Are you a social butterfly, the life of the party? Do you want to get out of your boring job and earn more without even leaving your home? If socializing with people is your thing and becoming rich and famous, your dream, you'll find the best match with forum marketing.
Today, forum marketing is becoming one of the best strategies for getting great profits. The primary reason is that it doesn't require much of a capital. The only real task a marketer will have to accomplish is to continuously participate in the community, sharing thoughts, interacting with members, getting friends-trivial things, really. The goal is to become a reliable member who people will run to for information, tips, and advice.
The task seems pretty simple, right? But how come a lot of marketers who try it still fail?
Why?
Well, it's probably because they came rushing to the forums without much of a thought or plan. Here's the thing: forums are usually very amiable in accepting members. However, a lot of them are keen and are only too happy to kick people out who break the rules.
What are these rules? Rules vary from forum to forum. Today, however, we will discuss 3 triggers or no-nos that you should avoid at all cost when utilizing forum marketing.
The 3 Big Forum Marketing No-nos
No spam!
Spam is basically posting repetitive, senseless messages. In the case of forums, spamming is posting nonsense, irrelevant, or blank posts done simply to show-off one's signature or name. Spamming is a great way to get noticed-and it's the best way to get kicked out of a forum. That said, the most vital tip I'm going to give you is this: don't ever spam! Even if you're lucky and you're not kicked out after a major spam, your name will totally be marred. You will not be trusted ever again, moderators will have their eyes on you, and, worst, you will ever make a sale! That's one tough luck.
No fights! (Keep your comments to yourself if you know it will just start a fight.)
Another big forum marketing no-no is fighting.
In simplest words, this is the rule: If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. Fights can erupt from the simplest of things. If you come up to a thread where a hot topic is being discussed and where, you can foresee, your opinion will only trigger a fight, just leave. It's better to stay out than get involved and have your name marred. Just as another saying goes, "Better safe than sorry."
No irrelevant comment just for the sake of showing off your signature!
For forum marketers, sales begin in the signature. Why? Because our signatures are where we usually introduce ourselves, give insights to what we offer, and include a link to our website.
That's why it's necessary to be an active member-to be seen, to continuously participate in discussions, and to be a reliable member.
However, that doesn't mean that we should abuse it and post in every thread we can access. Post only in threads where you can share valuable information. Look for threads that discuss a topic you're an expert in or you're very interested or familiar with. This will help you further in becoming that forum member people will always come to.
In this article, we discussed only the 3 biggest no-nos of forum marketing; there are still tens if not hundreds of things you'll have to avoid in utilizing this marketing strategy. Nonetheless, following the above 3 tips will already give you a great advantage and head start.
