5 Ways to Succeed on The Web During a Recession [#18]

January 1, 2009 | Blogging Video Tips

An article from the Wall Street Jounrnal talked about 5 Ways To Succeed on The Web in 2009. It was a great post. Here are the five trends, in brief:

  1. Consumers seek cheap thrills
  2. Trading real money for virtual goods
  3. Web 2.0 leaders pull further away from the pack
  4. Online ad prices continue to fall, alternatives help make up some of the ground
  5. Getting serious about monetizing non U.S. traffic

In this video, I give my commentary on each of these five points.

  • It really makes sense to hit non-US traffic. Not only is it a largely ignored market to most US bloggers, but their currency (in many cases) is worth more than the dollar...but how to specifically target and sell to Euro, Singapore dollar and other currency-spending consumers? Lots to learn...at least for me!

    I agree with monetizing outside of the United States... there is a huge untapped marketplace out there beyond the border!
