Forums are places where your marketing can take the real boost. Below you have 5 steps which you can follow to achieve the results you've always wanted with forum marketing.
1. Choose several
forums.
One forum won't be enough. You need
to choose around 10 forums where you want to post. Also you don't want to
choose some lame inactive forum. Find the places which have lots of visitors
and which will attract people's attention. With one forum you will have
results, but the more forums you choose, the more visitors and buyers you will
acquire. After all your revenue is directly proportional to the umber of people
you can reach out to. So reach out wide. Also, you don;t want to choose the
wrong forums. Fins those places where people talk things related to your nice.
Are you selling furniture? Find at least 10 furniture forums.
2. Create your
accounts.
Creating an account is
not in itself a difficult process. You just need to register with a valid email
address, confirm it and you are all set. But there still are some things to
watch out for. First of all you need to use some humanizing data. Even if you
don't provide your real personal information you still need to make it look
like an actual personal account on each of that forums. So upload a cool avatar
and make all accounts look real and nice.
3. Become active.
It's not enough to have
the accounts. You also need to make them look nice. Don't start posting your
links and marketing ads right away. Socialize, comment, discuss and bond with
the other users first. If you will post an ad as soon as you've created the
account no one will buy t. You need to gain trust in order to market the right
way. Talk around, post useful stuff and help people. Make friends and let some time
pass before taking action.
4. Create the base.
This step is the most
powerful forum marketing technique you can employ. Before posting your ads or
your links pose a problem and demand a solution. If what you are selling is
furniture, ask people on the forum where can you buy furniture. Ask for their
recommendation. What this does is that people get engaged in the discussion and
you get their attention.
5. Market by offering
the solution
By following the steps
above this final step becomes easy as hell. Just answer to your own thread by
letting everyone know that you've found the solution. And post the link to your
website. Thank everyone for helping you out, let them know that you appreciate
their help and then pop in with the solution you hypothetically chose – your
own link.
