subject: How to Communicate with your target market [print this page] There are many ways that you are able to communicate with your target market and each one of these ways enables you to generate traffic as well as discovering a great deal about the market in question. One of my favourites is to communicate through one of the many forums. It does not really matter what niche you are in as there are lots of forums for every niche imaginable but it is always a good idea to sign up to a forum and to spend some time looking around and to get a feel for some of the subjects that are being discussed. You should try and offer helpful advice if at all possible and try and become someone who is known on the forum as someone who gets things done. You could then develop a project which you could promote through your signature on the forum but whatever you do dont jump in and do that straight away, you will be accused of spamming and probably get your account closed down. Another great way of communicating with your target market is through the amazing power of Twitter. Operate in a similar way as you would in the forums by offering helpful advice and you will soon find that you have a large number of followers who you can help and ultimately make money from over the long run. Your aim should be to invite your Twitter followers to a webpage where you can capture their email address by offering a free gift such as a short guide or report and then you will be in a great position to build up a relationship with them which will bear fruit over the months and years to come.
