Seem like pretty fair rules to me. Especially given that this site is FREE!

I do appreciate the latitude you give guys like me.

I should say that I'm just trying to get more folks into more fish.
I was trying to add some validity to T.H.E. jig by showing what it can do.
Not using a minnow befuddles alot of folks and to down size is the ticket on tough days.
I am sorry for getting mad and after thinking more on it I was out of line.
I have sold 1 guy from this site 21 jigs.That is all.
I'd be willing to pay you for the bandwidth I've used.
Name the price.
I am sincere in telling you that I am about teaching.
I've had several men tell me that I have changed their lives ,but it is appearant that my info is not wanted or needed.
I was asked to keep posting pics & video.I did that ,but it seems I went over the top & again it was not meant to shove it down anyone throat ,but it looks as that is how it's being percieved.
I'll stop talking about T.H.E. Jig & posting every slab I get.
I most certainly do not want to make anyone mad.

If you want to attract people here at crappie.com I suggest you read some of the post by some of the other guys that make tackle and promote it here. We aren't looking for more TV infomercials. Post pics of your products and links to your site and if they are good products I guarantee people are going to show interest in it. Try giving some away to the anglers here that will use your product and them report on what they experienced, or have a giveaway contest.

If you want to attract peoples attention I'd also suggest altering your tone a bit. Frankly, your coming across as a bit desperate, and being in sales myself I know that you will only chase people away that way. I'd suggest checking out Crappieday's posts for a good example of how to get on the good side of people here. He does a great job.

One of the cool things I like about this site is the exposure to new tackle. If your product is unique and catches fish people here will buy it, but we will also toss you in the dumpster in a heartbeat if you spam us or have a bad/defensive attitude.

Don't give up, just tone it down some.

You have a really well designed site. I'd suggest displaying your products a little larger and make the varieties easier to see without going to ebay.

I appreciate your words of wisdom.
I guess I am so darned excited I went over the top.
I'm done with the pitches.
I'll not post any more testimonials.
I think everyone gets the jist.

If anyone wants to try 1 I'd send them 1 up to a reasonalble amount of requests.
It seems most of your users are fro m down south or a lot more south than we are here in upper Mn.
I think the bigger jigs work well there,but not up here.
I guess I do not have much expierence fishing those waters that do not see ice.
If I can be of help to anyone ,I'm here willing to advise on a different technique which is a spring and verticle lifting without meat.

Thanks again for the advice & I am listening.Always!

wow, this all sound to much like what happened to me a year or so ago, when I tried to help a friend out on another site, well 2 sites. And it was totally the wrong way to go in posting tons of pictures and web links. If we all tried to cramm it down someones throat it was get stuck and thrown right back up. take it slow, post a few pictures, give a few samples out, get the word out there and let the guys show there catches, etc. If your market base comes from only you the maker and some close local friends. It's not going to make it far. Get your product out there in different locations and from what I see, let your product and fish show the way. :D

Fish On!

[crappiekeith]

Like I said I apologise and those posts can be deleted if it would help.
I do have users in N.Y.,MD.,Ia,N.C.,Wi.,N.D.,Mi. and here in Mn.

I am so excited to be finally out there that I was over the top & that will not happen.
I'm learning & I thank you for being patient with me.
I can use all the help available.
Thank you.
