Don't Forget Forum Marketing for Affiliate Profits

Forum marketing is a free way to boost traffic to your affiliate offerings that takes little time or effort and yields good results. People gather online at discussion boards or forums to discuss ideas, offer advice and exchange useful information about thousands of different subjects.

When you add a message to the forum, it is called a post. By posting meaningful comments on forums related to your affiliate offerings and including your link, you can generate significant traffic to your landing pages and websites.

Certain forums will allow you to post and use a link or signature to your offerings while others allow you to include a link in your bio but not in each post. Other forums may not allow direct affiliate links but you can link to your landing page or website.

To join a forum or discussion group, you just need to provide your name and an email address and then you can make posts and comment on posts made by other members. By joining forums and discussion groups, you are actually networking online to ensure ongoing business expansion and profits.

According to Merriam Webster, networking is the exchange of information or services among individuals, groups, or institutions. By networking on forums you can build a reputation, become well-known as an expert in a particular area and drive more traffic to your web site.

For the best results, you need to make relevant comments and pertinent posts on a regular basis to establish an ongoing presence on the forum. There are literally thousands of forums to choose from and you should select groups that relate to your affiliate offerings and that have a significant number of members for maximum exposure.

A great place to start posting is Yahoo Answers because it's free, it attracts millions of visitors and you can include a link to your website in your postings. Users ask questions and you can answer them by offering useful information along with an affiliate link for additional information.

By posting in forums, you can appreciate increased traffic and affiliate earnings without spending a dime.
