(reading time: approx. 2 minutes)

The following is additional information including a few thoughts about the future of W3A.

4.1. Future W3A Functionality
W3A is a live system and grows with its user base - we will be asking for your feedback! You may have noticed that the layouts of the current W3A templates are visually quite similar. We have invested most of our energies in optimising them and adding functionality. Although they may appear similar, the underlying search engine optimisation and code is quite varied. We will of course be adding further visual variants, templates and layouts over the next few months. Other examples are likely to include:-

End user reviews
Web logs ('blogs')
Email capture and email marketing

4.2. Other Revenue Generating Opportunities For You
There are a couple of other ways in which W3A partners can potentially increase earnings. Both relate to the Search Sciences linking business (as a W3A partner you will gradually become an expert user of the LMS linking system):-

We pay significant referral fees if you introduce new linking clients to us.
We also outsource some of our client linking campaigns to freelance users of our linking system LMS - rates are by individual negotiation - as a W3A partner you will have the majority of the skills needed to do this with little additional training.
The creation of new W3A web templates. For the technical amongst you, there will potentially be some revenue sharing opportunities in return for new templates. Not initially as we need to focus on the core solution for the time being but over time this could be significant.
No doubt other opportunities will occur - including perhaps the introduction of other W3A partners - but we didn't want this to sound like one of those dreadful multi-level schemes!

4.3. Why Don't We Staff This Ourselves And Keep All The Money?
Oh OK then. Joking aside, we have both held senior management positions in large firms (with 150,000+ staff world-wide). We didn't enjoy them and we don't want to build or own one. The internet is perfect for this kind of collaborative venture. We are planning to open W3A globally over the next 5 years - in every major market, as we open our other publishing businesses there and build the product data accordingly. W3A will therefore follow our core publishing business. We already have partners in China and the Pacific Rim, mainland European and the United States. Language allowing (we know some of you speak several languages) there is also no reason why you can't follow us into these markets and extend your own network of W3A sites. One of our current W3A partners for the UK actually lives and works in the United States!

Final Comments
We hope this has given you the information you need. Don't be deterred by any technical content in the above - we will fully support you through the process and the W3A system is designed to remove the need for technical knowledge . . . but allows those with technical knowledge to get involved if they wish.

Please don't hesitate to contact us if you need additional information . . . and of course to join the W3 Alliance.

We hope to hear from you soon.

Kind regards

Simon & Chris
