SELF MONETIZATION PRINCIPLES:
"The Art of Self Reliant Marketing"

So, I was just Thinking (Oh Oh)

You know those shares, The ones that mostly consist of
 Information and Resources that we kinda pickup as we journey along ..
The ones that we all often share with the fellow members of our Forum communities throughout the internet?
Well, if one of our Threads were to become really HOT & ACTIVE
(I've even seen quite a few Threads RANK for certain keywords)
So, do you know there are some Site Owners who would pay you nice money to post those
FREE TOOLS links.. or even Those helpful Articles or Tutorials we often Share
that come from their Website or Blog and is posted on YOUR thread?
Especially if you're a Forum member of some note and /or One who shares a lot of useful stuff..
SO SHARE A LOT OF USEFUL CONTENT WITH YOUR COMMUNITIES !!

Now, as long as it's a related, Authority or Relevant Information from a website Site or specialized Blog and NOT A IM FORUM like we have here(no competitor links should be posted)
And the Tools, Article or Tutorial etc.. are really helpful and can be an asset to that given community, I don't really see where this should be a problem, As long as the post isn't Sp@mmy
and you don't post Affiliate or referral links where they're not allowed.

You know this would be kinda like when folks advertise in their Signature for a fee.
It's not usually an affiliate link in their siggy and for all you know it could be their site.

Now, as we often  share articles, resource list's and stuff from other sites ANYWAY,
and we most times POST THE SOURCE LINK OF THOSE SITES,  and Well, they DO kinda benefit from our Traffic
so,
I think it poetic justice and I don't see why we should not be able
to monetize that in some small way..Individually, as long as we stay within the rules of the hosting Site or Forum If  we can convince a particular Website or Blog etc , of that community's worth to them, then I think it could be a win win..
I'm pretty sure some may already be doing this.
I say as long as the Info is Viable and helpful to that community MORE POWER TO THEM!
The Only Difference Might be that I am saying it out in the Open so
that our members can understand how to think from different angles to monetize their efforts.
And even if nothing comes of this and  admin swoops down and devours this Thread
I think a few will have gotten the Idea of what my intention were..
Which is not to in anyway be disrespectful but to add meaningful content to a given community
WHICH IS IT'S LIFE BLOOD
While also helping themselves out from adding that content which usually benefits
the Source site and The hosting forum and it's members...
I think it only fair that the Marketer who takes his time to bring these things together should
have the option to monetize and be rewarded for their efforts if they so chose to..
Most probably won't, but I know it would be appreciated to know that the option is available.

Why do I have a Strange feeling about this  lol
even though I think it is a pretty good summary of how things can and do operate

But what are we if not RISK Takers right






Until next time..
