Let's start at the very beginning...

the Web is NOT the Internet!

The Internet is a network of networks...
It's main purpose... to transmit/transfer information across networks.

The Web is a graphical interface that runs on the Internet.
It's main purpose ... Allows "users" to exchange information and resources in a "user friendly" enviroment.
The "user friendly environment" is a "marketing tool".

So, is the Web really a "marketing tool"? ...

Well, aren't all marketing operations based on the gathering and exchange of information to effectively market a "service or product"?
------- Someone is giving the information .... someone is receiving the information ---------

And again, isn't the Web all about the exchange of information? So the Internet is the "underlying" transport of the information providing the "networks" for the exchange.

ummmmmmmmmm, is it really that simple?

Revenue Models-- what?

This is very interesting revenue models... what are they really? Well let's define the two terms and see if we can make sense of this:

Here a just a few of the multitude of defintions for revenue
Revenue - 1)equals total sales from operations, 2)Total sales from goods and services, before expenses and taxes; 3) Monies received from all sources (with the exception of fund balances) that will be used to fund expenditures in a fiscal year; 4) Products and services sold to customers by a company.

Model: a hypothetical description of a complex entity or process; exemplar: something to be imitated

Okay, now how do we place this term into a reliable description as a part of a e-business plan? Give me some input...

"description of a complex entity that can be imitated to produce a exemplar of the overall business sales before expenses and taxes"

What about this article describing the 5 best revenue models...

The online world in Project Management

Hello everyone!
I want to encourage everyone to exchange ideas and information here. This is going to be a communication tool that steps beyond the "email" or "discussion board" ... it is a "live" project management resource. So if you are interested in Project Management and would like to learn how it works in a "virtual world", then provide your resources and comments here.

So what is Project Management? What types of industries incorporate Project Management?

Welcome to the E-Business and Web Professional blog

Welcome! I created this blog so the web professional could share resources, information and more! I will start off with some basic questions and comments ...

Business Professioanls - I would really like to hear from some businesses who hire "web professionals". What are your requirements? Do you really need to have a person know 5 programming languages... I ask because I read through so many job postings that seem to have "unrealistic" demands for individuals in the web profession.

Educators - Are there any colleges offering BA or BS degrees in the web profession? Not a CS or CIT degree--- a web professional degree? How are educators teaching "Marketing" in colleges and not teaching E-marketing or how are educators teaching business and not teaching E-Business? For the future generations to be viable, students must understand how to manage and market a business online.

I will let someone else chime in...
