Preface
When times are good and when times are bad, there are always people out there who keep making money. Even an economic downturn can’t stop some people from raking it in. Indeed, some trades seem to perform better during a recession. With New Media technology, savvy users of the Internet such as social networkers and bloggers have a splendid opportunity to succeed in their businesses and social life. The World Wide Web grows daily with millions of users turning to it as a channel for communication and business. If you are plugged in, you can tap into this base of potential consumers to grow a venture.
The New Media includes online communities, social networking, audio and video streaming, e-mailing, web advertising, new-disc technology, podcasting, blogging, internet telephony, digital photography, mobile computing etc. -- the list goes on, as new uses of the Internet are introduced every so often. This presents a good money-making opportunity for any individual, even someone who may not have any or much knowledge of computer programming. The aim of this book is to provide anyone with the know-how to make good use of this opportunity. Written in an easy-to-read and fully instructional way, this book provides Tips on Internet marketing, blogging and social networking. It will lead you on to discover the opportunities available on the internet to a blogger, and how to set up an online e-commerce site. You will learn how to create, publish, manage and promote your website and blog, and generate New Media income and perhaps create multiple streams of new income possibilities from blogging.
