ENV2 Adds Efficiency To Empower Network

By Scott Torres


Certainly there has been a ton of gossip about "ENV2", which is the latest revamp of the prominent internet affiliate marketing system, Empower Network.

Not a great deal has been mentioned up to now regarding the details of what ENV2 brings regarding developments to the trendy Empower Network blogging platform.

Now we'll take up the more major changes to this system.

Empower Network members will discover a entirely distinct product with ENV2. The whole system has been reconstructed and the difference in look and functionality are dramatic.

You may have heard a number of affiliates saying something such as, "So simple and fast your Grandmother can make a new blog post faster than cooking a pancake". Her cooking capabilities aside the new setup is undoubtedly far easier to use than the prior.

The popular blogging software, Wordpress, was the backbone for the building on the initial Empower Network blogging system. This was functional however left a lot to be desired for people who were not really technically savvy. For individuals like me, who have been blogging for a long time, the older platform was acceptable. Yet for the very great majority of new customers it was still challenging and too much to handle and quite far from "plug-and-play".

It seems somebody over in Empower Network administration noticed the same because the new ENV2 platform has undoubtedly made things easier.

Today a completely novice customer logs in, looks at the large image icons at the top of the Home page and makes their choice. The selections are video, audio, image or text. One will just fill out their data, possibly choose a file to upload from their PC and that's about it.

If there is any way to make such a thing any easier for the normal person, I sure wouldn't know what how .

Inside 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 easy to undestand that those who are clever with coding and who prefer to make their post more sophisticated and add special elements for example, countdown timers or contact forms inside the post body might think this to be excessively limiting, but for the average member I'm certain this is a relief to not have to examine a bunch of code that accomplishes nothing besides overwhelmed them.

Another aspect of the new version is the Empower Network app for your iPhone. The whole blogging platform has been created to allow people to effortlessly blog employing just their smart-phone. For people who choose to purchase the Empower Network video hosting product, they are able to easily upload and post a video recorded on their phone with only a couple clicks on your phone. The concept was to liberate the small business owner so that he could operate from just about anywhere that he could use his mobile phone.

ENV2 was designed specifically to enable synchronization between your phone, the EN blog and the EN video hosting service. Certain people will balk about having to pay for video hosting services. This is easy to understand yet using free video sharing sites like YouTube isn't a very smart thing to do for a business owner. Excessive possibility of deletion. No functionality has been removed for video embedding. It can still be done simply with an embed code or a YT link. The video hosting service supplied by EN is there if one wants to be able to do video blogging right from their smartphone with a couple clicks.

More detailed customization might be given up for the purpose of ease. Whether this is a problem is a subject for each individual to discover on their own.

One of the things that has been made even easier is the addition of pictures to your blog posts. One doesn't need to align or size their images anymore. Only a couple clicks and the system does the remainder, sizes it properly. Text wrapping is no longer an issue.

Another distinct change: When members log in to ENV2 they will now see their social activity feed which includes the recent blog posts created by other EN members.

With any new content that you post now you may choose to have an extract of that post made available to groups of your choosing within their Activity Feed. Every new post may be made available to every person in your EN group or only to certain levels of membership. This could be valuable for those who prefer to have restricted content reserved for a particular membership level, or when the article is only relevant to certain membership levels.

One can also click a button and swipe any of the posts that they find in their activity feed and the new system will instantly post the exact same to your own blog. Effortless sharing. Convenient curation.

All in all the severely technically challenged and the beginner will find the new ENV2 system to be far simpler and a much lessened learning curve contrasting the previous system.
