This includes the statistics all the way from December when we still had 7 day stickies. They get more exposure thus the trader gains more business.

Hope this helps.

I just wanted to tell everyone don't be sceptical if you have never had one order 3 days instead of 1. I definitely will next time and they are worth the price.

We've kept tabs on ALL of the stickies that have been done since the very beginning and the average profit is $1000-$1600. We calculated the increase in amount of trades done during the sticky, estimated a conservative profit margin and that's how we came up with the number. But it's tricky. One person had a weekly sticky and profited only $400 or so while three other people that same week profited over $1200 each. Getting a sticky doesn't mean an automatic profit, it simply means that you have a slight advantage over other users since your trade thread is stickied. It is up to you to take advantage of that advantage.

Get 'em girlie...I'm here rooting for you!

And anyone that hasn't had a sticky...don't be nervous, enjoy. You'll have hits, guaranteed!

Found yet another question and answer that belongs here...

I'm asuming not, but I just hate to assume things, especially regarding anything that could mess with my sticky.

TIA

Yes you can change your thread titles - as long as you do NOT create a NEW thread - as this (new thread) will produce a new url.

How to prepare, that is the question. I've asked some trusted friends and I'm a pretty organized person myself but can one ever really prepare for the first time around?

Hurry and answer, I'm up soon!

Thanks in advance for any help given...

I would suggest that you use as many canned messages as possible to limit the amount of typing you have to do. It makes communication quicker and smoother.
I put mine in WordPad and cut and paste. I hope this helps. Good Luck with your sticky.

[Lesley]

Thank you Verna! I've done that and set up a record system for each referral so I can track who's who and what's what. I have enlisted a fellow trader to handle trainn sites as I just do not go there although I have one in my thread. I also have another Rock Star Trader that I can count on to watch my back if need be.

Bills paid, shopping done...who needs to sleep? I'll sleep when I'm dead!?!

I'm so grateful for this opportunity and all the support that All of you Always offer up no matter what. You just have no idea...

I did this too. And I also had all the links to the sites I was going to use on a Word document....then I just had to copy and paste those too.
Links to any tutorials you suggest to new people or anything you may want to share....just have it all in a Word document...then all you have to do is copy and paste.

Thank you for taking the time to compile all of this wonderful, useful information. Just getting more and more excited for my dates reading all of this!

[Lesley]

I guess that I'm about as prepared as I can be. Now I'm just so excited that I hope I'll be able to sleep!

This is a great post - my sticky dates are coming up the middle of April. I will be making up some canned responses, etc.
