Hello everyone,
It's hard to believe that around 1000 new
partners have joined since Mike invited me
into the previous manifestation that was
just a notification list and bulletin
board, if I remember correctly.
I hope that everyone, who Mike's "rants"
are intended for, are not offended and do
take his points to heart.
I admittedly, find myself inceasingly with
less and less time to participate in forum
activities and discussions.
I also fully admit that my only posts here
are announcements of my own cross promotion
offer. So, I'm possibly one of the subjects
of Mike's rants. See? I'm not offended. We
all can use a good "kick-in-the-behind"
once in a while to keep us on our toes.
Look, I have also frequented the Warrior
Forum for 3 years longer than here, and
have made maybe only 6 posts.
Listen, when I joined JVNotifyPro, this
forum wasn't here and I didn't have my own
products. I was happy to be invited to
others' JVs and promote them to my list.
I'd also like to point out that I've
signed up for a few JVs here (sometimes
even gotten the comp. copy of the product)
and ended up not promoting the event. Why
hasn't Mike ripped into me and banned me
from the community?
I'll tell you why.
My posts came some 2 years or so after I
joined.
I had promoted, made sales & referred new
members for quite a few JVNotifyPro
Partners, in that time.
He's not kidding when he says that he'll
know if you are abusing the privilege of
being here.
Thanks for reading this far - I'm getting
to the main points of this post here:
The rules are in place as guidelines for
mature, professional marketers who can
govern themselves without supervision.
Though Mike has made it easier to become a
member than in the begining, professional
conduct is still very important.
Nobody is going to take you seriously if
you join and develop an image of being a
"taker" and never give back to the
community.
In my case, I don't have enough time to be
a real big contributor to the forum. I do
however, promote other partners' launches
that I think my subscribers & customers
would be interested in.
Don't be so afraid of being "banned" that
you second guess joining a partners launch
if you only "think it might" suit your
customers. You won't know if you don't
sign up and check it out.
No "real" professional marketer is going
expect that "everyone" who signs up and
gets a comp. will end up promoting.
Here are a few "acceptable" reasons that
one might sign up for a launch, get the
comp., and then not promote the event.
... after reviewing the offer and contents
of the package closely, you find...
- It doesn't suit your market after all.
- price
- content
- quality
- terms
- It too closely resembles a competing
product that you are already committed to.
- Your server has a meltdown just before
launch.
- A personal emergency comes up.
Now, I don't mean that you can use these
as B.S. excuses to rip partners off. I'm
saying that professionals know that these
things happen from time to time.
If you have a list and/or customer base,
help promote other members' offers as
your contribution to the community.
If you are a newbie and your only means of
reciprocating for what you take is to
start threads by asking questions of more
experienced members, so be it. Just make
some sort of contribution. The content
that follows your question could prove to
be valuable to other members too.
See? it's easy to contribute even if you
have no advice to give or no list to
promote other partners' offers.
Let's all make a commitment to help make
JVNotifyPro the closest thing to Mike's
"Vision" as it can be. :-)
OK, my email has "ker-plinked" about 25
times while writing this so, I gotta go
now.
Cheers Mates!
Mark.
P.S. I wonder how much of a headache Mike
Jr. has right now? I understand he's
trying to de-bug whatever has been causing
the recent login issues we've had. A brave
sole he is. lol.
