I'm going to Rant a little

I'm seeing in many peoples About Me.Most say they want to help people.I don't believe that for one minute.Why do i think this we'll where is the help???Where are the Votes??The social have left the building.We have lost most of those people.To save the social part of Adlandpro we need to focus on the New Adlandpro Signups This is why the 100 friends to the new members would be a good thing.Out of 100 new signups about 10 % are social.Those we need to keep in touch with the most for the POTW sake.
Dennis

I agree with Dennis on above issue.

As far as POTW goes. Stephen has set one of the best examples of answering everyone asap. He is, in my book one of the best POTW for a long time. He has the excitement to go with it. To me POTW is a honor and I think people should be trilled to have that honor and use it to their advantage.

Without taking away from what this forum is about - POTW Feedback - I will say that one of the issues for anyone who is going to be nominated or even winning, means activity - one way or another.

There are many ways to be "active" and yes the usage of the forum signature is one of the ways. I could talk about that aspect, but again, it would not be fitting in this particular forum, the same goes for the topic of "branding" etc.

How does one make a contest work and how can everyone come in and talk about how they feel. There has been more than one person state that at this time, only the few are feeling comfortable coming in and saying how they feel, one of them being Kathleen and boy are you right!


I guess the reality is and it happens on every social network, we have our "followers" that we associate with, talk to and share with and I am going to say that if you..me or anyone else can share with their followers, topics such as the POTW in a way that will have people want to join in, then that is the common sense approach.

Prizes...now that is a different story and finding what works to get people to want to go...oh ya I want to do this, means thinking of those prizes that will work on this network.

There have been many suggestions from credits, to sponsorships and yes even money...I feel this needs to be explored especially the idea of sponsoring a prize as that has been used very successfully on many other contests all over the net.

I freely say that while I say my thoughts, like many of you I do not have hard core answers, but I sure love hearing about them, exploring them and what is great about this kind of discussion, a winning formula will happen and that is what this is all about..coming up with ideas( implementing those ideas) even if it is only by a few ( and I personally am glad for each and every person who has made the effort) has been helping to help everyone in this community


Prizes And Rant

Hi Diane let's talk about Prizes.

The 1 week Plus membership is a good prize If the people that win it know how to use it.
If that can send messages to there friend lists and they don't have that many friends it better to pick the business groups.Plus the Credits need to be high because you can use 1000"s in 1 send.So if you have 1 week of Plus you can use all those credits in 1 day.

The Newsletter to 80,000 show who won the POTW that week but it isn't a great help to the there programs that they might be promoting.

I agree with being featured on Kathy"s blog talk radio If they want to do it.

I think the 100 new friend deal could also be added to the POTW winner.For some it may not make it to the 100 because they have us as friends already but it's still a good deal.

The Rant

A Catch what is Adlandpro"s catch.FB has the wall and zanga.Youtube has videos.Twitter has there tweets and followers.Some have there safelists others have there woms and whatever they do in there.


Tell Me This why isn't Adlandpro listed in the Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
major active social networking websites Check it out Adlandpro should be in the A"s.Are we so far off the Scope?

Bottom line if you've checked the site above everyone of those communities take traffic away from adlandpro.

POTW is only a small Part of why people are here.What's The Big Picture For Adlandpro.The Big Picture is Adlandpro itself better develop something huge soon or the buzzards will pick and pick away every member to the Bone.

Thanks, Miguel!

The button is beautiful with the winner's photo! I'm glad your suggestion was used very quickly and I'm very glad you're here! It really does stand out beautifully!

I'd also like to see Voters Of The Week (or Commenters Of The Week) restarted again soon, with them included on the winner's Congrats, because the voters make the election! Choosing 2 voters/commenters to have their photo & link to their profile and a link to their biz site and forum would be a great way to hopefully get more people to make a comment at the elections.

Hi POTW Team,

I think having forum-owners agree to promote the election every week in our forums would be a great idea, in exchange for a list of Forum Sponsors every week, or a link to the list on the ballot, if it's lots of forums.

Also suggesting to everyone who's here consistently to link to each week's election in their signature file is a great idea,

And to share each week's election to Twitter & Facebook & Google Plus. If dozens of people agree just to do that, it will bring in more traffic.

I'm still concerned at the lack of people here in this forum, it's the same few people making all the Feedback comments and making nominations. Where are the 50 to 60 voters and their opinions? Approximately half the voters make comments during the election, sometimes nearly two-thirds, but we're not seeing them visit here to give Feedback.

I'm also not seeing many public forum promotions of the election or many links to the election in signature files.

The majority of voters are not participating in making nominations, many don't have active forums themselves...if all voters who make comments at the election would start/reactivate their forums, that would be a lot more eligible people.

Voting is up, but community-wide participation that leads to nominations has not gone up much.

Lots of people who had branded themselves a long time ago have lapsed into branding-failure and let their forums lapse and stopped visiting other forums, and some don't make comments when voting or help promote the election.

I think Stephen is doing a great job in relating to all on a personal level. He has set an example that we all can follow. I like the 100 new friends offer to new members. It should be an opt in on both sides. We should start building a list now of those who would offer their friendship to new members. Count me in. As for peoples motivations for being here:

I honestly do not do Internet Marketing for the
money. I do it to help people. I know that is hard to believe, but it
is amazingly rewarding in many ways. I will not try to explain. It
would take too long.

Zig Ziglar said it a lot better than I could in a lot fewer words. "If you can dream it, then you can achieve it. You will get all you want in life if you help enough other people get what they want."

Enjoy your day,

Ken

Thank you Miguel,

I was quite pleased about that and by its early adoption its quite apparent, that folks appreciated it. I realize sometimes things happen and an immediate acknowledgement may not be given. That's why I try to do most of my "good" things quietly. But I have learned that if what I suggest is put into play that should be acknowledgement. You deserve the pat on the back for sure.

Thanks for the reminder.

Hi Kathleen,

Did you see the new feature on the left corner of every page? It was I who suggested it be placed there, only nobody seems to remember that now. Only the button was Mark Dewey's work, and a cool addition at that. I did my suggestion at this very POTW feedback thread. You may see it in page 61- 62, and how someone countered it would be too much work for the programmers, etc.

To be frank, I sort of lost impulse to make any other suggestions.

Only Bogdan immediately responded to it and without any more fuss, the feature was installed the day after.

Hugs,

Miguel

May Wisdom and the knowledge you gained go with you,
