Successful Viral Marketing Within Forums.
Viral Forum Marketing
In order to be successful in using forums to perform some worthwhile viral marketing there are some things that are absolutely required.
First and foremost, do Your Homework on them:
Prior to joining any forum, you must do some research.
1.) JOIN ONLY RELEVANT FORUMS.
Ones that are in some way related to your primary sales market.
Put another way, its referred to as "Niche Marketing".
Example, Someone involved with a Health Care product, would seek out some popular forums which are centered around that particular niche. It could range from Beauty products upto Holistic medicines.
You don't want to join a forum where you are selling something that is in no way associated with that forums niche.
2.) CHOOSE POPULAR FORUMS.
There is no point in wasting your time and energy on forums where there are not that many members and too few in posts.
Page ranking and the amount of active members are two good ways to check for this.
I recommend that you use Alexa.com to perform this task.
Yuwie.com has excellant forums as does Squidoo.com
3.) CHOOSE FORUMS THAT ALLOW SIGNATURE TAGS.
If it's possible read the forums' rules before joining and pay very close attention to them.
Your time is important, too. It is better to find out that a forum doesn't allow posts with signature tags before you go through the time and trouble of joining. Right? Right!
Okay, you have joined two or three forums that meet your requirements,a question remains. Now what do I do?
1.) KEEP YOUR SIGNATURE TAG SHORT AND UPDATE IT REGULARLY.
The ideal thing is to limit yourself to one link, preferably to your main website!
2.) NEVER CREATE A POST THAT IS NOTHING MORE THAN A SALES PITCH.
People are presented with sales pitches all of the time and most become numb to them at some point in time. Your goal is to grab a hold of and retain your readers attention.
Keep it interesting and people who read it will tell others about it,who just may ask you for more information. Its best you have patience and not come across as a pushy salesman or lady. I get turned off by those types.
Let your readers get to know you before anything else.
This is truly a Universal rule and immediate sales pitches only serves to display that marketers lack of experience. And this kind of posting will be deleted by the forum monitors and it is grounds for being banned in the majority of forums today.
3.) BE AN ACTIVE MEMBER OF THE FORUM.
Plan to spend at least an hour each day there and take the time to get to know the users. Take the time to introduce yourself with intelligent questions depending upon the forum's topic. You are socializing with everyone there.
You can learn alot in forums,from bloops and blunders to learning some awesome marketing tips.
Remember this important fact!
As a marketer becomes a regular member, they will develop a good reputation as long as they follow the forum rules and without even saying a word about their own product, those who are interested in their product will approach them. Thats the end-result you want from viral marketing in forums.

- 001- Crash
Tensions erupt when the tangled lives of a Brentwood housewife, her district attorney husband, a Persian shopkeeper, two cops, a pair of carjackers and a Korean couple converge over a 36-hour period in the diverse metropolis of post-9/11 Los Angeles. Sandra Bullock, Brendan Fraser, Don Cheadle, Matt Dillon, Thandie Newton and Terrence Howard co-star in this Oscar-winning Best Picture from writer-director Paul Haggis.- 002- The Departed
To take down South Boston's Irish Mafia, the police send in one of their own to infiltrate the underworld, not realizing the syndicate has done likewise in Martin Scorsese's multiple Oscar-winning crime thriller. While an undercover cop (Leonardo DiCaprio) curries favor with the mob kingpin (Jack Nicholson), a career criminal (Matt Damon) rises through the police ranks. But both sides soon discover there's a mole among them.- 003- The Bucket List
When corporate mogul Edward Cole (Jack Nicholson) and mechanic Carter Chambers (Morgan Freeman) wind up in the same hospital room, the two terminally ill men bust out of the cancer ward with a plan to experience life to the fullest before they kick the bucket. In a race against the reaper, the new friends hit the tables in Monte Carlo, down obscene amounts of caviar and tear up the road in supercharged cars. Rob Reiner directs.- 004- The Pursuit of Happyness
Will Smith earned an Oscar nomination for an inspiring performance opposite his real-life son Jaden in this tearjerker about a struggling single parent who's determined to build a better life for his family. Chris Gardner (Smith) is smart and talented, but his dead-end salesman job barely pays the bills. When he and his son are evicted, they face trying times as a desperate Chris accepts an unpaid internship at a stock brokerage firm.- 005- No Country for Old Men
A hunter (Josh Brolin) who stumbles upon a dead body, $2 million and a stash of heroin in a Texas desert absconds with the cash. But brutal thief Anton Chigurh (Javier Bardem) comes looking for it, with a local sheriff (Tommy Lee Jones) hot on his trail. The roles of prey and predator blur as violent pursuits of money and justice collide in this Oscar-winning morality tale from directors Joel and Ethan Coen, which nabbed the Best Picture prize.- 006- The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
David Fincher directs this Oscar-nominated tale of Benjamin Button (Brad Pitt) -- a man who was born old and wrinkled but grows younger as the years go by -- with a screenplay adapted from a short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald. The plot throws linear conventions upside down to explore love, loss and memory from the perspective of a character living under incredibly unique -- and unexpectedly difficult -- circumstances. Cate Blanchett co-stars.- 007- Casino Royale
Martin Campbell (GoldenEye) directs the 21st film adaptation of the 007 franchise, which marks Daniel Craig's debut as James Bond and plays him against a corrupt financier (Mads Mikkelsen) in a showdown of Texas Hold 'Em. Eva Green stars as Vesper Lynd, and the sublime Judi Dench reprises her role as M. Because the action is based on Ian Fleming's first novel, you'll also learn critical facts about Bond's back story.- 008- Little Miss Sunshine
Convinced their little Olive (Abigail Breslin) is beauty queen material, parents Richard (Greg Kinnear) and Sheryl (Toni Collette) load the rest of the family into a van and embark on a life-altering road trip to a California pageant. Richard pushes Olive to win while her silent brother (Paul Dano), depressed uncle (Steve Carell) and nursing-home reject grandpa (Alan Arkin, in an Oscar-winning role) add their own quirks to the mix.- 009- Blood Diamond
In war-ravaged Sierra Leone, diamond smuggler Danny Archer (Leonardo DiCaprio) learns that a local fisherman (Djimon Hounsou) has stumbled upon a gigantic gem, and he offers to reunite the man with his family in exchange for the diamond. When Archer befriends a journalist (Jennifer Connelly) tracing "blood diamonds" that finance terrorist groups, he's faced with a choice between riches and humanity. DiCaprio and Hounsou each earned Oscar nods.- 010- The Notebook
Two young lovers (Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams) are torn apart by war and class differences in the 1940s in this adaptation of Nicholas Sparks's best-selling novel. Their story is told by a man (James Garner) who, years later, reads from a notebook while he visits a woman in a nursing home (Gena Rowlands). Nick Cassavetes directs this heart-tugging romance about the sacrifices people will make to hang on to their one true love.- Try Netflix free for 14 days
