Question for group
 
I've been resisting starting another discussion board for my newsletter because of all the work involved..I'm already involved in several.

However I love unusual and odd businesses and as the recent posts here show it can generate some interesting discussions.

Question-Would a board that only discusses odd an unusual money making businesses be of interest?

My biggest concern along with the work envolved, is the I don't want to attract people wanting to talk about their favorite MLM or a big controversey if MLM is legit, promoting their favorite chain letter, is the Joe Blow money making opportunity real? etc. whiners and complainers etc.

Those people show up on any board, but with a topic like mine I have nightmares of having to delete tons of post every day.

Maybe I could make it a board for subscribers only? Or resort to that only if I have problems.

Your input please?

Thanks

Ron

I personally think It's a great idea - but . . . .

I think you also have a very valid point with regards to the problems you mentioned. You may have to resort to a "subscribers only" forum. In any event, I think this idea would make for a very interesting discussion board.

Continued Success!

Re: Like minded thinkers
 
Hi Gary,

Yep, it would be much less hassle making it for subscribers only...that should keep the problem people away.

Might be fun to if people would come and brainstorm about the latest things they read in the newsletter.

Gary the interview we did together will be in the next issue. It should be great!
