Any forum for successful IM'ers only?

I'm not a "major" success in IM, but I've at least reached the point of making several hundred dollars on autopilot every month.

I've noticed that something like 70% of the posts in this forum tend to be asking very rudimentary questions over and over, or tend to be "how can I get rich overnight without working while I watch TV and eat ice cream" ridiculous posts by obvious newbies who don't even know what questions to ask.

With that in mind, I was wondering if anyone knows of a private forum that only allows internet "successes" to post. I think this would definitely restrict the membership and posting down to people who at least had something valuable to share with others, as opposed to how the forum is now with a large majority of posters not really having anything of great value to share.

BTW, I would define the "successful IM'ers only" line at a very bare minimum of people who are earning $100 per month or more from their online activities. This line would define that at least the person knows how to make some amount of money from online activities, and thus has knowledge that the 70%+ (my estimate) of newbies don't have. Perhaps there could be forums separately for people up to the $10K/month+ range and beyond, or just different forums for different business models.

Does such a forum exist?

      I agree, the War Room is not expensive and you can mine some seriously good information and ideas there. But like any forum you need to figure out which posts are worth your while.

    I think this is the just the place for you.

    Huh? That was just a link to the Warrior Forum! Something must be wrong here...

    Nope. You just need to do a better job of screening the threads that you choose to read.

    Not to be mean, but if there are forums like that, you may not qualify to participate.

    You are probably more successful than 89% of the people in IM, but you might need to be a Top Ten Percenter or a Top Five Percenter to access that forum.

    I belong to a couple of Skype groups that are like what you describe, but I cannot add you to those rooms myself. You must be invited by the person's who manage those groups, and they usually have stringent guidelines for adding people to the community.

      I understand. I think I am looking for a forum that is at the halfway mark between "super newbie" and "ultra elite super earner" in the IM world.

      Just a forum for people who are already making some sort of profit online, so that we know for sure that every member has something potentially valuable to share.

        As far as forums go, this is probably your best shot. You just have to pay closer attention to WHO you should be paying attention.

        Forum rules prohibit us from telling you about other forums, but to be honest, I have been on hundreds of them, and you are likely where you should be already.

          Hmm. I didn't know this was against the rules.

          The only paid IM forum I know of is the ProBlogger forum.

          But even that one doesn't have a requirement of "you must already be successful", which is what I'm looking for in a forum.

          I think Bill has a very valid point. Once you learn to separate the wheat from the chaff here you can hone in better on what you want to learn, the threads you want to participate in, and generally make your experience here a better one.

          It may surprise you to learn that a lot of the Warriors here were already making money online before they found this place. And you won't be able to tell by their post count or even their join date, in most cases. But you certainly should be able at this stage of the game to know if someone is giving you good information or is just spouting folklore to try to get folks to click on their sig link.

          Just keep your eyes open and pay attention, and also avoid the 'rant' threads because they are generally nothing more than a time suck.

        However, WF is really great and contains a lot of fantastic information if you just screen out all the newbie type posts and search the forum for the Golden Nuggets.

        Good luck.

          Something like this will also do the trick:

            I would actually be kind of interested in this myself - I make about 1k a month, but when I try to ask questions in WF, my threads either get buried or they are filled with nonsense replies.

    Dr. Ben Adkins has his Syndicate. It doesn't require specific income levels, but most people are earning. I can give you an aff link and a discount code via PM if you like, or you can just go sign up at syndicatemember.com if you like.

    Like the other poster suggested mastermind groups are the way to go and they are available in all shapes and sizes, from newbie to intermediate to elite, Free, local and even payed, you can search for mastermind groups that have monthly fee, that would filter out many that aren't at your level yet.

    I must warn you though you can find some pretty stupid successful people in any forum, niche, mastermind group, place on earth so I'm not sure that really answers your question.

      Granted, but have you seen some of the idiotic threads on the Main Forum.
      I can see where the OP is coming from, the same questions asked again and again (When a simple search could have the answer).
      But i guess people are just lazy these days and want to be spoon fed, doing your research is just to hard

      Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.
