Still Having Trouble Logging Into DigitalPoint? Here’s How I Log In
In one of my previous posts, I talked about the frustration of not being able to login to digital point. I think I have the answer for you this time. If you can’t seem to login to digitalpoint, try clicking remember me the next time you enter your screen name and password. This has worked for me every time and no I have no problems logging in to my account.
Can’t Login to DigitalPoint Forums
If you’re having trouble logging into DigitalPoint, you’re not alone. 90% of the time I login – when my password and user name are accepted – I am logged back out. I’m sure this happens to other people. The reason DigitalPoint does this is to add another measure to prevent spam from ravaging the forums.
The remedy is to keep logging back in. It may take you 6 or my tries, but eventually one will stick. If that doesn’t work, try to PM another user by clicking on their username or selecting send a private message in their user overview area. This sometimes works for me.
Digitalpoint is the mecca of the online marketplace as it has so many members available to buy, trade, and exchange links, services, domains, ideas, and information. The unfortunate part is ownership is overwhelmed by the number of users and does not attempt to bring a good environment like that of WarriorForum.com. WarriorForum is quite a bit smaller, but has a very good atmosphere and great tips available. They’ve even built an online marketplace now.
How To Make Money Off a Forum
Forums typically generate some of the best return visitors ratios and when cultivated ultimately generate a tremendous amount of page views. However, many webmasters have trouble earning reciprocal revenue from their forum. The obvious solution is to advertise, but simply advertising alone will not create enough money. Maximize your message board into a money forum by adding adsense into the equation. When you do this, make sure to change the format every one to two months so you’re members don’t become trained to immediately ignore the tailored PPC links. Another way to make money is to showcase product features and charge an affiliate rate. Often times, your own members may be supplying these products. WarriorForum.com is successful at this. In this scenario, you have the community involved and there is less emphasis on “selling” a product.
A creative ideas from NamePros.com was selling their forum skin to Rick Lotana. This undoubtedly received paramount attention and at the same time generated more money than casual advertising. Another idea is charging for membership of a forum. This is a controversial technique, but with a year long renewal rate at just $5, you will constantly make passive income from your forum if you have the requisite members. If you would like to keep your forum free, you can implement a hybrid to this idea and charge only for a special, members only board while keeping the rest of the forum free.
Common Denominator In Successful Blogs
If you want to become a top blog like TechCrunch, ProBlogger, or PerezHilton keep in mind what each have in common: they all constantly update their blog – daily at a minimum. This keeps people coming back for each new story you have in store. Focus on one topic and become an expert on that. Some will disagree with that notion and have even shown exceptions in making money blogging otherwise but in general, the most successful blogs will stay on topic.
