April was a very exciting month (yeah, see how long it's been), we launched the WebCenter program in Hong Kong and Taiwan with HUGE success. In just a few short days in each country we were able to bring on over 1700 new WebCenter owners. The excitement for the WebCenter program and our system has been overwhelming, so much so, that we had to double our staff almost overnight, in order to accommodate this massive response. And the response hasn't just been on the side of the WebCenter owners, but, we've gotten a great response from prospective clients as well. The product specialists have been very busy every day with prospective clients evaluating our technology and quite a few companies in Taiwan and Hong Kong have already purchased the WebCenter website development system and are using it to give their business an effective, dynamic online web presence. It's incredibly exciting.However, my trip actually started in Australia, and there too, we've got a lot of excitement. It started with our training school for the WebCenter trainers in Australia.
Seeing their enthusiasm for the new training curriculum focused on helping WebCenter owners understand how easy it is to leverage the system we have in place to build their WebCenter business without any technical know-how, it was just so encouraging. Now, a month or two later, we've had a bunch of trainings conducted and the response has been extremely positive, both in the response from WebCenter owners having attended the classes and in sales themselves.Which takes us right back here to North America, there are some really incredible advancements and additions to the WebCenter program on the horizon. Chinese language websites, oops, I almost forgot Chinese Boot Camp. Well, back in May, we went to Las Vegas for Chinese Boot Camp, and unveiled our plans for Chinese language websites, the ability for you to create a website which is all in Chinese, and all of the tools, menus, everything on the back-end, are also in Chinese.
This was a gigantic hit. We had just under 600 people come to our booth and fill out a survey and 99% of them said this advancement would help their business grow, and that they would become a WebCenter owner as a result of this. Well, hang on to your hats folks, because we should have this available in just about two months. Not only that, but, as we grow with other markets like the Spanish-speaking market, we've created our system to be completely modular. All we need to do is translate our materials into Spanish, hire and train Spanish speaking staff, and our system will support the Spanish-speaking market as well.Then we've got Global WebCenters and the release of the greatly anticipated version 4.0 of the WebCenter, and much much more. I'll be talking about all of these at Convention this year in Greensboro, so make sure you get yourself to the event to learn more.
So, in just a few months, we've added two new countries to the three we already have, we've created 4 new major advancements to the WebCenter program that should be released all by the end of this year, and we continue to show WebCenter owners how to build a successful WebCenter business by leveraging our simple system designed for the average person.
This is Jeremy signing off for now. Have a successful day!
Cheers,
Jeremy

Amazing updates, Thanks Jeremy. This is great news & more reasons we can tell our prospects why our websites are better.
This will definitely help the chinese and spanish speaking market. And it will be easy for us to share our business partners why they need to become a webcenter owner. Thanks.
WOW The tools to grow our webcenter business is constantly revolving around what we need and what makes sense. I think in the near future it will be on auto pilot and the only thing we will need to be successful is own a webcenter. Cudos to our development team. One thing I would like to see is the support materials (sales aides, brochures etc.) to be geared toward us recruiting business partners as opposed to website customers. I would like to see a few new skins that help us explain why they should partner up with us. Remove the Family website info and any terminology that implies that the consumer can build their own. Remove the words Market America and replace with MNWebcenters. Also change the words Business Information to: Website Request Form
Jeremy! Great Blog! I'm so excited about all of the upcoming new features and tools that MA WebCenters will be offering with Web 4.0! (I'd love to know more, but I know it will all be unveiled at Internation Convention in August) As a WebCenter owner, it only makes my job easier in showing business owners how we can help them gain an on-line global presence, build their business and grow their customer base!
Now I just need to find some Chinese and Spanish business partners and I'm set!
Keep up the great work and Congratulations on all of the amazing acheivements you and MA WebCenters are accomplishing! I can't wait for International Convention!
Thanks all, these are some great comments back. I'm glad we continue to head in the right direction. I agree with anon about the business development materials and ways to explain how effective our business development system can be for someone. I can tell you that I've got these in the works, but, I've got to get some of these existing projects out the door before I can move on to the next phase. Trust me though, we're going way beyond brochures and rack cards. Keep hanging in there and growing with the program, I promise we'll keep improving things as we go along.
Cheers
