Everyone tries it, but very few succeed at it. Forum Marketing is one of the best ways to promote your product, service, or business opportunity but you must do it correctly.
Join the right forums - You have to make sure that the forums you belong to are active. When deciding on what forums to use, I suggest that you choose forums with an Alexa rank of at least 100,000 or above. The forum should have thousands of posts in every category and should have people consistently viewing each thread. Of course if you are a member of a forum already you should promote there, but if you should also join the high ranking ones as well.
Get "Trusted" - A member with 3 posts who starts a thread about his or her business is not going to get anywhere. Most likely the people on the forum will think negatively of this. In order to market on forums correctly you must get "trusted." Start good threads in off topic sections of the forum. Make it look like business is not your concern.
Post in sections that interest you. I like to participate in the sports section and the politics section of the forums I belong too because that's what interests me. Before moving to the business sections and before you start promoting you should have at least 300 posts. This may seem like a lot, but 300 posts can be done in a week. Actually, I've done it in 2 days. Forums are fun and if you get into a discussion that you like (this is why you should start off in topics that interest you) your post count will go up very quickly.
Good luck and much success!
I managed to build an organization of about 10,000 in 3 months. I continue to get hundreds of sponsorships each week. My business is on auto-pilot.
