Did you just spam?

Filed under: Forums, Spam, online writing — Tags: , — Sarah @ 4:22 pm

Is this you?

Spamming is against the law.

This is a message I posted in a friend’s forum.

“I was just posting in my forum and you popped up with this great discussion and I couldn’t resist putting in my pennyworth.

Spam, what is it?

When sent as an email it’s also known as “junk” mail. No matter where the spamming takes place, the important word here is “junk”.

I looked it up in the Oxford English Dictionary:

1) discarded articles, rubbish

2) anything regarded as of little value

3) slang for a narcotic drug especially heroin

4) verb– discard as junk

Associated with “junk” is junk food, junk mail, junkie, junk shop……

So, junk is useless. We throw it away, so that there is room for the useful or valuable things. If we are good “friends” we do not put our rubbish through their physical letter box, and should therefore be just as considerate when posting in emails, forums etc online.

I don’t believe spam works. Just as I would not appreciate my neighbour dumping their rubbish in my garden, I do not appreciate junk in my emails or being dumped in my forum. I delete the emails without reading them. In my Mother Earth forum I was very upset when someone posted their junk which had nothing to do the theme. I deleted that immediately too. It is a form of abuse really, in my mind.

Voila Scott. I think I’ve actually put two pennyworth!

The title of the forum thread is:

Would you read your ads and posts?

This is a very interesting topic and Scott wants us to create a spam free internet.

Here’s the forum link where there is quite a discussion going on:

Look forward to seeing you there.

Hello,

I was reminded by someone that I hadn’t updated my blogs for a while.

Been so busy that I have neglected my blogs and I smack my wrist.

Here is a little report that I wrote which is also a business in a box.

You may like to download it and feel free to give it away to anyone that you feel may benefit from it.

You can download it here. Don’t forget to save your copy.

Best wishes & Angel cuddles,

Invitation to my Forum

Social networking is a way of sharing and getting yourself known.

I have two forums over at Adlandpro where I share my views and interact with others in my forums and in their forums. Sometimes it is serious and sometimes it is downright fun.

I invite you to visit my forums:

Niche Marketing and Online Writing

cherubs on book

One way of profiting from your creative and writing skills is to develop a niche Website.

What is niche marketing?

The phrase seems to mean “making money from websites that are not to do with the ‘how to make money’ subject area.” Niche doesn’t mean that, of course, but internet marketers have come to talk about it as that.

Why a Niche Website?

1) First of all, bear in mind that they are exciting and fun to do. They are
a great way to express your creativity!
2) Your Niche Website is usually about one of your interests or something that you know a lot about. When it is your passion, that makes it easy to talk about and your content will
flow and people will enjoy reading your words and will appreciate having lots of good content.
3) You create your Niche Websites at home, when you want and at your own convenience.
4) Niche Websites can provide very substantial income streams once you have built up your followers.

What will be the theme of your Niche Website?

Your Niche Website should be about one of your passions.

What are your interests? What are your hobbies? Do you have a specific skill or talent? What can you do which will be a benefit for others, or an answer to their problems?

To be successful online, it is important to give your readers a lot of content.

This content must be useful to them and in some way lead to improving their lives.

Share information and knowledge with people.
Have you got a passion? (Mine is writing, which you would never have guessed!)

The theme of your Niche is up to you and that passion!

So, write about your passion or knowledge and you will soon have an interesting and useful niche Website about your interest and can quite easily make a profit from selling books, Adsense, Yahoo, MSN and other items connected to your topic, from affiliate programs, such as Amazon or other bookstores and many other money-making techniques.

Of course, when you create your niche website, you also do an accompanying blog using monetizing techniques. A very good place I can recommend for getting help with blogging and marketing your niche Website and for getting well on your way to making money and
enjoying yourself at the same time is Success Patrol.

Take a look and start today with the help of Success Patrol.
