If you are a problem solver, then the Internet is a great place to hang out. Forums in particular will allow you to shine as an expert and your knowledge will be applauded and acknowledged by the number of visitors to your site and responses to your comments. Topics get discussed 24-7 so there is always an active thread going that you can jump right in and get involved. Here you will find loads of questions being asked and various comments from other users.

If you can add value either through your comment of through your solution you are on to a winner and other forum users will take notice of you for all the right reasons.

One smart way to use forums it to just hang out and see where some problems appear to be unsolved or the solutions presented are not very satisfactory.

If you know of a particular solution to the problem then

  • firstly put that solution on your site and direct other forum users to your site where they will get access to this info. or a product you can recommend to them.
  • Alternatively put together a list of key questions concerning a particular topic and compile a list of the best answers in your own words. Anything not properly resolved, go and find the answer yourself.
  • Then create a squeeze page and have people opt in where they will get access to your free report. If your report is good, people will recommend it to other forum users.
  • If you develop your own solution and it becomes a paid product or whether you direct others to a product through your affiliate link, it is a win win situation.

By branding yourself as an expert in your field and providing good advice and solving problems people will naturally listen to what you say and when you pose a solution they will be happy to go along with it. Always remember though to collect the names and emails of the forum users you help out so you can build further relationships with them.

By continuing to help out at forums, not only are your historical comments there which will generate long term traffic but your current comments and solutions will keep you fresh in the minds of other forum users. This will ultimately bring more traffic and resulting increased income to your site.

Personally my experience of forums has been very rewarding and I have received a number of personal emails. I am always glad to help.

Got a question-just reply below and I shoot an answer straight back to you! :)

 


If someone tapped you on the shoulder, and handed you the EXACT system they used to make money, would you stop to listen or would you say "here we go again, another sales pitch". I don't blame you. I felt exactly the same way .There is no magic bullet to success but there are loads of shortcuts you can take when you are shown and taken by the hand until you succeed. Would this help?
