i disagree. forums are good source of backlinks and traffic. good backlinks and traffic can mean money if your selling, or doing ppc affiliates like adsense, kontera, etc..

Posting on forums cannot make you rich, but interacting with other members on a forum can surely show you the path to success, that's what a community is all about. We are here to help each other.

Well I know I am experiencing problems to view sites in the states for the entire day now, form South Africa, maybe it is related.

Perhaps give Google cache a go?

Marketing yourself with tips and tricks
Posted in Marketing by Sasha on the December 23rd, 2006

When you got your first pc you were very excited, I know that I was. Day by day you learned new stuff about it and at certain time in your life you started to wonder if you could sell your knowledge about computers. Besides your friends who is going to pay for your services?

If you were smart then you have joined some marketing forums and started to learn how to market stuff (and stuff includes yourself too).

But joining forums and reading won’t help you much, you have to make yourself stand out, your posts need to be well written with perfect grammar and spelling. You must show that your knowledge isn’t questionable, and you must prove that you are very good at what you do. Marketing yourself is very hard, harder than trying to market you product, because every mistake will get you one step backwards and we all know that forward steps are not so easy to accomplish especially in online marketing so be careful, don’t mess up what you have worked for.

I have already mentioned that you must posses knowledge but that alone won’t get your name out there. Here are a couple of online marketing tips that could and should help you market yourself:

* use your real name in forums
* put your website in your signature
* build portfolio
* always be polite
* learn more about online marketing

You must have noticed that I have focused this article in one single direction and that is marketing yourself online through forums. Marketing and webmaster forums are a great way to sell your knowledge and make a lot of money if you are good at what you do. These forums grow very fast and they always have a member or two that could need your services.

Many of you won’t use your real name in forums but you should, I know many people by their name because of forums and I always connect their names to certain services that they are capable of doing. Just browse around forums and you will notice what I am talking about. I think that we covered some basic online marketing or better said forum marketing tips.

There are a lot of other things that you should do but these tips will get you started. I will cover other techniques in other articles so bookmark my homepage and be good until next time.

50 posts to have my signature enabled. And when that happens its a success for me!

[Natural Elements]

Signature link most of the time is a good way to show one side of what you are doing, but to get rich lol I don't think so. More post, more information, more help.

If is posible get rich..please show me how!

I see lot members having around 400 posts, are they rich?

No offence to anybody here but the number of posts in a forum doesn't mean anything. I know a lot of people who have 3K+ posts in various marketing forums and still don't know what they are talking about. And, then there are people who post little but make millions.

You don't have to look at their number of post, look at their answers and questions and how they conduct themselves and it's pretty easy to guess who's who..

Judging someone's expertise by the number of their posts isn't one of the best strategies out there.

All Best,
Ana

good point!
I actually had in mind that noone should talk just for the sake of talking... or write a simple hello or thanks... but improve its knowledge and after a thousand post which could take years, a guy should be knowledgable and successfull.

I myself couldn t write even 20 posts a day so it takes a long time to get to an hundred! I'm still not successfull but well it depends what successfull means

[Ferre]

I used to be successfull in business, that was before I retired and now I have the time for stuff like forum posting and maintaining non profit websites.
