#RiteTag for #indie #webshows

 I would like to extend to everyone who is up for  - of web shows, original anime series, web series, musical content, and other creative stuff that you need to get seen.
I would like to help by showing you how you can always be reaching beyond your followers.
I want to do two  with you all, in one, I’ll show you what can be done with a brand new,  tool, RiteTag, for getting tags that will reach more than the ones you know – but still, not be .
In the first hangout, the quickie RiteTag stuff I want to show you all would take like fifteen minutes to show you all:
1. Save your usually-used social networks in the account page.  Takes seconds, save you time forever, can be changed anytime.
2. Back on the Reports page, use that query box to give a word (or a couple) to search, and toggle on/off the social networks for which you want  information.  Order your report.  Rinse and repeat a couple times.
3. Let’s peruse the Public Library at the bottom of the Reports page.  Yes, it’s still good and ugly, unorganized.  I’m starting to think that  should really, really do something about that.  From a public report that strikes your fancy, or the one that I ordered for , for     (get with that yet?),  and  entitled #webseries or the one I got started for  that’s digging away at *Stockholm* (but we’ll need to do better at pointing RiteTag towards tags right for your show, Goldie), we’ll do what you can do anytime, to optimize reach of your own stuff, with tags that go the distance.
4. Got a blog or something like it?  Let me show you how you can also curate and aggregate content – from your own accounts, partners’, and your competitors (got none, right? same here.) – and save it to your Collections.  That stuff makes for easy curated Blog posts, with proper and easy attribution to original content creators (of course!), as I show in http://osakabentures.com/2012/11/ritetag-collections-for-blogging/and http://osakabentures.com/2012/11/user-experience-ritetag-collection/
We’ll get you ordering reports, and then, a day… a week (whatever) later, we can look at what you can do with your reports, such as:
1. Study the context in very recent updates, tweets, etc. that contain tags you don’t know – to understand if they are likely to be right for your content.
2. Look at who, what and when tags are shared, and how many times.  After all, if a tag is actually *in play* (well-used), its likely people are watching.  And we want you in front of those watching – especially if they are not following you yet.
3. Once you know which you will be using again and again, get your tags, tap, tap, tap-style, and save ‘em for later – in #tagsets.
4. That same tap-tap-tap (tick-boxes next to tags in any report) to save tags to your clipboard and use them anywhere immediately.
5. You can use reports that are gathering data once they have some data (percentages will show), but get reports out of your queue when they reach 100%.  A button opens under reports at 100%: move them to the Public Library so all  can have at them, or, for those that you are keeping miscellaneous *black ops* marketing purposes, send those to your Private Library.  They’ll show on your Reports page – but only to you.
*All this explained above can be done in this early iteration of RiteTag.  We’re totally free while in beta, and there will always be plenty you can do with RiteTag – for free.  Ordering reports seem like a thing to do?  I’d do plenty now – while that is free.
