advertising on the list (was How do you find the motivation to stay raw??..

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

 

I think it can be a bit challenging to make rules about this. What

exactly would be an advertising post? Is it advertising to mention

services which might help someone? I would like access to all possible

resources, and I think I can sort out who I'm interested in connecting

with and who I'm not. I am kind of put off by certain approaches, but

then I just ignore them. If there are people who have services or

products to offer, I want to know about them. This type of information

is difficult to find, being kind of obscure/not in the mainstream.

Knowing who/what is out there also stimulates me creatively and

intellectually. Personally, I'd rather take a few annoying posts along

with some possible gems than have my information limited. I haven't

seen too much obvious spam here.

Why not set up a section in the group files and people can post what they do,

where they live, etc....

 

OR have ONE day a week they are allowed to " advertise " on the list.

 

I don't have a problem with their signature lines, either. I just quit reading

at the end of the message, sometimes before.

Hi Laurie, adverising would be like the one that we got this morning

about mushrooms and nothing else and I don't remember this person on

before. I think if you are a member and do sell something you could

put it at the bottom of you post. Then if yopu are a coach to give

advice but not to say for anyone to call when they know they want to

charge for they advice. I know they might have gone to some kind of

school for the training but I do know that they can advertising other

places. It is like me I can send you a whole post on my business with

my girls or the business that my son is in that is the gross one. His

friend call him death on cardboard and fire. His is one if you are raw

you won't have to use for even longer.

Hi I think this would work very well and maybe put it in the links

then we could go to them when we want or need them.

It would also be like the tag team that mentions some Multi Level

Marketing super food item and one goes " it cured this and that " , then

the other chimes in with, " yeah it's great and made my hair silky and

cleared up my complexion.... "

 

Give me a break
