Re: Posting Ads! Just DON'T!

[JHanc968]

The following is the guideline specific to ads (which happens to be the only guideline other than following CafeMom's term's of service):

This is NOT the place to advertise your business.  This group is about helping each other find ways to market/advertise/promote our businesses outside of this group.  We would love it if you would tell us about your business (you can do this in the Introduce Yourself post) and your marketing challenges.  Please do not post just to "sell" us your business.  We each already have our respective businesses and are not looking for other/new opportunities.  If you have a question, please post it, if you have an idea, please post it, if you have a new marketing description for your business, please post it and ask our opinion.  Please do NOT advertise your business in this group!  If a member posts an advetisement for their business after they have been warned, they will be subject to removal from the group.  Thank you for your cooperation & understanding!

So,

Just as a reminder, this is NOT a Group to PLACE ADS in!  Period!  You may post ONCE in the Introduction thread & you may also post MONTHLY in the "Promote your Biz" section (you must delete your old post before posting a new one), everyone will know what you do and will message you if they want more info!!

Rather than posting tons of ads on every board, it's SOOOOO much more effective to just jump in and add value! Help others out with tips and problem solutions, and I can promise you it will earn you FAR more income than wasting time with the ad posting!

THINK ABOUT THIS: We are all 5 on a scale of 1 to 10, and for our business partners we want the 6,7,8,9,10's. Posting ads can bring us the 1,2 and somtimes 3, but adding value and showing you're a LEADER can bring you the 7-10's...


Thank You Linda for your guidance in this matter!!

Absolutely Joyce!   It seems some either don't read the rules lately or just blatantly choose to ignore them.

To those that do that, you are NOT making yourself look like the LEADER one would choose to follow. 

Joyce and I've been taking our time to copy and paste your info appropriately, but we won't do that anymore.    You will learn TOTALLY AWESOME Marketing techniques  and have MAJOR business support from leaders within the industry,  but this is NOT a Board to SPAM your ads please....

IT SEEMS SOME HERE NEED A REMINDER....

For quite some time Joyce and I tried to go thru and copy your ADS you posted to this NO ADS Group into the appropriate folder... but by now you KNOW THE RULES and Joyce and I will not take our time to repost your posts appropriatly.  ADS will be DELETED....

Joyce did a WONDERFUL Job organizing this group!   Please use her PROMOTE YOUR BIZ HERE and the INTRODUCE YOURSELF FOLDER to tell us about your business. 

SPAMMING unwanted and UNALLOWED ads does NOT portray you as a Mentor / Leader OR attract others Leaders who will bring you success...

Join into the discussions on Marketing, tell eveyone  what's worked for you (NO ADS THO) and what didn't, and get feedback from those of us here who have done well with the "marketing game" and learn / duplicate it to YOUR Business! 

THANKS Ladies!  BRING ON 2008!!!!
