Of all the affiliate discussion forums I have visited and participated in, few have the sense of community like NetProfitsToday.com. Operated by Rosalind Garner, author of The Super Affiliate Handbook, beginner and veteran marketers come reach out to each other: veterans guiding newcomers; beginners giving veterans fresh ideas; each person having experience in various areas.
Along with the discussion forums, Rosalind writes helpful articles on her affiliate marketing blog. Many times those articles support the current discussions. Putting the articles into the blog allows Rosalind to expand on each topic more than the discussion forum would allow. Once the article is posted, a comment is made in the forum that links to the article for an in-depth review.
Sure there are much larger forums where tens of thousands of people gather daily. That may be good for experienced marketers, but for beginners it is frustrating to see the conversations move so fast that they are tough to follow. Those are places where ridicule is second nature to some, with disregard to how that welcomes beginners to the community.
NetProfitsToday.com is much more laid back, friendly and sensitive to how criticism is handed out. When someone asks for ideas on choosing a niche market, various members join in with their ideas to help the asker along. Website reviews are honest, detailed and most of all, helpful. By the end of the conversation, everyone involved knows that someone was helped that day.
There are all types of people from many walks of life in multiple countries. However, most of them though are from USA or Canada. To help with forum growth, recent additions to the moderator team were chosen based primarily on their level of participation, interaction with others and knowledge level in various areas.
The invitations to help moderate were not previously announced. Instead, the new moderators were made surprise offers after being watched for extended periods of time. Each one was both delighted and surprised with the offer. Apparently, only two people knew about the selection process: Rosalind and her long-time moderator, Bradley.
With the moderator team in place, NetProfitsToday.com is poised for growth to reach out to even more affiliate marketers. I am proud to be a member of that team.

When evaluating article directory sites as to whether or not to post to them, make sure you pay special attention to the alexa ranking and not so much to the site’s pr value.
The PR value is set by Google and as we all know, there are a lot of other search engines that have great results too. I never paid much attention to PR value or Alexa ratings because I base the popularity on the site visitors and comments. Thanks for sharing.
Each post I have read is well written and to the point. I would also like to say, not only are the articles well written, but the lay-out of your web-site is excellent. It was easy to navigate from article to article and find what I was looking for with ease. Keep up the excellent work you are doing, and I will be back many times in the near future.
Could not find a suitable section so I written here, how to become a moderator for your forum, that need for this?
That is not my forum. It belongs to Rosalind Gardner. Go there an introduce yourself in the Meet & Greet section. When you do, you can ask about being a moderator. There are enough moderators right now, but maybe she will put you on a waiting list. Thanks for asking.
How cool is that!
Thanks for all the nice words Jim.
And you’re right of course.
Net Profits Today’s community is one I’ve cherished for years,
simply because it IS much more laid back, friendly and sensitive.
That also describes our wonderful hostess. Doesn’t it.
As one of the “real” marketers,
she sure has some noticeable differences from the average successes.
She created that environment at NPT. Everyone that shows up can feel it.
And it’s because she doesn’t come off as an untouchable personality.
The information she offers after 10 years of successful online marketing is incredible!
Yet she never gets tired of answering the most basic of questions.
And enjoys doing so with a smile
She never forgot who she was, that’s what makes her a gem.
The proverbial “needle in a haystack” right there, I’m telling you.
Thanks again for the great post Jim.
And for letting people know about the BEST community online!
Cheers!
Brad.
