Thanks for joining my forums and your ideas and links..
There is never an end to learning - only new beginnings.
I find there are fine lines between taking someone by the hand ---- and guiding them, teaching them, and directing them.
Simply pointing without building a relationship wont get people to the 3rd level of commitment in joining your team. Just pointing will only get a tiny few to even look.
Getting hit with 10 forum thread invites from the same person every day is an intrusion....... professionals take a little time planning before the hit the send..... Professionals will make notes throughout the day and send one invitation with "tips" and a blurb about each of their helpful links, so people will know what they are being directed to look at. Professionals are "helpful"..... not just promoters. Professionals give their contacts time to "connect".
That is why you are right - forums are potent..... but forum's without a human touch - forums with only information..... bore the gods...LOL
You did a fine job - you introduced your link.... and shared your ideas.... Both in this forum plus my forum on the "value of forums."
As this thread is also about building your friends list - it is an added touch to see, that it only "begins" with the building of the list..... the next step is "building the people"...... and between the two - there should be NO separation.
Building the list and building the people are ONE!
Cheers!
Neil
