There seems to be a need for a comprehensive list of resources for community managers. I created a list on my Resources tab here on my blog but people aren’t finding it (and it’s getting out of date).
So I have created a wiki & invite all of you to contribute your favorite resources. Let’s build it together! I think that it will be easier to find things in that format than here on my blog.
Log in with your email address & the key (password) is ‘build’
Please let me know if you think that there is a more logical structure. It’s your Wiki so join in.
Awesome! Thanks, Connie. Heading over to check it out now.
Brilliant idea Connie! This is exactly the sort of thing I was asking for on my blog a few weeks ago. It’s a good thing Dave Barger linked me to you so that I could catch this right as it was released.
I’ve shared a link to this article on my blog so hopefully I can do my part to expand this community.
Thanks!
Hi Connie, I added an entry about SM2 and Techrigy. I hope this takes off!
We’ve got one over at communitymanagementwiki.com too. We do regular meetups in the bay area too. Would love to have your input! :)
[…] community building expert Connie Bensen has launched a much-needed new resource this week: The ‘Community Manager Resources’ Wiki. This new tool should be a great addition to the resource list started here earlier this month with […]
Bill Bartmann says Make Good Money Buying Bad Debts
Bill Bartmann is the author of Bailout Riches, a book to provide investors with the right roadmap to spectacular profits. The book lays out a step by step plan on finding deals from the federal government, local financial institutions and loan brokers. The defaulted loan types include credit card debt, consumer loans, business loans, commercial loans and real estate loans and mortgages.
Billions of taxpayer dollars are being used to buy bad debts from banks to keep them solvent as borrowers default on their loans. These debts are being sold for pennies on the dollar to anyone willing to buy them; however, they are not necessarily worthless investments.
For example, you by a $5,000 bad loan for $250.00. Next, you approach the borrower in default and offer them a chance to settle the debt for $500. If they agree, you just made a one hundred percent profit on your investment. This is a win-win-win situation; the bad loan is off the bank’s books, the borrower is out of debt and you made a profit.
Bill Bartmann made his fortune buying bad debts. In his book, he shows how you can make yours too. You may wonder why Bartmann would share something like this with the world. The reason is simple; there’s plenty to go around. In the next year or two around $1 trillion of debt will be written down and sold cheap.
Bill Bartmann is the author of Bailout Riches! and the creator of America’s largest debt-buying and debt-collection company. Bill Bartmann has been listed among Forbes Magazine’s 400 wealthiest Americans and has twice been named National Entrepreneur of the Year by USA Today, NASDAQ, Inc Magazine, Ernst & Young and the Kauffman Foundation.
