Mmmmmmmhmmmmm!

I am looking for someone to help mentor me through my first forum (it is still in progress). I have a sufficient budget, nothing ridiculous (respective to my user group). I am looking for someone who can offer me mentorship in return for exposure, and a cut of the revenue if your methods are proven true...

The forum will be about Chess - so my initial thought is to monetize through affiliate marketing, e-commerce store (drop shipping), and advertising. I am looking for individuals who are strong and experienced in those groups.

I am a quick learner, an ambitious businessman, and an overall nice guy. So if you're looking to pick up an apprentice, and perhaps some extra exposure and revenue, please PM me.

I do own ForumShock - so I do have some possibilities in using services which are already within my network...

(sorry, I didn't know where else to post this).

Thanks guys.

Yea, I plan on using this forum to help me run my own...just thought it'd be nicer to have the 1 on 1 thing with someone.

Hey Bryan, I'd be interested to chat with you about this. I had killer plans drawn up to do a chess forum, already have a domain well placed in the search engines on the topic, just one of the many projects I never started up.

I've got a few domains as well .

I've sent you a PM.

Bryan, keep us updated. Would be interesting to see how you go.

Of course I will

Nice idea for a forum. - Visit Admin Fusion for forum help as well.

Definitely check out Patrick O'Keefe's blog and podcast. He's been a great friend for a long time and he definitely knows about running communities - he's got some big ones!

Which makes me wonder why he hasn't stumbled upon EF... hrmmm... (runs away to IM Patrick)
