Catch 22 for New Members with qualifying posts

I know it's frustrating at first, but it's a skill worth learning. A lot of web masters will use strong forums (with a PR5 or better, or even .edu sites), to get back links to their site. You are correct, you don't want to leave a redundant message, just to get a post. If you were trying to get a back link to your website, they would throw you out of the forum. Warrior Forum won't throw you out for that, but others hi page rank forums would, especially .edu and .gov. web sites.

Best to use the search box in the red bar on the top of the page and search something that interests you, writing, blogging, website building, or whatever blows up your dress. Then scan what the subject is about, then go to the last page, read the last 5 or 6 posts and post something. You need fifty posts just to be able to pm someone. (pm = private message.)

Just make it easy on yourself, do 5-10 posts per day, and you will be there in a week or two. You might find that you actually like it and like I said it's a good skill to have. Think of it as a text message.

Also there is a link on the top called Help Desk. They have videos that you can watch to help you get your feet wet.

This is actually the longest post I've made, other than a product review! But I do this for you, my brother. :-) . I know what it's like when you first get started, but most people in here are pretty nice.

Check your private message, I'm going to PM you.

Good Luck.

I'm new here too, i still don't understand, is this just a place for advertising your product?

When I was new to the Warrior Forum, I didn't even know what a backlink was.
I got my post count up by contributing to the Forum. All very natural. I joined because I liked the forum and the people that contribute to it.

Just to let anyone reading this know, posts on the Off Topic section of Warrior Forum are not added to your post count.

As for posting messages and having something to talk about, once you're warmed up you'll probably need to edit yourself and resist posting too much

Catch 22 as in: "inorder to post messages you must first have posted 20 messages." And the one place I found to post messages doesn't count toward the requirement. Hope Im missing something

My pleasure, glad it helped. The worst part is that you can't PM till you got 50 posts. But PM me when you do.

There are areas where you have to "earn your stripes" before you can post in them as you've noticed, as well as the War Room where you actually have to be a member and pay a fee before being able to access it.

The best place to get started is in the main discussion board here: Main Internet Marketing Discussion Forum

You should find something up there where you can either ask questions or throw in your two cents worth.

A word of advice though about asking questions. Use the search function in the top right hand corner to check if that question hasn't been asked many times before. The old hands around here get bored with having the same questions asked over and over again.

If there's already a thread on the subject you want to learn more about, read through the thread and see if there are any points you need clarified, or expanded upon.

Pretty soon you'll have enough posts to gain access to other areas, as well as other benefits, and you're off and running from there.

Then when you've gained a bit more knowledge, you can always come back down here to the Off Topic board where we just chill out, shoot the breeze, laugh, love and basically just waste some time in pleasant surroundings.

There's no race to see who can rack up the most posts, so don't worry about it too much. You'll get there in due course.

Having said that, welcome aboard, and we look forward to seeing more of you in the future.

Thanks to all who responded to my inquiry. I enjoyed the comments, the ability to maintain a sense of humour, and the useful information.

I hope you all have raging prairie fire success and that you too will be able to decorate you sales pages with those $23,819.07 clickbank months!

I took one entire day, and used the search feature to give great, helpful advice on things I know about. I got 60 posts, over 40 "thanks", and helped a lot of people as well.

Everybody has some knowledge that is desired by someone else.

If you are an effective writer, type newbie, articles in the search box, browse the posts and begin "helping" not "posting."

Worked for me.
