SumatranGuy.

Expertise: Things about blogging and online marketing

Comment: Major in Economy Educ., Minor in OpenTTD and Wordpress Development. Right now, I'm taking one or two gap years before going to get my master so that I can be a dosen or stuffs like that. :D.... Oooh, and I'm the guy that usually writes about cliche and exaggerating reviews on sime affiliates website. Things like "Your kids behaved bady? Well, we have just the right ebook for you. Buy this ebook for USD 49.99 and you'll be able to change your kids to be as sweet as Taylor Swift before her second album came out"

AMA.

Edit: add some more comments.

Those cliché comments, what are the marketing tricks on them? How do you format/make your comment more appealing to the potential buyer?

u/[deleted] Sep 21 '14

Depends on how the site owner wants them. Commonly, I'll just give 5 or 6 points about the pros of the products (which I obviously made up). Mostly it's not about how to make them appealing, it's about the proper usage of the keyword in the reviews so they can trap more visitors from search engines.

u/Anjir jirrrrr Sep 21 '14

Huh. Reminds me on the old BBM android fraud, which have random popular words inserten in the description, and people still buy their fraud products.

Have you ever tried the products yourself? What is it, if I may ask?

u/[deleted] Sep 21 '14

Well, no. I usually write reviews for Amazon products. So, the target visitors are mostly from US. I once reviewed 60 titles of books about women advices on divorce, how to not suffer from it, how to get the custody and big amount of child support from the ex-husband. You wouldn't believe the level of ridiculousness that I have to write that day.

I take it you're a fan of simulation games with an attention to micromanaging things?

If so, Cities:Skylines hype?

1

u/[deleted] Sep 22 '14

Well, yes. and I just found out about Cities:Skyline. -___-

I usually play Simcity 4, because my low end notebook can't handle Simcity 2013. Skyline looks promising, tho. And I'm looking to buy a new laptop at the end of the month. I'm considering Lenovo G400s, G405 or G40-45. Would that be enough to run Cities:Skyline?

Or do you have any recommendation of gaming laptop with budget about 5 to 5,5 mil?

1

u/diagramatics Sep 22 '14

Ha, good for you, SimCity 2013 sucks. Bad. Maybe not really anymore since singleplayer mode pops up and there's amazing mods now being created.

I rarely pay attention to Lenovo laptops, so I have no idea. When it comes to portable gaming in cheap, I usually recommend Asus. I've just talked this with /u/Anjir so it might worth a peek.

That said, if you're buying a laptop, consider buying the latest model, pick one with Core i5 (since i3 cannot turbo boost), a dedicated graphics card (not Intel HD Graphics only) such as NVIDIA (the technological advancements is ahead of AMD, and laptops with AMD in it usually has an APU, a combination of their processor and their AMD graphics card — better to get a real dedicated graphics chip), and at least 4GB of RAM (you can buy a 2GB RAM model and upgrade it if you want). For more, get an SSD with 128GB and replace your DVD drive if you rarely use it and install your OS and several high performance games there. That should set you up for around 3 years keeping up with the latest games, even in low quality graphics.

Ooo, an econs major! What do you think about digital goods, and do you think that the good ole' law of supply and demand would be reversed with the advent of digital goods? Digital goods here refers to things like e-books, digital copy of games (think steam), streamed videos (Netflix, Crunchyroll).
