How to Profit from Online Forums

As you may know, online forum is a website where people gather and engage in discussion in niche topics.

Forums are also known as message board, bulletin board, discussion forums, discussion boards, or online community.

There are all sort of forum for every niche under the sun: weight loss, sexuality, money management, celebrity, self improvement, knitting etc.

Do you know that online forums are actually goldmine for Internet marketers?

When done right, forums can make you ton of cash. Now before you hit the back button, I am not suggesting that you spam the forums. If you use the following strategies, I will be very surprised if you are not making money at all.

Now, before you start marketing in any forum, remember this golden rule: your contribution has to provide value to the forum members.

Period.

Before you post, ask yourself, “is my answers useful to the member?”

If not, don’t even bother.

Never include any affiliate links in your post as it is frowned upon by many forum moderators.

Customer Is ALWAYS Right - Or Is He?

Conventional business wisdom states that the customer is always right. He can do no wrong. We are the service provider. We listen. We serve.

Spot on? Or BULL?

For me, I try to give value and go the extra mile for every client and partner I work with.

As much as I can, I try to accede to every request that is within my means and the scope of the working agreement. Because if I can make them happy, I have a loyal customer - for life!

And that customer can refer another customer to me and so on. It grows from there…

Having said that, customers can be a real PAIN in the ARSE! Especially when their demand goes overboard.

Case in point.

I offer a bonus package to a product I was promoting. Anyone that buys through me, gets a value-added bonus on top of a cash rebate.

This particular guy bought through me. Fair enough. I delivered everything that I promised. Even he couldn’t deny that.
