What's The Point Of WebmasterWorld Now? None!

My own post.
Brett, I find your post a little off base when talking about showing affiliate marketers how to sell stuff, creating spammers. So not the case. Because when you show someone to do something the "right" way, you eliminate their "desperation" of turning to the dark art of spamming. If they're making money the moral way, then there is no need to spam. If you allowed people to post specifics, chances are, you'll cut down on the "cheat the system" posts. And creating a paid forum for the so called "secrets" is a joke. It's almost like you're trying to hide the secrets for the benefit of lining your own pockets. I'm sorry if I'm a bit too blunt with my post, but that's how I see it in my eyes. Please correct me if I'm wrong.


>>>So what is the point of this forum now?
>>>Dynamite posts in the forum Library teaching people "how to fish" for themselves, rather than people promoting their own fishing holes to send newbie fishermen to.

That's because the one's showing "how to fish" are scared they will canibalize their biznesses. And personally, if the market they are in is "really good", then there is no need to hide it from others.


>>>Why? because the affiliates with wasted traffic weren't taught how to fish and never learned that you can't go out in a rowboat on a pond and expect to catch 20 pound yellowtails.

Show them "where" to fish, and they'll eat faster, and forever.


Bottom line is, I visit a forum that was started by Michael, and him and I built that forum up over the course of a few months, and everything snowballed. And you know what? I've been making on the higher side of 6 figures a year for a while now, and no matter how many people I give advice to, I still can acheive those numbers. That's what I think everyone is scared of, posting their secrets, losing their business, but guess what? Your competition will catch up with you eventually. So if everyone wants to keep those closely guarded secrets private, then guess what? There's no point to this forum. Everyone's interested in details, to hell with beating around the bush, which is what most people here do, and still get their posts deleted. Go figure. Reason I don't spend as much time here is because our forum gives me a HUGE useful amount of information for free, and I don't have to worry about my posts being deleted for releasing "specifics".
