Have we seen the end of EarnersForum?
Iamned brings up a good point on how Earners forum has been dieing and we have a few points to share.
The moderators and admins were also partially to blame. Lee and Tyler know how to make money online, without a doubt, but they failed to impart that knowledge on the forums to a sufficient degree. Posting vague advice about “Original content” and “Social bookmarking” and “Work hard” , and “blogging” generally doesn’t cut it. What members wanted were SPECIFICS such as how many links, how much PR, how to rank, etc. Instead of being fed pablum they wanted concrete knowledge about how to make money online. No amount of contests, hype, and mastery can compensate for drab, regurgitated, unoriginal content.
Earners forum had a few major contests, however; Lee Dodd failed to promote the community on other webmasters forums. Everyone and their brother were promoting earners forum when it first launched because how it was unique and provided webmasters with a better place to interact with others, however; since then Lee Dodd has stopped working on Earners forum - and hasn’t really posted new threads to help liven the place up, but if earners forum is to flourish once again then something needs to be done. They banned myspace marketers from posting - because they didn’t want their marketers to “bring down” the level of Earners forum, so to say, but that was a stupid move for them to do because it attracted users and kept the users active, however; one of their moderators have stated that “Lee dodd” knows what he’s doing and earners forum will continue to grow.
I don’t believe that crap because if Lee dodd knew what he was doing he wouldn’t ban the discussion of how to promote on myspace in the first place - because all the other webmaster communities allow it and they continue to flourish from it. One thing is for certain, though, Lee Dodd isn’t a forum guru and his success should be thanked to rex_b, who has managed to build all of Lee’s communities from scratch from it.
