Who might be interested and get value from Ecademy
I realised yesterday that despite my enthusiasm for Ecademy as a great networking and time saving tool, facility and business community, I had not included something quite crucial on this blog.
What sort of people do I think would most benefit from exploring the idea of joining Ecademy?
Obviously this is a very subjective view and many of the members of Ecademy will not fit these criteria. So don't let my summary below put you off if you're different and still want to know more.
Equally, if you look like the sort of person I've described below or you like the sound of what I've set out, do please check out the rest of this blog and follow the links to Ecademy.
To my mind the following types of people are likely to get most from Ecademy - subject to the caveats above:
1 - Anyone starting a self-employed business who would enjoy the community spirit and the facility to save time and effort by learning from hundreds/thousands of other people who have been there, done that, bought the T-shirt;
2 - Anyone who has an established small business that sells services, consultancy or products but who is not comfortable that they are getting maximum value from their networking, marketing and/or selling abilities;
3 - Anyone whose business targets either of the above categories;
4 - Anyone who doesn't live in a major conurbation or is in anyway lacking regular interactions with other like minded people - as the site includes clubs covering a very wide range of interests and activities;
5 - Anyone looking for suppliers and wants to know more about them than what appears on their website and their tender documnets/proposals;

How interesting. I wonder if the 20 or so recently banned (for no good or yet even identified reason) are anywhere in your criteria?
Who might be interested and get value from Ecademy?
People who are prepared to:
* Keep their heads down
* Agree with management at all costs
* Not 'rock the boat'
* Not question anything
If those are the types of people that you want to do business with, then it is indeed a fine place to be.
If you would prefer people with their own mind, great sense of humour, etc. Intelligent business poeple that are succeeding in some quite diverse businesses, and want to challenge and learn more about the people they do business with, I would suggest you head on over to:
www.firstmonday.com
www.supportbritain.com
www.business-scene.com
www.linkedin.com
www.ukbusinessforums.co.uk
www.ryze.com
www.sofkow.com
www.linkedin.com
If you stay with Ecademy (and if it works for you, who am I to question it?) then I would suggest backing up your network, testimonials and content regularly, and take all PM conversations to email and away from the Ecademy platform as soon as possible.
In the interests of balance, I regularly get business from Ecademists, despite having been banned over a year ago for what I deem to be very little reason.
