Erik,
Have I only posted twice? I have been lurking for a little while, so it feels like I should have posted more. Must have opened my mouth often and typed seldom
I will come clean that the owner is an acquaintence of mine, so I am in on the ground floor, so to speak.
I am not an owner nor do I make money for promoting the site. There are 3 reasons I am mentioning and promoting the site:
- I am a user of the site and it is brand new. In order for it to be a truly valuable asset to me, it needs to grow.
- I have paid as much as $49/mo and have been pitched on similar systems that charge as much as $249/mo to join. This site is truly affordable at less than $20/mo; and
- As I mentioned in this thread, the owner is doing a ton of research so that he can offer a lot of training materials on FSBO marketing. He is borrowering from a lot of sources that charge for the info and adding new touches he is learning from the LOs that are on the system early. Currently the access to the training information is free and without a password protect, so everyone should use it.
Like I said, I get no direct financial benefit from promoting the site. BUT, as it grows and begins to be a destination on the internet, my FSBOs are happier about my free offer to post them there and I may see some leads from my area that find it on their own.
The owner is a business acquaintance of mine and I do think he is a good guy, so I have no trouble helping him get the word out. His name is Chuck Kuhter and I can get you his phone # if you want it, although I think it is on the site already.
