Facebook has launched a video uploading and streaming platform called "Facebook Watch" to compete and rival popular YouTube but do you think Facebook can displace YouTube in the video business? Only time will tell.

As with YouTube, there will be some shows produced professionally by corporate partners—including one live MLB game per week—,but the company says the focus will be on videos uploaded by Facebook users.

Now, here is why I think that Facebook Watch is more of a Twitter competitor than a YouTube competitor and why it won’t pose a serious threat to YouTube anytime soon.

According to the info that I got, Facebook has a new home for original video content produced exclusively for it by partners, who will earn 55 percent of ad break revenue while Facebook keeps 45 percent.

The “Watch” tab and several dozen original shows will start rolling out to a small group of U.S. users tomorrow on mobile, desktop and Facebook’s TV apps.

By hosting original programming, Facebook could boost ad revenue and give people a reason to frequently return to the News Feed for content they can’t get anywhere else.

Watch features personalized recommendations of live and recorded shows to watch, plus categories like “Most Talked About,” “What’s making People Laugh” and “Shows Your Friends Are Watching.” Publishers can also share their shows to the News Feed to help people discover them.

A Watchlist feature lets you subscribe to updates on fresh episodes of your favorite shows. Fans can connect with each other and creators through a brand new feature that links shows to Groups.Facebook says it plans to roll out access to Watch to more users and more content creators soon, starting with the rest of the U.S. before expanding internationally.

Users with access will see a TV-shaped Watch button in the bottom navigation bar of Facebook’s main app that opens the new video hub.Facebook admits that “we’ve also funded some shows” as examples, but notes that these are only a small percentage of all the available shows.

“We want any publisher/creator who is interested to be able to create a show in the future,” a Facebook spokesperson says. “So there will be hundreds of shows at launch, and we’ll hopefully scale to thousands.

”Business Insider reported some leaked details about the redesign earlier today, but pegged the launch of original programming as starting August 28th, when the shows actually begin to roll out tomorrow.

What is the first platform that comes to your mind when you want to watch a skit?
Obviously it is Instagram.

However, what is the first platform that comes to mind when you want to watch a music video? Or a tech review? Or a Vlog?Hope you can see where I am going to with this?

What I am trying to say is that it will be very difficult for Facebook Watch to change the existing behavioral pattern. Difficult, but not impossible because there is nothing impossible in this life.

So it should be fun to watch Facebook try to replicate what it did with Snapchat on YouTube.

By the way, did you know that Facebook has shut down life-stage — the Snapchat clone for teens? More Details Later...

Are you having trouble getting traffic to your blog? Well, I'm also having the same issue, but I have discovered a way and its working effectively for me.

Here are the few things you need to do to get traffic to your blog.

1. Quality Post:Getting quality post its pretty hard these days because everything has been writing on other blogs, but that doesn't mean you should copy and paste. Just about that topic you want to write on different blogs, and I assure you. You will have a wonderful and new idea.

2. Commenting

4. Twitter:
As we all know twitter is a great community with millions of users, just imagine to quarter of those users visiting your blog, damn! It will be great, but it's not as easy as it sounds nor is it as difficult as I sound, its finding the what's trending on twitter and also share your blog post there, share the relevant ones.

5. Facebook:For years a lot of communities, groups had been created on Facebook and have given a lot of blogs great traffic.

Do not spam because Facebook will ban you from posting links, Follow these steps -> Create Facebook page -> post on the page as a link and hashtag (search for the hashtag on Facebook if it has been used, if yes create a unique hashtag) ->, Then comment on any post you like using the hashtag.. Do not post a link because when someone clicks on the hashtag it shows them all your post with hashtag.

6. SEO:
Work on your seo it's very important, for WordPress users get plugins and also a seo optimized template. For bloggers use these meta tags ( http://ogbongegeeks.blogspot.co.ke/2017/08/how-to-optimize-your-blog-with-my-free.html ). And submit your URL search engines.

7. Buy backlinks/Traffic:

One thing I know for sure its that it works because if it doesn't they won't be doing it.

After all my research, these are my best methods of driving traffic to blog.

I asked this question yesterday, but no one answered because they don't have an idea. Well this community a place to learn, so I'm going to show you how to rank on a keyword.

Website Age
The truth is the age of your website/blog matters. It's important on ranking, but that shouldn't be a problem because with the other steps, you can rank on a keyword.

Create Your Audience List
It's very important to have your audience in different place like social media.

Choosing that keyword you want to rank on.
You are not the first neither will you be the last person that wants to rank on that keyword, So you have always monitored your competitors to know what makes them rank higher than you on that keyword.

Choose A Keyword Relating To Your Website/Blog
You have better chances if your keyword is related to your blog, so make sure your keyword is related to your blog, not outside your blog.

Title & Meta Tags
Always make sure your keywords are in the title of your post because it's very essential, and it helps increase your rank, and also helps your post appear easily on search engines when someone searches for that keyword.

Doing
something for the first time can make you very nervous and anxious. It is even worse if you are boarding a plane.

Although the experience may be pleasant, the unpalatable things, you have heard about flying may scare you.

Beyond this, there are other important things that can disrupt your flight, which are probably unaware of because you are flying for the first time.

So I decided to share with you thing's first-time flyers must know to enjoy their flight.

Arrive At The Airport Super Early
Whether you are traveling within or outside Nigeria, you should arrive at the airport super early. This will help calm your nerves. However, if you are a first-time flyer, and you arrive late, you would be disorganised and uncoordinated. Consequently, you may miss your flight. Alternatively, you can arrive a day earlier and lodge in one of those Lagos airport hotels.

Keep Your Carry-on Bag Small And Light
You should carry a portable bag where you can keep your valuables like passports and other important travel documents. It is easier to reach, anytime you need them.

Get In Your Seat And Power Down
You do not need to show everyone on the plane that you are a first-time flyer. It will simply reveal your stupidity. When you get on board, choose your seat mate carefully, sit and switch off your phone or place it on aeroplane mode.

Do Not Tip Indiscriminately
There is nothing wrong with tipping. You can if you want to. However, don't just tip everyone who demand money from you. You may end up tipping them with all your pocket money.

Avoid Junk Food
Eat proper food, not junk. You do not want to throw up at the airport or on the plane. It is highly possible that you may throw up because you are overwhelmed or anxious.

Don’t Carry Cash
It is not advisable to carry cash when you are flying let alone for the first time. You may lose your money. Before you travel, contact your bank to know how you can get an ATM card that you can use anywhere in the world. Besides, if you want to carry cash, do not carry too much cash.

Do Not Patronize Touts To Exchange Money
There are all sort of characters at the airport. So, be careful who you deal with. Never patronize touts especially when it has to do with currency exchange. They may change the money at a higher rate or give you fake currencies. There are bureau de Change wherever you are traveling to.

Bring Your Headset
Your headset will keep you company when you are bored or anxious. You can listen to your favorite music. This will distract you from your worries about flying for the first time.

Don’t Be Fearful
Do not think about all the stories you have heard about flying. You should believe that nothing will happen. If you dwell on it for too long, you may end up not traveling.
It is not easy, but you have to ditch your fear or paranoia
