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.
