Why Post in Forums to Promote an Internet Business?
Some people feel that it's a waste of time to post in various
newsgroups and forums to promote an internet business. After
all, most forums just do not allow advertising. You can't reach
many prospects at a time, and it takes way too much time to
visit them, or at least enough of them to matter, right?
WRONG!
Look at any established, successful 'netpreneuer and you will
see that most of them personally host or moderate some type
of bulletin board, plus they frequently post in others as well.
Is it just a personal pleasure? Why are they doing that when
running & promoting internet business demands so much time?
10 Reasons Why They're Doing It - They Know That:
1. they need to stay updated as the internet evolves.
2. this is often where a "Product/niche" is discovered.
3. their target market is here, both posting and "lurking".
4. posting in forums helps achieve their own
"branding".
5. helpful posting is a way to give back for help received.
6. good posting can build trust, credibility, expert status.
7. the silent power of well constructed "signature" files.
8. they can subtly refer to "products" in their post answers.
9. new contacts, joint ventures & opportunities arise here.
10. The Best Reason of them all is, they know that the
internet keyword searches can bring up their forum posts!
This often means thousands of extra visitors to a website,
which just "happens" to be in the poster's "signature file."
