Thinking Of Keeping This to Ourselves It’s That Good!
Welcome to the beginning of hopefully a wonderful weekend for everyone!
I’ve had a small file of things to blog about going for the past several days, but always find there is one more thing to do before I can get to doing what I love to do… write!
But, there is a lull in the storm, so I’m picking something that I should have blogged about a long time ago. However, if truth be told, I’ve been greedy and keeping it to myself LOL!
Firestorm Forum (see the nifty banner to your right?) is almost brand spankin’ new (only a few weeks old) and already has all the hallmarks of being THE forum for bloggers.
It’s inception is a stroke of brilliance on its creators part, they have been, and continue to be, amazing individuals!
Here’s a forum where you GET THE JOB DONE. Sure you can shoot the breeze, there are sections for that, but there are also a plethora of individual areas perfectly designed for marketing your links.
No messing around, things are clear cut, monitored, with a dash of the honor system thrown in here and there. The wonder is that people ARE being honest and following directions.
In the Marketing section alone, there are more than a dozen ways to participate. People help you as you help them. And, many of the “ways” (I’m being cagey on purpose, you’ll have to discover Firestorm yourself for the meat), have multiple branch offs - so you can easily kill many birds with one stone (where did that phrase come from anyway?), have fun, build links and more - super fast.
Of course, there is our personal favorite (okay I have several), but let’s just say that COMMENTING plays a huge roll in one of the subsections. And, you actually ENJOY using it!
Oh, and by the way, the original post about Firestorm can be found here.
It’s been a long, long week packed full of helping others blog and advertise, so I’m gonna call it a night.
In fact, my night isn’t over just yet. The neighbor kid needs a ride, with his buddies, to the movies (even though my son isn’t going this time). I’m a sucker, go ahead and say it

(Want to know something personal? You make my day when you leave a comment! So please do take a few seconds and have your say - it’s a great free marketing tool at the very least!)

@Ryan lol! Turns out though that if you dig a bit we have discussed Firestorm before. Not sure what eight ball, but if it has a feather bed attached, I’m there LOL!

FireStorm definitely works! And more members would make it even better…

@Firestorm - not just “like” it goes beyond that. I’m a member of just a few forums since most get to either trying to plug stuff to each other or bickering among themselves. I love the way you’ve set this one up to get some real marketing and advertising done!
@LucyVet - Agreed! And, by the way, I really enjoy your site!
@Breezie - you all work really hard to make this forum a winner! Staying on track can be difficult, but having a system in place first will turn out to be the key (and gold!).

haha!! I had the same mixed feeling about blogging about FireStorm too
July 27th, 2008 at 7:20 am
@JMom - mixed feeling? I don’t understand.
I’m hoping you can tell I’m a huge FAN by this post LOL! If not, something went seriously wrong

I am impressed with the working of FireStorm,its very useful to me.

I’m glad you didn’t decide to keep this goodie all to yourself. Firestorm could really benefit from having more participants, since the more people are on it, the better it works. And I hope they get more exposure from your blog.

Diane,
I just wanted to let you know that I joined Firestorm because of you. Thank you. Seems like it may be part of the “wave of the future”! Thanks again for sharing!- Your friend, Nards

@online - we love it, too!
@Anna - agreed! As it grows that just means more and more great ways for all of us to marketing and help each other!
@Nards - There you are! I’d put out a manhunt for you (okay woman hunt) so it’s so good to hear from you! I’ll look for you inside Firestorm!
