Marketing By Forum 2

This is part 2 of this guide. If you haven't read part 1 yet, please do. It is equally as important to your success as a forum marketer.

Signature - Many people put a link to their business opportunity in their signature. In my view, this is a bad move. These people you are talking too are your "friends." Don't send them to a pitch page for a business opportunity that they have never heard of. My signature links contain either a link to my homepage that talks about my family, my interests and my life, or a link to my email.

In my signature, I simply put "If you find me interesting, email me and lets talk" OR "I trust the opinion of my friends at "forum name", so if you don't mind, please view my new homepage and tell me what you think." My homepage contains links to my businesses, but its main purpose is to talk about my life, my family and my interests. It shows that I'm not just a guy trying to make money.

You Don't Care - This is a big one! Probably the most important part of forum marketing too! Almost every person that tries to promote in forums writes something like that "I wanted to let you guys know about this program I am involved in. I showed me how to make $100,000 in 2 weeks and it actually works. To find out more, (pitch page)." That's absolutely horrible. No wonder why people say forum marketing doesn't work.

Here's what I do after I get 300 posts: I go into the "Business Section" and I make my title something like "Tell me what you think of this" and I write something very short and simple like "I'm not really into the whole online business thing but I found this program and I wanted to give it a try. It says you can make a lot of money pretty quickly and I was very skeptical. I gave it a try anyway and although I didn't get rich overnight, I did make a few hundred dollars my first week. Better then I thought I'd do. I know a lot of you guys on here know about this stuff so I trust your opinion. Give it a look and tell me what you think. There is a link to it on my homepage. Thanks everyone!" That's it. Quick and simple!

Good luck and much success!
