Every time you hear forum marketing tips you get the same over used trick "Put Your link On The Forum Signature File", which is a good advice but is not a killer marketing tactic only if you use it in a different way which you can read on the forum marketing trick part 2. Right now I'm going to let you get the insider long lost forum marketing trick of all times.
Do the top Internet Marketing Gurus know about this old ultimate trick? Well, the answer to that question is a big YES...
Actually some of them didn't want me to reveal this exclusive secret that have the power to do the prospecting and pre-selling for you with a 567% better income generating results than any type of signature file you can ever use...
So, how you can be able to turn forums into a better direct marketing tool?
By using the Forum Question and Answer trick
Top marketers has been using this technique to promote their own products and products from an affiliate partner for years and they never though this tactic will come out to the open, until now.
This is the way it works:
For faster results first you need to find a forum or newsgroup very closely related to the affiliate product you are promoting, then you will sign-up for the niche forum using 2 or 3 different email accounts and you need to set them up like this:
- First one is the person with the question
- Second one is the one answering or recommending
- Third one is the testimonial (person who owns the product) with a strong recommendation.
NOTE: First become part of the community by giving your advice, answering questions, asking questions, writing comments or feedback, and point of view. For at least a month or a few weeks...
The Question: Here you need to ask something in a desperate way (This is the title of your post) like: "My anniversary is in 5 days, can you point me to...?" Make them click to read the rest by using the surprise effect that entices a problem on your questions.
On the body tell why you are looking for it, what are you looking for it, and when you need it? And always leave a feeling of urgency on all your messages. Remember to talk about the problem and that you need a solution ASAP.
The Answer: Here you need to talk a little bit about the problem and recommend two or three solutions (your affiliate links). Never mention only one or it will look like marketing to the members.
You can recommend an article about the problem which is on your blog, a review of the merchant or merchants who have the solution. And a link direct to a different affiliate product that can also solve the problem. This way you have three chances to show your affiliate links and make a profit from.
The Testimonial: Here the pre-sell story from someone that solve his problem by using one of the merchants mention on the "Answer". Don't over do it or will look like a promotion.
Why this technique is so effective? Because it look like a regular forum posting where someone has a problem and get help tips from forum members.
SUPER TIP: Don't over use this technique, and do not put your signature file promoting the same things. You can link to your personal blog or main social media profile if you want...
All the best,
