Print this Article
In order to be successful using forums to do viral marketing
there are some things that are required. Do Your Homework:
Prior to joining any forum, you must do some research.

1. Join relevant forums that are in some way related to the
promotion’s primary sales market. For example, someone involved
with a health related product, many types of forums could
apply….everything from holistic medicine to stay-at-home
moms.
2. Choose popular forums. There is no point in wasting your
time and energy on forums that few members and few posts. Page
raking and the amount of active members are two good ways to
check for this.
3. Choose forums that allow signature tags. If it’s possible
read the rules before joining and pay attention to them. Your
time is important, too. It is better to find out that a forum
doesn’t allow posts with signature tags before you go to the
time and trouble of joining.
After You Have Joined: OK…you have chosen two or three forums
that meet your requirements…now what?
1. Keep your signature tag short and update it regularly. The
ideal thing is to limit yourself to one link, preferably to
your main website.
2. Never create posts that are nothing more than an
advertisement. This all but a universal rule and only displays
the marketer's lack of experience if he does so. At best this
kind of post will be deleted by the monitors….at worst, it is
grounds for being banned.
3. Work the room. Be an active member on the forum. Plan to
spend at least an hour each day there and take the time to get
to know the users. Take the time to introduce yourself with
intelligent questions depending upon the forum’s topic.
As a marketer becomes a regular member, they will hopefully
develop a good reputation and without saying a word about their
promotion, those who are interested in their product will
approach them.
