Effective Ways to Use Forums to Increase Online Traffic-Make Your Internet Business and List Building Explode

When I tuned into real Personal Development, and Online Marketing and really began to “get it”, I was in a weird situation you may be familiar with or not…

I was finally understanding the psychology of marketing. I new I had to position myself and just help people with information they were interested in anyway… I new I had to approach them in a non-”salesy” way and have them want to hear what I had to say (write)…

Problem was, I had a really tight budget so I couldn’t really advertise or purchase traffic yet… I had to get creative… I didn’t have you tube, myspace or any social networking “sites” yet other than Discussion Forums…

I saw most people were using Forums to argue, pitch, and fight with others… (they still are…) so I decided to take my mentor’s advice and do the exact opposite… most people were “pitching” in one way or another and it was always the same process:

1. Pitch a post or blatant spam…

2. Offer to teach them how to make money BUT AFTER they join them…

I decided to motivate, teach, and share information I was learning with NO REGARD to whether people joined me or not…

I was genuinely interested in helping others to some good info.

My signature file (a little tag line with a link) at the end of each post would invite people to learn the tactics of attraction marketing to build any business online and it had a link to my personal capture page… and the link to my prospecting system site…

I made it a consistent practice to post in 3 online marketing/network marketing forums 3 times per day every day… and I became part of the community, and made some key friends and connections…

Discussion Forums were what finally “put me on the map” and helped people notice me and what I had to offer (which was the training I was getting and offering from my team). And then people started emailing, instant messaging or even calling me and many would have something like this to say:  Thanks for the help.  I will be seeing you around.
