Who isn't am I right?
Do consider forum marketing. There's a vast amount of forums out there related to any niche you could think of on the internet.
- They are a good information source
- They provide good backend links
Do read on our previous post to understand more about backend links and the importance of it.
Forum marketing let's you create a vital image of yourself.
Participate in questions or conversations related to your niche.
Soon you'll be an expert on that forum for that niche.
One thing that you should avoid while posting on the forum is to excessively promote your products. This will most likely create an image of a spammer and you'll lose your credibility.
Soon the whole forum will avoid you.
When you post information in a forum, you should offer valuable ideas and information and only by using your signature tag to promote your product or idea. The only time that you should promote your business on a forum is if the forum allows it.
You should be extremely active as it is an excellent way to create brand awareness about the product you are promoting. It also helps you gain contacts with people you would otherwise not have. If you properly network through these forums you can build your network of contacts fairly quickly and also find plenty of people with the same goals as you.
Another important factor of forums is some of them will reward you for posting on them. These rewards can be anywhere from advertising credits to banner ads among others. When you are offered these rewards, you need to fully use them in order to maximize your exposure which will allow you to get people aware of both you and the product that you are promoting. Also some forums offer advertising threads which you can use to post information about the product you are marketing. These are extremely important in the more high traffic forums because search engines will not only index your website but also your opportunity post.
A part of your online marketing efforts should be used towards using forums. It is a valuable media for use to create an image and promote your product. This is the one of the best and cheapest type of branding and exposure that you are looking for.
Cheers
