Being myself a theoretical expert in meditation and samadhi (have published several books on the topic), I do not anymore ask myself as to why people prefer to listen to, and become disciples of a uneducated lad who clearly states: "I have reached samadhi," or "I am a fully realized Guru."
Credibility, alas, is a matter of declared practical achievements, not of theoretical investigation.
In any case, online success is a whore. It goes with the money.
I totally agree with you Imago. No harm, no foul. I try hard to keep my articles ethical and to provide current and factual information. I may have taken it a bit more personal than I should have, but my honor and credibility is important to me. If I can't convince people that I know what I'm talking about, I can't help people better themselves by helping them create their own productive web sites.
Yes, I do get paid for creating web sites for people, and have done quite a few. The article idea was to give those wanting to do the work themselves a practical tool to help them accomplish things.
I wanted to accomplish three things. First, I wanted to provide a text for those who want to do the work themselves. Secondly, I wanted to provide knowledge so that those looking for a designer could filter those designers to find the one that does top notch work. By reading my article, they will learn the prime requirements for designing a web site that makes them money. Third, I wanted to be a potential for those looking for design.
For those reading my articles that want someone else to do the work, then I become a possibility, but in the end, after reading my articles, people know what is needed to create a productive web site. At that point, they can then ask potential designers questions that will ensure their site is designed to create them wealth instead of designed to sit there looking pretty. There is a difference between functional and profitable, ethical and unethical, but I am sure you understand what I'm getting at.
i got 2 ears and eyes for a reason and only one mouth listening to the experts(i know none of you proclaim to be), as i would like to learn more and i get notified on new posts. Plus i would luv to learn php and programing to a developer level so i could help, its very rewarding.
