How to Generate Traffic With Forum Marketing

[SticKer]

There are so many different ways to market your website online. One very effective method is forum marketing. Before I get into this topic, you should know that its definitely not an overnight formula, it takes time for this method to build up significant results.

You always begin your marketing efforts with taking a look at your target market. What forums do you think your target market would visit? Do a Google search for forums related to your topic or related to your target market. Make a list of the forums and visit each one. Read through them a little bit to get a feel for the people who visit the forum. Be careful not to waste endless hours going through forums though, it's easy to get sucked in!

Once you have 3- 5 forums you think are good for your target market, set up an account and create a signature with a link to the page you want to market. A good page to point to is your squeeze page.

Start by introducing yourself in the forum and then start answering some posts. Your number one goal in the forums is to be helpful to the other members. DO NOT blatantly advertise your website or opportunity in a forum post. No one responds to this positively. It's just not a good tactic. You want to become a respected member of the community. Add insightful comments and help people. If you do this then the other members will be much more inclined to click on your signature link. If you post useless comments or advertisements you signature link will be ignored.

With forum marketing you want to be consistent and create a reputation for yourself. Set a goal to make at least 5 posts on each of the 3-5 forums you have picked out each day. If you make 5 posts on 5 forums everyday that is 15 fresh links out there on the web pointing to your site. This is what we want! A good number of links pointing to your squeeze pages will increase views which will then increase sign ups. Write down on a piece of paper your forum choices and make a tally everyday of the postings you make - like a forum marketing to do list. This will help you to stay on track. I hope you found this information helpful. I'd love to hear about your successes in forum marketing!
