Paid to Web 2.0?

Wednesday, March 12th, 2008

===================================
Be sure to read our special bonus offer you
will not get anywhere else.

===================================

Dear Blog Visitor,

We’ve been reading a lot about the Web 2.0 in generallately, including it’s history and all of it’s uses…

There is VAST potential out there we are not using yet!

For instance, there is a very famous Marketer by thename of Seth Godin who pretty much pioneered Web 2.0, and he went on to found Squidoo.

One of the fundamental thoughts driving Web 2.0 is a quote of his; “Everyone is an Expert.”

It basically means that if someone is talking about the subject of what you ate for lunch today, YOU are the expert in that field.

Keywords out there are dedicated to you, 24/7/365. You’re the go-to person on several such subjects that could be searched in google for at any time!

(Scary, huh?)

We realize that it may be hard to think of this simple mindset for being responsible for all of Web 2.0, including the many big sites like YouTube, Squidoo, MySpace, Facebook, and Digg, but that is exactly what drives them and allows them to be profitable.

We already had a system in place to spread the biggest news’ out there. It’s called the Press and their AP newswire.

Web 2.0 makes YOU the new press and it is in fact cutting into a HUGE chunk of the profession’s profits…

Nearly half of America, for instance, reads Digg.com daily, so therefore isn’t turning on the Channel 4 news as much!

(TV Advertising rates have been dropping ever since Web 2.0 was created!)

So what does this mean for you? What impact should this have on your day?

Well, if YOU are the new press, why aren’t you being PAID to submit your news each time you use digg, squidoo, or any other web 2.0 website?

Think about it… A huge central focus of where we get our news is changing rapidly, but the new business model is to NOT PAY the new Reporters!

Well, you know SOMEONE is getting paid…

Luke Parker figured this out earlier than most of us and created a system that allows you to get paid for using Web 2.0… And paid well.

Believe it or not, he’s got a list as long as your arm of different places you can go to submit your news every day for cash!

That’s right, you can get PAID to report about your weird toenail clippings now… And in fact you really should have been paid for it all along, according to Luke!

He goes one step further and shows a way not just to get paid for the random gossip we mostly see out there, but to compound your income by thinking smarter…

For instance, if you have a business online you’d like to advertise, then he suggests you use these resources to get paid to promote that business!

Press for your business is another kind of news, and Luke makes tons of cash every day doing just that! We’ve been watching his Surefire Success System since it was just a ‘Version 1.0,’ and it was pretty impressive stuff already… But starting tomorrow at 11am EST, it’s graduating to full 2.0 status…

He’s added all kinds of tools and beefed up his strategy even more, so we really are looking forward to learning all about it ourselves!

If you haven’t seen it yet, check out Luke’s exciting free film on his site right now before he takes it down and puts up the new offer page:

Commenter Provides Better Input Than “Heavy Weight” When Weighing In On the Subject of Social Networking Sites As Potential Advertising Hotspots

Wednesday, March 12th, 2008

It’s late, but I don’t want you to think that’s what has me slightly grumpy, it’s not. What got me was a short piece written in the Webpronews.

Writer David Utter, in his featured article Beware Social Networking Ad Buzz does another one of his quick looks (without much fact) and provides a sweeping opinion (without declaring it is opinion) on whether or not social media sites like Facebook and Myspace are really designed to help online businesses grow. He (continues) to insist that these sites are filled with college-types not much interested in anything business related. This isn’t the first time I’ve seen him say this very same thing… and it drives me nuts. Every time I read his absolute-sounding statements I wonder what he’s basing these statements on? Statistical fact or personal opinion? Because statistically he’s wrong.

I’m not about to disclose my age but suffice to say college has been several years in my past, yet I frequent social media hot spots and I’m aware of numerous individuals my age and older doing the same.

Social media communities are filled with all kinds of people, of all ages. A trip around any of them, checking profiles and seeing who’s who, can show you that much. Facebook even provides demographics for heavens sake…!

After reading his article, it became apparent to me that the person most “in the know” was the first commenter to his article, Lyn Mettler. Lyn wrote:

“I personally think that the way to go online is not to pay to have a presence but to actively get involved, such as by setting up a page for your business on MySpace or Facebook and using that as a tool to reach out to your target audience.

I’ve never been convinced that paid advertising online fares much better than paid advertising in traditional media. It’s much better (more credible and authentic) to get a story about your business published in the newspaper than to pay for an ad, and similarly it’s better to have a page on MySpace than to pay for placement there (excluding pay per click).

One other point, these social networks are definitely not just for the 20-something, college-age crowd. All age groups are getting on in huge numbers. A couple stats I found:

More than 50 percent of all MySpace users are now over the age of 35, according to comScore Media Metrix.

Between May 2006 and May 2007 the number of unique users on Facebook over the age of 35 grew 98% to 10,412. — comScore Media Metrix”

Hats off to Lyn for stating so clearly the reason for any internet marketer to venture into the social media arena. “To actively get involved” is the key phrase there. Clearly social websites are not the place to go barging in and spamming the living daylights out of all and sundry. Common sense, a sense of community and fair play, and above all an understanding of these communities can and will take any online entrepreneur far.

Seems like David needs a wake up call - and a research partner. Give it a rest David :)

(I did weigh in, couldn’t leave Lyn just hanging there alone lol)
