Hi Guys,
First thing I want to say is if you got a ‘support ticket opened’ email today….. Sorry. In the interest of trying to be more efficient I implemented a email support ticket system. Due to a slight error it grabbed all the emails I got over the past year and turned them into support tickets sending out a ticket number. Oops, that was a major screw-up!
Anyway on to my point.
Guys I have to come clean. I am a workaholic entrepreneur who constantly puts more on his plate than he can handle. This is particularly bad when I have no time management skills to speak of.
Anyway the point is I promised the latest e-Book 2 months ago and it didn’t arrive until last week. I promised video course updates two weeks ago but due to a huge coding disaster they have not yet been fully uploaded. I promised the education section would be complete months ago but it has pretty much come to a standstill. Why does this happen? Well because this is mostly a one man show. Sure the bloggers make their posts and contribute to Forex4Noobs ( and I am immensely grateful to Fetor, Metalhawk and Gus for that) but the guy behind the scenes doing all the site management is always me. I take care of everything:
- Responding to emails.
- Coding and fixing site errors.
- Adding content to the Education section.
- Posting on the blog.
- Creating other content.
- Image and illustration editing (making those Ninjas look good is HARD work).
- Creating new site pages/blogs.
What started off a small passion project website has grown into a day to day 7am-11pm job. To top it all off the site is still growing! In the 2.5 years this site has been opened it has grown from a tiny site that nobody knew about to a major name in the Forex education world. The thing is guys I just cannot keep up anymore, it is too much work for me and it is taking away from more important stuff like my writing content and my own trading.
So I am humbly asking for some volunteers who can contribute a few hours a week to do some basic stuff. I know it is a lot to ask because I am sure you have your own stuff to deal with. However, I have to ask. If I can get some people to help out with the general stuff then I can get back to doing what I do best, helping newbies becomes pro traders. For this I need around about 5 volunteers who can help with:
- Answering support emails – I have implemented a ticket system which will make this job easy.
- Coding – Some Javascript, html, php and SQL skills would be perfect.
- Proof reading and site checking – I need some people to run through every page of the site and tell me any display, bad link, spelling issues.
- Creativity and Illustrations – If you have an artist inside you and can use Adobe illustrator I am in desperate need of your skills.
- SEO & Usability – If your a SEO & Usability guru Forex4Noobs needs your help.
This is purely a volunteer type deal. Forex4Noobs cannot pay for this work at the moment. However if you do help out and you have good skills I will more likely than not hire you in future. I just need to stabilize Forex4Noobs before I take on any employees.
The site is growing to fast and I hate asking for help guys but Forex4Noobs needs it badly. I really do not want the last 2.5 years of my life to go to waste. So please, If you have even 2 hours a week free and you believe in Forex4Noobs and what it is trying to accomplish leave a comment below confirming your willingness to help. I will get back to you and give you the details.
Regards,
Nick
P.S. I hate asking for help!
