Ok Guys

Look at it this way I have read all the
Yea Buts and this night happen or maybe this will happen and how can this work

THE THING IS

There is probably 70% of our new members who never reach community. They just posts ads and at least 100 a day never access community section.

We are offering to POTW winners free advertising. If we inform every new subscriber that they can get free ad sent to 80,000 subscribers through winning POTW they might

1. Join community and start activity in it
2. Bring some new users to help their campaign
3. Way more people might be aware of our community this way

I'm not saying that self nomination will send adlandpro racing past Facebook like a speeding bullet.But if we make people aware that the New Improved Adlandpro Person Of The Week Forum is open for YOUR NAME on the Ballet people will want to run.There are so many 1000's that use adlandpro that have no idea what the community is all about.
I can understand the training aspect needs work.Adlandpro is huge but we have to take 1 department at a time.
This is the POTW Department/Feedback

The POTW forum will get new feet in the door of the community if we let people nominate themselves.

All we need to do is add this info to there main forum or on the POP UP

Dennis,
All of what you said in reply to my post sure sounds pretty confusing and time consuming. So many people who are being picked do not even post or are actively Sometimes it has seemed that alot of names are just thrown into a hat and picked weekly. Just my observation. I still think my idea to actually feature people who are picked that are active and start over regardless if they have won before who are involved in being active and who add value to the community and not take away from it. I think it would just be more refreshing to start over.

I am in total agreement Dennis of taking one step at a time or in this case one department at a time and getting things running better with the goal of getting people on board and using the opportunity that is being given via the POTW, to help people understand that when they win they are

1. Getting more fans

2. building brand awareness

3. More sales

4. getting more subscribers

Self promotion is not a bad thing especially in contests and the reality is that it is a win win situation for the community as a whole, the person in the contest as well as for the person who nominates a person.

I am unsure of anything else that I could add here that might be of value, except to maybe say thank you to everyone including you and Jim and what you are doing is very appreciated.

Have a great day!

Mary Evelyn,

There have been some great changes already and all I am saying is lets keep it simple and make it fun. Lets go with what we have now. Sorry if I was not clear. Nothing new there. I often do not make myself clear. Too often we say one thing and somebody thinks we said something else. I will try to clear it up later, but for now if it does not make sense...just ignore it. LOL....I have to go on an emergency service call helping my son...he is a contracter and it is a roofing job likely to be done in the rain....I have always said we can't do it now it is raining, or no need to do it now it is not raining....that does not work for my son so I have to go help him as he could not find anybody else that wanted to make some overtime on the weekend....Be back later.
Make it a great day.

Ken, I don't understand what you're saying here. Without making any more changes to what and what forums? Not trying to be difficult, I truly do not understand your point.

Lets give this a chance to work without making any more changes and opening more forums. If there are changes needed by individuals participating there are always direct messages to that individual that could be used. I have benefited from indirect coaching that may have been more appropriate in direct messaging.
