View Full Version : Hello from Portugal :)
Hi to all.
First of all, sorry my English but i am portuguese :)
Congrats to all the collections displayed here, they are AWESOME!
I also collect, mostly consoles and steelbooks.
I have a blog where i try to do some unboxings:
http://ocolecioneiro.blogspot.pt/
It is in Portuguese. Do you guys think i should publish in English, for a big audience?
Thanks, i am truly proud of being part of this community :)

Welcome to the community djm!:welcome:
I don't really know much Portuguese (except "Ishta un bon dia") (Not even sure if that's spelled right, but that's how I say it occasionally). With tools like Google Translate and such, its pretty easy for those who browse only in English to read it, but you'd probably get more views/hits with English writing too I'd imagine. I DO love your pictures though, very nicely done and formatted!
Either way though, I look forward to seeing your collection! Let me know if you've got any questions - there's plenty of people around here who are happy to help out!
Thanks.
I think you mean "Está um bom dia" :)
I also have more pictures on my facebook page:

This was a try from 2008 to photo all my collection at that time:

Wow! That's awesome! It's really neat seeing so many different games out like that all in one picture! Jealous of your boxed N64 too - been trying to get one for awhile since I got rid of mine.
Also, your FB pics are AMAZING! Love that shelving unit of GOW statues and stuff! You totally have to post those on here! :)

That's pretty awesome -- I pictured you on a bunch of awkwardly stacked cushions or something... step ladder sounds much safer!
This really make me wonder what my (or other) collection(s) would look like if I (we) unboxed all the games and placed them on the floor like that... Again, its really awesome! :notworthy:

Wow, didn't realize SMG2 had a "special" edition? Was that released only in Germany or something?
It was a Portuguese (at least) limited edition.

Thank you for your feedback! I will try to translate all posts to english and post everything in english from now on.

Well, i will share here my gaming room/man cave evolution, from my parents house (2003) to my current house (2015).

Cool stuff you've got there. Have you ever thought of making unboxing videos for the big collector's editions?
Hi,
to be honest no, i have never made an unboxing video as there are so many of them on Youtube made by pros.

Yeah that's what I thought. Difficult to obtain visibility with all these unboxing videos everywhere
That said, I don't know about portuguese unboxing videos, maybe there is not too much of them
Almost zero as far as i know.

I would remove the Trading Cards part since it seems is not something you are keen on keep up collecting.
And do you still have the blog in Portuguese or are you just focusing in English now?
I am collecting Trading Cards, mostly Pokémon. I now have 7000 unique ones. I just don´t have the time to update the blog with everything.
As for the language, i switched to English, for a wider audience.

Ok that is a lot of cards lol
You switched to a wider audience but also to a much more competitive language when it comes to mark an online presence.
Portuguese language is not that small of a target audience as people may think, after all Portuguese is the 7th most spoken language in the World and the number of gaming blogs in Portuguese is considerably smaller.
If you managed to keep your previous audience and gather more with the change to English that is great, but i think it could be smart to keep a version of the blog in Portuguese as well.
Hum... you made a good point. I´ll think about it.

If you use a plugin like this https://wpml.org/ (that one is paid but probably there will be free ones) you can direct users to the portuguese or english version according with their location so you do not have to make 2 blogs.
Also a lot easier to do SEO to just 1 blog than to 2... although i never did SEO to a multilingual site so not sure how hard or not it can become.
But then again, if you look at your analytics and the Portuguese traffic have kept flowing in and you got some traffic from other countries since you changed to English then maybe you have it right just as it is... :d
