What are forums anyway?
Forums are websites where people go to engage in online conversation. See, before facebook, myspace and others, people used forums to communicate. If you were looking for a solution to a problem and you typed it into the search engines, nine times out of ten you will end up in a forum where people with similar problems found their answer.
As it relate to Network Marketing and you marketing your network marketing business, forums is a place where you can go to find people who might be interested in your product or business opportunity. You can also use it to establish credibility and help others by answering questions. If you are in affiliate marketing or internet marketing, it is a great way to find other affiliates to help promote your product or establish joint venture relationships.
Do's and don'ts when using forums
Make sure you find forums in your niche. It takes time to get people to know like and trust you in forums so make sure you are picking those that are in your niche so you do not waste your time.
When you sign up for a forum that you feel you can benefit from, make sure you read the rules of that forum. Remember you are there to either get your questions answered or to help someone else. Do not spam your product or opportunity in the forum. It makes you look desperate and it will definitely get you banned.
Add your signature information. Most if not all forums have a signature box where you are allowed to post 2 links. Make sure you take advantage of this and post information regarding your product or opportunity. Make sure it is relevant to the forum. It is nothing like a person talking about one thing, and then going to their website and seeing something totally different.
Lastly, start posting. Be genuine in your post! Really care about helping people with growing their network marketing business or solving a problem they might have. Do not write crazy feedback information just to get people to take a look at your product. Give them information they can truly use and put into action.
