You need to actively take part in the forum and be able to provide your own opinion about topics that may be discussed in the forum. Also you need to be able to answer the other members’ questions without wanting anything in return. All of these while you are visiting, the site will help you grow your reputation as an expert on the subject that you are trying to promote.
2. Hiring Services
You can also consider, although it is not recommended, hiring a team of qualified writers. These writers can do the posting in the forums for you in a well-written manner. Outsourcing your posts should be done with extreme caution though because it can disqualify you as an expert therefore you will lose valuable sales. Most internet marketers recommend that you skip this step and do all the posting that is required in person. This will allow you to keep your status as expert and therefore you will receive more visitors to your site.
3. Signature

This signature link can become a permanent link that you can use for all your posts. This will allow the other members of the forum to click on your signature and visit your site. Usually when they click on your signature line they sign up on your site and also sometimes will purchase the item you are trying to sell. Signature lines are a very important part of forum marketing.
Forums are considered the greatest way to gain traffic to your site without spending little or no money on advertising. In order to be successful, you need to follow these steps. Once you do this you will be raking in the visitors as well as the income in no time.
