I totally respect your decision and wish you the best. I'm sure whatever you do now will turn out to be amazing. I know from my own experience once a person knows their path is not leading to where they wish to go they must cut it off and change direction even if to others it seems like you may have it made.
Anyway I want to say you've made a real difference in my life as well as many others here I'm sure. You've inspired us and given us a place to escape much of the bullshit and misinformation that envelopes most other places aimed at those who want to go into business and for that I really want to thank you and let you know you'll be missed. |

awww fuck!
I guess our relationship has always been "special", right from its bumpy start, but ... damn. Should have gotten to know you better. Good luck to you, Jon. Maybe you will still come to WF as a place to hang out. ::emp::

Now I seem to be getting back into it in a way. Jon - Why don't you just change what you are doing? I know this sounds like newbie advice but if you know what you want and are passionate about it just fucking do it. You know it will probably get 100 free links if you ask in the right places. Your articles will get noticed and you can either write a fricking book or go to school getting a masters in whatever the hell you are talking about. Or lightly monetize it with products you care about or make your own products that do what you want. Or you could just become a consultant to pay the bills. You are in New York and that is home to shit tons of HQs. Introduce some company to the idea of unique title tags and links and make a fortune while pursuing your own thing on your time off. |

Best of luck, Jon. Just so you know, Wickedfire truly helped me to make my living fulltime online - I learned everything I know in the threads on this forum - and I'm sure I'm not alone. For that, I thank you my friend and could never thank you enough.
I wish you well in whatever it is you decide to do. I know you'll be a star. Much respect, Jason

Success Depends on Focus

Quote:
Just look at the MSN cash back system as one step in that direction or look @ Googles product specific search results for finding movies/mortgages and so on, this will only expand to the point where someone will type in "teething whitening" and google will pop up zip code box and tell you exactly where or allow you to buy via a link that *they* get the commission on). There is really no telling where things will go, but some things are obvious though, to future proof your business it would be wise to start building sites/services/products where you are paid directly (in fact, if you look at the bigger players in affiliate, you'll probably notice they pimp affiliate marketing but nearly all are trying to offer some kind of service/tool/book). No need to run for the hills, this will be a long time coming I think. You need to definitely start looking to build sites that add value to the user experience and retain those users. |

Hopefully we dont see him next season trying to fax a reinstatement letter. Jon, all the best and trust me it takes alot of fucking mental energy to build the wf community and as you told me "one of the few forums with nothing but high quality ACTIVE members."
Surely you will be missed..... my god we are talking like Jon is dead. Jon you get bored, your jewish ass knows where to find some of the coolest mofos on the Im industry, including uber...haha.

Jon (aka-former forum fuhrer), you gave birth to Wickedfire, raised it up, and now it is time for it to go off on its own and have its own life. I'm glad you have enough to keep you busy so you don't get depressed from an "empty nest"!
Your move to do something new and do it where your heart is sets you apart from the average man. Only good can come of this! Go forth and do it like the rock star that you are, Jon! You and this forum has made a difference in my life. Selfishly I don't want you to leave, but I can't help be SO excited for you as venture into this new territory, as you follow what is in your heart. I hope you make time to visit and tell us more about what you will be doing now and give us updates how its going. All the best to you, Jon!

I don't know much about you at all, only that you are well respected in the industry. I read the post "enough bullshitting lets make some money" on your blog. That single post inspired me enough to turn my first profit. Just wanted to say thanks and good luck.

Fuck dude, some sad news you wont be kicking it here any more. I hope you do find what your looking for man.
This place has brought many people together, of which you are responsible for. WF it a daily ritual for me, much like many others here I know. I only hope that with what you have said in mind, no one gets too discouraged to take the leap into IM. Yes it has its up and it has its downs, but ultimately if it is burning you out there is no point in continuing. Keep the usuals updated dude, it would be good to see what your new life brings. Peace out JF. |

Man I love affiliate marketing and couldn't imagine quitting. But I suppose you gotta do what you need to.
With regards to the 16MM statement one thing I think of when I hear that is I know you've necessitated a lot more wealth then that by creating the forum. Granted it's been accompliashed by a lot of hard work of a lot of people. But whether by bringing people together, ideas and people together this forum has created a lot of wealth. And for that I thank you for dedicating your part of your life to creating it and keeping it clean of the trash.

I was still waiting to see if this was some kind of Trojan or the result of some over dramatic mind freak hangover... but perhaps not, so I do offer my thanks to Jon and what he has provided here.
This forum truly rocks, this is WICKEDFIRE! In the true spirit of this forum I hope that at some point the mods might close up this gay "peace out" thread and do an all out, no-holds-barred roast thread on his ass.

Wish you the Best
I am really new to the Forum. As a matter of fact, I am still reading through all the info that is here and learning quite a lot. I never got to know you and you're leaving as I am just starting here. I hope you find what you need.
Most people get stuck in a rut and change is really hard. I know. It takes a great strength of character to make a change. So again good luck to you. I will just have to get to know you through your old posts. Andy |

Fuck! Come down with a crippling bout of the flu for almost a week, and look what happens?! It's like Passions around here... everything's the same for a month, but you miss the next two episodes and you're like "WTF just happened?!"
Jon, go do what ever it is that will make you happy. But take the knowledge that you created a good community with good people, and that we'll fight the good fight even once you're gone. I'm pretty certain nearly anyone here that you care to name would be happy to call you a friend and an inspiration. If you're new life ever brings you down under, drop me an email, we'll go get a beer and a schwarma or something

Good luck with your new thing Jon. Mass psychology as can be effected/influenced over the net is a fascinating subject (and one which you might find brings you right back to marketing, especially if you keep working with the government, who are after all just a bunch of marketers themselves.)
