Junior Thought Leaders have all of the privileges listed above for Premium Members, and in addition, they are allowed to run one 468px by 60px banner advertisement as part of their signature file.

Junior Thought Leaders are people who have a website that shares valuable self improvement or personal development information, and their banner advertisement is meant to add value to the Personal Development Partners community by exposing more people to the useful information contained at the Junior Thought Leader's website.

NOTE: Your banner advertisement must go to your website, not to an affiliate or other partner site.

Also, Junior Thought Leaders enjoy all of the following additional benefits:

• Usernames are in bold, blue font throughout the site in order to bring more attention to your posts.
• A link in the left sidebar of the site under the "Thought Leader" category
• Inclusion of your RSS feed in the Thoughts from our Thought Leaders forum, a permanent feature on the forum homepage

Cost for Junior Thought Leader membership is a $25 donation for every 6 months of membership, and includes a free view of your banner advertisement in every single post that you make.

Senior Thought Leaders have all of the benefits enjoyed by Premium members as well as Junior Thought Leaders. In addition, Senior Thought Leaders will have their usernames in red, bold font throughout the site in order to bring the maximum amount of attention to their activities.

Senior Thought Leaders can choose from 2 different membership levels.

• Level 1 – $30 donation per 6-month period.
• Level 2 (HIGHLY recommended) – A $5 donation is the only cash donation that is needed, and in addition to that small donation, you will submit a useful and valuable electronic product that can be freely downloaded by Premium Members, as well as other Thought Leaders.

Senior Thought Leaders who wish to take advantage of the 2nd option in order to share their quality products with the Personal Development Partners community need only make the $5 donation. You will then be contacted via email about getting your product into the archives in order to make it available to members who have access to that part of the site.

NOTE: The product that you donate must be your own, 100% original work. You cannot donate free copies of electronic documents that you are not the original author of. This is done so that the archive of products available to PDP members has extreme value, and is not just a collection of the same rehashed information that so many of us have already seen on the Internet.
