Let's get straight to it.
This year, we'll be conducting an official 2008 WickedFire Case Study. The goal of this is to get 15 newbies here at WickedFire on the right track and earning some money. Those of you who wish to participate will need to reply here in this thread with the following requirements. You must have:
A domain name that you will use for the case study:A hosting account: An Adsense/Yahoo Publisher Network Account and/or
An Ad Network Campaign for your niche (Copeac, Neverblue Ads, etc). Preferred, but optional
Commitment
Those are the things that you must have ready before replying that you wish to participate. It is preferred that you have $100 - $150 per month to spend on your campaigns for this case study. The goal here will be to teach you how to make money, so it shouldn't be a problem earning it back.
You have one week to reply in this thread stating that you wish to participate. It is not guaranteed that everyone who asks will be accepted. We will be judging based on your behavior here on the forum and whatever else we have seen of your work ethic. If you are not well known here, feel free to say why you think you should be allowed into the case study. The current set limit is at 15. That means that we will be accepting 15 committed newbies to join in, and after that, doors are closed, until further notice. If you are not accepted, do not feel bad about it. There are plenty of threads here on the public forum that you can learn from. Continue to read and apply, and you'll still be light years ahead of plenty of the other newbies across the internet.
To clear uncertainty, this case study will take place in a private section of the forum. After 15 committed members have been notified of, and accepted, their acceptance, they will be invited to join, and we will carry out our sessions. You can expect to see myself, SEO_Mike, GeekCognito, MKrongel, MyOwnDemon, AdJumpCM, and Aequitas guiding you along (among other moderators and guides who will be joining) with this. With that said, get prepared and get in. If you have questions concerning this pre-case study, please ask here.
