You probably hear what all the buzz on the
Internet is these days.
They're calling it "Web 2.0."
It's the "next generation" of interactivity
taking place online -- and there are a lot of
marketers watching it very, very closely.
For those of you who are too lazy to follow
the buzz [much like myself], here's a quick
breakdown of what Web 2.0 is...
Put simply, Web 2.0 is about putting more
power into the hands of the people who
use the Internet.
Things like blogs, social bookmarking, social
networking, photo albums, YouTube and viral video,
etc., are all examples of Web 2.0.
And new revolutions in this field are taking
place every day.
So, instead of websites being the focus of
the Internet, the focus becomes PEOPLE.
It's about what YOU want.
It's about what YOU are searching for.
It's about what YOU want your online experience
to be like.
There are tons and tons of Internet marketers
right now, who are trying to figure out how
to use Web 2.0 to make more money.
And you know what? There are a lot of
opportunities out there with Web 2.0 to
expand your business.
But you know what I have to say about all this
Web 2.0 business?
"The more things change, the more they stay
the same."
Look, there's a lot of buzz about Web 2.0 stuff
right now because it's new and people want to
learn about it.
But guess what?
FUNDAMENTALS NEVER CHANGE.
No matter how you slice it, Web 2.0 is still
the Web. And the Web revolves around CONTENT.
Content is king online.
And, though video and audio are coming into
greater play, the written word has always
been [and will always be] the Internet's
bread and butter.
So, guess who's going to win the Web 2.0 game?
THE GUYS AND GALS WITH THE BEST CONTENT
-- THAT'S WHO!
Be it video, audio or text, the best content
will always attract the most users.
The new innovations with Web 2.0 are just new
ways for users to find and use YOUR content.
There's no doubt the Web 2.0 technology that's
popping up will be of great use to those of us
looking to make money online.
BUT, if you neglect the fundamentals, no amount
of Web 2.0 awesomeness will help you.
In my opinion, the Web 2.0 stuff is just yet
ANOTHER way to help generate leads for your
email lists.
And, once they're on your list, it's so damn easy
to sell to them!
So, no matter what new tomfoolery comes out for
the Internet, the question I always ask myself
is: "How does this help me build my list?"
Because, let's be honest here, buddy. Email is
the BEST freakin' way to sell to people online.
[If it wasn't, SPAM wouldn't exist!]
So, when dealing with Web 2.0 buzz, don't look at
it and try to figure out how to use these new
features to make more money.
You ALREADY know how to make more money! Just
build a bigger list!
But, you should be asking yourself, "How do these
new features help me build my list?"
For instance, let's talk about Squidoo.
Squidoo is one of those newfangled Web 2.0
thingies.
It's designed to be a place where users can feature
content they like about targeted subjects.
It's designed to be a place where Internet surfers
start their searches, instead of finishing them.
Now, most marketers will look at Squidoo and
think, "Yay! Free traffic!"
I look at it and think, "Yay! More lead generation!"
Why? Because the value of the people who subscribe
to my list, over the long term, is SO MUCH MORE
than any of the traffic something like Squidoo
could generate before the search engines change
their stuff and it becomes irrelevant.
And that's the crux of the issue right there.
Over time, new technology becomes obsolete.
However, your email list will NEVER be obsolete.
It will always have a value to you. So build it
up in any way you can.
In my upcoming course, The Email Rebel, I go in-depth
into every list-building secret I know.
And this stuff is just as effective with Web 2.0 properties
as it is with anything else. Check it out:

This course reveals EVERYTHING you ever needed
to know about how to make money with email marketing.
And that, my friends, is one of the FUNDAMENTALS
that will never change -- no matter how much cool
new stuff Web 2.0 or even 3.0 comes out with.
And you can take that to the bank.
