Thanks Stone for the offer of $25.00 While the offer is a nice one, I would prefer you donate my 25.00 to Breast Cancer Research in the name of Gie B. Lundy (my wife)

Why I like, no, Why I love being a warrior.

I will try and keep this short, however, I could write a novel about the Warrior Forum, the members of the Forum both inside and outside the PIPS Forum.

When I hit this Forum on October 5, 2005 I had nothing but a dream. That dream was to become a successful online marketer. While I am making money, the success I dreamed of hasn't materialized... YET!

However, I wouldn't be where I am today without MANY people that post in the Warrior Forum on a consistent basis.

The responses to questions are answered in a timely and sometime extremely in-depth manner. Through the Warrior Forum and the wonderful Warriors I have had the honor of exchanging posts, PM's, emails and even phone conversations, my learning curve was and continues to be cut by years.

There is something for everyone inside the Warrior Forum. There are WSO's (Warrior Special Offers) that provide excellent ROI.

There is a "Private War Room" where newbies and "Gauds of Marketing" all share a common bond...the quest for knowledge, the desire to share knowledge and products and and help each other become an online success.

The PIPS Forum, at least for my 1st 2 years was where I spent much of my time. It was here that I learned what Link Machine was. I didn't have a clue how to upload or install scripts. A Warrior did it for me. (I have since returned the favor to many others),

It was in the PIPS Forum that someone took me by the hand after 6 full months of unbelievable fear and helped me log into my H4P backend. SIX MONTHS and I hadn't a clue what was inside my website.

It was here that I learned HTML, PHP and many many other things.

I think what really excites me the most is that regardless of your knowledge, your abilities (or in my case at times my lack of abilities), there is ALWAYS someone willing to help another Warrior.

Bottom line, if it wasn't for MANY WARRIORS, I would have given up on my dream years ago and many thousands of dollars sooner.

As it is, the light is getting brighter every week. It's a great feeling knowing that even more success is just around the corner.

Everything I have is because of the Warrior Forum and the fantastic people in it.

Hi Stone,

Although I have not made 500 posts yet - I still want to make a post here to state why I love being on the Warrior Forum.

1. Great Support
The people here are awesome - I get lots of support that I need and the people here are really eager to help, namely, Patricia! She helped me tons.

2. Ready Information
Lots of great information is readily available here whenever I am looking for more information.

3. Evolution
The Internet is a continual evolving place and the forums upgraded to keep in pace with it. It's a bold move because of the immense amount of information that's on the old forum and its a statement that the forum's moving towards the future.

4. Networking
I got to connect with people - real, live people - who are in near my area who are also interested in making a real, residual income using the power of the internet. Without the Warrior Forum, I would NEVER have found these like-minded people.

5. Resources
The Warrior Forum has got people who are so willing to share their resources to help each other. No matter for what reason. There are newbies who made it that want to help other newbies make it and they share it in their ebook. There are those who have already succeeded and want to help the newbie succeed as well. And the resources provided are fantastic!


That's all I have right now off my mind - I might come back and add more later! Thanks again, Stone!

Hi Stone,

It's pretty easy to say why I love it here, it's the first place I went to learn how to run an online business and the members jumped on board fast to answer my questions

I would have never got as far as I am today without this forum and it's members. Like most newbies I had questions about my Blog and setting up Getresponse and a hundred questions about article writing and my website. Each and every one of them were answered fairly quickly and the advice was right on the money.

At first I was a little concerned that those with experience would not help. But I was as wrong as I could be. It was the experienced and successful PIPsters who were the first to answer me.

As time went on and I got past the newbie kind of questions many of the members became friends. They are people I would love to meet in person one day and some have expressed the same towards me. Having been to many forums before this one it was like a breath of fresh air meeting like minded people with one goal in mind, helping each other become successful.

I still ask questions as the need arises but I also answer those that I know. I am far from a well seasoned online maketer but I have learned a lot here and will gladly share it with those just starting out. I hope others feel as I do that this forum is like a family of people all willing to help each other.

There's no other place quite like this forum. I plan on being around for a long time to come.

When we came over hear to the new WF I logged in with a new name ...my Name.

I had previously requested a name change, but it just didn't happen, so the opportunity was there to do it now.....downside? I lost all my post history count..

Ah well....soon get there again.

Hi Stone

The Warrior Forum has been the best Internet Marketing School for me.

For the first 18 months of my PIPS career I used to spend every day in the PIPS Forum searching for information and asking questions. They were always answered and I learnt so much from the members and top PIPS members. I often refer to it as a "gold mine of information".

It's great because everybody is keen to help even though we are in competition with eachother.

Cheers for now

Wow, what can I say about the WF! This was the first forum I came to when I started my business online. Since being here and with PIPS I've learned more than I thought possible. I had no clue as to what I needed to do with my business but everyone has been so helpful from the very beginning. There's no way I would know what I know now without PIPS and the WF!! Thanks!

Thank you Stone!

After a few months of reading, learning and asking questions I started actually answering questions and realized just how much I have learned here. It is a great resource for all to share and learn.

[Patrician]

Not sure if I qualify for the big bucks here but just want to go on record as a major forum chatterbox.

I would literally not be working in the internet marketing industry today if it wasn't for the PIPS WF and the wonderful and powerful alliances I have been blessed with here.

I was 'lost in space' when I came here and a few kindly people made me feel like I was welcomed here, in spite of my being clueless.

They guided me and helped me with technical issues, where prior to that every obstacle seemed like it would be the one to sink the ship.

Working at 'home alone' sounds easy, but it is the spirit of this forum being a 'beacon', that gave me the confidence to navigate the course while 'flying blind'.

I would say the most valuable thing I learned here was how to 'network' with others. Networking is absolutely critical to any career, and especially one on the internet.
(networking=to know and be known without an agenda)

I love you all.

That's very generous of you, Stone!

I found out about the Warrior Forum through your PIP program. I started reading this forum and soon became a WF forum junky, lol. This place is like an Open University for Internet Marketers. In fact, I think we should get a bachelor degree after 4 years on the Warrior Forum

Seriously, this is The place on the Internet for both aspiring and experienced online marketers. PIP members are very lucky to have their very own support forum in here. I'm sure it contributes to the success so many Pipsters achieve online.

Johan

Hi Mr. Stone,

Wow that's very generous of you!

It's only been a while that i have been here and i sure did get a lot of valuable information.
Well, this is just a thought maybe you can also make that offer in your 30 days guide as a sort of motivation to the newbies.

Example:
Get A Surprise bonus - If You've Made 50+ Warrior Forum Posts

It maybe in terms of money or something else just to get a newbie motivated and inspired to get that surprise bonus..

Just a thought....

Stone,

One of the most powerful features of the warrior forum is the building of relationships with other forum members. Sometimes that means dollars and cents, and other times it means having someone who understands where you are because they have been there themselves.

The main forum is where I spend most of my time and make most of my posts.
I find it exciting to see so many new people finding this little world we call the Warrior Forum.

Of course one of the main ingredients of success of this forum is the continued hard work of Allen and all the moderators that work their tails off to keep this the kind of forum where people feel open to share, and discover this exciting world of Marketing.

WooHoo! I'm in the "500 Club!" I had to look at the number of posts I had to see how far I had to go to reach 500 ... and I was already there!

Hello, Stone:

I was a complete newbie to online marketing when I joined the Plug-In Profit Site (PIPS) program. Soon after joining, both Patricia and your 30 Days to Success training program recommended I sign up to the Warrior Forum.

However, being new to online marketing, new to PIPS and new to online forums, I resisted - I was experiencing information overload and didn't need one more responsibility to challenge me even further.

What a mistake that was! Eventually, I did check into the Warrior Forum and what an incredibly uplifting experience it has been! The information, insight and inspiration provided by fellow Warrior Forum members has made a noticeable difference in the speed of my online marketing development.

The other advantage is, when you contribute your own ideas and experiences to the forum for the benefit of other members, the responsibility really helps you to focus on the essentials and figure them out more clearly before posting in the forum. In other words, we learn by teaching, or telling others what we know about something.

The Warrior Forum is part of my daily routine. I never fail to pick up good ideas and inspiration every time I visit the forum. And I always try to do my best to contribute in a meaningful way.

Sincerely,

What a great gift Stone.

I’ve been on board since 1998 and it’s the only forum online that’s managed to keep me for 10 years.

To me, it’s a great board because of its growth. The constant flow of new members keeps the board from stagnating. It stays fresh. That’s what keeps a forum alive... and that’s why I loved this place for a decade.

Success,
John

Thanks again.

Hi Stone,

When I first joined the Warrior forum back in 2004 I didn't have the slightest clue about SEO, article marketing, pay per click advertising, or any other internet marketing skills for that matter.

It is thanks to the helpful members of the Warrior forum that I was able to learn these skills by asking questions and searching through previous posts. There is no such thing as a stupid question and no question will go unanswered.

I enjoy the friendly atmosphere within the Warrior forum and although I consider myself to be further along the internet marketing learning curve these days I still visit the forum regularly to ask and answer questions and keep up to date with my Warrior friends.

The Warrior forum has helped me immensely in making a smooth and successful transition from newbie internet marketing novice to full time work from home internet marketer.

Cheers,
Suzanne

Hi Stone,

The Warrior Forum without a doubt has helped me tremendously with my online business. When I first started with SFI and then ultimately PIPS (one of the very first people to sign up) there was no really very little training at the time as you were just building your business.

It was the Warrior Forum where I learned so much early on in my online career. The ability to read other Warrior's posts was a tremendous influence on what direction I wanted to take my online career. The information I learned was priceless.

Hi Stone

Well of course I have been here almost as long as Allen Says has, hence my recent post telling a lot about my journey here.

http://www.warriorforum.com/links-fr...llen-does.html

So I can add to this that without the Warrior forum I would still have made a lot of money on the Internet but not as much of course.

But why do I love being a Warrior?

Well for me it is all about the friends I have gained here, there really is no better bunch on the Internet.

Plus I know that if ever there is something I cannot figure the answer to then if I ask here I will soon be told how to do whatever I can't do.

Now I will ask you a favour Stone.

Start giving away my latest eBook to your website visitors your newsletter subscibers, in fact any one you know please give a copy of this eBook to so that everyone learns quickly just how good this forum is.

This is my way of thanking Allen Says from the Warrior Forum for being my inspiration, my mentor, my guide and above all my friend on the Internet.

Thank you for your offer, Stone. It is an inspiring offer. I am long way to qualify for it, but I am sure that I will get there one day.

I am sure that I will reach the 500+ posts, and not with and posts, but hopefully with quality posts.

I have not been around for a while, but now I am back and I am planning to be an active member of the Warrior Forum.

It is a great forum and an even greater community.

[Jose Delgado]

I love being a Warrior because everyone is so helpful and nice.

This is truly a great Place to get started and for the gurus to help the newbies that want to make a living online.

I just think its the best place to be in.

There are so many coaches you can learn from here and everything is free! (except wso's )

WF is the BEST!

Let's see. Why I love being a warrior. Advice is abound. No matter where you look or the type of marketing you use, you are sure to find someone to help you on your way, give you some great tips and tricks and generally help out.

The atmosphere is one unknown to most of the internet. Very few forums would ever or will ever have the atmosphere of people helping people as this one does. Warriors are truly giving souls.

I love being a warrior, not for the name ( which is indeed very befitting), but also because of the simple fact, you are the company you keep and I love the successful company all around me that has helped shape my business and mindframe to succeed in a business of which so many fail.

Stone,
I've been on the Warrior Forum for many years now, and I've seen it thru several incarnations. When I first became a Warrior we had to pay for the privilige.
It's grown tremedously and has changed, but I will always be a Warrior,for it's an expereience that can change your life.

Hi Mr Stone,

This offer will be forever or has a dateline? It is still far for me to reach 500, but I will take your challenge to post at least 3 forums a day.

Innitially I was getting upset and angry with Pat as whenever I asked questions through the helpdesk, she will asked me to join the forum. In my mind, how can join the forum can answer my question. Severals time she asked me to do that but I was having problem to log in. But once I log in for the 1st time in FORUM, I had fall in love with it. Everybody is very helpful, thanks to all the PIPSTER. I was regret that I was unable to log in earlier.

Since last week I was having same problem again with log in till tonite I manage to log in. Why it is so difficult to log in?

[kcgeorge]

Stone,
I know i have made any near 500 posts but i will contribute this:
That the warrior forum is like a class room to me.I turn on my computer sign-in to check my mails and next to warrior forum.I go on searching and reading from one part of the forum till i get to the other part.I don't even feel a bit bored doing this 'cause it's basically my way of learning internet marketing.

This is the best forum on Net as far as i am concern.

[Doug Gorman]

The only thing that I can say about the Warrior Forum is that it is the most essential tool that anyone can use to build any online business. I would still be at least a year behind if not for the wealth of info that I have obtained in this forum.

It also has been an inspiration and has inspired my other ventures that I use to help other PIPS members with thier businesses. You can learn just about anything that you need to know from this forum alone.

Where else can you go to have any question answered very quickly than in here. You also get many different opinions and responses, so that will help in deciding what route to take on whatever project you are working on.

I still value and view PIPS as a family and nothing brings it closer together than the PIPS forum.

With this new format, it makes the forum more personable, and that will only bring PIPS members closer together.

Why I Love being a Warrior...

The help and assistance I have received here has been phenomenal in my 2.5 years in business, not to mention a place to come to call home, friendly people, support techs. who are right there for you offering hand-holding as well as humour in tough times! Not to mention regular Warriors who are willing to step up and fix my site for me in my early days when I didn't know how to fix it myself, even though they didn't know who I was. And thanks to this forum and its great people, I now can do it myself!

Thank you Warriors!

Well...

I love being a Warrior because of all the helpful people. Seriously, where else can you find someone to help you on a question at any hour of the day? The answer is nowhere!

My goal is to someday be able to work full time using the internet as my main form of income. Being able to talk to people on a day to day basis that are already doing what I am working so hard to do, makes it that much easier.

I am so positive that that day will come, and when it does, I will have all of the Warrior Forum to thank.

That is why I love the Warrior Forum.

The Warrior Forum is what took me from making a few hundred a month to making THOUSANDS a month in just a little over a year!

Anyone who thinks the Warrior Forum is just like any other forum are dead wrong. The friendships I have made and the business partnerships I have formed are priceless.

The quality of people here is excellent. I feel very honored to consider myself a true Warrior. Not just for my own business, but for all of us working together to uplift and challenge each other.

Stone,

I appreciate this as I've learned so much here plus have over 600 here. Back in 2003, Kurt and I emailed a lot about what used to be called doorway pages and he generously helped me out so much. I met him on this forum and later got some of his wsos which taught me a lot. There were many great posts here then too about search engine optimization and setting up minisites etc. Everyone has always been helpful and this is the only forum I've been with this long. I always liked the interface and the pm system too!

The last few years I've learned so much about blogging, article marketing and offline local biz from this forum as well. There are many inexpensive wsos that are goldmines (not all of course!). Someone even helped me out with making me a doc file with those little tabs on bottom you rip off with the phone number when I was giving a yoga/therapy workshop. That was emailed me within 10 minute of my post here.

I find the quality of the people and information is superb. Also as marketing models change I can find the latest knowledge here.

But anyway, the earlier post I made was 2 months back and I'm

With the help of the Warrior Forum, I've grown to become somewhat
better in Internet Marketing. In fact, some people were surprised
that I knew so much despite only starting IM in late July! I
owe it all to the Warrior Forum.

Truly, the Warrior Forum is my IM Secret Weapon.

Hey!

The last time I saw this, I was on 900 posts or something, but I didn't ask for the money as I was making enough for myself.

But today Michael Tracey needs our help so here I am trying to make as much moeny as possible today and donate something to him.

I think this will be the best utilization of the $25 I get from you... I will add up $25 from my PayPal.. and send it to Michael Tracey thorugh Big Mike.

Here's my paypal... paypal [at] lakshaybehl .com

P.S. what i love about this forum??

THIS IS NOT JUST A FORUM... But a big branched family... Where we fight big wars for any one of our members... Like Michael Tracey!

I know this is probably the only place where so many people just want to help someone in need of help without batting an eyelid.

[Michael Mayo]

Hi Stone,

What a nice jester on your part Thanks!

What I like about the Warrior Forum is the fact there are so many
knowledgeable marketers here to watch and learn from.

Also the fact that this forum is more than just a forum. It's a place where
like minded individuals can get together and communicate, build on ideals,
test them and get valuable insights to solve possible problems before
actually placing something on the market.

Another thing I really like about the Warrior Forum is that everyone seems
to look out for one another and there is a real sense of community and
friendship in the digital air.

Thanks again.
Have a Great Day!

WOW what a cool thread

Do I get $25 for every 500 posts :p

Put it this way.... Before I come across the warrior forum Each paragraph on my website used a different font, colour, and size.

It stated NO benefits, only what the product does. I made NO sales.

Now, I honestly feel like I can conquer the IM world through the knowledge Allen Says has generously handed me.
