I’d be interested in knowing what you think now.

Personally, I have limited time and finding that for the ROI other things work better.

Hey Lynn did you post anywhere in tribes about how it went with Darren?

Also here is the mind blower about Tribes for me. Not jut the names of people who’s blogs I read often. But some of the most viral threads become the most educational. That email list strategies and giveaway items and the one where Dave Navarro shared his ebooks for free was a selling point for me. Or the guy who sold his first ebook for 1000 in 72 hours. I am ridiculously cautious about what I promote. I believe you should enforce what you endorse.

So far so great. Whether it is short term or long term one thing I think we can all agree on is that time tells all tales.

The Third Tribe sound a bit like Chamber of commerce that can be found in every city. They also act as a middle man. TT is ofcource more specific on one area.

Linda,

Great post and great concept. I am glad that someone is willing to step into the middle and be a bridge builder…

@bill- Hilarious, and probably accurate!

LOL – Bill. “We are the evolution of perfection!”
Personally, I find the Third Tribe idealogy appealing, as I’ve been schooled in hype which does not fit my already hyper personality! My
whole “brand” is built on my real personality, so I’d probably benefit
a lot by learning from people who are succeeding by being themselves.

So…

Tribe 1 = dirty marketers making money.
Tribe 2 = ethical bloggers going broke.
Tribe 3 = ethical bloggers making money AND dirty marketers going broke?

Sounds a little too neat and tidy to me…

Hi Matthew,

This is my personal review of Third Tribe, after joining and having a look around. I find it of value to me personally, and very much so relative to the low investment to join.

The most valuable aspect of 3T for me personally is the section of the community for niche discussions. This makes it very easy to work directly with niche bloggers – to find interview opps, guest bloggers, link partners, discuss affiliate programs and other things in our niche, etc.

With a community like this, every person will get something different out of it. The various elements will hold different value for each of us. It sounds like you are more interested in whether they (the community leaders) will work with you personally where I find the niche forums particularly helpful.

I appreciate your response and request, but I think on this one… time will tell, and personal preference (along with objectives, among other things) will play a big role in your take on Third Tribe.

What kind of stats are you interested in, Dan? Income level (w/online business, specifically) I assume, what else?

Interesting, Lain. I’m on very few lists and am filtering most of them out lately as I’ve been focusing on specific projects, but I see where it could be confusing. It’s definitely important to choose the communities and opportunities that benefit you the most.

If you are unsure, the best place to start is by defining your current objectives. That way you don’t get distracted or derailed, and the opps you choose will actually help you reach your immediate goals.

The process is the same – you analyze the backlinks. For any questions, anytime, feel free to use my free discussion forum too

In any of these (forums/blog comments) you get back in relation to what you put in.
I don’t see how I can’t get $600 of value, not to mention actual cash from business generated, if I stay active.

Any forum, paid or free has the filter problem.
I especially dislike threads that are stated with ambiguous or desperate sounding title and finding the “meat” can be a challenge.
That said, the founders are all actively participating at this time, offering a proven level of expertise. I think that’s worth something and I use that to help filter.

And I think paid does say commitment and helps the founders stay motivated.
My 2c.

PS There’s monthly instructional content too

Hi Lynn, I agree with several of the posts above… there are just
so many forums onw has time for, but do have strong feelings about
the concept of a third tribe. I am right there with the tribe of
bloggers caught between the pleasure of sharing information and being
cool about making money, so I joined the first day!

It feels like a comfortable place to be so far!
