Forum Marketing

Forum marketing should be an essential part of your marketing breakfast. Forums are communities where users frequently browse the content and are often interested in what others have to say, whether about business or not.
One thing you absolutely must keep in mind when posting in forums is that you must build your reputation at least a bit (usually by partaking in unrelated discussions) before posting about your business opportunity.
You mustn’t start a thread with just your referral link in it saying how great your program is is! This will more than likely get you banned immediately! Usually you post the general link to the site and tell them to PM you for your personal link.
Each forum has a different set of rules that you must absolutely follow if you do not want readers to doubt your credibility. Generally, forums will have a section to post your business opportunity, or have a blogging section where you can regularly update your content and catch people’s attention by writing interesting articles (whether short or long) about your business
A neat thing to do (assuming it does not go against the forum rules) is to put your referral link in your signature. This way, every time you post, anyone reading the thread you are in will be a potential visitor to your website. You can then post in popular discussions to get more and more exposure.
Remember that content is key. If you actually create an interesting discussion involving your business, the thread will be seen that much more often than if you simply post the compensation plan and how much money can be made.

There are many forums out there, here are some of the most popular.
