Hi Linda,
While I agree with you that business communities are not necessarily the best place to sell your wares, I must also say that it depends a lot on what you are selling.
For example, much as I am personally convinced, both from all the research I've done and from my own experience that the juice I use every day is far superior to the vast majority of so-called nutritional supplements being hawked everywhere, you'll notice I make very little mention of it in this community (or in other business communities).
The reason for this is that when I look around, most of the people here are involved in direct sales in one form or another, and are already convinced that they have the best product and/or compensation plan, OR, they have developed their own product and are putting all their time into marketing that. Most are also putting all their resources into marketing their product/opportunity, and very few have any disposable income.
That said, I have found communities to be a TREMENDOUS place to market resources for marketing. Adlandpro has brought me a LOT of business in this area. It must be said, though, that this is a very unforgiving area - you must do your research before working in this market, or you'll get eaten up.
The target for marketing on Adlandpro is network marketing - so network marketing resources are going to see the most success.

It kind of reminds me of a tank full of hungry sharks, and there isn't enough little fish to feed them all - so they start looking at each other as food. lol
=================================================================
Good analogy! However, if you happen to be someone trying to get the attention of those sharks, if you drop the right kind of little fish on a hook, you'll have a line up waiting to bite.
God bless,
Dave
