Forum Marketing
In reality, a Forum membership is more valuable than many the Internet marketing eBooks, training programs and membership sites you could ever join. In fact, most of the people publishing Internet marketing eBooks, training programs and membership sites are active forum members.
You need to get a FRE*E membership to the a Business Chat Forum, there are so many in the Internet marketing community on the Internet… Period.
Here is a quick video on the basics of forum marketing
Remember when I talked about education??? You will not get any better education then on a forum. It is full of real people making real comments on how to make money, drive traffic and get rich on the Internet. You want to make some money right?
So what is a Forum? A Forum is an online community and discussion forum for internet users. Forums specifically cater towards certain Niches. There are forums out there that are about Internet Marketing, Network Marketing, Health and Wellness, you name it, there is more than likely a forum specifically about that niche. The forums I want you to look for talk about Internet Marketing and Network Marketing.
Forums are often stomping grounds for the best Internet marketers on the planet.
A Forum is a training ground for thousands of up and coming Internet marketers.
A Forum is a place to share ideas, find answers, make friends and develop partnerships.
A Forum is an organic, always growing, support resource for your entire Internet marketing business.
In addition to all of this, Forums are *great* places to PROMOTE you and your web site.
The only way to benefit from Forums is to experience it for yourself.
So let’s get started…
I am going to recommend two forums to join, Conquer Your Niche, and Better Networker. What is really cool about this forum is that You’ll get to display an ad on the forum. And they give you advertisement credits every time you post, reply, or even READ a post. Log into those links and follow the instructions written to create your FREE account.
Another great forum is the Better Networker Forum. This is quickly becoming the biggest and most valuable resource out there.
Ok, here is a list of other great Network Marketing and Internet Marketing Forums.
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING ABOUT BEING ON A FORUM IS YOUR SIGNATURE FILE. Let me say that again… THE MOST IMPORTANT THING ABOUT BEING ON A FORUM IS YOUR SIGNATURE FILE.
OK, signature files. What’s a signature file? A signature file is an ad placed at the end of each of your forum posts. What’s a forum post? A forum post is when you respond to a discussion in progress (also known as a thread) by typing a response and submitting it. The Forums contain thousands of discussions in progress. When you post to a discussion in a forum, your response will be included as part of the discussion. At the end of your response, your sig file ad will appear so that everyone who reads that thread in the future has the opportunity to see your ad.
What do you want to include on your signature file? A link to your web site you are promoting of course!!!!. Having a web page in your signature file is essential. Sig file ads in the forum are immortal. In other words, they can remain active and produce profits for you forever. Even when a discussion (thread) is no longer being actively posted to, it remains in the forum archives forever. These archives are often indexed by Google and other major search engines and discussions that you’ve participated in are often found by people using the search engines.
The more you post in the forum, the more inbound links you’ll get to your website. The more inbound links you get, the more visitors you’ll attract. The more visitors you attract, the more sales you’ll make. It really is that simple.
OK so here is the secret. Go to each one of those forums I recommended and post something on there in response to a thread of discussion.
Here is the key though…NEVER ADVERTISE YOUR BUSINESS ON A FORUM!!!! Your signature file does all the advertising for you! When you post a comment……ask a relevant question, post some information that might be useful to someone on there. NEVER blatantly advertise your business on there…people will label you as a spammer and not listen to you at all. Even worse, you might get banned from that forum. You want to show people on the forums that you are an expert in your area. Your posts should be geared as such.
I recommend doing 5 forum posts a day for 25 days. With your signature file attached, that is 125 links back to your website! All for commenting and learning from a forum for FREE!!! The more posts you do, the more people are going to think you are an expert! People want to work with an expert and they will start clicking on your link in your signature file. WHAMO!!!! Instant traffic to your web site.. Get it? 
Here is the format for how you want to set-up your forum signature block.
