i don't think of other webmasters as competitors. most surfers join more than one paysite during the course of their time online, so a guy who joins my site one day may join Squirt's or max's in a few months and then lee's at the beginning of next year.

it costs me nothing to give advice and may help someone who really needs a leg up. and of course, since i work as a paysite consultant, people who read what i say and like what they read sometimes offer me work due to my posts. so it's good karma that is repaid.

not only that, it may help other people who read the thread later. contrary to what people say, some larger people have helped me personally. what's more, on gfy shap and thedoc have posted infuckingcredible posts showing actual numbers - stats, dates, you name it - that changed the way others perceive paysites and how they make money. lee recently posted his figures regarding different prices and retention that was also very helpful.

the bottom line is i have some pieces of knowledge other webmasters don't have, and i'm happy to share it. and my questions never go unanswered so it appears others are just as happy to share with me

isn't that what a community is all about?




after re-reading my post, i realize all that's left after what i said is for us all to hold hands in a circle and sing kumbaya *LOLOL*
