Oldschool new the forum
- Thread starter Stephen Marden
- Start date
Sometimes I read a post that resonates with me so I go to click "like", then I see that Pewep already liked it, and then I'm like, fuck it.
I genuinely appreciate this forum because of stuff like this.
I don't really partake much in fucking with new members for whatever reason. WF is the anti-hero in the IM/SEO community.
The majority of the members here, especially the tenured, loath the "white-knight" seo community and the "You can make $100,000 a minute by following my 3-step guide for only $19.99/month!" schemes (or at least the people that fall for them).
The people here don't give a shit about new members. We know we have a good thing and the organic structure of the community continues to produce quality information. The kind of people we like to associate with don't post intro threads without tits or legit information that is useful to anyone.
The reason their (members that fit in) threads don't fail like this is because they researched the community. They lurked until they knew how to interact properly OR they just made a "fuck you community, I'm here whether you like it or not" intro thread and (dick)rolled with the punches.

When I first joined here. I had no clue about wickedfire. I had been in IM for a long time with a close group of friends. Some turned out to be vets here and just never shared it, because I guess I didn't need it or something. I never got flamed like this when I was a WF noob. Why? Because, I wasn't a fucking retard and I know how to socialize with other anti-social basement dwellers. OP you need to work on your people skills.

stephen marden you're truly unlucky man, usually newbies get dickrolled once or twice then people move on, but it seems like you got the royal treatment.

So, alas,
I will also NOT be posting anymore in here..BUT, if not banned, will do much reading..Looks altho you guys blasted me hard and have a lot of fun...There are some really smart Internet Marketers who know their shit! and I would like to do some learning.

not for nothing, but if you can handle the culture here, you'll get a lot more out of this forum than you will anywhere else.
I'd take the suggestion that was offered, and start a "ask me anything about marketing a physical product" thread.
there are a lot of people here who would be interested in that, and you'd make some friends pretty quickly.
Thanks man, I can handle it..I just took it the wrong way...and yes...I would love to start a thread to help, but after reading around here..I'm not sure how much value I can really offer...seems like some pretty brilliant people already here...
I'm also a little gun shy about starting a new thread so quick.. don't wanna get banned..already had a threat of it..I think I want to stick around a little while longer

do you have experience marketing that product?
are you making sales?
I have SOME experience..but would not call myself an expert...
We are still testing (commercials-late night) spent about 50grand (which is a drop in the bucket compared to the big guys)
We are currently tweaking the offer and still testing and have just filled a test order for overseas distribution. Also working some independent pharmacies as well
Sales are slow at the moment.(nothing to retire on)
Retail is the end goal..but it would be ice to generate some sales online..Hence why I'm creeping the forums and learning how Internet marketing and affiliate marketing works. Was thinking about looking more seriously at Internet sales to generate good traction and help support retail.

A thread about marketing on television would be very interesting, I think.
My advice to you is to start a thread today.
The best kind of introduction you can make on this forum is "Hey, I have something of value to offer"
If you can do that, and I think maybe you can, you'll see an entirely different side of this place.
of course, if you don't want to, there are 9000 threads on WarriorForum about weather or not an EMD domain name with a hyphen in it is better than an EMD domain name with two hyphens in it....
but somehow, I don't think that's really what you want.
also, don't take this post to be indicative of my character in any way, I'm an insolent prick most of the time.
You've got plenty of valuable info to share here then. You only got flamed for starting an intro thread but in all honesty nobody gives a fuck. It's just an excuse for us to fuck with people.
