Yahoo Groups

You’ve probably heard a lot about Web 2.0. Everyone’s telling you how big and important it is. Well I’m here to tell you Web 2.0 is overrated. I’m not bashing it, I’m just telling you like it is. It’s totally overrated and don’t put too much into it or you’ll just be disappointed.

On the other hand news groups and forums have been around forever. You can leave all the hype and go back to news groups and forums that a lot of people have forgotten about.

People always want to get together with other people to talk about certain topics. There are Yahoo groups for everything you can imagine and more.

There are groups for people in certain areas geographically, there are groups for every type of problem you can think of, there are groups for discussions on politics, news, problems, family, hobbies, fun, money, jobs, health, and more.

Yahoo groups are completely free. You can start a group for free or join for free. It’s a great way to meet new people who are interested in the same things you are.

You can reach a lot of people with these groups. Find some active, large groups in a niche you are into and negotiate with the owner. This isn’t some jv crap, you have to negotiate just like you would with a major businesses offline in the real world.

So get in there and find those active groups where you can reach tons of people and have your business boom while others are still playing around with web 2.0.

Doing this, you can be seen by lots of people who are interested in your website without the crazy high costs of pay per click.
