I wanted to keep things real so I stopped to look around for
some more precious metals buyers. I wanted to start a community. That’s
actually what led me to build this blog. Because I wanted to share things with
other people. I wanted to share secrets and tips and tricks and education that
maybe others didn’t know. It’d be a great learning experience for beginners and
professionals alike. I really wanted to start something like this.
I started a meetup group in my local city but that flopped.
No one even showed up. It was all about learning from each other but I guess no
one wanted to do that. I found better luck in online forums. So I started an online
forum. I wasn’t really sure how to promote it, but I heard eventually that the
best way to build a community is around a specific niche as much as possible.
Investing was way to broad since it encompassed so much. So
I decided to build a forum around the one thing I was currently investing in –
commodities. I started a forum about buying and selling precious metals. And it
actually took off. I get thousands of regular visitors every month and a very
engaged and active community.
It’s one of my most proud accomplishments. I may decide to
share the URL here but this is my personal site and I don’t really want to mix
the two. I don’t really want to reveal who I am on either site to protect my
privacy a little bit.
But maybe I’ll share the forum address here on my next post.
I feel a little more comfortable revealing my identity now that I’ve been
posting on here regularly. Well that’s it for me for now, I need to go buy some
more precious metals. I'ma use my favorite to do this one - Wholesale Direct Metals. Talk soon!
