That s a good idea to advertise on sites where your demo hangs out...I guess for jewelry i would have to advertise on jewelry forums and 'chic' sites. I actually made a cheezy website for this person with paypal...I really dont enjoy web design so who can do the best cheapest sites with credit card paymentS?
You can just use a wordpress blog and they look pretty nice. I've found that a big fancy ass looking site rarely does any better or worse then one that looks like it was designed by a 3rd grader. Again this might not be the case in retail, I have no experience in that business, but it certainly is true with info products. This http://www.doubleyourdating.com/ site is, for example, generating over $5 million per year in sales.
A lot of web 2.0 companies are intentionally delaying profitability to build up a userbase. Venture capital funding has only slowed a little so the majoirty of established web 2.0 sites aren't running low on cash. Facebook is currently leading the smartist, web 2.0 revolution and is still worth $30 billion despite not yet being profitable. Profitability isn't as important as traffic and marketshare.
I do web stuff and follow all the different levels... the best i can although it morphs constantly... Web 1.0.. You build site you get traffic you do not get feedback from traffic directly only through analytics, etc.. Web 2.0... You build site... You get traffic and you interact with that traffic so they can interact with you so you get STICKY traffic... (they stay longer on your pages and they come back more often)... its two way interaction between user and web builder... were the web builder is reacting to the web user on a faster time scale then 1.0... because of the feedback and level of interaction... Interaction with traffic... 1. Blogs 2. Forums 3. email newsletters 4. RSS Feeds 5. Comments sections 6. Good auto responder email systems... 7. Wiki's 8. FAQ pages users can add to etc... 9. Video's users can upload 10. Collaboration Pages... etc... HAVE STOP <img src="http://www.enflow.com/p.gif"> WILL TRADE
You forgot a couple: - Online scamming/fraud - Online vendoring (legal version of the above) I have one question - what has this got to do with trading?
which ones can you name that are profitable? Again these sites are great for getting traffic to your site. I know a guy who has made over half a million just because of twitter- but twitter itself has not figured out how to monitize it's own traffic. I love web 2.0, it's the easiest traffic you can get since the late 90's if you know how to use it, but the funny thing is that the people who actually own the big sites seem to be the ones that know least how to use them.
Yeah because that worked so well in 2000. Hey Turder, The year 2000 called, they want the lesson you didn't learn back.
again what is web 2.0 per say? is youtube a site that makes no money?I dont see many banner ads etc there...how bout myspace?
Youtube has no banners, but they do have PPC video which they just started. I have not used it yet, but I know a few guys who are and they are getting a great ROI out of it.
