3 Interesting and Effective Forum Marketing Strategies
Forum Marketing
There are tons of ways to promote your product on the web and get targeted traffic back to it and make some sales, but there are evergreen marketing methods such as forum marketing that will never die. Given below are 3 effective forum marketing tips that will help you get highly targeted traffic without putting in any kind of money for investment.
An obvious tip that many ignore is to post comments in threads that are being viewed by a lot of forum members. Many successful forum marketers have been using this, with great success, for years. Just concentrate on providing value and focus on topics that are getting a lot of views and your signature link will get clicked on by people who's attention it catch. Don't waste your time on threads that don't get responses or threads because your time can be better spent on popular threads. Grab the limelight for yourself by starting a popular thread. For example, if you're posting on forum A, then you can research the popular threads on forum B, and try to post similar content. Remember, you are here for results so focus on what brings results. Always try to be understated about your marketing in forums, and always read the Terms of Service (TOS) for every forum you join. What you're doing is relationship marketing, and people will not trust you at first. The best approach is to be honest and sincere with everyone, and just be open in your responses and try to give first.
Last but not the least; remember that as a forum marketer you have to be consistent in delivering value to the other forum users. You can spend a few minutes there every day and post something value, and that doesn't have to take more than a few minutes of your time. Just know before going in to any forum what you need to do, and the things that will have an impact on your reputation, marketing, and business. Forum marketing is simple to do, but for maximum effect and results it's smart to know exactly how to approach it. But don't work hard only to throw it all away by selling something that is garbage.
Forum marketing is very powerful for many reasons, but you should always conduct tests and experiments to increase your results. There is nothing stating you can't test, and you never know when you'll discover something that works very well. Always be sure to check the FAQ's and rules of the forum, so just see what is possible and give it a shot.
