IM Gaming

Hey everyone, thanks for being on the 10th episode of my IM Gaming podcast! This time I take the opportunity to talk about a game design principle that I call the Double Twist Approach. It might be useful when it comes to defining a setting for a game, but also when you feel you're kind of stuck with all of your old ideas. I hope you'll like it and subscribe if you do!

Here’s an overview of a popular Reddit post I created recently and how it went through its rise to a bit of Reddit fame. I also analyze what I got from it in terms of my primary conversion, which is getting some traffic that would result in Amazon book sales.

I created this post for the /r/GetMotivated/ community and it's about overcoming procrastination. I usually post things related to productivity and procrastination, while Reddit is my main source of sales on Amazon. If the post gets some traction I leave a comment with the link to my book. 

This time, I made a simple text poster using Canva with a basic notion on which my book resides - using emotional awareness and acceptance to overcome procrastination. Here's how it hit 11k.

 - It got to its first 100 upvotes in about 2-3 hours. 

 - From there, it took it about an hour to 800-900 and quickly break through the 1k mark.

 - As the US audience began joining in, it exploded.

 - The next several thousands of upvotes came over about 16 hours or so.

 - When it reached 11k, it began slowing down, somewhere around 22 hours after posting.

 - In the hours after that, it got another 900 upvotes and then died down.

When I saw it's going well, I left a comment with the link and it quickly got to about 300 upvotes. So, I’m guessing I got a lot of traffic there to my page on Amazon.

The results:

I sold six books (four on the first day and two on the second, along with about 100 KENP pages read), so nothing to write home about. I’m guessing it’s because people on the subreddit are interested in procrastination but not focused on it enough to buy books. I also got a handful of Reddit and Twitter followers, one random direct inquiry and some unexpected YouTube views on my previous podcast episode for the sheer fact that it was the post I left before this one. Not the best results ever, but still an interesting experience.

Hey everyone, thank you so much for checking out the new episode of my  IM Gaming podcast in which I talked about the results of going viral, or  at least the results of your content getting a lot of attention. While  most choose to focus on how to go viral or how to make a viral video for  YouTube, there is also another aspect many overlook -  what to do when  you do get popular. In this episode exam two such moments and the  different outcomes of both situations. I also talk about the set up you  should have in place before you work on how to make your content go  viral.

Hi everybody and thank you so much for being on my latest episode of the IM Gaming podcast! This time I will talk about content creation and why it is important to stick with it even when you feel like quitting. Starting as a content creator might be easy but staying motivated is not. The same goes for staying productive as a content creator. It doesn't matter which platform you use, because staying motivated on YouTube is just as hard as staying motivated on Twitch or Mixer. This is why I talked about the specific type of content creator mindset which can support a constant content creator motivation. This  includes a really simple mindset tip for content creators where you first create your content creation strategy and then prepare yourself for the long game of slowly building up your brand.

Hey everyone and thanks for tuning in a new episode of the IM Gaming podcast! This time, I talk about how to market your indie game and why the Bucket Concept is so crucial in the overall indie game development. Now, we all know that promoting your indie game is anything but easy and there are many complex guides on how to market your game, based on things like lifetime value, user acquisition, KPI, and other things few of us really get or use in any meaningful manner.  Instead, the Bucket Concept bases itself on building a meaningful community of core fans and seeing everything else emerge from it.

Hey everyone, thanks for checking out my new episode of the IM Gaming podcast, a place where gaming industry, entrepreneurship and gaming nostalgia collide in violent and hopefully interesting manner! This time, I will talk about the idea of having a gaming product and how this differs when you're basically only providing a service in the same domain.

Hey everyone, in the second episode of IM Gaming Podcast I’m talking  about the whole idea of going retro for your small and indie games. While it might sound like a great blend of things many players find cool and the things you find cool, the approach is not as easy as it might  seem. Also, I examine the case of Death Saves streetwear brand that, in my  view, does the whole retro thing really well.

Hey everyone, thanks for checking out the first ever episode of IM  Gaming Podcast! My name is Ivica and in this one-person show I plan to  talk about the video game industry, gaming entrepreneurship and add to  that a bit of gaming nostalgia. As someone who started gaming in 1990 (IBM XT PC) and began building small side gigs in 2008, I’ll try and  explore further this - at least in my mind - unified field of games,  entrepreneurial ventures and that desire to stay engaged with the video  game domain. Thanks for checking it out and I hope I’ll see you in the future IM Gaming Podcast episodes!
