List Building & Forums Work Together
Thursday, October 23rd, 2008To start off what is a forum? A forum is an online discussion board where members help each other, asking and answering questions and sharing information.
Using forums to build quality list is becoming more popular. At one time, not long ago this was one of the most overlooked aspects of list building.
Lots of times people who don\’t know any better jump into forum discussions pushing a product or their website. This is a No-No.
The key to using the forums is to establish yourself as an expert in your field. Don\’t go in trying to sell something or promote your website. These people don\’t know you there for not trusting you.
Use forums to build and establish trust. Get to know these people, become friends, and help them with as many problems you can, building trust along the way.
Now that we know what a forum is and how to use it we will move on.
To find forums do a search on your favorite search engine entering your keyword or topic followed by forum. This will bring up many forums to choose from.
It\’s time to get into a little grunt work now. We need to become members to 25-50 of these forums.
Now we need to go to the profile section and create a signature. This is very important, our signature is going to have our name and a link to our website,(preferably a squeeze page) and that\’s it. Nothing more.
Next we need to introduce ourselves in the introductory section of the forum. Here\’s where we say hi and tell a little about what we do offline.
Mention a hobby you may have, or something about your job. Be friendly and get to know these folks. Don\’t try to sell or promote at this point.
The next day you are going to return and reply to the welcomes you received from your introduction posts. Be polite and reply with a thank-you, that goes a long ways believe it.
Ok, now it is time to start looking through the posts for unanswered questions that you are able to answer. If you know the answer, give it to them.
Don\’t answer a reply like;
If you buy my e-book you will find all your answers. You don\’t want to do this. Your main objective here is to become an expert, and don\’t try sell at this time.
You\’ll want to continue answering questions on a daily basis. Spend as much time as you can answering these questions. The more quality posts you present, the more there will be an exponential effect that will build.
You are now being seen by many as an expert. And answering them questions makes you just that, an expert. You still want to refrain from putting on a sales pitch. Remember your link is in your signature, if they want to know more they will click your link.
You must be seen as an expert. If not you will never get the click, they won\’t subscribe, and they won\’t buy anything.
If you can continue to give these people quality content and information on a daily basis, builds trust and respect.
Give your readers something that they can walk away with everyday and feel good about it.
Once seen as an expert the more comfortable your readers feel with you. The more posts they read of yours the more apt they are clicking your link. They are very curious at this point.
Remember, don\’t be aggressive in forums. Don\’t mention your website or products. The more posts you make the more clicks you will get.
