Anyone ever use http://www.pridecontent.com? I ordered some content from them today but can not figure out how I can download it. Is say it should be a instant download but I do not see any link on the site or in the e-mail they sent. Anyone have an idea what I am doing wrong? :egg:
The PrideBucks team are 100% professionals, and I suggest that you email them off their site, or visit their support site at www.unity360.com You'll probably get a faster response.Quote:

I think everyone on this board has had a good experience with Pridebucks.
I was not ragging on them or thinking they where not going to give me the content, just wonder what I was doing wrong or the deal was with getting the content that’s all. You think if I went to one of the shows I would get a break on some content from them? I am really going to have to get allot of it this year :cry:
You probably will not get a break on content purchases unless a producer is having a show-specific promotion. However, you will get to meet a lot of people in person, make some friends, and make good contacts. Those contacts will be more valuable to you than a break on content.

I am sure in a year or 2 I will want more, but right now all I can think about is work its really hard to get a site off the ground “well the way I want anyway” and I am a bit abscessed at times :hmmph:

I need a real return on something like that. PR is really good and all, but right now I can not afford to do to much of that, I still have another 3-4 sites to do after I get this one done. Its nothing personal, its just that I am broke, I can not play too much now.

Just an FYI - but I do believe those that promote Pridebucks as an affiliate can get something like 20% off content from the shop.
MaxPower, they are simply saying that if you do business and only business then that's what you will get. A lot of us have taken a little time to get to know each other and become friends. I've known Harlan at Pride Bucks for years. I know if I need help with something or even a question about the industry in general, I can call on him, or any of my other friends in the industry. And if anyone needs help with content or even just some general advice, they can call on me. That's what we do. It's really just a matter of making friends. That can start with a simple introduction and a willingness to chat for a few minutes every once in a while.
I know what your saying man, I also know our right, its just right now I can not afford to spend any money on anything but work. For me to do something like that would be like a vacation for me, I am just not to the point that i can do that yet is all. :gaydays:

I would personally like to extend my sincere thanks to Desslock, Bec, Chadknowlaw and DonMike for their kind words.
maxpower, I think people are offering you some good advice; one of the keys to success is the strength of the relationships you form. While webmasters events are an excellent way to achieve them, with a little more honey then vinegar, relationships can be made remotely that are solid and mutually advantageous.
1) DonMike and I have known each other for years indeed and first met when I was newbie buying my first content. It was a good 18 months before we met at a webmaster show but long before then, both on the phone and on web chat, as soon I said "it's Harlan from Florida," there was a real and sincere friendship long before we ever met face to face
2) a little later in my journey, I had become an avs webmaster and worked closely, albeit remotely, with that company's Marketing Director - a guy named Joe. We had never met until one day in the lobby of a hotel in Vegas at a show - we recognized each other from our avatar pics. That first encounter turned into something we call PrideBucks and Joe, along with his partner David, are people I today call my business partners and dear, trusted friends. Also at a webmaster show I met a girl named Rainey who about a year and a year later sent me an ICQ saying she was on her own consulting - today Joe, David and I proudly call her our Vice President of Marketing and Affiliate Relations.
The point: boards like this, and of the instant messaging programs and email are a wonderful way network, meet people & share knowledge that can allow you the generate the funds that in the future, may allow you to attend a webmaster IF you choose to. We all have a tie that binds no matter how big or small or what facet of the biz we are in, we all make our living one sale at a time.
Very well said Harlan!
I wish I we had audio so I could play some inspirational music and thundering applause. Excellent post, Harlan.
