What Is Web 2.0 And How Will It Affect Internet Marketers?
If you're a internet marketerconsidering a home based business in network marketing, you're most likely in one of two boot camps; those who can upload, download, and create hyperlinks with ease and those whose head starts to throb devastatingly at the mention of domains, HubPages, and Squidoo.
The new Web 2.0 wave that is about to hit is for those internet marketers who want to position themselves on the top to have massive online success. For those who don't jump on this opportunity now, you'll miss the boat and be kicking yourself years from now. Simply put, you're indirectly killing yourself.
Just what are Web 2.0 and how will affect the internet marketer?
Simply put, or to me; Web 2.0 is not exactly a thing or a software; it's a state of mind. It is a reflection on the changing state of the web in comparison to how things used to be. The term was invented by Tim O'Reilly and Dale Dougherty at a conference brainstorming session in 2005, and of course it is a catchy term, so it caught on and stayed with us. To put it simpler, the rules on how to play the game has changed, and you can't change the rules, you just have to play along with it.
The main idea within Web 2.0 is a user generated and owned content, collaboration, and enablement. Web 2.0 is representing a market shift in consumer attention from expert-generated content (Yahoo) to user-generated content (Google). Social networking using MySpace, FaceBook, YouTube, and Blogger are examples of this. It's given everyone, yes even the serious entrepreneur, a voice that can potentially be heard from all corners of the world.
To most people and companies it is like a buzzword. People use it in any way that is advantageous to them. Businesses use it to great advantage as a marketing tool. And in the network marketing industry, it's a way to advertise your home business using free websites. It's a free way to advertise your business, and it is a must if you ever want to be success.
