The sad but very real truth about APSense.
People came to this site, unaware that they would be advertising to other advertisers. It's hard to make money when you only show your product to other sellers. People on APSense do not realize that we all have to work together in order for ANYONE to succeed.
There is no money in the advertising of a product to people doing the same thing. Sure, you're getting paid to do it here. But, it isn't much. You refer hundreds and hundreds of people, only for them to put a link on their profile and stop using the site. They don't want to do anything because they expect the site to do it for them.
Then you have people that go to your blogs and read them.... Only to not even so much as post a comment or top it. Regardless of how good the article was. They take the information into consideration and use the knowledge. But, give no credit to the person that wrote it. Then, they wonder why hardly anyone is topping their articles or why no one is commenting on them.
IF everyone would work together and actually do more on the site... Such as top good articles, post comments, rate business centers more, join good groups, and actually work at helping others. They would see a GREAT increase in not only earnings on APSense, but, knowledge as well.
This also ties into my formula I wrote and posted a few days back. http://www.apsense.com/article/110259.html
(sorry about the pop-up, I took the code out. But, it still comes up :( again sorry for that)
I went into great detail about teamwork, communication, networking, and such.
But, no one took hardly any of it into account.
The "big earners" on this site, are the ones that spend the time actually reading what others write, comment, top, and actually learn from what has been written. The people who claim this site doesn't work or that claim they aren't making anything worth using the site anymore.... are the ones that give no effort into using the site.
Let me use someone as an example. (sorry Lynn, but, I need someone who actually puts the effort in as an example)
Lynn works very hard on APSense, and manages to keep everything up to date. She goes and reads others postings, comments and gives input, and tops the worthy articles. In hopes that the people will do the same.... AS THEY SHOULD.
She has one of the biggest private networks on APSense, if I'm not mistaken, and I see her listed on the main page all the time in the top people. THIS COMES FROM HARD WORK!!
I noticed on my formula page, I had over 300 hits on it, but yet not even 20 comments.... In which almost a quarter of them were my own. Out of all the people that read that article very few decided to top it. Even though A LOT of people knew that was an extremely well written, and very informative article.
I understand that we all are here to make money. But, no one is going to make any money if we all do not help each other. It's the main key to making money. You can't make anything if you have no help. Especially in a virtual world where the more people you know the better.
Look at it this way. Would you want to get online and sit in front of a screen with a buddy list that is empty with no one to talk to.... or would you rather get online and have friends to talk to, friends and contacts to help you when you need advice or an opinion, or even someone to share ideas with?
(I know I said this below in a comment, but, I just remembered that I could edit the content.
So as I said, If this comment touched key points, please be sure to go to this article as well as it pertains to things that may help apsense and it's users.)

Thank you Max, I am still fairly new to this site but I rate it very highly. I am extremely busy outside the Internet so I have to make the time to be here. But I really like it and I am doing my best. Thanks for this bit of advice I will take it and run with it. I am understanding how it's run more and more each day. Thank you.

APSense is designed for people who work online in their part-time or full time.
The best value of APSense is to build your online reputation.

Hi Max, you couldn't have said it any better! I know I'm very late in discovering this article, however "it's better to be late than never" is really applicable here.
I joined APSense when it was first launched, and must admit that I didn't use it for a good year or more because it seemed pointless. That was mainly because a lot of people were only interested in getting my attention focused on their "opportunity" and could care less about what else was being contributed.

All that you say is true, so on a positive note I believe that we are also here to share successful information so here is mine http://www.BigListBigSales.com/downline/?mikephil this advertising vehicle cost you ten dollars per year to get results.
http://www.wealthonauto.com/members/mikephil this one is free, no upgrade, ever. lets share our successes with each other that's what really works for everyone.

Very very well said Max! I agree with you about team work. One thing that throws me is that people will be active in a community, but go outside the community to join other programs, then promote them in the community. When I see something I'm interested in I will look first to the communities I frequent to get the information I need or join a program. Case in point I have joined several programs from people in this community, paying ones too, and have not gotten so much as a I see you joined

I can relate to what you've said, and agree, But with such incite You will do well, just keep in mind to succeed you never give up!!!follow your heart , and God be with you. Michael P.

Thank you for accepting my request to become a part of this group. I love to write but have much room for improvement. It seems I get excited and have all these thoughts and ideas in my head and some times, I cannot get them on paper and or know how to connect them to our business.

Hi Max, you hit the nail on the head, be it that your post is almost 3 years old, you are still getting good comments.
I see that the idiots posting links for comments on the blogs was here long ago as well, I agree on all the points you made here. Will certainly go read your other posts.

Hi Max,
I fully agree with each and every word of your publication.
APSense can become the absolute Top business networking site if (and ONLY IF) we start working together by visiting each others blogs and discussions (even in the APSense Traffic Exchange section), by exhanging thoughts in form of comments, by rating and "Share"ing quality content and by returning some of our earnings into the program (upgrading and/or buying advertisements) to make it work for all of us tomorrow, next month

Damm Max, Thanks, I am impressed and want to read more of your material. Very well done. May I link it to my other blogs?

Max, As I see it APSense is a tool much like a hammer. If you have a hammer on a work bench you need to pick it up and use it if you wish to drive a nail. The same is also true about using the hammer the right way. If you use the wrong end of the hammer it won't work for you either. With APSense the same applies. You have to use the site and apply what you have learned in the correct way.

Max you are so right, I have been guilty of that myself. Sometimes it's because I don't know how to use some of the features on the site. Then sometimes it's because I am in a hurry. But your point is well made and if people would listen and act it would improve profits for all.
