I already paid through PayPal, but I used ActiveTrader on http://www.cobrasmarketview.com so it won't let login on the www since I already used ActiveTrader on the bbs. Should I cancel the PayPal subscription and then re-signup?Cobra wrote:You need click signup at www, where there's a PayPal button, you need pay first to lock in $10 a month membership then you'll see register form.ActiveTrader wrote:How do I create a new ID since I already signed up?
I cancelled the recurring PayPal payment. I re-signup and the www site will not let me create a new account. I guess I will wait for Cobras help.ActiveTrader wrote:I already paid through PayPal, but I used ActiveTrader on http://www.cobrasmarketview.com so it won't let login on the www since I already used ActiveTrader on the bbs.

Thanks, cirrus. If you have any good suggestion or simply need to talk to me, you can send me an email at cobra@cobrasmarketview.comcirrus wrote:Cobra,
My $0.02 on ads vs. pay. I've been in the digital media payment/social network business for the past 4 years. As you experienced, ads only pay significantly at very large scale, like >1M uniques per month. For smaller scale but very devoted "fans" if you will, it is much better if you have a paid site, but the critical caveat is that there must be continuous engagement by, in the words of Hollywood, the "talent". In this case, the talent is you. This is why big business has been very slow to embrace social media in a conversational way because of the one to one or one to few (less than a thousand) nature of the conversation. When you get above a thousand or so, you hit a ceiling as you've seen because even if only a small % of the 1,000 people ask questions or start a conversation and expect an answer, it's overwhelming This, of course, quickly overloads the talent, as you're experiencing. Some sites hire ghost writers to pen the writings, like Oprah and many other large social graph celebrities. But I doubt that's your style or strategy.
It's been shown that the predominant digital products/site access services men pay for (not necessarily in order), is financial info, entertainment, health info, a passion (music, guitar playing, sports, etc.) and porn. But financial info is the #1 for men, above all else. Not porn as there's too much free of that...
I know there are a few non-men here, including women, black swans, bulls, bears and Martians, so I'm speaking in broad terms.
So I think for what you are and your size you are doing the right thing. I'm happy to exchange private messages, but I thought I'd reply in the open as the topic was started in the open.
You can have exactly the same ActiveTrader ID on www and bbs. No conflict. Too bad, you cancelled your ActiveTrader on www. Now it's a little complicated. You have to create another ID on www now.ActiveTrader wrote:I already paid through PayPal, but I used ActiveTrader on http://www.cobrasmarketview.com so it won't let login on the www since I already used ActiveTrader on the bbs.

I would love to talk about this as well. I believe that I am successful using social media getting regular traffic from places like Indonesia, India, all across Europe, Chile and Singapore after being up for just over a month but feel that I can do better.cirrus wrote:Cobra,
