06 Dec 09 Why E-Book Readers Got More Male Buyers Than Female?

In a research conducted by Mediamark Research & Intelligence, it was found that more males than the females are using e-book readers in the United States. Why is it so? Why despite women being more into books and reading are not using electronic book reading devices? And why male members of society who read less than their female counterpart reads (or buys) more e-book readers?

The possible explanation to this could be their (male members) love for the gadgets or say everything that is electronic. And may be (here I am guessing), the men’s love for gadgets has put the other half of their life away from it. After all, it is the matter of attention: who is paying attention to what.

Research findings

56.3% of e-book are men, where as female constitutes the rest 43.7% of the readers.
Adults aged between 35-54 are 20% more likely to buy an e-book readers.
87% of the e-book readers have annual household income of more than $100,000.
11% of the e-book reader are more likely to own their home in comparison to average US adult.
111% are more likely to have a graduate or post graduate degree than average American.

The study should also have concentrated on finding the following:

How many e-book owners actually read books on the device?
How many hours do they spend on reading anything on the reader?
How does owning an e-book reader have affected their reading habit? Have they started to read more or got so intoxicated by the device that actual reading has gone down?

The result will then give the actual figure of e-book readership. The current study has just given a figure of how many people own an e-book reader.

21 Sep 09 Give Better Presentations

If you’re working in the corporate world, at almost any job, you’ll find that at times you have to give presentations. If those presentations have to be given during a meeting, in front of an audience, you’ll find you’re judged on a lot more than just what you have to say. Writing a good presentation isn’t even half the battle of being a good presenter. Your words aren’t as important as how you use them, and that’s all part of becoming a good presenter.

The first place you should start, is knowing what you’re talking about. Having a well written presentation is all well and good, but you need to really know your stuff. No presentation is complete without a Q&A period at the end. If you don’t really know what you’re talking about, you won’t be able to answer those questions. That would make you look really bad, so know your stuff!

Understand your audience, because you’ll have to tailor your presentation to them. Are you trying to sell an idea or a product? Are you trying to make a name for yourself and what you’ve accomplished? Or is your presentation purely to educate somebody about a certain work related topic? All questions you should ask yourself when preparing, as the answers should change how you decide to do your presentation. The way an idea is presented when you’re trying to sell it, is much, much different than how you would teach.

Now plan your presentation. Make a detailed outline of the topics you want to touch upon, and decide the best order possible for you to bring them across. Consider your audience, and the goal of your presentation, and choose the best arrangement to serve those needs. Try to influx your ability into this part, so that you can ensure your presentation will flow, and will gain the attention you want.

Finally, in the actual delivery of your presentation, make sure your body language is on point. You want to appear positive, and in a good mood at all times. Even if things aren’t going your way, stay insightful and courteous. Dress to impress, so stay professional, and keep your body language positive. That means good posture, and healthy gestures with your hands while speaking. Practice your speech so that you aren’t nervous during delivery, and so that you don’t fumble across any words. With the practice and knowledge on hand, you’re on the right path to making your presentation successful.
