UBB.Developers Forums Community Development Promoting Your Community Barter for Services

This is a you help me and I''ll help you sort of thread.
Not a I'll give you a website for $20 thread []/w3timages/icons/wink.gif[/]

Some of you know some of what I do. I can for instance installWWWThreads...
And most other scripts. I also know a great deal about marketing and promotion
My real interest beyond financial survival while finishing a Ph.D is about community building on the web. <rant> Everyone talks about it but I find few really understand what is involved. </rant>

I can help develop a plan to make your forums a real community, as well as training moderators etc.

What I need:
Well I finally decided its time to use these skils to make a little money for myself and non-profit groups I support. So what I would barter for is advertising of my soon to be up Oracle Web Services site...For the Services :)

I'm in the beginning stages of building an online community of Web Designers and Graphics Enthusiasts. Any help or advice you can give will be greatly appreciated. My intentions are to begin advertising this site by the end of this month. One of the pages on the site is a listing of Web Designers that offer services for Companies seeking a commercial web site or for Personal Home pages. You can be listed there, for sure, but I would also be willing to post a banner for you in exchange for your help. Let me know what you think.

Bex...
Sorry about my delayed response.... Suddenly my web business has taken off despite the lack of a decent website (being designed as we speak)
<begin excuses>
So I have been distracted with that and finishing a dissertation and making money to survive meanwhile :(
</end excuses>
That said..Whats the url of the site? What sort of ideas do you have about building a community there? How can we help you?
