Why be a member here?

[URBAN COLOUR]

I was thinking today that with all the advice I get here it would probably be worth spending a few bob to join

So, With a little time I found the link, saw the membership price of £40+vat and used the link to see what the benefits of membership are.

In comes Darren Falkingham (who is a free member) to explain the benefits to me. To be honest, Its been a long day but the benefits dont seem that great. what do you guys get back for your £40+vat... Am I being dim and missing something

Thanks

We get a lot of business for £40 .00 from this site

My question is if your running a business and posting on here and visiting the site why are you not a member ?

 

[URBAN COLOUR]

So you are happy with the membership then. Great

What are the benefits?

If you go to through home page you will see a link (top right ish) there is a comparison to show you the extra benefits of becoming a member

Haha good post Sir.

Seriously though, you get out of this site what you put into it. Or I would have said that more so before the recent changes.

Only if they wash first ........ or so I,m told

2 big benefits
1. you get to put a real link on your signature, which can bring in leads (if you post sensible things)
2. you get to join the secret members only section of the forum, but we are sworn to secrecy not to mention what happens there

I'm not here to gain any business but if I can help genuine newcomers start out then it's worth every penny. I wish there had been people and sites like this to help me when I started. I had to crawl up from the gutter.

 

I used to be a paid member but as I have no need of more work I decided to give me 40 quid to a charity that provides a hot meal every day for a child for 6 months.

Hah have you seen the accounts that prove they do this?

£35 in admin fees probably- - but heck let's not derail the thread for a change Earl eh?

Break the habit of a lifetime why don't you, you old goat.

I am a paid member and have been getting a steady stream of interest.
But don't expect everyone to suddenly turn into your client just because you posted a few jokes ...

You get what you put in. Simples

I think it's mainly about getting your link in the signature. Of course you can get a website review too, which may help.

I would pay for the membership if I were offering a service frequently sought on the forum: web desing, virtual office, accountancy, answering services, payroll services etc.

I would also pay if the membership was cheaper, probaly around £20 a year or less.

I disagree, from our standpoint we are due to upgrade shortly and it is not for the link, won't be adding one.

Our reason is to help support a site that is (on the whole) providing excellent info on a whole host of SMB related issues AND it has helped us along the way massively.

£40.00 per year equates to 10p a day (ish). I waste more than that on poxy newspapers that do not keep me as well informed
