Advances Implemented For Empower Network Version 2

By Mark Allendes


The Empower Network has just recently undergone many modifications with the launch of ENV2, the current embodiment of the EN blogging software. This is certainly no major secret to those people within this specific niche, as thousands of EN affiliates have been jabbering about it for the previous several months.

To this point though, you might have had your email inbox inundated with email from Empower Network members telling you that something new was coming, there hasn't been a lot of information about exactly what those improvements would be.

Here we'll take up the more significant changes to this system.

Empower Network members will discover a completely distinct product with ENV2. The entire system was reconstructed and the change to appearance and functions are substantial.

The main focus on the new system has been on simplicity. And simple it is.

The popular blogging software, Wordpress, was the heart for the development on the first Empower Network blogging system. This was useful however left a lot to be desired for those who were not particularly technically oriented. For folks like myself, who have been blogging for a long time, the old system was acceptable. However for the bulk of new members it was still perplexing and difficult and quite far from "plug-and-play".

The administration and engineers at EN must have recognized this given that the ENV2 platform has proven to be rather easy to use and much more simple compared to the original version. Indeed, in close to 5 years of blogging I haven't observed any other blogging programs which are as user-friendly.

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

The complete process of posting is about as uncomplicated as anybody could possibly make it.

Inside the new version they have removed the "text" editor and left just the visual editor for making edits to the content of a post. It is reasonable that those who are intelligent with code and who like to make their blog posts more sophisticated and extra special attributes like countdown timers or contact forms in the post would think this to be very limiting, but for the common person I'm certain this is a comfort to not have to look at a ton of code that does nothing more than confuse them.

One other component of the new version is the Empower Network app for your iPhone. The entire blogging network was developed to enable people to easily blog employing only their smart-phone. With regard to individuals who choose to buy the Empower Network video hosting product, they are able to quickly upload and post a video recorded on their iphone with merely a few clicks of your phone pad. The strategy was to free up the business owner to ensure that he may work from anyplace that he may make use of his phone.

The ability to embed videos into your blog just using an embed code or just a YouTube URL still maintains. Most people would perhaps just use YouTube yet they should understand that YouTube isn't created for entrepreneurs to make use of for marketing purposes. There is always a risk of having all your content removed arbitrarily which could be hazardous to your earnings. Lots of more knowledgeable marketers will already be using their own private video hosting and that can be embedded as well. However the plan was to have the EN blog perform in conjunction with the Empower Network video hosting service, making everything swift and easy to post vlogs.

Personalization will be compromised for the benefit of a more simple system. Whether or not this is an issue is a point for each individual to find for themselves.

For instance, uploading graphics into your post today takes two clicks and there is no requisite to choose alignment or sizing for any graphics. The rationale for this is that the Empower Network blogging system would by default size every one of the images to the breadth of the post area. Thus no more having to wrap text around images. Most probably couldn't care less concerning this as a complication and honestly, with almost all of the visitors viewing the internet on mobile devices nowadays, the images and text will get realigned for browsing anyhow. This merely makes things quicker and less complicated.

An additional all new feature is the Activity Feed which EN members now see as their default member area home page. This is a lot like a social network feed which almost all internet users are accustomed to. This feed, though, exhibits excerpts of recent blog posts by other Empower Network bloggers.

Each person can decide when making a new blog post on whether or not to make that post public or to have it put into the Activity Feed for only specific membership levels for their customers. For instance, one can choose to make one post show to all their Basic members and some other post to show only to their Master's Course customers.

Also Empower Network has incorporated the capacity to do a one-click swipe of any of the articles you see on your Activity Feed. That is quick content curation and delivers numerous possibilities for social engagement and marketing in itself.

Overall the gravely technically challenged and the beginner will find the new ENV2 program to be significantly simpler and a much lessened learning curve contrasting the prior platform.
