| Posting in forums is a VERY PROFITABLE marketing strategy |
A very powerful marketing strategy is posting in an internet marketing forum. If you’re not using this form of online advertising, you’re really missing out on a piece of your profit potential! Not only is it free, but it’s a tried and tested method! All it requires is some consistent effort and a little strategizing.
Here are some of the benefits from this marketing strategy.
1. You build credibility by answering questions. Give them a hand and share your knowledge. Remember that online marketing is about building relationships. By being a reliable source of information, you’re making relationships with people in the forum. Its only matter of time before they join your list!
2. You can freely advertise your link. By posting in forums, you’re being given opportunities to float your link out there within the topic threads!
3. Forum threads trigger search engines with keywords. By being part of threads and answering questions, people doing searches online can accidentally stumble upon you! This is more free advertising!
Here are some tips on making the most of posting on an internet marketing forum.
• Put your link in your signature line. The signature line shows up after all your posts. The more credibility you gain upon a forum, the more attractive that your signature line gets. However, if you’re not contributing anything useful, your link may possibly get ignored!
• Don’t spam the forum with advertisements. A few years ago it was actually ok for some people to place their advertisements all over the place. Nowadays it’s seen as really bad etiquette and doing so will make you appear as “hit and run” marketer trying to pull some quick easy profits. “Hit and run” has desperation written all over it, you’ll only lose respect by trying to pull this technique!
• Post your articles in the article areas. Some forums allow article posting in designated article areas, please take use of this! Sharing your content always generates more leads!
• Network with users and look for joint venture opportunities. One of the values of a forum, after all, is communication with other members. This is a powerful social setting for meeting people for joint venture opportunities. The truth is that most people like to do JV’s with their friends. Its time to go in there and make some!
• By asking for advice, you’re really advertising. This is actually a little more subtle advertising, but always works like a charm. By asking for help, with say, your site or launch page, what you’re actually doing is getting people to check it out. Once they’re there, if your launch page or site does its job, they’ll be signing up.
Another useful tip about asking for advice is you can actually use this to corner specific list owners. You can say that you have a new product with a new sales page, and that you want advice or help from someone with experience in these types of things. A person with a large opt-in list may look upon your product, and see a profitable chance for a joint venture!
Make the most of your online experience, it will pay off!
To your success!
