Forum Marketing Tips - Don't Get Sucked Into the Drama

Let me start out by saying that what I am about to tell you to do is easier said than done

. If it wasn't, I wouldn't have to write about it. However, if you are going to survive in forums, you MUST stay out of the drama...not only for your sanity, but for your reputation. If you don't understand why, don't worry...this article is going to spell it out in plain English. Keep reading to find out how to survive in forums.

Okay, there are basically two main reasons why you want to stay out of the drama at forums. But first, before we get to them, we need to define the word "drama" because a lot of people don't know the difference between drama and important discussion.

Drama is anything that isn't relevant to the issue being discussed. For example, if a thread is discussing the benefits of affiliate marketing over freelancing, drama would be people bringing other things into the mix that have nothing to do with the topic but do so in order to discredit both business models and start a fight. We call these people trolls and they are to be avoided at all costs. Don't get sucked into the drama they try to stir up.

As for the two reasons, the first one is for your peace of mind. When you get sucked into stupid arguments, it distracts you from the things you need to be doing that actually help your business. You end up getting angry and ultimately, can't concentrate on the things that you need to concentrate on. In the long run, your business suffers...period.

But there is an even bigger reason. Your reputation. See, when you get sucked into the drama, you usually end up saying things that you regret saying. This does nothing more than hurt your reputation. Everything you say at a forum stays there for a very long time. And people don't forget. Sometimes, you could end up alienating a whole group of people who used to look up to you. It just isn't worth it...not in the grand scheme of things.

As I said, this is easier said than done...especially when people go out of their way to push your buttons. But trust me, no good comes out of getting sucked into the drama. Stick to the topic. Give info to help other members. Stay calm. Be somebody that others will look up to.

Like I said...easier said than done.

To YOUR Success,
