Update In The Newly Released Empower Network System ENV2

By Brent Bonir


There really has been a great deal of gossip regarding "ENV2", which is the newest make over of the popular on-line affiliate marketing system, Empower Network.

Not a great deal has been mentioned up to now about the specifics of what ENV2 offers regarding developments to the popular Empower Network blogging system.

What's changing?

Empower Network members will find a totally different product with ENV2. The entire system has been rebuilt and the change to look and functionality are dramatic.

The prime emphasis on the new system has been on easiness. And straightforward it is.

The popular blogging software, Wordpress, was the heart for the construction on the first Empower Network blogging program. This was functional however left a lot to be desired for those who were not especially technically skilled. For people like myself, who have been blogging for a while, the older platform was acceptable. Yet for the very great majority of new customers it was still challenging and difficult and quite far from "plug-and-play".

The management and engineers at EN must have observed this since the ENV2 system has proven to be rather easy to use and way more simple compared to the original version. In fact, in roughly 5 years of blogging I haven't observed other blogging platforms which are as user-friendly.

Today a totally technically-challenged customer logs in, takes a look at the four large image icons at the top of the page and chooses the appropriate one. The selections are audio, video, text or image. One will just fill in their data, possibly pick a file to upload from their computer and that's about it.

The complete process of publishing is about as uncomplicated as one could possibly make it.

With the all-new version they have eliminated the "HTML" editor and left only the visual editor for making customizations to the content of a post. It is understandable that people who are savvy with coding and who would prefer to make their blog posts more sophisticated and extra special attributes for example, countdown timers or contact forms within the post would think this to be overly restrictive, yet for the average member I'm sure this is a relief to not need to look at a bunch of code which accomplishes nothing more than confuse them.

One more part of the new version is the Empower Network app for your phone. The whole blogging network was developed to permit people to easily blog making use of just their smart-phone. For all individuals who choose to patronize the Empower Network video hosting service, they are able to easily upload and post a video recorded on their phone with merely a couple clicks on your phone. The idea was to free up the business owner to ensure that he can work from just about anywhere that he can use his phone.

The ability to embed videos into your blog only using an embed code or just a YouTube URL still maintains. Most people would undoubtedly just use this method yet they should understand that YouTube isn't created for small business owners to use for marketing purposes. There is continuously a risk of having all your videos removed at whim which could be hazardous to your earnings. A lot of more knowledgeable marketers will already be using their own private video hosting and that can certainly be embedded as well. Yet the plan was to have the EN blog function in conjunction with the Empower Network video hosting, making everything fast and easy to post vlogs.

More detailed customization might be compromised for the sake of ease of use. Whether this is an issue is a thing for each person to find for themselves.

For instance, posting graphics into your blog now requires just a couple clicks and there is no requirement to decide on position or dimensions for any photos. The rationale for this is that the Empower Network blogging software is going to by default size all your graphics to the breadth of the content area. So no more having to wrap words around pictures. Most probably couldn't care less with respect to this as a complication and seriously, with many of the viewers browsing the internet on mobile devices today, those photos and text will get realigned for browsing anyhow. Such merely makes things quicker and less complicated.

One other fresh feature is the Activity Feed that EN members now see as their default member home page. This is similar to a social network feed that most internet users are accustomed to. The Empower Network feed feed, however, shows excerpts of recent posts from other Empower Network bloggers.

Each customer can make a decision when creating a new blog post on whether to make that post public or to have it put into the Activity Feed for just certain membership levels for their customers. For example, a person may decide to make one post display to all their Basic members and some other post to present just to their Master's Course customers.

Furthermore Empower Network has added the option to do a one-click swipe of any of the blogs you find on your Activity Feed. This is simple content curation and gives lots of possibilities for social engagement and marketing in itself.

All in all the badly technically challenged and the newbie will find the new ENV2 machine to be notably simpler and a much lessened learning curve in comparison to the prior platform.
