How to post at forums − for PROFIT

Every day hundreds of thousands of people visit the online marketing forums and make postings.

Many are trying to promote their site − however their methods are so ineffective it is no wonder they complain that promotion via forums does not work for them.

But in truth you can get dozens if not hundreds of replies from a single posting − if you do it right.

Let's take a look at the various ways that people make postings, starting from the most unacceptable and ending with an entry which even the strictest forum moderator will enthusiastically approve.

Example 1:
Your post says

I've just found a really cheap web hosting
company,
Fred

This is a blatant ad (spam) and will be removed.

Forums − the best place to start

One of the biggest turning points since I began Internet marketing has been
my discovery of the online forums (or discussion groups or bulletin boards as
they are also called).

There are 4 major reasons why people use forums

1) You can get free advice. For example
· ask about any aspect of marketing
  ask for opinions about a product before purchasing or about a business  opportunity or affiliate program you plan to join
· ask for a site review

2) You can discover new products, ideas, tips, tools
