My time at APSense
Over the years I've said and done a lot of things at APSense.
I've made a lot of good connections, learned a lot about marketing online, participated in a lot of good discussions, and had a lot of fun exploring and testing things out discovering what works what doesn't and what actually harms your reputation online.
I've also said a few things I shouldn't have, peeved a few people off and even made an enemy or 2 (so be it, I still say there's nothing that can't be talked out!)
One thing I've never done is buy into some program on a members page where I see nothing but copy and paste opportunity shouting. I've never paid much mind to anyone on any social networking site who couldn't muster up a hello or talk about anything at all unrelated to their business for more than 5 seconds.
On the other hand I've always valued the input of others, whether criticizing or agreeable, I've never pretended (contrary to poplar opinion!) to know everything or be any better than anyone else. I've also always been an advocate for truth, in advertising and in real life, justice, and accountability of ones own actions on a social networking platform.
As for my future use of apsense which is yet to be determined but I am sure little will change in the way I do things, I would suggest for any newly active members, especially those newer to so-called internet marketing that they really take some time here and get to know the people in this "member-driven" community, experiment with things and have some fun with the site.
This is what worked best for me, and my time at APSense....

just want my account deleted
LOL...OC I am positively tickled pink from the obsessed members, to 3 word replies, to actually understanding the product you are promoting, to the constantly renewed feces!
What can your product do for me you ask??
Heck if I know but I read somewhere it's been known to spontaneously induce orgasmic experiences in people just like you and me the world over!!!!
All too much I miss the days of approaching a subject from an objective and non-judgmental point of view, back when we could

Nice sentiments Garnet. It takes me back to when it was possible to argue without receiving maliscious personal abuse. It takes me back to when, for the most part, the active members of Apsense were worth listening to. It takes me back to when members actually had interests outside of their internet marketuing dreams. It takes me back to when members were DRIVEN not OBSESSED. It takes me back to when article comments were at least a full sentence long. Oh, and it reminds me of the days when bizz

Very good article Garnet. I can remember when the goal of APSense members was to extend a helping hand to each other.
