First off OP let me just say that's a solid business model you have shared right there and that in theory should work...... but as you stated in your Disclaimer of sorts ..
Statements like that, although very true, can sometimes be perceived as the Author of said post giving himself a bit of wiggle room -lol You know, In case no one earns a penny he can refer to that statement. OF COURSE I'm not saying that is the case here but if I were a betting man I'd bet that statement, whether consciously or Sub- consciously, triggered a few folks to ask for your earnings proof..Made me want to as well, but as I don't put much stock in crap like that unless it's going live in real time into someones account to prove it...and still then, this business has honed some real Houdini's when it comes to stuff like that.
Next.. as it relates to this part..
I can Feel you on the second part about "providing good value"....What I mean is over the long period I've been doing this on various communities I've been a member of I've shared what I think and have been told by those who earned from them, Some pretty decent methods & tutorials and often felt that maybe it should be ok to monetize parts of said method on the community..kinda like you did, or tried to do from what I gather, from your words lol.. But as I went along I realized besides being against the Rules it's kinda an unwritten pact or understanding,That, that's not a cool thing to do for various reasons. Some obvious some maybe not so much to some.....Anyway, as you asked
" WHAT'S THE POINT OF IT ALL IF YOU CANNOT PROFIT FROM IT EVEN AT ALL?"
That's where I got a bit confused cause you clearly stated here that you had profited..
Now, for you to go on and attempt to profit off the community still after having earned a decent amount may lead some to the viewpoint of 2 reasoning's..
A. That you may not have profited as you claim you had and this Thread , minus any actual implementation was actually the Method.
or
B. It could appear as if you were Just being a bit GREEDY !
AGAIN, I'm not stating and I'm sure this isn't the case here, I'm just saying how perception can skew reality a bit sometimes..
Brother, THE POINT OF IT ALL and this may sound corny and I'm no angel all this time I've been doing this, But, as I see it The Point is If this thing of ours has been good to you the Giving back or sharing should be selfless and unselfish, I mean, if you feel a given community has
helped in your growth. Now, Lets not be silly, we all know by showing how skilled we are at what we do they may come a point in time where we have a product or service to offer, as a paid one, well, that kindness we showed in sharing can't hurt how successful we might be at what we are now offering,
You know, within that communities RULES, STANDARDS &/Or Meeting the set Criteria to set up shop. Well then that is just the way business is conducted. Just as if someone who didn't actually give much to a community but was always setting up shop in the marketplace, well, that could be viewed some kinda of way and they might not do as well as someone offering similar services but is known for having shared with the community.. Of course a SUPERIOR Product will kinda supersede some of that sometimes...SOMETIMES?
Which kinda brings us full circle back to your share. Brother, I know you feel and you're right to do so, that you should have been allowed to monitize what you feel is such a valuable share by way of the community... You're suppose to feel like you can determine the value of your product and why someone suggested maybe you could have upgraded and advertised it properly. But as you have acknowledged you may have been a bit out of sorts on this and you seen like a Good Guy..A smart Guy... I just wanted to kinda give my viewpoint on why I think this thing kinda got loose on the railway REAL FAST lol..
But as it is all well Now..All is Good...
Congratulations on The Thread and Earnings
