HELP ME CREATE CONTENT THAT ACTUALLY ANSWERS COMMON IL QUESTIONS
ATTENTION ALL MEMBERS of the BP CHICAGO METRO AREA:
I WANT TO PROVIDE IL SPECIFIC CONTENT IN ONE EASY TO FIND PLACE & I NEED YOUR HELP TO DO IT. IF YOU ARE TRULY INTERESTED IN RAISING THE QUALITY OF THIS SITE AND YOUR INDIVIDUAL COMPETENCY, YOU WILL CONTINUE READING THIS PASSIONATE PLEA.
After spending may hours searching the various forums within the BP site at large and reading thousands of questions and the fifteen thousand answers given in response, I noticed an overwhelming trend:
QUESTIONS GET REPEATED OVER & OVER & OVER & OVER and the answers that follow are either:
A. Misleading and/or Wrong OR
B. Provided by contributors that lack expertise in the field they are responding on.
Think about how many times Rickie Responder simply says "Contact Joe 6 pack at Unknown Inc. and tell them I sent you." Do you really need to tell Outsider Inc. that @Rickie Responder sent you - WTF is that all about??
It's difficult for me to see how that response is any different than a paid advertisement for Outsider Inc. Moreover, while I understand the value of a referral, Outsider Inc. has done nothing for the BP community at large and has no body of work that you can look back at to verify that Outsider Inc. is actually qualified/experienced/tested.
SO HERE'S MY SOLUTION, MY OFFER AND MY HAND (for those of you are suspicious of my questioning of @Rickie Responder above):
I WILL CREATE CONTENT MONTHLY (comparisons, how to's, guides, checklists etc.) THAT ADDRESSES SPECIFIC ILLINOIS LEGAL ISSUES. I WILL POST IT WITHIN THIS CHICAGO AREA SO ITS EASY TO FIND AND UPDATE IT BASED ON READER SUGGESTIONS AND CHANGES THAT AFFECT THE SUBJECT MATTER. THEREAFTER, ONCE IT HAS BEEN BP TESTED, I WILL POST THAT SAME CONTENT OUTSIDE BP FOR THE BENEFIT OF MY CLIENTS.
With any luck, professionals in other disciplines will take it upon themselves to do the same (CPA's, lenders, inspectors/contractors, appraisers maybe even some @Rickie Responder's that have more to say than "Welcome to BP; can I make some money off of you).
THIS COULD BE GREAT FOR EVERYONE, BUT IT STARTS WITH YOU, ESPECIALLY YOU TOP CONTRIBUTORS/GURUS/LEGENDS. I CHALLENGE YOU TO PUT ME TO WORK, VET ME AND ELEVATE THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE BY DOING SO. 3 - 2 - 1... BRING IT @?(YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE)
