How do you make money with Forums
Forum Marketing is nothing new, its been around for quite some time but its been abused. Today’s lesson will be on how to use Forums in the correct manner by contributing and making money from recommendations you provide.
All of the rules that you learned on Social Marketing apply here as well however the value of your comments is what separates you from every other person who’s trying to sale something. Forums are there for one thing communication between internet users, its a place for people of like minded and sometimes not like minded to come together and discuss certain topics of interest. All niches have forums attached to them as below”
1. Weight loss Forums
2. Making Money Forums
3. Dating Forums
4. Anything Forums
If there is a market niche for it there’s a forum for it where people will come to discuss their options and ask questions. Perfect for us as that’s what we do, we help with options and advise and most importantly we contribute but answering questions not just providing links.
Below are some great articles to help you along the path – I always try to get at least two to three good sources of information before I make a decision on how I’m going to market on a specific subject.

Will Forum Discussions Help Your Blog Make Money Online? | BB Articles – You can increase your exposure and make money online by effectively participating in, relevant to your niche, forums.
The main thing to remember on this type of marketing is to be respectful of the Forum that your on. Don’t just post random links to products that don’t apply to the questions or the forums. Example: Don’t put a watch ad on a weight loss forum – they don’t match and that’s a quick way to get booted out of the community.
The main goal of all of the social marketing is:
* Contribute to the Forum
* Make good comments – not just a “Nice Work” comment – I feel that all my comments should be at least two sentences. If you can’t find two sentence to write then you shouldn’t post on that forum – Think about that for a second have you ever clicked on a link that had two words on a comment or a forum?
* Help people find what they are looking for
* Communication with people in your market niche
* By following all the rules the final goal is to make money : )
Now I know a lot of people are saying why is making money the last goal of social marketing? You and I both know that is the first goal but if you go into Social Marketing and posting on Forums with that intention only then you will not be successful. By helping other people we in turn help ourselves.
