Oh yeah, let's start a "welcome waggon" and go email everyone who is new. Spammers. Let's go email them with links to TT.Â
Oh, yeah Ray reads your emails!!Â
Ever stop to think they have read your boards and do not want to join in?
Even if new sellers come on, anyone coming on now is in it for "BUSINESS" purposes. They will not be like the currentÂ
drinking folks there to "support" WP.
They will stay, notice they are paying $9.95 for zippo traffic (pity sales don't count), then leave.
When will you realize, people DO NOT WANT TO DO ALL THE WORK OF DIRECTING TRAFFIC FOR SOMEONE ELSE OTHER THAN THEMSELVES!!! Yup, I want to pay for a site that gives zippo information about itself, deletes my posts when I ask a LEGITIMATE question, reads my emails....etc.etc.
Get yourselves a website and start swapping links with other store owners and direct traffic to yourself!!

Bolding mine.
Hey Popper! While you're at it, why not send the "Zero Tolerance Policy" board participation edict along with your "Welcome" letter, and don't fail to mention that while on the boards, questions about business, marketing, feature implementation, business plan, Ray or just about anything else other than rah, rah WagglePoop, will be cause for immedicate termination of account. Â

. . . Maybe I helped generate some new people. I posted on an etsy thread (where else are you)...my site meter is starting overload!! I have even gotten an email asking how is it selling here. That is sooo great. I am looking forward to seeing some new stores!
Advertise, advertise advertise!! ;-)
