Good Morning Adlanders,
Maybe there is a different approach to what you are trying to achieve.
People are not active, are they are not having the qualifications that is needed
to be in the voting. Unless I am misunderstood, that is your goal?
Most, but not all everything I am seeing, is that it is presented for the POTW by messages, broadcast, and new webpages, are being designed as a marketing
thing. Now, don't take me wrong as it all good and you are getting the word out,
but with your response, and getting the call for action, is it working?
A Little….
We are calling for Everything- Marketing- Social-Self Nominations, and so on….
To Me, when I see this, looks like it is marketing. Your intentions are good and your layouts and images are good to but, it is not solving the issue. People, (members)
are not active, no picture, no forums, and other requirements that are needed.
I would bet that many, and we would all probably be surprised, as it comes easy for
some, or most of us, that maybe they don't know how easy it is to upload a picture, or even have one. How, and what to do with the active forums, where do they start? How to start their own forum and not just starting one, to complete it with the first thread where they have the editor to work with. Let them know that maybe what they like doing, are good at, may be shared by other community members.
They may be into wood working, arts, painting, program designer, like to tell jokes,
get involved with political discussions, like to just sound off. Do they know that these kind of forums are here or can be built by them to share what they are good at or like doing? How about sportsman, fishing stories, travelers, or anything where they know that creating a forum for what THEY are into may be a incentive for the new members and all members, to become active, upload a picture, so they are now ready to be in the voting platform.
Think about it for a minute. Trying to offer anything to something that is not there.
Active members and being eligible is what this is all about, and helping them to get there is a solution.
Just another way to look at it is to stop trying to market it and start solving the problem. Helping to become active, and eligible.
Then they will come, will get more voting contestants, and you succeeded on
your quest to get more.
I would like to help every new one with anything related to get involved with the community, set up their profile, upload a picture, build their own forum and about what they like, and do it with out doing a one on one. That is the hole idea with the
AdlandPro Learning Center and will offer any help if asked. All new members and your new friends should be getting a welcome message from you, that has nothing to do with marketing in any way, shape, or form. If they don't have a picture posted in their profile, are you asking them if they need help uploading one or giving them a free on the use? Have they understood how to get to edit their profile to complete what they can? Do they know if they want to create a forum they can do it for what they like doing and may find that others is the community have the same interest?
Are you sending them advertisements or are you talking to them? Asking a simple questions to see if they respond or respond with their advertisement.
Most people that are interested in community activity will attempt to make conversations, other will just send some bull crap like…..
"I was just heading out for the day but wanted to make sure that you got this before I left"
I know you have seen this one and it is deleted as fast as it is read and have no idea what they where sending.
Point being, if they respond to you, then you have a chance, if they send you an advertisement answering your question or what you are trying to talk about, then it probably is a waist of time to go any farther with them.
They are here for one reason.
Here is a message i just got. Now it is wonderful and it is advertising the POTW.
People know about the POTW and again not solving the problem.

*Contest rules apply
Lets take this line right here and this is why you are not getting the responses. There are rules and helping members to
see how easy it is to follow these rules will bring in more.
Maybe I am just dust in the wind to most of you but, i thought about this for a few days now you are still marketing
and not solving the main issue.
Helping All To Become Eligible!
Hope To See You Apply
