Forums or discussion groups are a great source of training for you, as well as an endless supply of leads for your work from home business. If you’re unfamiliar with forums or how to use them to get leads for your business, we’ll take a look at that now.
An online forum is a public meeting place for open discussion of various topics. You can join a forum to be part of the discussion. You can join forums that offer work from home and network marketing groups or go to a broader forum like internet marketing.
Many forums have various topics that provide prospects for your business as they are all online marketers looking to make more money. Some of them might have prior mlm experience, but many of them don’t.
Joining a forum only takes a couple of minutes. You will register with your personal data. You can also create a username and address for your website. Once you’re approved, you can go back and edit your profile to include more detailed personal information.
You can also include a signature file if the forum allows it. This will be 2-4 short lines where you can include your name, website URL, and a short announcement about your business. Hyperlink keywords are another way to get traffic for specific words by sending that link to your website URL.
You should be sure and read the forum rules and FAQ section before you start posting on a forum. One of the biggest no-no’s is making your advertising post out in the wild. The other is to include your website URL in your posts. That’s what your signature file is for.
Forum marketing takes some time and effort to start paying off and generating leads for your mlm business. You have to be part of the forum. The only way to do that is to participate in the discussions. Posting questions and responding to posts is the way to do it.
Over time, the number of posts you make will start to add up. Other members will get used to seeing you and you will start to develop relationships with them. Some of them will click on your website and visit it. As they do, you’ll gain new prospects, leads, customers, and distributors.
Forum marketing is great for mlm distributors who have more time than money to build their business. Use it to generate leads and traffic to your website.
