Web 2.0 Concepts To Keep Your Members Coming Back

Web 2.0 Concepts to Keep Your Members Coming Back Again and Again and Again

Web 2.0 may be the most overused and misunderstood term of the decade. What it means in a nutshell is providing a user driven website. Basically many membership marketing websites are Web 2.0 especially social networking sites. The users determine the content in the form of forums blogs article posting reviews and so on. To further enhance the usability of your website and thus the benefit to your members here are a some ideas to provide a few interactive extras or member benefits.

Training courses are an excellent tool to provide benefit to your members. There are multiple forms for delivering your courses. You could use email text or html or both pdf downloads website content pages streaming downloadable videos and audios.

Email training courses Getting your members to sign up for an email training course that takes place over perhaps eight weeks is a great way of keeping your members engaged with your site over a period of time. You could make this a free course a paid course or both. Maybe give them a few lessons for free and ask them to pay for the rest of the course once they are into it.

However to get maximum exposure giving away an entire course or even multiple courses of good quality for Free will really get people coming back to your site. We do this with some of our own membership sites including MembershipMillionaire.com.

Video tutorials This is a very effective form of training as it is much easier to show your members what you are doing rather than trying to explain it. It prevents your students becoming frustrated when they cant understand what you are explaining and reduces misunderstanding.

You could do the videos yourself using software or you could hire experts in video creation if you are not comfortable using software or doing videos. You could do simple power point slideshows and narrate them or you could stand/sit in front of the camera and talk.

With many Internet users on broadband or ADSL nowadays and computer processors getting faster and faster videos are now going mainstream.

Teleclasses Teleclasses are similar to conference calls and are conducted over the telephone. They are an excellent way for your members to take part in live learning as well as having personal interaction with you and other members of your site.

There are many services out there that provide teleconference lines for you to use. Some are free and some have paid services you should decide what is best for your business needs. You could even record your calls have transcripts made and then sell that as another product in itself. To top that off you could offer reprint or resell rights to those calls and sell licenses.

Product reviews Reviews posted by other members is a fantastic interactive medium. It could also engage heated discussions! Nothing gets traffic faster than controversy whether good or bad. Let your members speak their mind about products and services they’ve used. This will not only help other members and visitors out but it will add lots of content to your site that the search engines love. Sites such as Amazon.com SureFireWealth.com and others do this on a regular basis.

Guest interviews Guest interviews with a well known personality who is connected with your niche subject will add huge credibility to your site. Promote guest interviews on your website and in your newsletter. This is a quick way to get great content.

You could post the interview on your site as website content. Or you could have the streaming audio or video up and even let your members download the interviews. Let them post reviews and comments to the interviews and you’ve got even more content.

Forums Forums are a type of virtual community and provide the opportunity for people with similar interests to talk to each other. Your members will already have a shared interest in your niche subject so creating active discussion forums wont be too challenging.

Here’s a tip have good forum monitors and admin in place to keep things smooth. Having multiple monitors can help you get your new forum started as well as keep discussions ongoing. You could keep your forums open to everyone. That will be better for search engine traffic but it can also attract spammers and forum hackers. Having a private forum for your members only can keep things more secure and full of like minded individuals.

Competitions Encourage your members to post on your forum or blog by running a competition. Award a prize each month to someone who has made the best post on your forum and each individual posting would be an additional entry into the prize draw. Or maybe give a prize to the member who writes the most reviews or posts the most comments each month to your site.

Involving your members in polls and surveys

Member polls Asking your members to answer a simple question relating to your niche subject is a simple and effective way to get them involved in the site. Have a regular monthly poll and publish the results of the previous months poll above the question for the current month.

Surveys Some niche subjects lend themselves well to surveys. If yours does not you could conduct a survey about your membership site itself. This gives your members the chance to express their views and let you know what changes they would like to see.

Getting feedback can also let you know where to take your membership site. By allowing your members to tell you what they want you can just simply give it to them. We’ve taken surveys ourselves over the years and they can be very insiteful. The poll or survey data you generate can be gold to your customer feedback system for the future of your business.

Newsletters Newsletters may be used to highlight forum posts questions that people have asked blog posts and even case studies survey results success stories and more. Get your community involved in the content both online and in your newsletter. Theyll be invested in the results. We’ll get more in depth about newsletters in another article.

For now I hope these gave you some ideas to get going with.

Using Currency Trading Software!

If you’re in the Fore trading market one of the things that can take your training to the next level is currency trading software. The software works similar to the way a signal provider did in the past but it can be timelier and can give you much quicker and more insync information. In addition it can be better and more accurate than signal providers since data provided by signal providers can be uneven depending on whom you get it from.

For this reason this type of software can be a good alternative to a signal provider. Good software can help you base your trades on accurate information it’s conveniently provided for you in easy to read format. That said it should be noted that you are still going to have to do your own homework and learn the ins and outs of the Fore trading market whether you use software or not.

To do this set up demo account with the Fore broker you choose and learn about different types of analysis both technical and fundamental analysis. Technical analysis focuses on how a particular currency is doing in terms of its past history for more details visit to www.softwaredesignerspro.com and therefore how it is likely to continue to perform for at least the short term. Fundamental analysis looks at a particular currency self based upon its country’s own economic political and social stability and health.

When you trade in Fore you are betting that one particular currency in a pair you choose is going to do better than another. The way you determine which pair to choose and which currency will do better is by performing the previous types of analysis and by looking at all of the data presented to you.

As you do this of course you can use currency trading software to help watch and manage data for your trades. Again software can be a good “crutch” to help you manage your trades properly for more details visit to www.quicksellingsoftware.com but you’re still going to have to know your own data well enough and trust your own gut instinct enough to make informed decisions. You should never depend on your software to the point where you don’t analyze and follow your own instincts yourself. The software is only meant as a tool to help you decide what should be done on a particular trade.

If you do decide to use currency trading software do so right from the beginning when you first set up your demo account. This will help you become familiar with it so that you have it right with you when you begin to do trades in earnest. You can try out a couple of different types of software before you decide on the one they think is right for you. There are a couple of different brands that come highly recommended with three of the most popular ones reviewed at our web site.

Can you make a lot of money in the Fore market? The answer is yes you can with a caveat. You have to know what you’re doing and you have to have the emotional and psychological stability to be able to handle trades dispassionately buying and selling based upon what your data rather than your emotions tell you. That means that you have to be able to get out of a trade that is still doing well if your data tells you that this should happen and you have to be to get out of the trade that’s doing poorly without worrying about whether or not you can make your money back. The best Fore brokers do lose on trades sometimes but they know when to get in when to hold and when to get out. And while some people do trade in Fore fulltime many others simply trade on the side for a little extra money and for fun.

Again currency trading software can help you manage your data such that it’s available to you all in one place and easily discernible; this can help you figure out what to do more quickly than you might otherwise be able to. However remember that it’s only a tool and your own best judgment is still what’s going to make or break your success as a Fore trader.
