Bob. If you want to increase your membership.
Getting to paying memberships from freebies will take some steps.

You don't knock down the amount of freebie posts.
You ramp them up.
It's called stickiness in the marketing arena.

First of all you need to attract them here.

Second they need to have the freedom to post at least 40 posts a day if they want.
Preferably more!
Otherwise they will put up with RB no matter how bad it runs.
I can point you out to posts from stock groups posters that prove that statement!

You need to increase the happy hour times during trading hours frequently.

You follow the above and within 2 to 3 months your membership will increase greatly.

Cut back?

You aren't the only game in town.

I can point to many posts that have suggested other sites for certain stock groups to go to

The freedom to post if they want to post a lot that day matters to these people.

They will put up with bad formats.

Bad customer care.

85% of them will never post a lot anyways.

But to them it's what they were use to that counts.
That stickiness comes into play again!

Get them here.

Show what you have.

Then the conversion to paying membership starts.

Many people once they get a taste of success, ruin future success, by pulling back on marketing.

Being less agressive.

Choice is yours.

You and Matt have built a good site here.

I hate to see what could EXCEL, just be good.
