Online Forum Marketing and 4 Reasons Why It Works
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.
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:
- 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.
- Warrior Forum is the top internet marketing forum online today.
- 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.
