What Is The Definition Of A Spammer?

[Matt LaClear]

I originally posted this in response to a poster on another thread. But after reading it afterward I decided to also share it on it's own post.

The question the poster asked me was, "What is your definition of a spammer?"

This is what I answered her:

I think a spammer is anyone attempting to advance their own agenda with someone new they meet before getting to know them and their needs.

When someone leaves a banner ad that's just plain rude. That person obviously could care less about anything related to you other than your credit card number.

I suggest you go to your settings link and turn your privacy on. That way you have to approve comments before they are posted on your page.

Don't get me wrong I am not against posting comments on peoples pages. I have made some pretty decent coin from doing just that. But when I post a comment on someone's page I make sure to try to advance the agenda of 1) The person who's page I am commenting on, 2) The Sta.rtup.biz network administrator, 3) Then my own agenda.

I advance the agenda of the person I am posting on by giving them links to forum links they may find useful. In doing so I am getting good information in their hands they can use to advance their own agenda.

Advancing the agenda of the network administrator is very important too. By sharing helpful forum links to members I am driving extra traffic to the forums for him or her. Administrators love traffic hitting their forums because when someone does hit the forum they usually end up clicking on multiple posts. Which drives their pages views up plus gets feedback coming in for the people who started the discussions on the forums. Which encourages them to post even more. But I think the main thing to advance the agenda of the administrator is to help motivate their membership base to become more proactive in the network.

Lastly I advance my own agenda by further advancing the agenda of the person whose page I am posting on by offering them a free gift in which they have to opt-in to my list to receive.

When you operate a social networking campaign such as that your network will grow very quickly because everyone involved in the transaction will be benefiting from it.

If any one of the three are not benefiting from your posts then the whole thing collapses and you have to start over from scratch.

If the person whose page you post on does not benefit from your post then they will ignore you. The result -- you quitting discouraged.

If the administrator does not benefit they could ban you from the network and delete all your posts with a single click of a button! The result -- you quitting discouraged.

If you don't benefit from the post then you will not be doing it very long because you won't see any results from your efforts. The result -- you quitting discouraged.

Meeting people online is just like meeting them in person. So once you learn to interact with others online then you will then learn how to interact with them profitably offline as well.

I guess I could of summed up all this in just one sentence for the sake of brevity. Here it is:

"Feed the network and it will feed you in return."

In general most people leave some sort of link with any message. Whether we like it or not , this is true with the majority. Even so; as some are polite and almost ethical about it. I save people time and energy by posting all my links on my own page and never , or may I say very rarely leave links on others pages unless they are asked for.
Now I don't know how ethical one feels me putting all my links on my own page is but I have a lot more to offer than a mouth full of words waiting to find the right opportunity to ethicly sneak those links in after I have felt you out and think I know you better. Or visa-versa.
I try to find team members but most are interested in trumping up their programs and making claims of incredible sales. If you join most of these trumped up ( I have been at it a week and have 60 paid members and 1000 in my downline the truth usually turns out to be more like 6 in my downline and 1 paid member.
This is why I just put it right out there ON MY PAGE and leave your page for conversing and what you have to offer.
Any true team leader would not lie to find team members to make a successful program run.
Remember, programs and systems work. If people work them correctly.
If I have 5 paid members and each of them has 1 paid member I will help them get their five as I will make money on their sales. But when someone tells me they have tried everything and can't get a single sign up I know that they have not tried everything.
Simply because those same people look at my page and say { that seems like an awful lot of programs you have there. How do you keep track?
I have to laugh because if they only would "SEE" what they are looking at 90 % of what they are staring at {and not seeing} are advertising programs.
And if they were really trying as hard as they say they are they would sign up for 20 of these programs and advertise.
I ask this question allot, = What do you have in your advertising portfolio. 90% of the time I get this answer...... Oh, I have a safelist I use with 90,000 I mail to and I belong to a link exchange that I use and I do a little networking.
My Suggestion is always the same = Multiply that by 200 and put them all in an orderly fashion and a schedule and you may make some money. Or better yet. JOIN MY TEAM and WE WILL SPLIT THE WORK and help our downline and teach them to do the same.

I don't know man, that sounds like allot of work. Have you tried GDI? Ha Ha.
7 years ago. TRY THIS =
Auto Team Builder and Marketing System and that ain't SPAM baby!

And if I may discretely sneak in one more: I Promise to Never Do It Again::::
