What You Should Do

Promoting your business on vbulletin.org...
  • Post Helpful Comments - your comments are a direct reflection of who you are. I lot of people are turned off immediately by negative comments.
  • Create / Submit Helpful Articles - this is a great way to show people you have Knowledge - Knowledge is power
  • Create / Submit Great Products - this is the best way to build a clientele and to build your brand - brand is important
Many of the high-paying Buyers and Employers do their research before hiring.
If you lack the above - you are not making as much as you could be making.
Easier said than done. What should be done, is a series of group efforts including the staff at vb.org to help us accomplish these things.

Yes, this is a great site. Yes, vb.org is the ultimate site for programming vbulletin. But now ask yourself this. The same way you said nex can do "better". Do you not see vb.org doing 100x better had they listened to the several requests made? This is all a circle people. You help us, we help you, together we help the overall vb community, everyone's happy. I don't see what's so difficult, seriously.


If it's a matter of 3rd party integrations being suspected for security exploits, i'll be more than happy to send over a copy of any of mine for full inspection. I just don't understand why oppurtunities around here aren't taken. It's the year 2008 and we're still getting the same suggestions as when vb 2.3 was around.

Princeton, you know i'm 100% with your statements, i'm just giving my own taste of the deal... lol

and yes, i may have my own insulting ways to say so -- but as i said "stupid requests", not stupid people... i have a lot of clients that come on my site and say "i know my request is stupid, but could you...??"

most of the guys here know that i'm red blooded and i can even insult them when it is needed... but they also know that we need to stand still in one entity, work together to make things work for the best for the community.

if nobody work to expand the work done here, we're cloaking the possibilities. actually, the work is focussed on the "general custom jobs on vb.org and the official work on vb.com"... but where people go for "professional custom jobs?!" they have to use google, and most of the time they fall on site where the SEO is good but the reputation is unknown. some guys say "go to vb.org and see, i'm a regular user there"... that's their only way to proove they have capabilities...

anyway, i started this thread to talk about losses and gains, not vB reputation... Princeton, you spoiled my thread... ROFL!

Sorry, I thought this was about money.

Anyway.. (last post - directed towards everyone)

If your business focus is on vBulletin programming (in some form or another) than improving your brand should be a priority.

My comments are merely suggestions on what you can do to improve your bottom line (with buyers / employers found on vBulletin.org).

Perception is everything..
the more "positive awareness" exist on your brand the more revenue you WILL bring in

think of it this way, 2 people with similar knowledge come to you to offer their services - the only thing they differ is how they are perceived by others (because of certain actions each have taken)

one is positive in every way possible the other is negative in tone and actions

who would you prefer?

In Ireland, the government admitted we're in a recession last week.
It's only really for the construction sector, as our economy for 10 years was based around housing.

There's huge amounts of unemployment and layoffs, but I.T. is doing okay: we've got the headquarters of Google, Amazon, eBay, Yahoo, and Paypal here, and Facebook just announced they're moving here pretty soon.

We do have ridiculous wages for I.T., though.
I'm 28, an I.T. contractor, and I make $7k USD a month.
Apparently you can get more in Australia now, so a lot of people are moving there

84K$/y is good, i just hope there is no millions of IT in your place... i know that Ireland is a small country, you may have competition, that's why the salary is good...

anyway, in all the countries where recession is possible, the best thing to do now is to consolidate your market or job... not spend all your cash on a new project that may go nowhere...
