Once you are here, then it is only time you will need for unpacking your gear, and nestling into your web presence. You will be faced with a space to put up your web pages; drag and drop your created web pages; and you will be advised to create a folder called "Images", where you will double click to open, and you will place your pictures, logos, and other images in. A good tip: take note of web address, path, http://www.yourdomain.com/images/pic1.gif as you will need this to direct your picture (pic1.gif) from images folder to your web page.

Do you know much about trends going on here as far as "community trade", or "community" and/or "trade" is concerned? YOU are there... just walk down road to supermarket... they have done this all before... take a GOOD look at what they are doing. Give you three examples: ONE, a shop front (Net website front page, with facility to design it yourself direct from BROWSER ...no software); TWO, backend (Offline accounts, delivery regimes, contacts, diaries, calendars, staff BBS, client feedback, etc... all these are done via browser too); THREE, Staff/client interaction, ("can I take your order please?", can I help you, can I order it in for you, would you like me to put you on my mailing list??? All done by BBS, and instant Messager chat). Now ...you tell me? BTW: this is our latest venture - "net cities" - new face of Net, "community" and "trade" side by side.... we are ahead by two years, don't ask me how that is... I have to keep SOME secrets. Look through stats sites! We will be releasing this this month - Feb 2001. What do you personally feel about future of "online advertising"? It will keep on changing, and only way to keep up is by having an ear among users. This we have done, we are heavy into Ezine writing, articles... we have 4 writers whose job it is to WRITE about anything and everything... look at discussions lists, comment on opinions and THAT is a possible article.... THIS is an article of which I will tidy up, later and post to all Ezines and directories and article submission sites and even make into a web page and submit it to all search engines and links pages..... ONLINE advertising is now fast becoming a dirty word... because Media has done it again... no self control, used every bit of net real estate to splash it on.... hence people are becoming de-sensitized at least, and overloaded at worst.... Bringing us right back to original starters of Internet craze, they are so worried about losses in advertising income that their answer is to saturate it more.... where as... less advertising (like weeds) would give chance for garden to grow back to its glory again. (Sounds like that Peter Sellers movie!). What I would suggest is to get a free software called Copernic it is a search engine user.... at www.copernic.com Use this to look up 'Internet Stats' or 'web stats', it is a great software to keep on hand for other projects.. as it retains search results. Get this and search out stats... you will be horrified to know that ONLY 6.1% of worlds population have web access, and only 4.1% use it to browse, and only 0.16 of worlds population understand what WE are talking about!! SO... conclusions... why advertise online when they generally know it all already, it costs too much offline to advertise Net...as Yahoo and AOL have found.... There is 2% of worlds pop. that are connected but not browsing...emails etc.... And 5.84% of worlds pop. that are on line and know enough to use discussions lists, newsgroups, Ezines, NOT technical!!, looking to possibly make net their new social home. Conclusion: WRITTEN word is best form of ONLINE advertising today. Get word out... JUST text... leave ads at home... or incorporate them into articles cleverly.... look at our Ezine: AllnetPromotion News - http://www.gblast.com/mnews/mnews7.htm simple... but HIGHLY effective...our stats have increased 4 to 5 times ..... nothing special.... built HONEST, USEFUL information...not kind ANY big newspaper hammers out that matches all other papers. To pinpoint Switzerland.... find out who they are... what they have done in their past... what type of people are they? Then build something THEY want...not what YOU think they want.... Is trade ONLY "time pieces" or are there other things that they do, what is community based on? How and where do they shop and why? You don't have to have world best website... nor worlds most interactive... remember ONLY 0.16% of WORLD has patience to USE Internet Technical wizardry. So keep it simple and local. Hope this has helped... long winded I know... but it is a passionate subject for us at GloPro and trying to condense Net in a few statements is not possible. Keep in touch.
