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.)

I did not join this site to earn money. Too much effort for too little reward.
Max I joined for the contacts the information and articles by other members and olso to palce some articles and ads myself. Most member here have their own program but like anywhere also online if you can get thousands to see your posts every day you will get sign ups to you programs.
Max then there is the delay factor, nothing usually happens for; usually ; about 90-days after you get the traffi

Sur,
I couldn't agree more. I have a group called friends that help friends or something along the lines. I'd love to get it to be one of THE BIGGEST groups, so that we can start learning from one another and get things really rolling.
Heres the link to that group. Unfortunately I can't link it so you will have to copy and paste.

As someone new to the social networking scene, I found your article to be right on target. I am one of those people who am unsure of how to go about networking, but I was very discouraged when all I saw were advertisements from other business people targeting me as their audience. I already have a business and want to develop it. It is very tiring to read the same blogs about how their company is the best; same message but different company.

I am new here but i wanted to take a minute to comment because I agree with what you were saying Max. The reasons you mentioned above are the reasons I joined apsense. I am sure glad to see that there is people who believe in working together and help one another. there will always be the "ONES" who only care about themselves. Also hats off to Lynn because she did take the time to say HI and welcome me and offer her help if I needed it when I first joined. It is people like her I look forward to

Hi Max,
I really appreciate your efforts and thumbs up to you. You have rightly pointed out that most of us are just bombarding ads to the sellers...result just a waste of time.
As per you..."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. " Yeah! that's the best message according to me for all of us.
Let's get together and change the way things are going around.

I just want to let everyone know that I deleted my comment on that I was proud of dropping something. To be honest with you, it was a very conscious decision that I made. And was going to 'step up to the plate' and let it be known that I did it!
Man...how do I say this without anyone taking it the 'wrong way'?
Here lately, I have been reading highly TOPPED blogs that do, and I agree, do have great content.
But the thing about it, it is the same thing over and over again. Like watching my dail

The ferociously apparent lack of participation by a large number of Apsense community members can do nothing but harm to a new community...
Words spread acoss the Internet like wildfire, and people just stay away... It's a shame that the active members are suffering much more losses than their share of revenues-- Some of the blogs that are written from the hearts and minds of some excellent writers are going unread, a fate that no writer wants or needs to bear.
Thanks, Max for a well wr

Fost,
I must agree, taking the drop it option completely out of the site would definitely do some good. To get rid of these no good droppers.

Yes, it is very sad. Apsense is losing a lot of their valuable members because of the drama. It is a total waste of time!

We had discussions on dropping many times. I do have to say my last words about dropping:
In my opinion, those who DROP - for any reason and without letting you know why they did it - are UGLY BULLY people ;-)
So, my advice, if you found them, stay away... and enjoy life, real life! ;-) Smile folks, life is too short to stay on this debate for month. I'm gone from it... I have to live my life and do my business! Thanks for your understanding.

Hi Max
One thing that has come out clearly from all these Blogs is that we need to get more involved and that very few people like dropping - it is an option that brings out the negative in people and for that rerason alone is totally in exces of our needs.!!
