Blechman actually asked me for my phone number awhile ago, through one of his employees via the PM system on t-Nation....

I thought it was a shady as fuck move to contact a writer for a particular company through their own PM system instead of directly asking the company for my contact info...

thanks!

You should post on the MD forum. They'd probably welcome your input and it would be good exposure.

It's shady to have contacted me via PM on a site where I was on staff instead of going through the site admins/owners. Unprofessional, really....I thought very poorly of them after that.

-and-

Actually, I just picked up a gig for a competing magazine. But...out of professional courtesy, I generally avoid posting where there's a staff who I compete with for readers.

:)

Honestly, I think very poorly of most of MD's staff, and they have to do a bit better than having some 45 year old men who keep saying "Keep it real" to in fact, keep it real...

Right before MD was "hardcore" it was "All Natural" no lie...and their steroid expert was the "Muscle Gourmet" and his articles were about how to make low fat pizza, not using steroids.

No lie. Low fat Pizza.

It's just not a crowd I would like to be associated with, unless I want a low fat pizza, honestly. And I'm sure they wouldn't welcome my input, since I had their magazine name and url and half their staff banned on steroid.com.

:qt:

Sorry...this is probably more explanation than you wanted...but I just don't like those dudes over there at all.

I could tell you some inside stuff about most of the staff there...it's just (mostly) a shocking collection of stuff that goes on there. Bake me a Prop-eroni Pizza...

No seriously.....As an example...you know those little pharmacies that used to advertise in the waaay back of MD? Guess which one of their writers owned a piece of that pie...

:)


LOL!

None of this surprises me. They're gaining popularity FAST, tho - and it looks like all the big names are jumping on the wagon. (except Jay Cutler - he signed with FLEX. lol :D )

How do you go from "All Natural" to "Hardcore" ...it's beyond me...how do you take a dude who was writing articles on cooking, and publishing cookbooks, and promote him as a steroid expert? It's just shocking....I don't see it as credible.

Honestly....he's probably the dude I like the most over there too. Half of them are total asshats in my estimation. They spammed steroid.com with their links until we put a stop to it...

This is shitty and elitist of me, but in a professional sense, they would have to have between 10-20x as many members as they currently have to make it worth my time to bother with them at all. I work with Isteroids, Steroid.com, Mesorx, EliteFitness, SteroidSuperBoard, AlinBoard, SteroidEncyclopaedia....

None of those sites has any less than double the amount of MD's site, and a few have 20x as many.

Yeah - I'm a member of several different boards, but I always come back to EF. There's so much information and a huge knowledge base here. The time I spend on MD is for chatting/bullshitting/networking purposes.

Here's the best way to figure out what sites/forums you need to online network on:

Go to google.
Do a search on the keywords that define (or are common on) the area you want to succeed in.
Network on the top 5 sites that come up.
Forget the rest.

In my case, when I google keywords for my profession (Steroid information, lets say), I am already working with the top 5 sites. (MD is not one of them, BTW :) )...and the top 10 already have multiple articles from me posted by members ...

That's your best bet for using the internet to network, IMHO. It's kind of ruthless and dismissive of any sites which aren't useful...but try it, and you'll see you get results much faster that way, than by chatting on random forums.

If you need a hand with anything, drop me an e-mail.
