2017 WW: EDU: Want to find out about web-worlds? Drop by my place. I am a web-world welcomer

Want to find out about web-worlds?  
Drop by my place.  I am a web welcomer
An office on the web?  Yes it is not only possible but available.  And that may generate a need for a receptionist of welcomer.  Here I invite people to visit me in my web-office at my office times.

  • When you click on the mic, a panel will appear in the upper left, with names.
  • If there is another person there, look for green parentheses next to names.

  • I expect to be in this web-world weekdays at 12:-12:30 Central time (US).  
  • I may be there on weekends at the same time,
  • I can meet at other times by appointment (ask in a comment on this article).
  • I will be glad to tell you about Cybalounge, web-worlds, or virtual worlds.

Things for us to talk about

  • The web show: a magazine from the virtual worlds
  • I am seeking editors and content for sections of this magazine
  • I am also seeking people for web-based talk shows for each section of the magazine.
  • Talk shows will need a host, producer, and videographer.
  • A section is a series of issues focused on a specific topic. 
  • Probable sections: Education, People and Places, Entertainment
  • More sections TBD.

What is a web-welcomer?

  • I just made up that name because it could become a job for some people.
  • It is like a receptionist in an office.  Or a greeter in a store.  
  • Except it is done in a web-world.  It can be done in the privacy of your own home. 
  • In your bedroom or living room, In a wheel chair if needed.  Even in a hospital bed,
  • All you need is skill in dealing with people and good knowledge of what is offered.

How hard is it to be a web-welcomer?

  • Obviously, not physically demanding
  • It can be mentally demanding if you have a lot of incoming.
  • In my web-world, I don't get a lot of traffic--yet.  
  • It would be boring, but I can do other things while I wait for visitors.
  • I can set the web-world to send me an email when someone comes in. 
  • So I could respond to a visitor any time I am on my computer.  

Is there any pay for a web-world welcomer?

  • Not yet.  That could emerge if businesses use web-worlds for marketing.
  • Unlike the rest of the web, web-worlds invite 2-way conversations.  
  • That is like in-store conversations from back when people went to stores.
  • Pay might be on a sales commission or per click-through basis
