Snap wants to get Snapchat’s young-skewing user base to buy more stuff through the social app. As part of that strategy, Snap has acquired Fit Analytics, a German apparel size-recommendation engine that helps online shoppers virtually find the right clothing size. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. Founded in 2010, Berlin-based Fit Analytics provides a product called Fit Finder to over 18,000 retailers and brands. Through this acquisition, more than 100 Fit Analytics team members will join Snap, most of which are technical staff across engineering, data science and product roles. The drive to boost ecommerce revenue is part of Snap’s ambitious growth strategy: The company is projecting top-line increases of at least 50% annually over the next several years — a forecast that isn’t predicated on growth the Snapchat user base, according to CEO Evan Spiegel. Snap sees clothing as a massive opportunity. According to research firm Piper Sandler, apparel and accessories currently represent one-third of total U.S. teenager spending and is the largest single category among the cohort. As part of Snap, Fit Analytics will continue to serve its existing clients. It also will work with the Snap product team to grow its e-commerce and shopping offerings,…

(Photo Illustration by Mateusz Slodkowski/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images)YouTube has rolled out a YouTube Studio tool that checks for possible copyright violations during the video upload process. According to a screenshot shared by social media consultant Matt Navarra (by way of XDA Developers), the tool, which is called Checks, examines a video for "any copyright issues that may restrict its visibility." Creators can address any issues that emerge before the video is published. They'll see details about the problem, including the timecode and the impact it will have on the video.The Checks system is about reducing the number of videos that have copyright claims or issues that limit ads, according to YouTube. The copyright checks usually take under three minutes and ad suitability checks are typically wrapped up within two minutes. Checks will allow creators to avoid having to upload videos as unlisted to find out if visibility or monetization will be restricted when it's made public. Creators can publish their video while checks are running but they run the risk of their video being limited if…

Art consultant Illa Gaunt hosts weekly Sunday art lessons on her popular Instagram account, @_ig_art. Here, she poses in front of a photograph by Chuck Ramirez. Photo: Jenny Antill PhotographyIlla Gaunt understands that the art world can be intimidating. There’s so much to learn — the key players, the various movements and the terminology.

Her 13,000 and counting followers (@_ig_art) wake up every Sunday morning to a new curriculum-style Instagram story.

And bipartisan.” The topics vary, though the timing and approach are consistent. “It’s easy to digest for someone who might not know much about art history,” she explains. “People are drawn to the fact that there’s much story behind an image. Sometimes that…

Overcoming personal fears and gaining lucrative business opportunities were just two of the many upsides. Free Book Preview Winfluence Get a glimpse of how to influence your audience’s buying habits using traditional and unconventional influencer marketing techniques.

Henry Fonda, one of the most celebrated actors in American history, had every reason to be confident before an audience---yet he threw up before every performance.Despite his awards and celebrity he suffered from stage fright throughout his entire career. According to The War of Art author, Steven Pressfield, the lesson here is twofold: First, fear doesn’t disappear with success, awards or age. Secondly, “the warrior and the artist live by the same code of necessity, which dictates that the battle must be fought anew every day.” For years I’ve wrestled with imposter syndrome.  I’ve spent countless nights researching, writing and editing blog posts. The majority of which have never seen the light of day. To hit “publish” would mean facing my fear of criticism and embarrassment regarding the validity of my ideas. In 2020 I made a promise to myself: Hit "publish" once a day and apparently I wasn't alone in wondering where this might lead.A recent survey of 2,500 people, including 500 small business…
