I came back after months of crashed PC, only to find it now costs to post a BST thread. That was one reason I loved this forum, you there was no cost to invest which is great if you are struggling.
Not even so much the cost, but the fact that your thread closes in 10 days is absurd. Correct me if I am wrong but I don't know any other IM forum that a PAID thread closes in 10 days (or at all).
Closing a thread in 10 days does not allow many responses to threads. I see a max of like 30 posts in threads now. You know what gets me to buy a service? when I see a thread with 10 pages and 400 posts/replies.
It's like going to Google and choosing the restaurant with the most reviews. I will choose the restaurant with 48 reviews and 3 stars than the restaurant with 1 rating any day.
I think $36 every 10 days is greedy. There are lots of people from India that charge $5 for services, $36 every 10 days does not leave much profit (I am not from India nor sell $5 services).
All this does is potentially raise the cost to consumers as well (passing the cost over).
I really do not like this idea and am not sure if I will use this BST forum anymore. But we shall see.
Maybe another suggestion could be if you make 0 sales, you can repost for free. $36/10 days? How bout $10/30 days.
Internet Marketing forums are a dime a dozen these days. If you want to stand out, charge less. the real WF charges like $75 but how long does your thread stay open for? ANd how much more traction does it get than this site?
Think about it.
*THese are real concerns and if you do not have anything productive to say like "leave" don't post here and move along. Valuable criticism only.
