t deal with the problem, but rather they only mask it. So while you can go in for extra-strong deodorants, they cannot be your end solution to fight excessive sweating.

In case that your iron is badly burned, do not use salt, but take some vinegar instead. Heat the vinegar up, take a cloth and soak it into the vinegar. Using the cloth, wipe the scorched sole plate until you remove the marks. In the end, take a damp cloth and wipe the bottom of the iron with it. In case that the vinegar does not work in removing the marks from the iron, make a mixture using hot white vinegar and a couple of tablespoons of baking soda or table salt. Stir the mixture well until the baking soda or the salt dissolves in the vinegar, and then take a cloth and wipe the sole plate of the iron with it until you completely get rid of the stains. In the end, wipe the bottom of the iron using a damp towel.

Put a couple of tablespoons of salt on a cloth and then put the cloth on the ironing board. Turn on the iron and place it on the salt, rubbing forth and back until you get rid of the scorch marks. In the end, turn off the iron and wait until it cools, and then take a damp cloth so that you wipe the sole plate.

If your iron has a nonstick sole plate, you can clean the scorch marks using laundry detergent. Take a bowl with some warm water in it and add several drops of detergent into it. Dip a cloth in it and then rub it against the sole plate of the iron. Finally, wipe the plate of the iron with a damp towel.

Sometimes, the scorch marks can even cover the iron vents. Use a mixture of water and dish soap to get rid of them. Dip a cloth into this mixture and then rub it on the sole plate of the iron, making sure that you also reach the vents. Once the marks are removed, take a clean cloth and dry the iron.

Take a cloth and soak it into hydrogen peroxide. Then, place it on the ironing board. Iron over it and do not stop until you get rid of the stains.

If your iron does not have coated iron plate, you can clean it by applying a few drops of metal polish solution. Rub this solution onto the scorched marks until you eliminate them and in the end use a clean cloth to wipe the iron plate.

Before you start with this procedure, read the iron’s owner manual, as some of these techniques might not be recommended for your iron. Moreover, maybe the manufacturer has written some tips in the manual on how to remove the scorch marks from it.

2. Be realistic. The chance of mastering something the first time you do it is almost non-existent. Everything takes time to learn and you will make mistakes. Learn from them.

3. You are strong. You are stronger than you think. One little setback is not enough to stop you from achieving your goals. Neither are 10 or 100 or 1000 setbacks.

4. Prove yourself. You don’t want to be known as someone that is weak and gives up. Go out there and prove yourself to the world and to yourself. You CAN and WILL achieve what you set out to do. The only time you fail is when you give up.

5. Believe in your dreams. Don’t sell yourself short. In life there are going to be many people who will try to bring you down and tell you what you want to achieve is not possible.

6. Your family and friends. Let the people you love and who mean the world to you be your inspiration to persist and persevere. Maybe you need to try a different angle, study more or practice more but don’t give up!

7. There are people worse-off. Right now there are many people who are in a worse situation and environment than you are. Are you thinking about giving up running 5 miles a week? Think about the people who are unable to even walk and how much they would give to be able to run 5 miles every day.

8. You deserve to be happy. Don’t ever let anybody tell you otherwise. You deserve to be happy and you deserve to have success. Keep that mindset and never give up until you reach your destination!

9. Inspire others. Be an inspiration to others by refusing to give up. Who knows what someone else can achieve because you never gave up and in turn inspired them not to give up.

10. You are so close. Often when you feel like you want to give up you are so close to making a huge breakthrough. You are just a heartbeat away from success
