Forum Marketing-5 Posts A Day Can Really Pay Off
By Jeff Schuman

Have you ever approached discussion forums from a marketing point of view? Did you know that making as few as 5 posts per day can make a huge difference in your Internet business?

I know in my case I was able to jump start my Internet
business in the first couple of years concentrating
primarily on forum marketing. There are a couple of keys to
making this pay off.

1. You need to consistently add posts to various threads
that appeal to you. All you need to do is join three to four
discussion forums that relate to the theme of your business.

Start hanging out in these discussion forums getting a feel
for the type of discussions that are going on. This can be a
tremendous source of free training if you are new to Internet
marketing.

However, eventually you will want to begin to participate in
the discussions. Make every post you enter one that provides
quality to the conversation.

Never make a post just because you are trying to increase
your post count. If you make a quality post other forum
members will respect that and it will enhance your
credibility within the forum.

2. Write a well written signature file. Take a look at some
of the other members to get ideas on how you can do that.

I know I personally wanted to just promote one or two
specific website URLs. If you focus on doing that you can
generate a lot of meaningful traffic to any website you want
to promote.

Be precise with the words you write. Nobody wants to read a
book in your signature file. I like to think of my signature
file as a short classified ad similar to what I would use in
my resource box when doing article marketing.

3. Do not underestimate the long term value of posting in
discussion forums. Many of these threads are archived and
can bring traffic to you long after you have made your post.

They can also be a tremendous source of search engine
traffic. Many search engines will rank a thread for a
targeted keyword phrase.

The more discussions you are participating in the more
potential traffic you can get. This can be from forum
members directly or from long term search engine traffic.

These are a few helpful tips on doing forum marketing. If
you will just make five posts a day, and consistently work
it that, it can have a huge impact on the success of your
Internet business.

Any serious Internet marketer can afford to spend that much
time every day doing this valuable form of Internet
marketing.
