Michel,

I have mentioned to people in another forum that I also participate in a copywriter's forum, and one person has already asked me for the URL to this forum.

However, I am aware that I gained access to this forum as part of the package with my Copy Doctor subscription, so I was just wondering if this is open to all or should be kept private?

Thanks,
Jane

Jane,

This is a private members forum. Unless Mike himnselfs gives and invite it is a paid access forum through copy-doctor.

Maybe Mike will make this a little clearer if needed.

Absolutely. You can invite others -- as I accept referrals from board members, subscribers and clients.

But you may want to email your invitations rather than posting it online, or post it in a private, niche-oriented or targeted website (targeted, i.e., the audience is defined and targeted).

While the words "private forum" are a little misleading, I use them to let people know this is not a free-for-all forum. That's all. I don't want this forum to become a Blake or Warriors Forum, where bashing goes on, anonymous fraudsters and spammers post ads willy nilly, and "tire-kickers" who are not serious or interested in copywriting come in to suck bandwidth only.

This is not my forum. I sponsor it, but it is for all of us.

Hope this helps.
