MMORPG a new front in Web 2.0 marketing.

ATTN: ZTC Community has caught the MMORPG craze.

MMORPG otherwise known as Massive Multi-player Online Role Playing Games are a rapidly growing community with players ranging from ages 9 to 90 and there is no signs of it slowing. These sometimes free and sometimes paid games often require multiple servers to handle the traffic and bandwidth used by anywhere between a few thousand and a few million users.

Players sign up to play themed games and as they learn the ropes and start getting stronger as players are snapped up by Guilds, or to explain it clearer, mini communities within the games that work together to meet common goals. Guilds, (often called clans) can be anywhere from a few dozen to thousands of members. Again some games have over a million players. Once a player is in a guild, they begin to benefit immediately from the experience of others, share performance boosters, and even pass things like rare items on to each other to help the clan or guild grow stronger.

As you know, I am an experienced internet marketer, with nearly 5 years online, and 4 years as a webmaster. I have been reading up on the culture surrounding MMORPG and recently move from study to the battlefields of Fallen Sword. While still fairly new and constantly under development, Fallen Sword has already reached over 180,000 members. I was online just 5 hours when I was invited into the Dark Pagans Guild, a group of 50+ members and one of the strongest in FS. Since that time, 3 days ago I have had many gifts and a wealth of information passed on to me. As a result my character has leveled up faster, I have been given items to sell in online auctions, and barter for better armor and weapons, and shown the best places to fight to gain experience.

Now, you may be wondering what that has to do with me being a network marketer. In the last 5 years I have had many downline members in many programs, and seen many fail. They failed to see the value in gifting, the worth in Co-Op ventures, or in this case guilding, and usually failed enormously in helping those in lower levels learn the ropes. This environment breads millions of players with those highly practiced skills and teaches tens of thousands more each day. If I were recruiting for a network marketing program and had a choice between a failing affiliate squad looking to make their first dollar online, and these highly skilled networkers who may have never thought about earning a dime online, guess which one I would choose.

This is like the kid out of school, over the aging vetran. The vetran has learned a method, and may or may not be highly successful, but he has been there for years and knows the now. The kid out of school has learned from the mistakes and wisdom of the veterans, but has no real world experience.

The things that tilt the scale in the favor of the kid.
1.No learned bad habits holding them back.
2.They are new, so they have no set ways to be stuck in old ways, so there is very little resistance to new ideas and change.
3.Because they have gained the skills passed on to them from those who know what works and doesn't, they often look at new ways of doing old task and those new ideas become the future of your business.

Innovation is the key ingredient to success. Out of all those e-books and courses you have read, how many of them started out by saying something like “ I made my first $180,000 during my freshmen year in college.”, or “ College drop out make the internet marketing millionaires club.” I mean, these are real headlines from some of the biggest names in the business. Guys like the late Corey Rudl, and Russel Brunson have made millions straight out of school, not because they did what the vets in the business did, but because they did it better, with new ways and innovation. Something to think about when you turn your nose up at prospecting in places like My Space and You Tube, or through MMORPG games.

Now back to gaming and ZTC Community.

ZTC Community would like to embrace the MMORPG community of online gamers, and welcome guild founders and leaders to our website. If you run a guild or clan in any MMORPG, ZTC Community would like to offer you a place to set up your clan or guilds website, blogs, and dedicated forums free of charge. Many of you are currently using sites and free host like Freewebs.com to place your home pages, and many spend cash out of pocket each month to host your own sites. ZTC can offer you many more benefits than you already have.

Being that ZTC Community is a growing social networking site, with a lot of the tools you would find on sites like My Space, we attract a lot of traffic. Currently we are averaging over 20,000 page views a month, and each month will get even better. As new clans, guilds, a MMORPG communities join ZTC, your clan will be exposed to countless experienced RPG players and recruiting and referrals could be put on virtual autopilot. If you charge a fee, be it gold or gifts, many gifts and countless gold could flow into your system.

Now, say you have a small clan, around 20-200 members. You have a website and you are making just enough to cover you hosting in Adsense revenues and maybe put a few dollars in your pockets. ZTC offers a in house free affiliate program that pays you on 2 levels when people are brought to the website and purchase products and join offers listed here. Some are low pay, $1-$2 commissions and pay one time, others could have me sending a couple hundred to your PayPal account. Then there are affiliate programs like IYN and our advertising Co-Op that could pay you every month for as long as a person stays a member. We even have programs that allow you to earn a piece of all profits from the site.

So, think in terms of that small guild of yours, 20-200 members. Your members are sent to your new clan page through your affiliate link, meaning that every time they buy something, they pay you cash. Then they send friends and other gamers to ZTC from other RPGs they play and those people also pay you. Before you know it you could be earning thousands of dollars a month from hosting your clan or guild for free on our growing community. You may even find a few programs to join that will explode those earnings above and beyond, so consider a free membership today, and post a message in the support forum telling us about your clan.
