DigitalFX - Web 2.0 Innovator (and how to get a piece of the pie).

DigitalFX - Web 2.0 Innovator

LAS VEGAS (May 1, 2007) --

With the Internet evolving and growing every day, entrepreneurs
are being forced to adjust their businesses to fit the ever-changing requirements of today’s
technology. But one company – DigitalFX (OTCBB: DFXN) –isn’t just ready to meet the
challenges of the Web 2.0 community, it’s helping to bring it about.
“Web 2.0” is a popular phrase used to describe the next stage of the Internet’s evolution – the
point where the Internet becomes less a scattered collection of Web sites and more a
conglomeration of related user-managed pages. The phrase was originally coined by Tim O’Reilly
of O’Reilly Media, an American media company dedicated to publishing books and Web sites and
producing computer technology conferences.
Many people see the proliferation of user-manageable Web sites like YouTube, MySpace and
FaceBook, along with downloadable Internet communication accessories like BitTorrent, and the
various forms of instant messaging software, as the first stage in bringing Web 2.0 about. Their
popularity, ease of use, and speed of communication make them the natural precursors to the
Web 2.0 revolution.
But there’s still one problem: all these sites are unconnected, and no one site offers all the
services of the others.
Craig Ellins, CEO and president of DigitalFX International Inc., said the company’s innovative
flagship communications site, HelloWorld, will change all that.
“HelloWorld’s slogan is ‘making digital life simple,’” Ellins said in a recent interview with MN1.
“Everybody has a digital life ... because your music doesn’t come on CDs anymore, it comes on
MP3s, shortly your movies will not come on DVDs anymore thanks to IPTV, your cellphone,
camera and camcorders all have hard drives. Although the devices have advanced, the ways an
average person has to handle their digital life has been left up in the air. HelloWorld is an aspirin
for that headache.”
According to Ellins, the HelloWorld Web site (www.helloworld.com) offers the social networking
capabilities of MySpace and some instant messaging software, the video sharing abilities of
YouTube, and a slew of other specialty Internet services not offered anywhere else – and all for
as little as $10 a month.
“It’s a whole suite of really rich media tools that kids today might want to go out on the website,
they need to go to five or six different sites to get what we’ve got under one application,” Ellins
said. “The beautiful thing is that it’s all one application so you don’t have to go to multiple Web
sites … and there is no software download.”

I'm currently working on three business ideas that will utilize these amazing tools and have just scratched the surface regarding where this will take me in the next couple of years.

12 differences between those who want to go somewhere and those who actually get there.

Twelve differences between those who dream and those who act:


1-Wanna-be's obsess about ideas. Entrepreneurs obsess about
implementation.

2-Wanna-be's want more web traffic. Enrepreneurs focus on sales
conversion.

3-Wanna-be's focus on positive thinking. Entrepreneurs plan for
multiple contingencies.

4-Wanna-be's want to get on TV and get "famous." Entrepreneurs build
their list.

5-Wanna-be's seek a perfect plan. Entrepreneurs execute and adjust the
plan later.

6-Wanna-be's wait for their lucky break. Entrepreneurs engineer four,
five, six plans and execute them in tandem, wagering that at least one
plan will get traction.

7-Wanna-be's fear looking stupid in front of their friends.
Entrepreneurs willingly risk making fools of themselves, knowing that long-term
success is a good trade for short-term loss of dignity.

8-Wanna-be's shield their precious ideas from harsh reality, postponing
the verdict of success or failure until 'someday.' Entrepreneurs
expose their ideas to cold reality as soon as reasonably possible.

9-Wanna-be's put off practicing basketball until they've got Air
Jordans. Entrepreneurs practice barefoot behind the garage.

10-Wanna-be's believe what they're told, believe their own assumptions.
Entrepreneurs do original research and determine what paths have been
already trod.

11-Wanna-be's believe they can do anything. Entrepreneurs do what
they're gifted for and delegate the rest.

12-Wanna-be's think about the world in terms of COULD and SHOULD.
Entrepreneurs think in terms of IS and CAN BE.

Keeping a positive attitude and what can you learn today?

The last couple of weeks has been incredibly busy hence the absence of posts, however things are back on track.
One thing I must make mention of is the value of surrounding yourself with people who can assist you in difficult times and help you to maintain a positive attitude.
I'm grateful to have joined a company with excellent support and team leaders who are willing to take the time to help their team members (even if it means them making a phonecall from the other side of the world).
Not quitting is the first ingredient of success.
In my previous post I mentioned I had lost a customer, however unknown to me they renewed their account and were once again active (I had not lost out as I had previously thought).
A good lesson in sticking with it.
Today I also wanted to mention the value of seeing a successful business run.
In my current day job I work in the electronics industry for a small company that has won business awards and is continuing to grow.
(In fact where I live the economic growth rate is higher than any other state in Australia and higher than China which is booming).
I make it a point to observe successful people and companies as a whole to glean as much information as possible that I know will help me and others in the future.
It's well worth keeping your eyes and ears open so you can pick up gems of helpful information.

Top 10 Sins of Blog Usability (and how you can brush up on getting more visitors who will eventually become customers).

"Sinning" is an archery term, which literally means "to miss the mark." If you're blogging to establish a two-way dialogue with the world, the "mark" is the optimal reader experience.
I received this article in my inbox recently and decided to share it since we are about building an income online (and blogging is a great way to promote products and generate a steady flow of traffic to your business).
On reading this article it made me aware of areas I needed to brush up on - I trust it will help you too.
