lol.
That's pretty funny.

I dont know what to say to respon that PM from someone to Tissa. Its really not good. By sending PM to Tissa like that, Tissa will be easier to decide that He / She will be a SS or not.

But, according to me, I think he/she has a finance problem. Actually I can feel that he/she has a big willing to get success with APS but not have more fund. I hope He/She can be patience and keep going to try and try...

Please Tissa, give my warm regard to that strange man/woman.

Thanks

I aaaa.... ... don't know what to say.

Maybe he/she doesn't realize that there's more to being a Super Sponsor than just the money and the title. I respect all Super Sponsors because I know they just don't simply turn Super Sponsors.

Unfortunately, it is all too evident who wrote this pm, Tissa & Gary. Wanting something bad is one thing, and a good thing at that, for it shows determination. However, his tactics and panick all this week, wondering if he should quickly join WA , etc., just to be sure that he had all his bases covered........we could almost see this coming.

tsk tsk. You were told that this was based on merit, and it shows when someone is really trying to help, and not force his way into a postition that he obviously has not earned, for a SUPER SPONSOR does all these helpful things, because it feels good to pass it forward. To be kind and friendly, and to courteously answer newbies questions. Paying attention, I hope, even with language barriers exactly what type of help to offer. And staying consistant.

There is a big difference between desperation and determination. The quicker you learn, the further you you will go
Go Placidly among the noise and haste, dear friend, for your approach has just turned folks right off

When I saw the heading for the post from Tissa, I got really curious. Now, I see the answer!

Srinath

There is no reason why Tissa has to send us money to be Super Sponsors. That's just his generous way of thanking us for working hard. If there was no Super Sponsor payments, I know of most of the current Super Sponsor who would happily carry on helping everyone who needed help anyway.

So anyways, thanks Tissa for your generosity.

To quote a famous non-guru:

Having quoted that, I will go further to state that when it comes to selecting super sponsors, Tissa is not unfair.  If anything he is lenient. 

I count myself fortunate that I have been able to qualify for super-sponsor every month since the qualifying program started.  I have seen others post "advice" on how to become a super sponsor, so now I will tell you exactly what I have done -- or rather what I have not done.

I have not once been concerned whether I had posted frequently enough.
I have not once entered the forum with the intent of making a couple more posts "just to be sure" that I had made enough to hit the 'minimum.'
I have not been the least bit concerned about the "helpful or not" post ratings points system.
I have not said or done anything that I wouldn't have said or done even if the super sponsor program didn't exist.
I have not worried about being original or relevant - because I speak my own mind and I do it quite plainly.  No one but me can do that.

So my advice to the kept-anonymous affiliate and to anyone else who may be interested in becoming a super sponsor is this:

Regarding the 30 post minimum
A post counting sponsor is the equivalent of a clock-watching employee.  If you're counting, then you're not present in the task.  Your head is not in the game.

Regarding original and relevant
Recycling any material whether originally made by you or someone else does not fall into original nor relevant.  There is of course the need to repeat yourself in the forum - after all questions here are repeated.  But don't recycle.  It reduces your relevance and it certainly isn't original.

Regarding helpful
Don't be concerned with scoring a +1 point.  In other words, be concerned with telling people what they need to hear, not what they want to hear.

Regarding Tissa's judgment
Be yourself.  Trying to be a super sponsor is the fastest way to fail at it.  But being yourself is the quickest way to succeed.  Don't model yourself after any other super sponsor thinking that will help you become one.  Remember: original and relevant.  Being 'like' someone else means you aren't being yourself.  (Besides, it's super sponsor, not super shadow).

When we read the replies, we can all tell who's being genuine and who's being false or not really interested in the success of the other members so much as they are just trying to qualify for super sponsor.  Don't you think then, that Tissa also is capable of judging the difference between intending / trying to be helpful in response to someone's need vs just trying to be a super sponsor in response to our own need?

I've said it before:  Super sponsor status should not be a goal.  It's simply a nice recognition / reward / milestone on the way to the real goal of helping / trying to help others succeed in their business.

Hi Forum

I get enjoyment on helping others... I don't do it just because of the monthly reimbursements, I do it because in the long haul it is helping myself... I think it is VERY generous of Tissa to have a reimbursement pay for those who makes SS. If I make SS each month I look at it as an honor.. not anything more.. As a SS, I learn something new every week which may not be a big deal to others..

Regards

Mary, that was on fire.

I agree that most people would be doing this even if there was no Super Sponsor. Myself, I'm just a forum junkie.

Well said. That is the problem of a lot of them.
I want to give an advise for those who are thinking like the anonymous guy/girl.
If you want to become a super sponsor so badly because you want Tissa to cover your monthly memberships, do this:
- Be a free member of your APS and promote your search engine to collect referrals. The money will be kept on your payable account. Then, when you have $10 to pay GDI for the named month, do it and update your email address as it requires on APS to get paid.
- Try to teach your referrals from APS sending them a letter explaining them what to do to succeed with this program and GDI along.
Once you starting realizing that whatever you say to them, they thank you because they are solving their problem, then you are ready to teach anyone from this forum with love, passion and patience.
LASTLY  Tissa will see what you are doing and...... you will be a super sponsor.
Acting the way you did, you just lost Tissa's confidence.
I hope that anyone who had the same ideas, please learn from this mistake.

Well, that sounds real funny. Sort of pressure-tactics. Awarding SS status is purely Tissa's lookout and he is meritorious to do so. But for some to PM him and vociferously stressing that he/she be accosted SS title is way too much. Just because Tissa is generous doesn't necessarily mean he can be put in a tight corner and blackmailed to.

I for one is pressured for time, actually time-starved and long to have more of it so that I can linger around here in the APS forum. This is such a lovely place, learning, expanding, helping, getting help, etc.

Long live APS! God bless.

Another case of QUALITY against QUANTITY.  If it has more letters it doesn't mean it is better.

Being a Super Sponsor has its perks.  But one should focus on the task itself and not on the number of posts.  If I am correct, if you will be just one post shy of the mark and Tissa can see that you are very helpful, I think Tissa will give you a go.  But he can also tell otherwise if you have 100 non-helpful posts.

Questioning if Tissa is fair?  Nobody should question this, unless you are contributory to the benefits he is giving the Super Sponsors.

Heads up guys!!!

"Questioning if Tissa is fair?  Nobody should question this, unless you are contributory to the benefits he is giving the Super Sponsors."

Ummmmmm.......Isn't it an inner contridiction ?
Saying Nobody should question Tiss'a Fairness, on 1 hand, and on the other -"Unless you are"... ??? Soooo ?? You just go back to Square 1, friend, don't you ? It comes up from your words, that ONLY IF Tissa thinks you're worthy as being a SS, THEN you may question his Fairness ? Or what ?
Sorry, was just wondering, as I was quite confused with your reply ...

Orly

Aaaaaa.....:o  im rly surprised someone "demanded" to be an SS in that manner. I personally feel though, it is ok to drop a message to ask Tissa to maybe review him but not  in this manner..

Well it does seem to be that way, but really being an SS is a really good way to start of especially if your a beginner or say a student with not that much money(like myself:P). Some of my uplines even specifically told me to learn to use this forum more to improve myself and to contribute. Frankly im learning alot more spending time here in this forum learning to learn and to help others.

AND

For those of you who says that they should help without expecting to be promoted to be SS.. kudos to you guys!;) BUT it will be hard i think to sincerely help without expecting or trying to be SS, because the benefits of being an SS is just too hard to resist.. but the question is .. is it wrong to help with the intention of becoming an SS?
My personal opinion is.... of course not!.. I feel that as long as you still help people and be a good contributor to this forum(with or without the intention of becoming an SS), your still achieving Tissa's objective of promoting a healthy helpful support forum and that I believe is the main reason why  the SS promotion was evn created by Tissa.

cheers!
