Online Community Magazines is a community-based business opportunity requiring no out-of-pocket investment. The proprietary software allows Owners to provide easy multimedia marketing for members of their online or offline community. Discounts apply for veterans and people with disabilities.

The key to the success of Online Community Magazines are the individual owners

Holly Springs, GA (PRWEB) April 29, 2008 -- Online Community Magazines is now accepting applications for new community installations of its online multimedia marketing software. Owners of this work at home business opportunity provide affordable online marketing services and easy multimedia production tools to members of their community. Only one Magazine is installed per geographic territory or online niche or industry, and applicants must pre-qualify for ownership by acquiring 10 charter magazine members prior to opening.

This unique pre-qualification system makes Online Community Magazines a perfect work at home business opportunity for people with disabilities and war veterans, as well as unemployed sales professionals. In place of financial investment, they are required to prove their ability to gain new accounts within their chosen community. This allows potential owners to verify that they will be successful at running a multimedia magazine for their community, as well as provide them with opening content for their Online Community Magazine.

"The key to the success of Online Community Magazines are the individual owners," says Penny Haynes, CEO of Encouraging Enterprises, Inc., and designer of the software. "They must be a member of the community which the magazine serves, and must be available to their community during business hours. No technological knowledge is needed because the software is intended for use by internet novices. However, complete software training is provided, as well as suggested sales and marketing scripts and materials. The most critical requirements are salesmanship, an urgent desire to succeed, and knowledge of the community and its members."

The Online Community Magazines software can be used as a multimedia business directory, multimedia content creation system, and community internet tv and radio site. Features of the software include RSS, podcasting, blogging, social bookmarking, email subscriptions, a forum, FAQ and community coupon site.

In this week's Brain Storm! Business Podcast, we will discuss statistics related to user-generated content, including multimedia, and its affect on website traffic.

The magazine allows internet users to find your business more quickly when they search on the internet.

I. Search engine usage is second only to email when it comes to the most popular activities performed by Internet users (Pew Internet study).

II. Americans conduct more than 4 billion searches each month.

III. As more and more U.S. households not only hook up to the Internet, but go high-speed, their online activities will increase; thus reducing their exposure to television, print media, and other channels used by traditional advertisers. http://www.davidwilliams.biz/small-biz-news/2006-01-January.htm

By using audio and video, the site will bring more visitors to the site – not only as consumers, but as participants!

IV. Brian Haven, senior analyst with Forrester Research Inc, says “More than a third of adults say they view online video at least monthly; 45 percent of online youth ages 13 to 21 have watched streaming or downloadable videos in the past month. And it’s going to get more popular in the next two years.”

V. Haven also sees video search and niche video providers, such as sites that cater to online learners, as possible growth areas. http://www.entrepreneur.com/technology/newsandtrends/article168766.html (Nov 2006)

VI. According to eMarketer, spending on internet video advertising in the U.S. will jump from $775 million this year to $1.3 billion in 2008. That's an expected increase of 68 percent.

VII. In its November 2006 "Internet Video" report, eMarketer stated that small and midsize businesses could greatly benefit from this hot technology. Online video ads are cost-effective to create, and they can act as marketing materials or even educational tools. It's also easy to promote them through your existing online marketing campaigns, and you can give them more visibility through video search sites.

People want a truly interactive experience where they can contribute to the website. This means an increase in web traffic to any consumer content driven sites.

VIII. The content consumer becomes the creator. Led by the companies that started this revolution — YouTube, MySpace, Facebook, Photobucket and others — eMarketer estimates that US user-generated content sites will earn $1 billion in 2007 and reach $4.3 billion in ad revenues in 2011.

IX. On a worldwide basis, user-generated content ad revenues will rise from $1.6 billion in 2007 to $8.2 billion in 2011.

You can now market your business products and services in the same level as major conglomerates for only a nominal fee.

X. "Gone forever are the days in which giant media conglomerates control the creation, distribution and monetization of content," says Paul Verna, eMarketer Senior Analyst and the author of the new report, User-Generated Content: Will Web 2.0 Pay Its Way? "The media companies are still around and still wield considerable clout as a result of their content and their distribution networks, but today much of the power is shifting to the consumer."

XI. "This capability has put enormous power in the hands of the estimated 64 million Internet users in the US who created user-generated content in 2006 — and that number is expected to swell to 95 million by 2011," says Mr. Verna.

XII. Currently, the US dominates the space, but other geographies are expected to contribute increasing amounts of user-generated content over the next several years, with 238 million user-generated content creators worldwide in 2011, up from 118 million in 2006.

Mr. McFarland: For one of the user-generated content publishers we're running on, about half of the content is not acceptable.

eMarketer: Does that worry you?

Mr. McFarland: A large portion of the video out there is like that TV show featuring stupid home videos. But most of that video was good for advertising because it had a big audience and the videos were humorous in most cases.

eMarketer: Are you looking forward to the appearance of more professionally produced online video content?

Mr. McFarland: The number of streams is constantly increasing. Every major publisher we've talked to has video now or has a plan to have it by the end of the year. TV advertisers have always had a big propensity to video.

eMarketer: What content is the big seller?

Mr. McFarland: Movie trailers, entertainment news. It's difficult to talk about because if you do a search on Google, there's video on every subject.

• What would it take for you to create video on your website? Would it take giving you the software and training materials, or would you only do it if you could outsource it?

Why Engage In Power Networking?

To Expand Your Business Audience

The purpose of power networking is to connect your business to an ever-expanding network of opportunities. It's easy to learn. To begin, all you need is to download the free software from Skype and Unyte.
Then, contact CDMM via email at CDMM and request a free consultation. While I believe communication through Skype and Unyte is not only cost-effective but best for demonstration purposes, I am also available at (707)709-8605.
