5 Ways to Make Online Forums More Useful
Many people advise that you go to forums in order to promote
your business. All well and good unless... Unless that's all you
do there. I've watched what seems to be a mistake made by lots
of folks who don't see some of the real potential in these
forums. Some people seem to post anything, no matter how
trivial, just to leave their link for people to follow. Maybe
this can have some limited success -- if you're really good at
leaving links that generate clicks.
But no matter how good you may be at that, a good forum can be
so much more if you'll open your mind and eyes. Here are 5 ways
that I have used with great benefit. I believe you can benefit,
as well.
1 - Use them for ideas. Forums can be incredible idea holes.
There are some people who seemingly have a vital need to radiate
good ideas like the sun radiates heat. You'll find one or two
people (sometimes a lot more) like this in every good forum. And
you're missing a lot if you don't take advantage of it.
2 - In addition to getting ideas, you can use forums as antennas
to learn about about resources, products, and services. You can
then do write ups about them to create ORIGINAL CONTENT on your
site. This will increase the stickiness of your site and build
your credibility as a marketer. Give this one a try for sure!
3 - Use them to learn how people communicate in writing. This is
very important because in internet marketing nearly EVERYTHING
you communicate is via writing. Look for cool ways of saying
things. Find out if new jargon is getting used. But
most of all,
find the people who seem to be most persuasive and study how
they use their words and phrasing. Learn from them.
4 - Use forums to get great deals on things you don't know you
want! I have secured free lifetime memberships in various places
where the owner asked for feedback before he or she launched. In
return for this valuable feedback, I got my lifetime membership.
These things don't necessarily come along every day or even
every week. But if you explore the forums on a consistent basis,
you'll definitely get in on some really great deals. And if
these things take off, they become incredibly valuable.
5 - Use them to see who's out there that you might be able to
hook up with. Not just for joint ventures, but for master mind
groups (the kind that Napoleon Hill talked about). If they give
you a URL to their website, this is essentially an invitation to
strike up a conversation. Go ahead. They'll tell you whether
they're interested or not. I've developed some very good
friendships and business relationships by doing just this very
thing.
As you can see, forums can and should be used for much more than
just driving traffic back to your site. Useful as that is,
you're simply missing very important benefits if that's all you
do.
