Forums Are Gold Mine
Forums Are A Marketer’s Gold Mine
If you’re like many people, you use the Internet as a way to connect with others who have similar likes and interests. The good news is that you can put your social butterfly skills to good use and make some money while you’re chatting away.
Marketing in forums is one of the simplest ways to make money online. The vast majority of forums have no fees to join. They offer a goldmine of prospective buyers who are interested in specific niche topics. When you get the process right you’ll find that marketing in forums can be a very lucrative, and a fun way to sell your products or someone else’s as an affiliate. Here’s a step-by-step plan for forum marketing success.
Step 1 of 5: Finding Forums that Fit Your Niche
The first step to marketing in forums is finding the right one to become a part of for your online income strategy. The Internet is a vast connection of social networks and no matter what niche you’re involved in, there’s bound to be a group of people talking about it.
You can quickly and easily find suitable forums for your niche with a Google search. Enter the following into the Google search engine: allintitle:keyword filetype:html forum . Of course, you’d replace keyword with your keyword of choice. If you’re planning on promoting an eBook with tips on gardening, you’d want to use “gardening” as your keyword, and so on.
Make sure there are no spaces between “allintitle:” and your keyword. Your search results will show a list of online forums related to your topic. Next, you’ll want to evaluate each forum to see whether or not it’s worth your time to post there.
The biggest thing to look for in a forum is activity. Does the forum have a lot of members, or just a hardcore few? You want to find a forum that has a wide variety of regular posters, so you’ll have lots of people to market to. Still, don’t rule out a smaller forum if you want to test the waters because sometimes a highly targeted group can mean a higher conversion in click-throughs to your links, and ultimately – sales. Also, make sure the forum allows you to use a signature or “sig” file when you post. Your sig file will be home to your product links, so it’s vital that you’re allowed to use one.

Yes, forums are great. You can definitely get sales from members. Also, signatures do help with SEO.
Sure, each sig is not as good for SEO as you’d get for, say, an article bio-box link, but it still counts. And it’s very easy to rack up a lot of these backlinks in an active forum.
And best of all, you have all that content that you have written on the forum. You can edit it and add stuff to make it unique content, then post it on your blog.
Tell me what you're thinking...
