RE: POTW Feedback

Here is a little thought for you this morning.

This posting on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter may be a great idea,

but, Out of the thousands that see it on my end and let alone the networks you

have that you have posted to, I can count on one hand the results from it.

No I take that back, I don't remember even one person that was not already a member

here, that makes voting a habit, came in from other network to vote.

Another point of interest is that this site has paid memberships.

It was built for Free and Paid Advertising with networking.

Networking happens inside a community by the communication

between two or more..

Advertising and Creating Groups, and Forums with catchy subject lines

about making money is not Networking. It is Advertising.

Networking happens inside the forum with communications talking or

sharing ideas about the subject on hand.

Bring up old post that have been already corrected and may have made a mistake

is not Networking, it is just bring up stuff that should have been left alone.

And also there are thousands that do not know what is going on, how to navigate,

and have a easy tab pointing to the Voting Forum. So that is another false statement.

Over 90% of the community is advertising and not networking. There ara very few that

have conversations, share ideas, and build relations.

If there is a focal point then there should like suggested, making it a landing page,

(no problem for me) or Provide a Highly Visible in Your Face Tab to Get to it.

That does not exist and not everyone knows how to get to it.

I was suprised the old stuff that was done in the voting and have made corrections was

put back in front of their face.


This, what we are doing right now, and a few other great forums is Networking,

and 95% of everything else in the Community is not.


Now lets get to the real reason I am here besides responding to other post.

Send out Newsletters by management or by you personally inviting them,

or returning to get involved with something more the just some text.

Make sure you take the time to congratulate the members that have won to make them

feel something. When you vote do it with style and make a statement. The more visual

effects you have the more people will want to see all thats happening.

Here are two, ( see sample designs below) now just ideas that I have put together as a test that everyone can use.

They are formatted as an image and cannot be altered, but I still have the original writing

program that can make any corrections, text added, or rewritten with something that you

may think that it needs. Creating Forums where you can invite all your friend list is an option,

but after it runs and maybe bring in new members to the original and main Forum, get ride of it,

and delete it. After a time you can do it again but delete so there is not so many doing the same thing.

Sending out personal Newsletters may be a better option as so many worthless forums are created and just move down the list and may get read.


OK, so enough for know, and Remember: Make POTW Feedback and make suggestions, not arguments. If you do not agree, than come up with an original idea.

Each Image or any Image, Banner or Logo can be hyperlinked to go to the Voting Forum, or Thread. Click on each image and you will see. Every one can use these or others designed and open a World Wide Campaign inside the Networking Community, and Others to bring in more members.
That is my contribution to the community to create newsletters or anything else that can help with your emails and Broadcast messages. Free Banners, Free Logo's, Free Newsletters, Free forum thread designs.
So my friends, what will you offer or do?

Hey Ken,

We both get some press from here :)
Great to see some conversation here. Great ideas, great pics, Mark. The real challenge to the maintaining the POTW is finding qualified candidates. No one seems to understand the power of a forum. Simply posting is great but, owning a active thread here is a great benefit to many. I have benefitted from my postings here before who could view the osts was changed, due to outside antagonists, often some old dried up bitty with a mental problem. I say bollocks to them and make it all viewable again.

One of the real challenges is finding folks to feature, as has been stated here. It takes time to put the forum together, find the candidates and put it out there in front of the people, without any help from our members, in finding candidates. Serving up, the POTW is a volunteer position, time consuming therefore recycling past weeks nominees is much less time consuming. Its much simpler to find one than four. Makes since to me.

All the complaining never solves the issue and that is consistency. Here is the nominations thread http://community.adlandpro.com/forums/post/2388221/POTW-Eligible-Member-Suggestions/26.aspx

You know a active ALP Member with an active forum? NOMINATE THEM!!!

Hope everyone survived the little storm we recently had, after riding 5 of them out in one year I know the challenges and dangers they present.

Respectfully Sincere,

Jim Allen III

Thank you Kathy!

Thank you Mark and Dennis!

Wow! I made it high up in the optimization google search for Adlandpro Learning Center.

Join the Bweeble Team in AdLandPro

BTW Mark! I am also looking forward to hearing from Admin. but the last update from Bogdan said that Barry was in and out of the hospital. I am sure he will be glad to see all of the input and attention this forum is getting. He might also be open to getting help in running the forum.

Make it a great day,

Ken


May Wisdom and the knowledge you gained go with you,

Kathleen,

I was the 1st one of those 'long time members who didn't want to vote because I was not familiar with the nominees".... What you did not include, is that I did cast a vote, after visiting each nominee and inviting them to my friends list.

Thank you so much,
Jo

Mark,

Adlandpro Community is about networking, and the election is supposed to be a community gathering, a focal point, and the profile links for the nominees are supposed to promote networking.

I was surprised a couple weeks ago when 2 longterm members posted in the election thread that they didn't want to vote because they didn't know any of the 4 nominees, even though one of those nominees was a previous winner, and the profile links have been part of the election process for over 6 years and both of those members who said they didn't want to vote have also been here about that long. When 2 longterm members make the first 2 posts about not voting, that's not a good example for other longterm members or new members, when it's as simple as clicking the profile links for more info about nominees. If people don't want to vote, then they just don't vote, but I don't see any reason to post about not voting because of not knowing nominees YET, that discourages other people, especially when it's the first AND second post in the election poll.

It's not about not being able to find the Adlandpro election, hundreds of people know it occurs every week and know exactly how and where to find it. Everyone also knows how to click profile links and send friendship invitations and messages and look thru previous forum posts.

There's a loyal core of people here who vote consistently, post to forums consistently and keep our forums active consistently and encourage people to vote consistently, week after week, month after month, year after year. Consistency is the key to success in Adlandpro Community, in networking and in the election process.

VOTE!!!! POTM!!!
