The Western Bulldogs have claimed victory in the first AFL women's grand final held in Melbourne but it was plagued by rain, with pre-game entertainment cancelled and fans questioning the choice of stadium.
This is a busy weekend for sport in Melbourne, with the first round of the men's AFL and the Grand Prix.
Some fans told 9NEWS the game should have been held at Etihad Stadium and accused organisers of underestimating the popularity of the match.
Torrential rain that swept Melbourne this morning eased at Princes Park as the game got underway but still made conditions tricky.
The rain didn't stop the players or the fans but it did put a halt on Missy Higgins' scheduled show.

A bunch of my friends just got back from studying abroad in the fall. Who knew that switching from "I studied abroad last semester" to "I studied abroad last year" would be so tough? I know, I know. Have some perspective.
I have an amazing free software called MyShoebox that backs up any photos I've uploaded to my computer via my camera or Dropbox. It's not only great in case my computer crashes (knock on wood), but also send me a bit of inspiration. It tells me what photos I uploaded "This Day in History." Though it's bittersweet to see the amazing adventures I had studying abroad last year, I thought I'd share some of my forgotten treasures.

Once in a while, a celebrity (in this case the impossibly gorgeous Anne Hathaway) nails it. Excerpt:
During an interview with Ellen Degeneres that aired last week, the 36-year-old Oscar winner dished on her love for "The Wonder Years" star Fred Savage as well as the interests of her three-year-old son before asking Ellen and the members of the audience to join her in peeling some clementines. As everyone proceeded to tear the orange flesh from their respective citrus fruit, Hathaway shared a cutesy story:
"So over the holidays, we took a family road trip up the coast of California. And we found this amazing former hippie enclave from the '60s. And there was a little secondhand bookstore in there… and I found a book in there by this guy who used to be really big – Dr. Q. And he wrote a book called Citrus Healing. And it was all the ways that you can incorporate citrus into your life to kind of like raise your health. And one of the things was how to incorporate citrus into your meditation practice. And it was called Clementime. It was cute."
The collective eye rolls, face palms, and sighs of a skeptical audience might have halted Hathaway from continuing at this point, but this was not a skeptical audience, and so she pressed on unabated.
Hathaway then asked Ellen and the crowd members to hold their clementines to their mouths and inhale in and exhale out through the hole with comically accentuated breaths.
"Do you guys feel a little bit better? Do you feel good?" she asked, to many smiles, some confused looks, and a few nods of agreement.
"That's impossible, I made the whole thing up!"
"The takeaway of this is do not put something in your mouth just because a celebrity tells you to," she concluded.
Gwyneth, are you listening?
From what I've read of Ms. Hathaway's political opinions, I suspect I wouldn't find much common ground with her. In fact, from what I read, her stunning looks notwithstanding, I doubt I'd be interested in hanging out with her.
But this time she's spot-on. People shouldn't put things in their mouths because some vapid, airheaded celebrity says they should. And women really, really should not carry a jade egg around in their cooze because some really, really vapid, airheaded celebrity says it's a good idea.
It's far too uncommon to hear celebrities espousing anything resembling common sense these days. There seems to be no end to the woo that comes out of Hollywood, from anti-vaccine nutbars to vegan nitwittery. It's nice to see that at least one actress, in this one instance, appears to have her head screwed on straight.
(Gwyneth, are you listening?)

Nebraska Extension presents recordkeeping at Alliance
To assist farmers and ranchers in improving their record-keeping and decision-making, Nebraska Extension has scheduled two "Know Your Numbers, Know Your Options" courses in North Platte and Alliance.
The North Platte dates are Feb. 5, 12, 19 and 26, 1-4 p.m. each day, at the West Central Research and Extension Center, 402 W. State Farm Road.
The Alliance workshop will be March 10, 12, 17 and 19, 10 a.m.-1:30 p.m. each day, at the Box Butte County Extension Office, 415 Black Hills Ave.
Participants should plan on attending each of the four workshop dates.
This course is designed to help farmers and ranchers understand their current financial position and how big decisions like large purchases, new leases or changes in production will affect their bottom line. Upon completion of this program, participants will have a better understanding of how financial records can be used to make decisions and confidently discuss their financial position with their family, business partners and lenders.
Each "Know Your Numbers, Know Your Options" course is a series of four, three-hour classes that will teach farmers and ranchers how to keep and analyze their records. The course fee is $20 per participant and class size is limited to 20 people per location.

This time round the activities at SAM was really engaging for the little ones. They had so much to create and express themselves.
First, the kids got to create their own clay magnets from everyday objects such as key, clips, pegs @ Everyday Wonders...
Some ideas to kick start the creation.
Their very own little pieces.
We went round too admiring at the art from these simple tools.
They also imitated the artists that created the Echoes-Infinity-The Forest using powder paint that fades with time as visitors walk over, reminding us the transient nature of life. It wasn't easy using these powdered paint as it smudged quite easily.

During the 2011 Miss Universe Pageant, I found the National Costume portion most interesting. I wish they could have shown more costumes. I also wish I could have been there in São Paulo, Brazil. It looked absolutely georgeous! While I was disappionted that Miss USA, Alyssa Campanella, didn't make it into the top 5, I was pleased with the judges final choice.
Congrats to 25 year old, Leila Lopes, now the new Miss Universe 2011. She was elegant, graceful and charming to watch AND she was wearing the heck out of that evening gown (if only I could look that good). Leila is the first Angolan Miss Universe and the fourth African woman to win the title.
Universal Beauty:
Leila Lopes' soft, fresh, dewy foundation, with sheer rosy lips and very subtle blush is one that is sure to be duplicated. Her eyes were neutral shimmer, lined top and bottom and smoked out at the corners. A soft highlight shade added on the brow bone and inner corner of the eyes. Of course no look is complete without the lashes mascara and sculpted brows.

The big overhaul of the Sydney office was a success, according to Stacey and Tania, who just spent most of that conference call rhapsodising about it. From what I can tell, the main attraction is the wall-to-wall mural that's essentially a trompe l'oeil filing system. Beats me how that's a good thing by any measure – aesthetic, functional or otherwise.
The only thing I can think of is that it works on a nostalgic level, given that paper-based filing is all but dead these days. Still, why not use the wall space for something useful, or at least fun? I'm not sure that purely nostalgia-fuelled novelty has much place in forward-looking office interior designs. Sydney businesses know that office layouts are about more than mere novelty. What it should really be focusing on, when it comes workspaces, is creating an environment that assists people to get their work done. That's my two cents, anyway.
I guess I need to see this thing in person to really have an opinion on it. It just seems like, if said mural is the most noteworthy aspect of the reboot, then the design might not have a whole lot going for it in terms of actually being a good space to work in. But it does come down to what you're looking for in an office fit out. Sydney workplaces might have different priorities, like being on top of the trend for early '00s stuff that seems to be going around.
Maybe I'm taking too clinical a view of this. I mean, if the mural in question somehow helps bond the millennial-dominated team together through shared recollection of their formative years, as represented by carefully labelled binders and A4 plastic sleeves, then there could be something to be said for it. Even a minimalist of the first order (like me) can appreciate the functional value of that effect.
If there's one thing that being a design snob has taught me, it's that it's always worth being open to new ideas.

On Tuesday I found the bass in the late afternoon. I caught two on the surface Sammy. Then came the storm ...

The last day of the salmon season A.D. 2014 - 30.09.2014
Very low water level in the river, lots of weeds and algae. But the fish cooperated well. I have caught more than twenty brown trout, four sea trout and small salmon.
The new rod, Dragon Specialist Pro Stream (8' 5-25g), is very well
I didn't think it was ever say - more rain in next year, please!

I remember the first time I ever set up a Messenger bot.
It was mind-blowing how fun it was to set up, and all the different engaging customizations I could include in my messages (buttons, images, videos, emojis etc).
…and these would land in my prospects main Facebook inboxes? Sign me up.
BUT my excited-state slowly crept towards disappointment.
I had created such a cool experience to help automate my marketing, customer support and sales inside the Facebook Messenger.
…but I had all but 3 people actually USE the bot.
I just couldn't get traffic.
Sound familiar?
For example, when you start a new hobby and you buy ALL the latest gear only to find out the 'hobby' is actually hard work and your new gear ends up on the shelf in the garage?
This is something we can all relate to.
Well, the aim of today's tutorial is to give you all the 'gear' you need to make Messenger bots WORK for you and your business (minus the disappointment).
Benefits of Messenger Bot Traffic
Besides not having to feel disappointed (…and throwing your Messenger bot in the trash), there are several benefits to having traffic flowing into your Messenger bot.
Firstly, your Messenger bot (depending on how you set it up), will assist you by automating customer support, marketing, lead generation and sales. It's basically like having an employee working for you full-time around the clock.
Secondly, your Messenger bot will help you nurture a prospect into a customer. Without you having to log into Facebook (or interact at all), you can count on your Messenger bot to nurture your prospects for you, leading them towards a sale.
Thirdly, everyone who interacts with your Messenger bot becomes a Messenger Subscriber. Just like when someone opts in to an email list by submitting their email address, when someone interacts with your Messenger bot they are added to your Messenger Subscriber list. This means you can follow-up with them anytime in the future by broadcasting messages directly into their main Facebook inbox.
There's a reason Messenger is now one of the number one ways to reach prospects and build an audience.
Traffic is your route to taking advantage of that.
Traffic Sources
When Messenger bots originally started popping up, we were quite limited in the way we could set them up and generate traffic to them.
Luckily for us – they have impressively evolved over the past couple of years and that gives us so much more room for creativity and growth.
We're no longer just limited to prospects having to contact our page manually in order to be triggered into our Messenger bots.
We can grow our bots through just about every traditional traffic source you can think of.
Here are some traffic sources we can use to grow our Messenger bots…
- Facebook (duh)
- Posts
- Comments
- Ads
- Website Traffic
- Offline resources
- Influencers
Although the above list might seem lackluster at first glance, it'll tie into the next section about growth tools (I promise).
In the next section, I'll be showing you how to grow your Messenger bot traffic using growth tools for each traffic source.
Growth Tools
Let me start this off by explaining a bit about how Messenger bots work. When you set up a Messenger bot, you essentially have a series of messages that are going to be automatically sent to a prospect based on their interactions.
These messages can be created to assist with just about anything you can think of (marketing, sales, lead generation and customer support… to name a few).
What we now need to do, is create 'entry points'. Entry points for your Messenger bot, are just that. Entry points.
They help people enter your Messenger bot.
These are also referred to as "Growth Tools" because they basically help you grow traffic for your Messenger bot by acting as a bridge between the prospect entering, and then interacting with your bot.
To illustrate this visually, think about a shopping mall. Inside a shopping mall, you have all these stores that generate sales. However, with no entrances to the mall, how would people shop?
Your Messenger bot is the mall, and growth tools act as the entrances.
To make this as simple as possible, I'm going to break this section into the traffic sources I listed above, and under those headings I'll explain the different growth tools you can use in order to increase your traffic.
Before I do that, here's a quick summary of the different growth tools you can use to generate traffic for your bot.
- Comment-Responses
- Button Widgets
- Customer Chat Widgets
- Reference URLs
- JSON for Messenger Ads
- Scan Codes (sometimes referred to as QR Codes)
Traffic Source #1: Facebook Traffic
This is the most obvious choice for generating traffic to your Messenger bot, right? It just makes sense. Use Facebook to generate traffic into the Facebook Messenger. There are actually quite a few different methods you can use though.
Let's jump into them.
Facebook posts (without ads) on your Facebook page are a free source of traffic and leverages existing fans of your Facebook page. The big benefit here is we're leveraging existing fans of our business/brand which equates to higher trust/engagement.
The people who will see your post will know your business/brand.
There are several ways we can use Facebook posts to generate traffic.
- "Get Messages" Post Type
- Reference URL Growth Tool
- Comments
- Boosted Posts (Ads)
Firstly, we can use Facebook's default "Get Messages" post type. This adds a "Send Message" button to your Facebook posts so that you can generate traffic directly from your Facebook posts.
Here is how to set up one of these posts:
Click on "Get Messages".
As you can see above, Facebook automatically adds a "Send Message" button to your Facebook post (you're able to customize the photo attached to the post, too).
Secondly, you can use a "Reference URL" growth tool (can be found inside MSGHero.com). A reference URL allows you to create links that when clicked, send the user directly into your Messenger bot. It's basically a "Share" link that you can share anywhere, to generate traffic into your Messenger chatbot.
Cool, right?
So you can create a share link (reference URL) for your Messenger bot, and insert it into your Facebook posts. Anyone who clicks that link, will be triggered into your Messenger bot (traffic!). A strategy here could be to post as you usually do, but at the bottom of each post add a sentence with a call-to-action to subscribe to your Messenger bot.
Thirdly, you can respond to comments automatically using the "Comment-Response" growth tool. This is explained in more detail below, but basically this growth tool allows you to send a Facebook message to anyone who comments on your Facebook posts. If prospects reply to this message, they can be triggered into your Messenger bot and they'll become a Messenger Subscriber. In other words, comments on your posts can act as an 'entrance' to your Messenger bot.
Fourth, you have ads. You can either "Boost" your post, or you can create a Facebook ad through the ads manager and select your post as the traffic destination. This is explained in more detail below the following "Comments" section.
Comment-response campaigns are very well-known at this stage and they're used to 'trigger' (send) an automated custom personal Facebook message to anyone who comments on any of your selected Facebook posts and Facebook ads.
Yes, that's right!
Anytime someone comments on any of your selected Facebook posts or Facebook ads, that person is sent a Facebook message (that you can customize) that lands directly inside of their main Facebook inbox (just as if one of their Facebook friends were messaging them).
Not only that, if the person responds to your comment-response message – they are automatically added as a Messenger subscriber.
This means you can broadcast future messages to them whenever you want (these messages also land right inside of the main Facebook inbox).
For comment-response campaigns to work with a Facebook ad, it needs to be a Facebook post (this can be an unpublished/hidden/dark post or a public post).
So if your posts get a lot of comments, you can turn that engagement into an entrance to your Messenger bot.
The benefit of using Facebook ads is we can drive instant traffic to our Messenger bots and we can specify for our ads to be shown to a very targeted group of people. For instance, if I am running a golf training business and I have set up a Messenger bot to assist with my bookings – I can tell Facebook I only want my ad to be shown to people who like golf (by targeting interests that are associated with passionate golfers).
– Ad Option #1: Facebook Ads for Comment Campaigns
As I mentioned above, a huge benefit here is we can drive instant traffic to our posts (don't have to wait for fans to engage with our posts).
For comments, we'll be driving traffic through Facebook ads to our posts where we have set up a comment-response campaign inside our Messenger bot platform (such as MSGHero.com). When people comment on the ad, they'll be sent a message we can customize, and if they respond to that they'll be triggered into our Messenger bot (and become a Messenger subscriber).
Here's a video we created (with 1m+ views) which shows you how we tripled our Messenger Subscriber growth by using one simple trick with comment-response campaigns on our Facebook ads:
Once we have a successful campaign running, we can scale that campaign by increasing our traffic from our Facebook ads.
Here's how to set up a Facebook ad to a comments campaign:
Step 1: Select Your Marketing Objective
Go to your ads manager (https://www.facebook.com/ads/manager).
We can either use "Traffic", "Conversions" or "Engagement" as our ad marketing objective.
This often depends on the type of campaign we're running but because we're looking for comments (which is a form of engagement), we can run an "Engagement" ad.
It's important to note that I am selecting engagement for an example of how to proceed with finding your post in the ad setup process.
We always test our different marketing objectives with our campaigns and have often seen improved results running comment-response campaigns with "Conversions" and "Traffic" as our marketing objectives.
So please do test all three, and then proceed with the winner.
Select "Post engagement", enter a campaign name and then click on "Continue".
Step 2: Set Up Your Ad Set Settings
Next, set up your ad set. This will include demographics, audience targeting (who you want to show your ad to) and your required ad budget.
Step 3: Selecting Your Campaign Post
Then, on the final step you're prompted to set up your actual Facebook ad. Now remember, comment campaigns only work on Facebook posts (but you can set up an ad to your post which is what we are doing).
So as you can see on the screenshot below we have the following:
You click on the "Use Existing Post" tab, select your Facebook page and then select a page post from the drop-down menu (under "Creative") that you want to run traffic to.
Alternatively, you can also search by post ID by clicking on "Enter Post ID".
If you have selected "Engagement" as your marketing objective, you can also set up a post from scratch using the "Create Ad" tab (next to "Use Existing Post").
However, if you are using a different marketing objective, such as "Traffic" or "Conversions", please use the "Use Existing Post" option.
Step 4: Make Sure The Post You Created is the Same Post You Select for Your Comment-Response Campaign inside of Your Messenger Bot Platform (such as MSGHero.com).
This will ensure all comments being posted from your ad traffic, are also being responded to automatically.
– Ad Option #2: Facebook Messenger Ads
Another way to generate traffic into your Messenger bot (and as a result grow your Messenger subscriber list) is to run "Messenger Ads".
Messenger ads basically allow you to initiate a conversation with a prospect when they click one of your Facebook ads. As soon as they click your ad, a message of your choice will appear inside their main Facebook inbox.
As soon as they send us a message, they become a Messenger Subscriber of your Messenger bot.
Now it's important to note that when running a Messenger Ad, you may not choose the "Engagement" objective. You will need to select "Messages, "Traffic" or "Conversions".
Go ahead and name your campaign and click on "Continue".
If you don't select "Messages" as your objective, you'll need to select "Messenger" as shown below.
If you selected "Messages" as your objective, you'll see a "Message Destination" section as shown below. You can leave the default 'Messenger' selection as 'Click to Messenger'.
Continue to set up your demographics, audience targeting, placements and budget and then you're prompted to set up your actual Messenger ad.
Proceed to set up your headline, description and ad text and you'll see the call-to-action is "Send Message" in the bottom right corner. Here is where the prospect will click to be sent a message from your Facebook page.
If you scroll down a bit further, you're able to actually customize a message to be sent to a prospect when they click on the "Send Message" button from your Facebook ad.
This brings us to a fork in the road. There are two options we can use here. The first, is a manual setup provided as a default option by Facebook. The second is what we refer to as "JSON Code". I'll explain both options for you below:
Manual Setup Without JSON Code
You'll notice as shown in the screen below, if you have set up a "Welcome Message" inside of your Messenger bot platform, you'll be shown two options.
- Create your own welcome experience
- Use your bot's "Get Started" screen
If you do not have a "Welcome Message" set up inside of your Messenger bot platform, you'll be forced to go with the "Create your own welcome experience" option (Facebook won't show you the second option).
So what's the difference?
If you create your own welcome experience, you need to set up a message with the goal of getting the person to respond with your trigger keyword for your messaging funnel (so you can trigger them into your Messenger bot). This will be the first message they receive when they click the "Send Message" button on your ad.
If you use your bot's "Get Started" screen option, you're able to trigger the person clicking the "Send Message" button from your ad, directly into your Messenger bot messaging funnel.
So let's assume we go with the "create your own welcome experience" option. As shown above, we click on "Custom Template" and then click on "Get Started".
You'll then be shown a screen similar to the one below.
Click on "Visual" and type your text greeting message. Unfortunately, Facebook heavily limits the character limit for the greeting text so you'll need to be straight to the point.
As you can see in my example above, I am prompting them to respond to my message with the keyword "yes".
Why do I do this?
This is because I want them to reply to my message in order to become a Messenger subscriber of my Facebook page and of course I want them to continue through my messaging funnel (series of message I have set up inside my Messenger bot platform). Remember, our messaging funnel bot needs to be triggered by a keyword. So the user needs to manually type "yes" as a response to trigger our bot ("yes" is just my example keyword, yours can be anything).
From this point onwards, your Messenger bot's messaging funnel will take over with the automated responses using keyword triggers and buttons you have set up.
In the context of the message example above, I could set my keyword trigger in my Messenger bot to be "Yes" so that when they click the "Yes" button, it sends them a message with a link to my free Messenger Marketing course.
As soon as they send us a message, they become a Messenger subscriber and can continue throughout our Messenger bot's messaging funnel.
If you scroll down further, you'll see the "Customer Actions" section. By default, it'll be "Frequently Asked Questions". In my example, I selected "Buttons" instead. I set my button to "I need help" so that if they click the button they will be sent to my website's help center.
Alternatively, if you had selected the option shown below, you would not need to set up a welcome experience. Remember that the "Use your bot's "Get Started" screen" will not be shown as an option if you have not set up a "Welcome Message" inside your Messenger bot platform.
JSON Code Setup
The JSON Code growth tool can be found inside most major Messenger bot platforms (such as MSGHero.com) and it allows you to create a structured message for your Messenger ads.
Without a JSON Code growth tool from your Messenger bot platform, you're slightly limited to how you can run your Messenger ads as an entry point (for traffic) to your Messenger bot.
Running Messenger ads are a fantastic way to increase your subscriber count but there are some limitations with the experience if you don't use JSON codes (as you would have seen in the 'manual setup' above).
Here are 3 of the main limitations when running Messenger ads without the JSON code feature (using Facebook's default Messenger ad message builder in order to design your own welcome experience):
- You need to tell your prospect to respond with a certain keyword to trigger them into your Messenger bot (no real way to trigger them via a button)
- Another limitation is that you are limited with the customizations you can use in order to make your messages engaging to the prospect.
- You're stuck with the annoying default "FAQ" template, or buttons linking outside your message to a website URL (no internal message-reply buttons).
So, now you know why using a JSON Code is so valuable.
You can create an entry point that's a frictionless experience for transitioning your prospect from your Facebook ad into your Messenger bot – where they become a Messenger subscriber!
Once you have set up your Facebook Messenger ad (campaign type, name, targeting, placements etc), you'll be prompted to set up your message for your ad.
Click on "Custom Template" and then click on the "Get Started" button as shown below.
A pop-up will appear. Click on the "JSON" tab as shown below. This is the step where things are different to the manual setup process explained previously. You'll remember previously, we used the "Visual" tab. Now we're using the "JSON" tab instead.
You'll notice a bunch of code as shown above.
Log into the platform you use to set up your Messenger bot, locate the "JSON Code" growth tool. You'll be able to set up a full Messenger bot, and your platform will give you your very own JSON Code script to replace with the default one shown above.
Click inside the existing code (indicated by the red arrow in the screenshot above) and select all that code and delete it (make sure to delete it all, you can do this by clicking at the very top and selecting all the existing code and deleting it).
Next, paste in the script you just copied to your clipboard from inside your own Messenger bot platform (such as MSGHero).
Facebook will take a few seconds to verify your JSON Code and then you'll be able to click a link (as shown in the screenshot below) to test your message inside your own Facebook inbox (to verify it all looks correct).
That's it!
As you can see, transitioning your prospect to a Messenger bot subscriber through Messenger ads doesn't have to be such a daunting experience!
Now, you can spice it up with buttons, images and more (and have them triggered directly into your Messenger bot as soon as they click on your Messenger ad).
As far as a smooth experience goes, we highly recommend using a JSON Code vs a manual setup when it comes to Messenger ads!
Traffic Source #2: Website Traffic
As Messenger bots have grown, so have the different ways you can use them (thanks Facebook!).
Thanks to this rapid expansion we now have the ability to leverage our existing traffic in order to grow our Messenger bots and our Messenger Subscriber lists.
If you have an existing website, landing page, membership platform, eCommerce store or just about any page that has any traffic already going to it – you can leverage that existing traffic to grow your Messenger bots.
Or, if you are planning on sending traffic to a certain landing page, eCommerce store or website you own, you can place the growth tools I am going to speak about below on that page in order to grow your Messenger bots (and subscribers).
Button Widget
The first growth tool we can use for our website traffic is the "Button Widget".
…and they are just that. Buttons.
They serve as a growth tool because they allow you to grow your Messenger bot traffic and subscribers directly from any website, landing page, eCommerce store (or any web page).
And where can you place these buttons?
Just about anywhere! Pop-ups, sidebars, in blog posts, as your main landing page button…
However, there are two "Button Types" which I need to explain in a bit more detail to avoid confusion down the road.
- Checkbox Plugin
- Send to Messenger
Checkbox Plugin Button Type
This adds a checkbox below your button, so that when it is clicked it automatically sends a message of your choice to the prospect.
Facebook will not ask them to accept any permissions like they do with the 'Send to Messenger' button option (explained next) because they automatically accept the permissions (consent to receive a message from your business) by clicking the actual checkbox below the button.
The main difference with the checkbox button, is that it acts as a secondary action to your primary button. As you can see in the screenshot above, there is a button that says "Download The Checklist". This button takes them to a download and is not linked to my Messenger bot.
The primary action of this button it to take them to the download for the checklist. The secondary action is the "checkbox". When a prospect clicks inside the checkbox, and then clicks "Download the Checklist", it will send them a Facebook message automatically. So it acts as a secondary action.
Another example of this would be if you had a webinar sign-up page, and your button on the sign up page was for submitting the page when they enter their name, email etc.
You could add a "Checkbox" below that button, and both would work simultaneously. In other words, you could still submit their details to sign up for your webinar AND send them a Facebook message at the exact same time.
- Primary action = Submission of details for signing up to the webinar
- Secondary action = Sending the Facebook message
The prospect will not be added as a Messenger bot subscriber until they reply to your message so it's advised to ask a question in your message to them in order to receive a response from them. Once they reply to your message, they are added as a Messenger subscriber of your Messenger bot.
Send to Messenger Button Type
This is the option to select if you don't want the checkbox below your button. It's sole action is to send a message to a prospect (and trigger them into your Messenger bot).
If you select this button type, when a prospect clicks on your button Facebook will ask them to accept permissions to receive a message from your selected Facebook page (the same Facebook page your Messenger bot is set up on). Once accepted, the prospect will be added as a Messenger subscriber of your selected Facebook page and (optionally) redirected to the link you specify.
Think of the "Send to Messenger" button type as the equivalent of an email sign up form for an email list – but for Messenger bots.
In the example I've provided above, we have a beginner's video series that prospects can sign up for by clicking our "Send to Messenger" button. When they click the button, they are sent a Facebook message every day for a few days with a new video explaining a new concept.
These buttons can be used for just about anything…
- Lead magnet files (deliver inside Messenger)
- Notification lists
- Membership sign ups (deliver the registration URL for your member's area inside Messenger after they become a subscriber)
- Education series (send them a message every day with a new content piece)
- Pop-ups on your eCommerce store to generate Messenger leads (and offer a discount in your first message to them)
Customer Chat Widget
Another way you can leverage traffic outside of Facebook (website, landing page, eCommerce store, membership or any web page) is the 'Customer Chat Widget'.
You will probably have noticed this one. It's used by plenty of websites (huge brands included) to not only automate customer support, but to grow their Messenger bot subscriber lists.
When a website visitor clicks the "Chat Now" button, it will initiate a customer chat window (just like you'd see with any other live chat platform).
Your Messenger bot works within this live chat window on your website. This is amazing for automating customer support and handling general questions (your Messenger bot has amazing capabilities for handling questions and delivering answers automatically).
Here are some reasons to use a 'Customer Chat Widget' on your website and/or landing pages.
- Everyone who starts a conversation becomes a Messenger Subscriber (did someone say growth?)
- All visitor conversations appear inside your Facebook page inbox as well as their Facebook inbox (let them know they can contact you via Messenger in the future if they need to)
- You can customize the call-to-action for users logged in or logged out of Facebook
- You can customize the color profiles to match your website/brand.
- It's mobile-friendly!
- It's incredible easy to install.
Traffic Source #3: Email Traffic
This is often overlooked as a potential traffic source for Messenger bots because people often mistakenly think they should replace their email list with a Messenger subscriber list.
We definitely can't argue the stats! Messenger metrics outperform email metrics by a mile.
The average open rate as reported by MailChimp's 2018 'Email Marketing Benchmarks' report is 22%.
Messenger boasts open rates of 80-90% and up to 5x the click-through rates compared to email.
While we can't tell anyone how to run their business, we highly recommend building your audience via email AND Messenger for the best of both worlds (not replacing one with the other).
If you're able to diversify how you build and reach your audience, there can only be positive outcomes from that.
Okay enough about Email vs Messenger 🙂
What is so great about this traffic source is that almost every business already has an email list.
So this is a quick go-to for kick-starting a Messenger bot!
How do you leverage an existing email list to send traffic to a Messenger bot (and diversify your audience over to Messenger)?
There are three ways you can do this…
Method #1 – Message Your Facebook Page
Simply broadcast an email to your email list, and send them step by step instructions for them to trigger your Messenger bot (and therefore become a Messenger bot subscriber).
An example could be:
Step 1: Go to our Facebook page (insert Facebook page URL).
Step 2: Click the "Send Message" button on our Facebook page.
Step 3: Send us a message with the keyword "Subscribe"
[Why they should do this]
[Sign off]
A great way to incentivize people to sign up to your Messenger list (since they're already on your email list) would be to offer something of value.
So at the end of your 3 steps, tell them that when they send your Facebook page a message with the specific keyword (which will be setup to trigger a message from inside your Messenger bot platform), they'll automatically receive a free report or something else of value right inside their Facebook inbox.
It could even be a coupon that they receive.
Method #2 – Reference URL Growth Tool
Another way you can transfer people over from your email list to your Messenger list would be by using a "Reference URL" growth tool (can be found inside MSGHero.com).
A reference URL is a link that when clicked, sends the user directly into your Messenger bot.
It's basically a "Share" link for your Messenger bot that you can share anywhere, to generate traffic into your Messenger chatbot.
Cool, right?
So you can create a share link (reference URL) for your Messenger bot, and insert it into your email. Anyone who clicks that link, will be triggered into your Messenger bot (and become a Messenger subscriber).
This avoids the hassle of including additional "steps" for your email list to take to sign up for your Messenger list (as shown in method #1 above).
You can simply insert the link directly into your email, hyperlink text inside your email or even insert the link into your email signature for outgoing emails to colleagues, prospects and customers.
Method #3 – Scan Code Growth Tool
If you do send and receive a lot of emails in your business, a GREAT way to empower the real estate of those emails (otherwise known as your email signature) – is to insert either a reference URL into your signature or a scan code (otherwise known as a QR code).
Above is an example of a scan code image (not the background, just the white box).
When a prospect successfully scans the image, they will be triggered into your Messenger bot you have set up for this specific scan (QR) code!
I'm going to dive into scan codes in more detail in the next traffic source section below.
Traffic Source #4: Offline Resources
Yes, you can even use offline resources to trigger your Messenger bots and grow your Messenger subscriber lists.
This is an amazing opportunity for local marketers, or just those looking to grow their brands offline and online.
So, what exactly do I mean by offline resources?
- Business Cards
- Flyers
- Physical Products (Coasters, T-Shirts etc)
- Banners
- Placements in Store Windows
- Etc etc…
These offline resources can be used to generate traffic into your Messenger bots.
Good question!
Offline Method #1 – Scan Codes
The first 'growth tool' that you can use is the "Scan Code" (otherwise known as a QR code) growth tool.
Tip: Use your scan code Messenger bot to introduce yourself/your brand and offer them something valuable upfront. Start your relationship off on the right foot whether it be with a discount or just a helpful video! Asking them to scan your code for a discount is a fantastic way to incentivize them to scan!
Once you've created a 'Scan Code' campaign inside your Messenger bot platform (such as MSGHero.com), you can share your scan code image anywhere!
Any person who scans your code, will be triggered into your Messenger bot. It acts a direct entry point into your chatbot.
Once you have your scan code for your Messenger bot, paste/print it on any of the 'offline resources' I mentioned above.
Here is how a prospect can scan your code:
Step 1: Go to their "Messenger" app on their mobile device.
Step 2: Click on the "People" tab at the bottom.
Step 3: Click on the "Scan Code" menu option at the top.
Step 4: Scan the image.
When they successfully scan the image, they will be triggered into your Messenger bot you have set up for this specific scan (QR) code!
This means they will be shown the "Get Started" window for your bot (as shown below) and when they click "Get Started" they will be sent your Messenger bot messages.
Important note: If they have an existing conversation thread open with your Facebook page, they won't need to click "Get Started" and they'll be sent the messages immediately upon scanning the code.
Offline Method #2 – Reference URLs
I've explained the Reference URL growth tool multiple times throughout this guide. Yes, they can be used for just about any traffic source and offline resources are no exception!
Simply get your reference URL (shareable link) for your Messenger bot (that when clicked, will trigger the person into your Messenger bot) from your Messenger bot platform and place/print it on any offline resource!
The links are short enough that people can easily take a photo of them for future reference, or if it's right in front of them they can simply type it into their browser's address bar.
Traffic Source #5: Influencer Traffic
This is the final traffic source we'll be covering in this guide and it's all around influencer traffic.
As this traffic source becomes more mainstream (thanks to Instagram and eCommerce), there are more viable ways to connect with influencers to run campaigns for your business.
This traffic source is when you're able to strike a deal with someone with somewhat of a following, to promote your business/brand/product.
You've probably seen plenty of celebrities doing this on Instagram (you might have seen how Gal Gaddot AKA Wonder Woman was running a Huawei promotion saying how she loves Huawei but posting from an iPhone – lol).
The reason it's so powerful is you're able to piggyback off of their authority they have with their audience. Their audience trusts them and their content, and that same trust influences their purchase decisions and behavior.
So when someone in a position of authority, or someone with a following (audience) promotes something, you are generally going to see a larger number of people sign up for whatever is being promoted because it's being recommended by someone they 'know'.
If you ran cold Facebook ad traffic to the same sample group, you'd definitely see lower sign-ups/conversions because there is no familiarity.
The recommendation holds A LOT of value.
So, how does this apply to Messenger bots?
Well, if you wanted to, you could have them share a "Reference URL" (shareable link to your Messenger bot) in a Facebook/Twitter/Instagram post.
You could even have them share a scan code (QR code) to your Messenger bot.
Now there would obviously need to be some kind of incentive for their audience to click the Reference URL or scan your code.
If you've done your research, and you have picked an influencer with a targeted audience for your business – offer them a coupon or something else of value for clicking the link.
An example would be if you were running a gaming business, and you struck a deal with a profession gamer to promote your bot's Reference URL in their stream or Facebook posts.
As a gaming business, you obviously would not approach a fitness influencer to promote your brand. The cross-over wouldn't be significant enough.
The great thing about Reference URLs, is you can set them up for a certain traffic source or traffic campaign and then track the amount of people entering your bot through that specific link.
Not all influencers are going to be a homerun. There are a lot of variables that play into whether the promotion will be a success…
- Your messenger bot
- Their engagement with their audience
- If they're audience is targeted for your business and bot
- How strong the incentive is
- Etc
If you're running an eCommerce store, this could be a great way to kill two birds with one stone.
You could have an influencer promote your Reference URL to grow your Messenger subscriber list and generate sales for your store by delivering a significant discount on their first order or on a specific product – inside your Messenger bot's first message.
So instead of sending them directly to your store's checkout page or a product page, send them via a Reference URL and you're generating a Messenger subscriber in the middle.
The Perfect Storm Strategy
Besides the cool sound of the headline above, how does it apply to everything in this guide?
Well, I've spoken about several traffic sources, and which growth tools can be used for each traffic source.
Hopefully I've done a good job of explaining those.
If I have, and you have a fundamental understanding of how a Messenger bot uses 'growth tools' as entry points – then we can move onto which ones should YOU use for YOUR business.
Now this is a tricky question.
Not every business is the same, and with everything in business – there's never a 'golden rule' for success.
My goal with this guide was to try and explain bots and how traffic can be generated to grow them.
My final bit of advice would be to use all of them (if possible). Or at least the ones you feel are easy (and most beneficial) to add into your existing business.
Remember my example of the shopping mall in the beginning of the guide?
Imagine that shopping mall had one entrance? No shopping malls have one entrance (I know I'm asking for trouble with this statement – please don't spam me links with shopping malls with one entrance haha) 🙂
…my point is the more entrances, the easier it is for people get inside to shop.
The same thing applies to Messenger bots.
If you have a website, you run ads and you have a Messenger bot setup that is more than enough to use at least 3 growth tools to make your Messenger bot work for you.
- Run a comment-response campaign on your ads
- Set up Messenger ads using the JSON Code growth tool.
- Place a "Send to Messenger" button in a pop-up on your website, or place one in your sidebar or in your most popular content pieces.
- Add a customer chat widget to your website.
- Send an email to your list with a Reference URL (in order to diversify how you build and reach your audience).
And these are just the frictionless growth attempts.
Get creative with how you create and execute your campaigns and the results will come.
Trust me – the excitement of seeing people interact with your bot (and seeing results from those interactions) are priceless.

Crowdsourcing Helps Investigators
The concept of "crowdsourcing" is getting a lot of press for being used by news organizations, but it can also be a help to accident investigators, they're finding out in Washington State. The idea behind crowdsoucing is that a whole group of people out in a community can do a much better job at collecting data than just one or two reporters or researchers. Gannett not too long ago announced that they'd be using the community to help them gather news.
Now accident investigators in Washington State are using the public to help in their investigations. This is related to the crane collapse that happened in Bellevue a couple of weeks ago. All the investigators had to work with was the aftermath of the collapse, a wrecked crane on the ground. But then someone came forward with a photo they had taken of the crane a week or two before, that showed it leaning slightly to one side. That got investigators thinking that there must be other photos out there, so they put out a public call for pictures of the crane when it was still standing. To date about 10 people have sent in photos, from just about every angle, and they're being collected into a book that's becoming a crucial part of the investigation. This is something the investigators couldn't have done by themselves; they can't go back in time. And it's not going to work in every situation. There's something about a skyline full of cranes that attracts more photographers than a more mundane subject. But people had noticed the tilt before the tower fell, so they took pictures.
The next step, the article says, is to gather this kind of information before an accident happens. It's great that there are all these pictures collected after the collapse, but what if they had somehow been gathered before? Might someone had taken notice that there was a problem, and taken steps to make sure the crane didn't collapse? It's hard for any one person to spot trends like that, but people as a group usually have a lot more power than individuals.
So crowdsourcing is something that will grow in prominence over time, especially if we start getting people to walk around with their eyes open and think of themselves as information gatherers. That's what I'm shooting for with Around Carson, and just yesterday someone reported a "Coming Soon" sign in a part of town I rarely go to. So if sites like this can act to funnel the wisdom of the crowds, all of us end up smarter and better informed for it.
And if you see a leaning crane, stop for a couple of seconds and take a picture.

I mean when it is upgraded to 4.1.1 would the random memory usage and system resources like battery, speed, and processor load be less in 4.1.1?
I mean when it is upgraded to 4.1.1 would the random memory usage and system resources like battery, speed, and processor load be less in 4.1.1?
Hello Drsunil. Well, most probably, it would be the opposite way round. If this is an official upgrade by your manufacturer, then like for almost any device, a software update means a somewhat slower overall experience and lesser battery life. Else, if you are doing it yourself (flashing the phone using a ROM), then it depends on the ROM you are using. Some ROMs are optimized for better performance, while some are for better battery life and some can do both!
I would suggest going for the upgrade.
Good luck!

You mean official upgrade is less advantageous than custom manual upgrade?
In most cases, yes, it is but it is a lot safer too. Manually upgrading your OS means voiding your waranty and if something goes wrong, you would have to shell out a lot of money to get it back to normal, which can be sometimes easy enough to be done by yourself (if you know how to) or can be nearly impossible (like in case of a hardbrick).
I'd suggest you first see if you like any custom ROM and are well versed with all the aspects of things like rooting and flashing. If you are confident enough and if the official update doesn't bring much changes, go for the 'manual' process.
Thanks for your detailed input on this subject
Usually,update for a device is delivered for making its performance better while bringing in new features.I searched online for some issues and didn't find anything.
If you are apprehensive about the issues it can bring,then wait for sometime to see any incoming issues persists in this update.
I understand
i doubt they will release a version that cause problems, this little version changes should make android more friendly.
Pl , can you weblink it's official upgrade process?

I could not get married to Meena as her family members objected it. But we decided to meet regularly to each other. She got ma/rried in 1976 to a handsome young man working as medical representative. LOVE is more strong than artificial / man made customs. I was now staying in my own rented flat just near Aunt Sarita's house. Since I was a bachelor aunt found one maid servant to look after the cleanliness of the house and to cook food for me.
Her name was Sunita and She was about 30 yr. old. Her skin was fair and she had nice figure for her age. Her boobs were about 38 D and she had solid 40 ass. Her husband had died in an accident leaving three girl children behind for her to look after. Her eldest girl, Sangeeta, was 15 yr. old and was studying in 10 standard.
Sunita used to come at 7 am in the morning and at 7 PM in the evening to complete her chores. I used to watch her with interest as she worked and was always thinking of how to seduce her. This continued for a week. All the while I was thinking of seducing this tight assed maid. One Sunday I got up as usual took my bath and was watching Rangoli on DD 1. Sunita came for the work, prepared the Tea and gave me one cup of it. She started to sweep the floor. Since she was doing it bending I could see her heavy boobs coming out of the blouse. This made me hot and my 9-inch cock started to grow. I was wearing shorts without any underwear and it was very difficult to hide my hard on. I was sitting on couch with my legs spread and I looked at my crotch to find it swollen. Sunita was sweeping the other side of the room and was not aware of this. I put my hand in my shorts and adjusted my cock on left side of the leg parallel to it. Since my cock is 9 inch, the cock head was now peeking out from the shorts. In the evening I was working on the computer when the doorbell rang. I opened the door and it was my beloved Aunt Sarita. I asked her to come in. We sat chatting on the couch. Aunt asked me how is Sunita and whether I had fucked her? I told her that she is a nice lady and I am very eager to fuck her 40-inch ass. Hearing this aunt laughed and said, " I thought you might have fucked her by now. Did you not? Oh my poor child. Your cock is getting hard just thinking about her ass, is it not you naughty boy." Saying so she pushed her hand in my shorts and held my cock tightly. "Oh the little devil is all hard and ready to fuck?" she said. With this she removed her gown and threw it on the floor. She came near me and took my shorts off. She bent her head and started to suck my cock, moving her tongue all over. It felt so nice and I started to buck my hips towards her mouth. I told aunt that Sunita has seen my cock and that she seems to be willing to participate in our game. Oh who the fuck I said and pulled my shorts from the floor and went to open the door. It was Sunita standing at the door. She looked at my sweat covered body and said, "Sir, what were you doing? Your body is all covered with sweat. Can I help you?" What could I say? She came in and went towards kitchen and saw Aunt Sarita sitting on the living room couch. Her face was covered with sweat and she was breathing faster. Her hair was scattered. Sunita saw all this and she was no dumb. I saw her eyes fixed on the puddle of come that had oozed out of aunt's pussy that had fallen on the floor. She went near Sarita and bend down to see what it was. I was very much worried to have been caught in the act. To my surprise Sunita put her fingers in the come and brought it to her mouth and licked it. " OH Madam Sarita this tastes nice. It has been a long time since I had sex. My husband was a good fucker and I used to suck his cock and drink his come. Will you please help me fuck? Aunt asked Sunita, " How old are your daughters?
Sunita , " Eldest is Sangeeta 16 yr., 2nd is 13 yr. and last one is 10 yrs old. Sangeeta is grown up and I have to arrange for her marriage." Sunita," Ohh Sangeeta is 16 yr. I was listening to this and my cock started to grow just thinking of fucking a 16-yr. old girl. Let's see how to go about it. What we did to Sangeeta, Sunita's daughter? Read in next story in couple of days.
Did you like the story of real life? I am 45 now and stay in PUNE. The maid, Sunita is now grand mother of six children and occasionally we get a chance to repeat what we did here. My aunt Sarita was bisexual and loved everything in sex. My cousin Meena too got the chance to witness my fucking Sunita.

18306 | GS300 | Rear Control Arm Bushing Replacement Kit
These bushings sport a much higher level of durability and performance than the OE bushings ever did, and will dramatically improve your overall handling.
Prothane 18-306
Loose Lexus?
Have you been hearing banging from the rear end of your Lexus GS300? Maybe you've noticed that you can't take corners as well as you used too? These issues could mean that your OE Rear Control Arm Bushings have worn themselves out. The OE Bushings installed on your Lexus GS300 are made of a soft rubber that's prone to stretching, cracking, and rotting away. Once this happens your Control Arm is left loose, not only hampering your handling but potentially damaging other chassis parts!
Increased Performance and Durability
This is Prothane's 18-306, a complete set of polyurethane Rear Control Arm Bushings designed specifically for the 1998-2005 Lexus GS300. These bushings sport a much higher level of durability and performance than the OE bushings ever did, and will dramatically improve your overall handling. Since the 18-306 is made with polyurethane instead of soft rubber your NVH might increase slightly, but the increase in dependability and handling are well worth it.
Easy to Install and Cost-Effective!
Ease of installation was also a major part of Prothane's design for the 18-306. They eliminated the need for a press by creating their Control Arm Bushings as two half-bushings and a metal sleeve. You just insert each half bushing on either side of the control arm, then slip the sleeve through. The 18-306 is cost-effective as well! The sleeves that go with each of these bushings are designed to fit your OE bolts, saving you money on the repair. The 18-306 is covered with a lifetime warranty handled in house here at DST.

starstarstarstarstar_border" Good parts, wrong instructions "
The bushings fit and ride great. However, the instruction note to leave the shells in-place. The bushing will never fit, so it must be removed, with exception to the lower control arm bushing.verified_user Verified Buyer - Jake Matos - . Prothane 18306 - 4 out of 5

Landlord finds 50 stone pig living inside property!!

I found this story on the internet and thought it served as a lesson in doing regular property visits.......
A Lincolnshire landlord renting out his parents' property had a porky surprise last month, after finding that a Vietnamese pot bellied pig had made the place its home.
Dr Gary Armstrong thought he was letting his three-bedroomed bungalow to an RAF serviceman alone, however a recent visit revealed a huge pig – along with £7,500 worth of damage.
The hog mistaken for a dog
Alarm bells began to ring when a builder reported a 'large dog' at the property, despite the fact that Dr Armstrong had slapped a strict ban on any pets. The tenant was told to remove the dog (in reality a 50 stone pig) but he ignored the requests leading to Dr Armstrong's shocking discovery last month.
He explains: "The whole thing started to come together as the state of the house and garden were not consistent with a dog. On a previous inspection we had been kept out of one room where I suspect the pig was hiding. The house is in a shocking state. On a personal note, it's so upsetting to see a much loved family home ruined." The 36-year-old added: "It was huge - it had tusks."
An expensive swine
According to Dr Armstrong the property will need new floor covering, along with repairs to the garden and patio. "As you can imagine, a pig living in the house equals a lot of dirt, the walls are filthy" he said, "The house absolutely stinks and is full of long pig hairs. The garden is a state."

The Basement Smell Report is in: Cheese smell: 8/10; Feet smell: 7/10; Unidentified smell: 3/10. Vic and Scott make room in their piquant subterranean lair for a truly special guest: actor Michael Mando. He, of course, plays Vaas Montenegro in Far Cry 3, the baddest bad guy since the Mother Brain. (Who, technically, is a woman.) (Side note: What if Mother Brain and Vaas made a baby? WHAT THEN?) Anyway, Mando was a special guest at the recent Canadian Videogame Awards. That's where Vic and Scott became friends with Mando. Oh, and he's also one of the stars of the TV show Orphan Black, which is really good, if you need a new TV show to watch. Mando tells all kinds of crazy stories on today's show. And some of his stories are downright moving. No kidding. Listen, and you will be moved. Also: Vic and Scott talk Iron Man 3, which is in theaters this weekend. Vic describes the movie as "amazing." Scott, on the other hand, wonders if Happy has any weight-related health issues. Ah, Vic and Scott: WILL THEY EVER LEARN TO GET ALONG? Let's hope not.
