alex in atlanta posed this question:
I am new to the internet. Is web 2.0 similar to explorer, just people can talk live to each other?
Web 2.0 is not a browser like Internet Explorer is. It is more of a broad term that people are still debating the meaning of - but to us it means a site where people can interact with the website. Not just talking live, although that would be one example, but also being able to post their own content as on MySpace, or by being able to comment on posts like on this blog.
Teleseminars on this system are one of the best systems for interaction with your customers.
So right Mike! Instant Teleseminars is a great way for interaction because you can see questions and comments as they come in from the listeners.
Tommy from Florida asks:
Are we DOING Web 2.0 NOW, HERE ?
YES Tommy! We were doing Web 2.0 on the teleseminar by being able to see the comments and questions submitted during the call. We're also doing Web 2.0 by posting those questions on this blog and allowing for comments and interaction here.
Beth from San Francisco asked:
How do I take advantage of Web 2.0 as a writer?
There are so many ways that we can't possibly cover them all here. But definately get involved in blogging and use it to promote yourself while at the same time building relationships with your visitors, subscribers and customers. Consider signing up with the Franklin Guild to take advantage of the exposure for your work and to find out even more about using Web 2.0.
Jude from Wylie,
When I came on the internet 7 years ago we as internet marketers helped each other. Why is it that these Guru's and Top Marketers won't help people. All they want to do is sell product. I'm coaching a guy right now that went to some of the biggest names in this industry and they sloughed him off. He's new to the internet and could not find one person to help him. I'm doing this gratis.
Thank you Jude for continuing to help people. We don't know why this is changing - more competition, made so much money they're out having fun, forget where they came from - who knows. There are those of us out there helping people that others never even hear about what is being done. That kind of thing isn't done for the recognition. At the same time, people are in business and if we can help people and make a fair profit while helping each other, like in the Franklin Guild, that's a good thing too.
Janice from Fargo says:
Why does [name deleted] say web 2.0 is a waste of time?
Janice, we know him personally and from his testing he is not happy with the time investment vs. return for using MySpace. He does regularly use his blog and is happy with blogging - and blogging is a web 2.0 tool.
Jay from Tallahassee asked:
So, you think that blogs are the best way to go, correct? What formats do you recommend? WordPress, etc? Where can you find the best templates?
Yes, Jay, you are right about blogs being the best way to go. WordPress is a great format, particularly if you host it yourself. Semilogic Pro is an excellent package for use with WordPress that offers templates that are clean and simple, can add your own custom header, include a package of plugins for WP, and help to make your blog more search engine friendly. It saves hours of searching for plugings for your blog.
Agnes from Bakersfield asked this:
How do we publish books?
Are you asking about ebooks or physical books? ebooks can be created and delivered digitally right from your site. More and more ebooks are being reviewed by publishing companies for consideration of turning them into physical books. There are several resources for self-publishing a physical book these days and many of them offer print-on-demand so you don't have to order a thousand of them that you have to store in your garage.
The Franklin Guild is going to share lots of information about getting your ebook done and getting exposure for your ebook. Plus we have some exciting people working with the program who are involved in both ebook and physical book publishing!
Jeff from Montana asks:
How do we avoid the Squidoo slap?
Most of the sites affected by the Squidoo slap were filled with excessive links and lacking in good content. Create a good lens with quality content and some related links.
