Tips on Marketing Using Forums
By Matt Bacak

If you have a product that you are trying to get leads from but are failing there is hope for you. I recently was approached by a student of mine who had a website selling diet pills. As you know, this market is very competitive. However, if you know how to market well and build strong relationships with your audience, it is possible to penetrate such a market.

The owner of this site failed to get leads. They were focused on getting at least 100 leads and wanted to know what methods they could use that did not include writing articles or using pay-per-click advertising or any other form of paid advertising.

This may sound like an impossible feat but it’s not. Although article writing and distribution is a very successful method of marketing your website, some choose not to simply because it takes too long. Others fail to use paid advertising because they don’t have the budgets for it. Although I do think article writing and paid advertising are excellent methods, there are other methods you can use.

Forums are an excellent way to market and get the word out about your website. This would work very well in the market of diet and weight loss. Joining conversations in forums can make you an authority in your niche, thus giving you better access to your market and to potential customers. Definitely go to forums and communicate with people by offering information that you do know can help them with their problems or concerns. Remember, you do not sit there and them magically appear on the forum and say:”I have a great product. Go fill out this form here.” Don’t do that. What you want to do is put a link down in your bio or your resource box, driving them to your website.

Forums or message boards allow you to get the biggest reaction from your audience. You also get to instantly learn about what’s new in your market and the problems that people are experiencing in any given niche. Using forums and message boards won’t give you 100 leads per day but would most likely give you that amount in a month’s time. But whatever you do, take action as soon as possible to start gaining an edge in your market.

Forums can really excel your business to the next level if you use them correctly. Good luck!
