"Trade" and "Community" as two separate idealsWritten by M6.net
Continued from page 1
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.

4. Go to Discussion groups, (i.e. http://www.lsoft.com/lists/listref.html a huge list of Discussion groups, which may have GAMES lists), and join in on discussions, become a GURU here too. DON'T answer everything though... be HELPFUL, and show all your links ... people are very curious and will click on to your links. 5. Ezines... make an Ezine and tell all ABOVE about it. When you have an Ezine (which is easy to make, just a web page of links like ours http://www.gblast.com/mnews/mnews8.htm which we copy and paste into an mail and tidy abit, then send out using "BCC" only NOT "CC" or people will have your email address list), then you offer to show peoples articles, ads, softwares and programs etc.... this will result in a place for like-minded Net users to come to. 6. Once you have an Ezine use this... I put it together for my own use and now have hundreds of people using it http://www.gblast.com/mnews/promostuff.htm Ignore articles they are Marketing and promotion articles, you can use them if you wish of course, but further down page there are links to Ezines, Ezine directories, article placement places, and article announce sites, etc.... I go through this regularly, and we employ promoters and writers to do same. 7. One of our OWN products..... use this it is EXCELLENT (if I might say so myself!!) 2bpop - http://www.2bpop.com Use it to contact people and keep information as you browse net. You can catalogue your links in a database list; set up template messages that can be changed just before they are sent; use it as a browser only, or use it as an ordering tool. There are many ways 2bpop is usefull but most usefull is as a tool to search, browse, contact and catalogue new avenues of promotion. 8. Last one.... go to site review directories and put good reviews up about your particular products, then others will follow, BUT make sure you correct bad reviews if you have any.... by searching web using http://www.altavista.com this was ex-CIA search engine and is best for penetration. I hope all this helps for now.... we haven't spent ANYTHING on advertising AT ALL... not a thing... and we live off Internet, and our next product should see us into next millennium... very nicely. Good luck... try writing side it works! Yours Alec Ellis Glopro Network - http://www.glopro.com AllnetCities News - http://www.allnetcities.com M6.net web hosting - http://www.m6.net
