I participate in many forums, and even though these forums aren’t the most active, I think that they provide the most valuable information. I’m only sad it took me so long to start using this site.

But we’re still competing, even if the sites are not exactly the same, we’re all aiming for the same audience. Which is people who make money through the ownership of websites. This audience is not infinite and so we are all competing for a finite resource. I think that is the textbook definition of competition.

And while I’m flattered with your mentorship offer, I really do not have time to contribute at other forums. Plus it would only serve to hurt the growth of this forum as people wouldn’t necessarily need to come here for my advice.

I also addressed Lee’s forum, Tyler’s upcoming forum, and of course, yours. This is more of a personal letter to all of you about our new forums and how we differ. I’m not looking for a fight or competitors.

Anyhow check out the thread here, and comment back or email me back on what you think of it.

Just wanted to clear that up as it may have been inadvertantly connected with me.

I’m glad it’s not being sold through sitepoint, I like the of keeping the trade secrets to a smaller group like WP frequenters

As far as I’m concerned Websitepublisher.net is the best site for independent web publishers and always will be. This site is what got me started making money from websites. Now after two years of hard work I’m working from home full-time doing something that I love. Thanks Chris and everyone else here who’s given me support, motivation, and advice over the last two years!

What I believe makes this site so great is that Chris realizes we’re not interested in him throwing his money around, we’re interested in him throwing his knowledge around. If you ever do consider a contest think about giving away some one-on-one consulting time as a prize. The kind of people you want posting here will realize that this is worth much more in the long run that a few thousand in prize money.

I didn’t enjoy the boys locker room 45 years ago and try not to visit places which remind me of it. It’s nice to visit a site where the posters are capable of developing content themselves.

I’ve gotten more information and knowledge from WSP forums since I joined here than anywhere else online and the “family” appeal of it still brings me back every day.

The battle of the web publishing “gurus” has begun but I know where I’ll be spending my forum time for now.

I think the biggest mistake a forum owner can make is trying to be the same as another forum. I believe both Jon and Lee are doing things different enough to appeal another segment of an already niche audience.
