Traffic Building With Forums - Step By Step III

Here is an example of a good introductory post:
Hi! Just wanted to stop in and introduce myself. I have been interested in (your niche) for some time now, and just wanted to see if I could help out some here, and maybe ask a few questions, too.

I live in (your city or country) and I like to (your hobbies).

Hope I can be of some help here - drop me a line if you care.

That's about all.

Then go to the other forums, using similar introductory posts.

4) The next day you should have several 'welcome' response posts. Go into each forum and personally answer each post to you.

5) The next day, you can begin to do some of the hard work. Go into each of the forums, and look for questions that have been recently asked, especially some that have not been answered yet by anyone. Choose 5 questions per forum, and answer the question for them. If you don't know the answer to something - find it out, and then give them the answer. Do not answer more than 5 per day per forum - you do not want to appear to be spamming, just genuinely helpful.

6) Every day, log on and go to each of the forums, looking for new posts to answer questions in. After some period of time, people will begin to feel like you are experienced in your niche (and after researching and answering all those questions, you probably are more experienced than you were when you began!). They will begin to ask you questions specifically. They will begin to check out your web site. They will begin to subscribe to your newsletters and email lists.

The new people that come into the forum will see that you have many of the answers to people's questions; they will see that you have many informative posts and will naturally assume that you know what you are talking about.

The key for you is to be diligent, attempting to post daily. You have to be patient, as the traffic will not come right away. But once the traffic comes, it will be strong traffic - it will tend to be highly responsive traffic. You will have built a relationship with the people in the forums, and they will see you as an 'expert' in your field, and will be much more likely to be responsive on your email list or to your sales pages than colder traffic.

True Internet Marketing Experts Are Humble, You Should Be The Best At It

Ok, the headline of this article/post is supposed to be amusing. I'm not the best at anything except for being me. French Guiana Email List It's natural to put some internet marketing experts on a pedestal because you think they know more than you. If and when you get to a point where you think you have reached that level of success, you cannot rest easy here. Once you get "there" you must keep your humility at the ready, and wear it like a suit. The more you know about something, the more you realize just how much there is you don't know. There are people who have made millions of dollars online and they're still "one of the guys". (I'm not politically correct enough to mangle a cliché of a phrase to please everyone). The reason they remain highly successful is they keep themselves in tune with what the majority of their customers and clients are doing. Do you want to be a millionaire, too? Then do as the millionaires do. As things progress with
