Reality Check - Life/Business Without The Warrior Forum

It would go down yes.

But no point worrying about it. WF business has proven to be much more stable than Google and SEO over the last few years.

None. Zero. Zip. Zilch. Not many, Benny. Nothing at all. Nada. Nix. Not a sausage. Bugger all.

Much more boring. I'd need to find some other equivalent to use as a regularly interspersed distraction, when I'm online for about 12 hours or more.

.

The warrior forum contributes 0% of any revenue I generate in my companies.

My life/business would be a little less entertaining without the Warrior Forum.

So pretty much same as Alexa

It wouldn't affect my business at all.

I really just started to use the site consistently two days ago. I have 2 sales from here, but I was not advertising. I guess, if I become a more consistent contributor here that may change. Most of my business comes from another site.

I can find plenty of other people to be exasperated with. And let's be real: the same six questions/threads and hilariously poor self-promotion would crop up somewhere else.

I was a freelancer and I used to work on oDesk. I had 4000 hours of online work career. I had 4.83 average feedback. I competed 100s of work as a freelancer with happy clients. Few years back when I went to my office I found a email for oDesk. It says my account will be closed. Why? Because my feedback it lower. It can not be a reason. I thought I am destroyed. My career was destroyed. I mailed over and over, again and again to fix it. I also tried to know why they are doing it to me. They just gave me their term and condition page URL so that I can check.

Well, I think I did not do anything wrong. I though it is going to be the end of my career. But it did not. I made another carrier as a IM professional.

I think I am much more comfortable to do my works instead of a freelancer. When I was a freelancer I was much more concern about asking money ( I could not bid higher as I will not get the job ). I did not have option to make things as my imagination. I did not have option to show my creativity. Clients was God and I was always afraid of bad feedback to I use to work harder and even I had to work for free to make them happy for minimum wage.

Now I make my own product and sell them online. I provide support for my clients. Nothing special and I found a good way for living.

Honestly WSO section made me think that I can make something that I can sell. I get 15% of my total sells from this forum. Most of my sells comes from organic search. As I did not want to have same fate like oDesk so I have several websites. I have done a lot of JV here and I think I will grow bigger in near future.

Wise people think about future, some people learn from their mistakes. I learned from my mistakes, I thought oDesk is my career but it was not.When people think they are done actually they are not. I did not want to lead a life to think about negative feedback. I wanted to have a friendly relationship with my clients so I build up my own empire where me and my clients think same way and respect each other.

If something really bad happen WF can be shut down, but believe me people here will make something similar or find something similar. So, do not afraid about it, just think about the future and work hard for it and surely you will be able to change your current situation.

P.S. I am not a English speaking people so I am sorry for my big answer where something may not correct in grammatically or spelling

Thanks

I say about 5% of my total income coming from warriorforum through article writing. Majority of my income comes from my amazon, clickbank, and adsense sites and these are not advertised here.

Warrioforum is stable though..

I can honestly say that all my income comes from warrior forum ... when I say this its the place where I learned everything I know and setup a semi successful offline marketing company generating leads for clients. With WF I have the confidence to take on any opportunities even without the full in house ability as its a great place to out source to and get amazing ideas and feedback.

Even those who make money without exposure from here can thank a great deal of their learning and understanding to this forum, and although they would have most probably still been successful without the forum the learning curve would have been steeper I imagine. the beauty is that those who dont make money directly from the forum offer some of the best advice because they learned so much from here and from others before them.

People may complain that the huge numbers of newbies to the market dilute the content of the forum somewhat to me the jury is still out on that I guess because on many aspects I am a newbie.

But yeah those of you who were sold by a guru or product and spent months in the dark before finding this place I am sure you know how much harder business is/was without this forum or more importantly the members on here,

I do get some income through the WF from people needing my services but it's certainly not the only place I advertise.
Being an active member helps people feel like they can trust me to do a good job and is also a form of reference as others can see my chats.

I also chat with people I know in here, share ideas, learn, teach, have fun and a lot more. The WF isn't merely one thing. It's a lot of things to a lot of people.

I joined originally because I wanted to be around other Internet marketers.

It's cold out there all alone.

But being a marketer I could not continually pass up the free traffic and easy income.

If the forum disappeared tomorrow my income would take a slight dip, but I too wonder what I would break things up with.

I get some of my best laughs here.
