My number one RULE for making profit from forum marketing is: Join the RIGHT forum.
One can have the most fantastic product in the whole world but if they market it to the wrong crowd, the result I believe is next to none!
Success in marketing and advertising requires focus, and joining the right forum means focus.
The profit that you make from there on is just a way of keeping score.
In a forum, what’s the most important step you MUST take?
Include your Signature or ‘Siggy’.
I ‘worded’ my signature to represent my brand and my main biz.
I kept the link to one website, two at most, with a combination of my index page and a blog.
I’m now testing the effectiveness of ‘Splash page’ and ‘Squeeze page’ linked from a Sig file.
This also implies that having your own website IS important.
What else did I do?
I introduce myself in the appropriate section.
I respond to fellow forumers posts.
I post useful content and info, and get their respond.
I use the forum Ad Board and pitch my offer.
And I make a post in Blatant Ads section – but not too often 
What I didn’t do?
I didn’t post my ads right after I sign-up for a furum.
Not even on a free Ads forum…

Hi there Jake!
Thanks for stopping by this blog. This is not a forum so what you leave here is not a thread.
It is a comment.
Feel free to search around the blog for traffic tips. I believe you will find tons of them.
But here’s the thing…
I remove ‘click-ability’ of your Squidoo lens because like yourself, there are people who are not qualify to get their own drink reading this blog i.e. underage as I make sure all my nephew and niece bookmark this blog.
I also ‘unlink’ your e-mail add.
You want to do that also in the future to avoid spammer trawls from setting their attention on you.
Happy reading and may you find what you are looking for here!
