Hints On Utilizing Forums For Efficient Marketing

As far as product promotion is concerned, there are dozens of methods that can be used; and forum marketing is just one that has been around almost forever. Keep reading if forum marketing is yet to be a part of your marketing bag of tools; we have three solid ways to put it to work for you.

Not all forums are the same or created equal - or even good, so first we'll talk about staying out of the wrong places. One of the main things to consider when signing up for forums in your niche is to make sure that they allow signature links. If you're new to this, then your signature, or sig file, will be at the very bottom of your posts, and that's where the links go. If you have ever done article marketing, then you know about the article bio/resource boxes at the bottom - same idea but not exactly like it. But with a forum signature, sometimes you don't have that much freedom and you're restricted. The bottom line, though, is that if you cannot have "links" in your signature, then do not even bother to join. In order to find out if this is allowed or not, first of all go through the frequently asked questions section of the forum or the section where they have the rules laid out. You can also perhaps more easily look at existing posts, and you'll see if there are no signatures with links, etc. But if posts do have sig links, then you're gold and can join; however, we always encourage people to take the time and read the forum rules just to be on the safe side. This next item is also really very important; for best results it's necessary to be very inconspicuous with your market in forums. Other forum members want to know who you are and want to get to know you. Always be upfront, and that includes having a picture of you and use your name, etc.

Your forum signature is powerful, and you'll really need to find a way to make people notice it. Another great approach with signatures is to put images in them that are hyperlinked.

You want to avoid being lost at sea and never seen, and that can sometimes easily happen if the forum is crowded. Not every forum will let you do this, but if you can then the image will help to call attention. Try to avoid anything that will turn people off because that is not what you're trying to do. The image also helps eliminate the tedium of always seeing plain text in sig files. Lots of people have had tremendous success with forum marketing, and it's not hard to do as long as you do it intelligently. How well you do with forums is entirely up to you, but if you have the patience then it can be well worth it.
