Online Forum Marketing and 4 Reasons Why It Works

June 2, 2007 @ 7:54 am · Filed under Advertising/Marketing

When I started my article writer business I decided to put online forum marketing to a test. In case you do not know what marketing in forums on the internet is here is my own quick definition….

Online forum marketing is where you promote your business in internet discussion groups. You join a forum and begin to add to the discussions by making a post. To do it correctly you are not allowed to promote your business or products in the posts themselves. You do that by setting up a signature file when you register.

online forum marketing

This sig file is where you can hyperlink a keyword phrase back to your website. In my case I hyperlinked article writer back to my home page for our article writing business. Then everytime I made a post in the forums I belong to I got a backlink to my website for the words article writer.

Here are the benefits of forum marketing.

1. You can learn a lot for free. When I started out with my Team-Schuman.com website I was to intimidated to make a post, so I just read what other people were posting. I hung out in the Warrior Forum and really learned a lot that helped my business grow.

2. When you post you are helping another person. As I gained more knowledge I started posting and answering people’s questions. This is a great feeeling to help another person. If you believe in the law of give and you shall receive then online forum marketingt is for you.

3. You will get free advertising from your sig file. People will read your post, look at you sig file, and click on the link. This takes them to your website which gives you free traffic. In the case of our article writing business we have never advertised and all of our business came from forum marketing and posting in my blogs.

4. One other thing that is cool is that the search engines will give you credit for a backlink when you hyperlink your keyword phrase back to your website. We are now in the top 10 on Google for the phrase article writer which bringss us very targeted website traffic.

Online fourm marketing takes time to do everyday. If you are committed to doing it as one of your free marketing methods it will work.

Here is a very comprehensive list of internet marketting forums:

http://www.Team-Schuman.com/forum-directory.html

A few excellent forums I am in are:

- Warrior Forum This is my favorite and is the top internet marketing forum online today.

- Associate Programs Forum. This is the premiere affiliate marketing forum in my view. Allan Gardyne started this back in 1998 and has helped thousands fo people learn how to do affiliate marketing the right way.

- Conquer Your Niche. This is very easy to get around in and you earn advertising credits for each post you make. They also offer an affiliate program.

- Digital Point. With over 150,000 members and almost 800,000 this is one of the largest forums online today.

- Home Based Business Forum. I joined this primarily to learn and promote my network marketing website. Chris Tinney started this forum awhile back and if you have a mlm business this is the place to be.

- Work At Home Forum is a friendly community offering help to people who work at home.

These are the main ones I am in for my business. You can Google search forums, or online discussion groups for any topic and find a few that will be relevant for your type of business.

For example if you have a website about babies you could search “baby discussion forums” and it brings up over 59 million results. Find a couple you like and join them. Then jump in. If you do it right online forum marketing is a great way to learn, help people and to build your business at the same time.

    Hi -
    Can someone help me with a Forex site that I joined ? Do you know it ?
    It has a money back guarantee so I joined this and their software actually made about $250 in a few days - I tried to reach their support but
    it took some time until they responded to my questions. Besides their slow support - I must admit that this program works for me.
    Just wanted to share my experience with you.
    Did you find any other working programs that are similar ?
    Their site is http://www.ForexProfitCode.com

    A little work and a very negligible investment can bring smuku amount in your account.
    Six-dollar PayPal cash earnings method.
    Everything needed for:
    1) E-mail address
    2) PayPal Account
    3) $ 6.00
    At first I was skeptical about,
    but a couple of weeks, began naudi?a p?rskait?ties my PayPal account!

    Instruction:
    1. Step:
    The first thing to do, makes the word document and copies of all these texts, maintaining your computer in an easily accessible location. If you have not an active PayPal user, go to http://www.paypal.com. Register to set up a Premier or Business account (Personal account is not helpful, because it is not possible to get money from other users). You will be accompanied by a system of your bank card and confirm their bank account, which may take a few days. In order to transfer the recipients below one dollar, does not need a Paypal account including U.S. $ 6, it will happen automatically from your bank account when the payment of a transfer to another user. Paypal is 100% secure financial system that is used to meet the needs of millions of users around the pasaul?.Ja serious with the English language, PayPal also available in Russian. S?kumlap? can choose a language.

    Step 2:
    From your newly created PayPal account, send out any e-mails from the list for one dollar. To do this quickly and safely, follow this guide:
    1. Ielogojies PayPal system and click on “Send Money” button, the screen top
    2. “Recipient Email” field enter the email address to which you want to send $ 1
    3. “Amount” launci?? input the number “1″ (1 dollar)
    4. “Category” box labeled “Service” (with the legality of the measure)
    5. “Subject” field recordings “EMAIL LIST”, and “NOTE” field enter “PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR EMAIL LIST” ( “Please include me in your e-mail list.” As part of this transaction order, you will greet service, which is completely legal because it provides a service charge.

    6. To confirm, press & quo
    t; Continue ‘button to send the payment.
    Repeat these steps for all the six addresses, that’s it!
    here are currently valid e-mail list:
    *********
    Email list:

    1) dcarp157@aol.com
    2) pelagea01@gmail.com
    3) jd.initio @ gmail.com
    4) lagra@tvnet.lv
    5) festers21@inbox.lv
    6) agn1024@gmail.com

    *********
    3. Step:
    Once you have completed the payments, edit the saved document deleting the first e-mail address and the other by sliding on one site to the top (2nd e-mail becomes the 1st, 3rd for 2nd, etc.), as a last resort, the SIXTH e-mail, add his (their, you register with PayPal system). These are the only changes to be made to this document. ** Again, make sure that the email address corresponds with your PayPal registered address, the opposite case, you will not receive payment **
    4. Step:
    Publish your text converted to the maximum number of forums (50, 100, even 200). It is indeed a great opportunity and a great idea to earn only should be allowed time for these users to transfer U.S. $ 1 and located elsewhere in this announcement, after iespajas in several places. In order to be successful!

    Jeff,

    The one thing that I can say is that forum marketing is a great place to have backlinks to your website and getting some free leads to your business, but this strategy is only like 5% of what a person needs to do online in order to succeed.

    ITS MY PLEASURE TO BE HERE WITH MY NEW FAMILY AND IM SURE WE WILL LEARN A LOT FROM EACH OTHER. AND DON’T FORGET IF WE COULD WAKE UP WE COULD MAKE UP from anything you may have done in the past ,realize that your attitude is the key to life in other words what you think of is what you’ll become so if you think your going to become the best internet marketer thats what your going to become,if you think your going to become a failure at it thats whats going to happen. Always remember if you change your way of thinking, you change your way of living and thats the bottom line
