Great spirit to have :thumbs:
But you will be surprised. If i may use Rennzport as an example...most of rennzport sales are made off the forum...mainly from non fanatics members....if you asked them where they heard of Rennzport...they say they read about the company and products ON the forum. Sure there are sales from participating forum members but those are small compared to the outside online community.
An online bussiness requires a different strategy and if you can figure out how to "exploit or mine" online traffic cleverly, then you in bussiness and fanatics provides the platform...just my experience so far. :thumbs:
