Hi Kyle,
I am trying to get ny site/theme to my liking and tried to hire a WP developer whom I asked to review my site.
He cancelled the job and accused me of "Spamming", ple

Why did this developer say you were spamming? And how much was he trying to charge you to review your site

Thanks for the reply Mylife1502,
I asked him to explain and I have made a complaint to the organization.
He did not give me an answer, just repeated "Spamming, spamming".
I have put a lot of effort into developing my site but was still not happy with the overall feel, so I thought if I could get a professional who could just tweak certain things then I could concentrate on the Content and Google rankings which is where I am at in training.
I have been researching this affiliate marketing business and I fear that even though the intentions at WA are good on the outside people still feel that we are "scammers".
The key question for me and something which Kyle brought up in his April Fools joke, is how much and what is real help in this community?
Because certain professionals think that if you ask for help and are not in a position to pay them the amount they are worth, then you are taking liberties, which to a certain extent is true.
My feeling is that I specialize in certain things and need help in other areas, I would love for the management to identify this especially considering that they project this "Friend" culture at WA.
By helping in realistic ways we would all be more successful and overall the community would be more successful.
But since I have been here I noticed that some people don't even say thanks when you help them and it's an "All about me" culture.
There are a lot of factors which contribute to an individuls success, so you have to put in your own efforts, but in the case of the Wordpress Theme/Plugins/management, I noticed that even professionals are at a lost sometimes.
I feel that as an entrepreneur you just overcome these obstacles and as Kyle says "Keep it simple", but a little help towards success from someone who is "Truly successful" and has been there before would not go amiss.
Which makes me wonder how many people here are really successful, in that they would help genuine hardworking members to succeed and thereby succeeding themselves.
Anyway I know I am not "spamming" anyone and therefore I shall continue to progress, which means I will probably end up doing it myself.
I have decided to leave the site as it is and concentrate on my content and user-friendliness, with some Marketing to drive traffic.
Sorry to vent my frustrations to you as you are the only one to reply to my question in the first place, but I suppose I was annoyed that after all my efforts someone would call it "spam" to which I have a different understanding.
Thanks again Mylife1502,
best wishes to you in your endeavours.
