Done the right way, Forum Marketing can create a great stream of marketing.
But, Forum Marketing may also be the financial equivalent of stepping on a land-mine.
Forum Marketing is all about displaying your expertise and building name recognition and it can do exactly that.
That is if you do it the right way.
Done the wrong way and it does nothing but show your lack of expertise and turn your name to mud.
Once you have settled on the forums that you wish to use, read their rules and regulations.
Each forum has a different set of rules.
Many have topics that are not allowed, some permit you to advertise in your posts and others do not.
The main thing, initially, is to learn the rules of the road.
If you don't follow the rules, you may find yourself banned from the forum.
Even when it is allowed, it is never a good idea to advertise in a post or a comment that you make.
Rely on your signature to promote you and your business.
Before starting to post or comment, it is always a good idea to read the forum before you start posting to the forum.
By reading the forum, you will get a good feel for what the forum is about and the best ways to approach it.
If you just barge in, you may find yourself creating a negative image within the forum and that is one land-mine that you want to avoid.
Remember that although there are many newcomers to net marketing in the forum, there are also many of the best known names in marketing that are also posting.
So, when you decide to post or comment on a post, make sure you have the necessary expertise to comment on a given topic.
If you shoot from the hip and don't have the necessary knowledge to comment, at best, you will be ignored and at the other extreme, experienced marketers will call you to task and that will ruin your reputation.
There is nothing wrong with creating a little controversy in a forum.
Sometimes, I get my best marketing ideas from forum topics that have created some amount of argument within the ranks but, that is a lot different that being called out as a fraud.
Comment when you can help someone with a problem and keep your mouth shutwhen you can't.
The forums are all about helping each other with a common goal.
If you can help the forum reach that goal, then, go for it.
Good or bad, the reputation that you build in the forums will follow you throughout the world of internet marketing and your online career.
