Major New Developments
I have given this a lot of thought over the last 24 hours, and I’ve decided to end my radio show. It may come as a surprise to a lot of you readers and fans of the first pilot episode, but the reason for my decisions is because I have been lagging on producing episodes, and I feel as if I’ve failed any fans of the show or potential listeners. I know the idea is awesome, and it would do wonders for the blog if I would continue it, but honestly, it takes up too much time from my day, and I’m just not ready to devote so much time for one thing. Although it was a really fun experience until now, I would much rather put my focus on two major projects for webmasters. The blog, and the new forum.
Which leads me to the 2nd major development. Wickedfire.com launched yesterday, and although I wasn’t expecting too many people to join it and even post much it totally exceeded every expectation I had. I am happy to report that within the first 24 hours of launching we had over 100 new users join, over 2,000 posts, and over 100 new threads. I’m in complete shock too. I had no idea how active a forum could be, or overactive even. I really didn’t think there were that many webmasters out there who wanted to just hang out and shoot the shit with one another, but I guess now that there is an outlet for you guys and girls to just kick back and have some fun during your day that it’s a good thing already.
I’ve decided to setup a few contests that will reward winners with custom made sites made by my team of developers. All of the sites awarded will be overseen by me, personally. The winners will also be required to sign an agreement contract and an NDA, but, they are getting themselves some awesome new niche built sites specifically for them and no one else. These are the exact sites I have been making for the last few months. Although traffic is something they’ll have to bring on for themselves, I can assure you that the ease of use of these sites have no comparison to anything else around. I can sell them if I want, but where’s the fun in that?
WickedFire will also have an apparel line which will not be for sale. The only way to get your hands on them is to win a contest or be awarded them. I am lucky enough to have a family member who owns an apparel manufacturing business, so I can get really great quality items at very cheap rates. Lucky me! But seriously, I think it would be cool if people wore them at conferences and industry parties. I’m also going to launch a ladies line for any of the females out there who want them, because there are so few of you, there will be a unique design to them so you can feel cooler than the guys.
That’s it for now, gotta get back to the forum to keep tabs on everything for the time being, or until I start adding mods. If you have a lot of forum experience, you can shoot me an email with your forum track record to be considered for a mod position. Most mods will be via invite only, and mod powers are very limited so that we can keep a very “freedom” oriented forum concept alive. Only those who truly piss people off will be banned or punished. Almost everything is fair game on there too, which I think is cool.
I’ll be launching the premium section of the forum in the future, maybe a month or two from now, after we hit 1,000 members. I think without the focus of the radio show I can direct a lot more focus on what the premium forum section will be like. I have a ton of great ideas to really help people out. Some of them include a guarantee that every user on there will make at least $1,000 within the month. I don’t care who you are, or how stupid you are, or how little amount of money you have at your disposal. I will make sure and be there for support to prove that you can do it. This is the ultimate ebook killer too. Because they are always making false claims about their proven systems and all that bullshit, with no real support, well, that’s all about to change. So look out for it.
Again, thank you to everyone who has joined the forum. It’s extremely active, and there is a very minimal delay from posting something to getting a response back. Even the big forums don’t have that! Also, the forum is on it’s own dedicated box, so it’s very fast and can handle a truly shitload of users at any given time, and if things do start slowing down, I’ll add another box for load balancing. Keeping everything super fast is a big priority of mine for this.
That’s all for now.. keep pluggin’ away boys and girls.

Congrats on the forum. It has very professional look and feel!
I have significant blackhat experience and look forward to sharing fresh ideas and innovative tactics for gaming the SEs. It should be fun.

By ease of use of the sites, do you mean thery have a custom content management system?
Was looking forward to the radio program. The forum at wickedfir.com is great.
It’s disappointing but I still think you should do those 3 shows. It doesn’t need to be on a schedule, but whenever you get a chance I still think you should do them.

Im looking forward to it.
Why don’t you include the radio show as part of the premium section?
Jon,
I can’t wait for the Premium Section.
This will put to the End of those Crappy Internet Marketing Ebooks.
