Marketing in forums can be a great place to promote your
opportunity but if done incorrectly can ruin your
reputation and credibility. These forums are meeting
grounds for highly targeted prospects that are all there
for the same reason with the same goals in mind. Imagine
walking into a room with thousands of people ALL interested
in the same thing!
Let's list some of the benefits of using forums to market:
• Highly targeted prospects
• Making connections with goal oriented and professional
people
• You can learn while contributing to the community
• Your posts remain over time and gradually increase
exposure
• People that already understand mlm are seeing your message
With forum marketing you will not get outrageous traffic
but contributing to a forum and making a post takes at most
a couple of minutes. If you were to spend 20 minutes per
day posting to 5 or 6 forums and you were to receive 5, 10
or even 20 visitors this would be well worth it.
The great part about this is that those 10 or 15 visitors
are HIGHLY TARGETED visitors. They understand network
marketing, they don't need convincing and they may even be
already skilled so if they do happen to join your
opportunity will already be ready to go!
The most important part of forum marketing is something
called your "signature box". This is just basically a short
little message that goes at the bottom of every single one
of your posts and is automatically inserted because you set
it up in your profile. Please email me or do a search on
google for my article on creating a KILLER signature.
Lets talk about the DO NOTs when it comes to forum
marketing:
• DO NOT post random posts just so people can see your
signature box
• ONLY post when you genuinely have something of value to
add
• DO NOT directly promote your opportunity in your posts
If you do these things people will know what you are doing
and your credibility will be ruined and even if you do
start contributing people will not take you seriously.
OK! So now for the good stuff! Let's get into exactly what
to do.
First of all, finding forums is pretty easy. Since we are
in the network marketing industry we can simply go to
google and type in "network marketing" + "forums". Typing
it in like this makes sure that the exact words come up.
Don't stop there though you can try other forums such as
"MLM" + "Forums" and not only people in mlm forums are
looking for opportunities! There are MANY other forums you
can become a part of such as money forums or home business
forums. You need to do your own testing and see what gives
you the biggest response. But for now start with the
network marketing and mlm forums. Also make sure there is
activity In the forum. If there are only 100 members and
nobody has posted for a month or two don't even waste your
time.
So how do you set up your signature box? Well let's talk
about "what" to put in your signature box. Exactly what you
write in your signature box depends to a large degree what
type of opportunity you are promoting. You need to address
a concern that people have. For example let me just tell
you an example of how I teach our team at Joblessjake to
write our signature boxes. Our team addresses the concern
of many newbie online marketers needing help because they
are confused, overloaded with information, tired of joining
program after program only to find they still don't know
what the heck to do! So when new team members get started
on our team we give them step by step 1on1 mentoring to
MAKE SURE they make money. They even get access to my cell
phone, email and IM! So our team writes our signature boxes
around this distinct advantage we offer. So what you must
do is find something unique that you or your company or
team offers and write a creative message in your signature
box that makes people want to click on your link!
Here is an example signature box just so you can get an
idea of what one would look like: "Let our company help you
build your downline! Get paid 5 different ways… from your
efforts, your uplines efforts, your team AND your companies
efforts!" >> Details Here
This is a very rough draft and I just made it up in my mind
right now. You need to think of something unique you or our
company does and write your own.
So here are your action steps:
1. Find 5 or 6 forums pertaining to MLM or network
marketing and join them
2. Make at least one post per day in each forum (20 minutes
per day)
3. Make your signature box and test different ones to get
better results
The most important thing is to test things on your own and
try new ideas. Our team uses a method when using forums to
make their post one of the most popular posts so that
literally EVERYONE in the forum is participating in their
post and thousands see their signature box. I hope this was
helpful and please email me if you have any questions at
all! Good luck out there!
