Wow, I can’t even remember when all of this started. I can say that Dicken and I had the idea quite some time ago to create FMTown. It would be based off of the models that I created in NewDocs™ and the experience that Dicken had acquired throughout his years of online marketing.<\/p>\n
NewDocs™ severely lacked a monetization model, but had the community model in high gear with more than 8000 members. You can just do the math if these members were pain just $10 a month for premium membership.<\/p>\n
I had already begun the FMTown project while simultaneously being an owner and money NewDocs™. At a certain point in the equation I was thoroughly convinced that merging companies was the best thing the do. This however did not happen and I’ll leave this gap in the story to be filled in at a later date.<\/p>\n

So Dicken and I embarked on building a new community, one that would have a monetization model while implementing the social networking and community models which I had worked to develop in NewDocs™.<\/p>\n
I’m going to leave a bookmark here because this project is still actively in process. I will say that the launch of FMTown was an immediate success. That we hit our milestones and accomplish our original mission. It wasn’t easy . I worked with our programmer Mehdi for hours on end developing the new model for our community and Dicken and I worked around the clock pulling off the entire launch.<\/p>\n
I like to say that we had to eat a few of the dogs along the way, but that we crossed the pole on this project!<\/p>\n
Another detail to mention is that as soon as we launched FMTown<\/a> we immediately came under legal attack. An individual\u00a0 who I call the “Entity” began filing and harassing us, withholding payments owed to us and then directly stealing from us.<\/p>\n
