Online Income: Use Forums to Make Money


by Andrew Holtom

If you're looking to make online income from home then you should know about forums. They are an excellent media for advertising products and are something that should be added to your sales arsenal if you are already selling a product.

For those who haven't come across them yet, forums are online communities where members share opinions and provide support to help each other on different topics.

Here are the steps that you need to take to make some online income:

Before you can make the best use of any forum, you should first take a look at what their terms of use are. For example you may not yet qualify to add a link to your signature. The signature is usually placed at the end of your comment and it is a great spot to add a link to either your own website or an affiliate link. After making several comments, you could then be able to add a signature with a link.

Take the time to get familiar with the forums that will suit your product. Some forums are larger than others, the bigger the forum, the more people are likely to see your product.

When you create your account, be sure to make the most of the fields available. Tell people a little about yourself and build the profile so that it is suited to your interest.

Start posting by either asking or answering questions. You may need to post a certain number of times before you are allowed to use a signature with a link in it.

You won't need to actually promote anything in your comments. All you have to do is to be helpful to people. Go the extra mile to provide them with the information that they are looking for. This will encourage people to click on your signature to find out more about you.

Be very clear in your comments and posts. The clearer that you are, the easier it will be for people to understand what you are writing and your points. It's your chance to show your expertise in that particular topic.

Be generous in your posts. There should be no reason to attack anybody and if you are wrong in a discussion, then apologise. Your role in the forum is to build credibility so that you can make some online income.

If there is an opportunity to submit your blog posts or other articles, make the best use of this. You'll be able to provide extra information to the members, and you will come across as a better problem solver.

There are a couple of forums where you can market your products and services freely. These forums are very popular with internet marketers, who may even make good contacts for more sales.

If you are really serious about making an online income then you may want to consider starting your own forum. You will need to put in a lot of hard work, but the results will be worth it. You will get a large stream of targeted traffic coming through to your site after a while. You will be able to make an online income from your own banner advertising or by adding Google Adsense.
