How Can I Help?

"How Can I Help?"

I have been asked this question quite a bit lately from both new and "veteran" members of thr forums. I have to say how much I genuinely apprecaite the offer of help. Although I have responded to some of you individually, here are some things you can do to help out on the site:

Continue to keep the site the very friendly, fun community it has always been

Tell others about the site. How?
- If you post on other message boards, include a link in your signature to DWT.com with a short description of the site
- Mention it on other groups such as RADP, etc.
- Please post in accordance with each site's and group's policies, of course

If you have the book and enjoy it, post a review:
- Amazon.com
- Barnes & Noble.com

Keep older threads active (especially for new members). If you see a thread that may have lost some of its steam, get it going again!

Start new threads and discussions - Don't be afraid (especially our new members) to start up a relevant discussion in one of the forums. If you have any questions beforehand, just let me or a moderator know.

Link to the DisneyWorldTrivia.com Site - If you see or frquent another quality Disney web site and don't see a link to DWT.com in their "Links" page, please let me know.

Write an article for the Mouse M.A.P. section of the site. Clearly you enjoy Disney, or you wouldn't be here, right? Well, feel free to come up with an article, story, trip report, commentary, etc. and email it to me. Sharing your personal stories, experiences, advice, etc. will help bring visitors to the site and allow us to coninue to grow. Love a WDW ride? Write about it! Think you know how to make WDW better? Let us know!

Send me a PM or email with other suggestions you may have. My door is always open, and I personally respond to every email and PM I receive. I am always open to new ideas!

Thanks again to all of you.

Sign up for a Disney VISA using the link at the top of the forums! It's free, and offers great benefits and rates!

Also, clicking on the Google text ads located at the top and bottoms of the forums helps out immensely!

Thanks!!

just have to throw my two cents in, from my previous experience of running a website myself. having a link to the site in your sig is a great way of getting people, but don't spam the site at other sites. by spamming i mean starting a thread with the only purpose being advertising this site. it only upsets the management of the site, as it used to tick me off when people did it on my site, tick people off when i did it on their sites, and i'm sure would tick Lou off if people came here advertising there own site.

this is a great place, everyone is very friendly and cordial, keep that in mind when you are spreading the word at other sites.

Lou, hope i didn't step on your toes.

Do you actually have to buy anything from those links, or does just clicking through send cash your way?

**Lou Mongello** · 03-30-2005, 09:12 AM

Pat,

Simply clicking on the links for certain sponsors (such as the Google ads) helps, while actually making purchases from others (e.g. Laughing Place Store, Disney Ink Shop, etc.) is what generates revenue.

Thanks for your help!

**disneydame2004** · 03-30-2005, 10:02 AM

Well, if you don't see me on for a few hours - I'm clicking links and going shopping

Would a book review of *other* Disney books fit as a MAP or would that go in the movie, tv etc thread?
