Forum marketing is a great way to get traffic to your blog. First you have to find a forum in your niche. But how to find free forums in your niche? This blog post will help you find the best forums that are on the web and that are related to your niche.
1. Select the niche
Before finding the forum, you have select the niche you want to target. Niche is like a topic that you want to concentrate on. This can be anything from health to making money online. But make sure you are selecting the niche that you have some interest on. You should be able to provide information to the people in that niche. It is always best to start with one of your hobbies.
2. How To Find Free Forums In Your Niche
This is the important step and is what this post will be concentrating on. Now there are tons of forums in the web and it is impossible to join every forum. Also you cannot post in every forum actively. Even if you post in many forums, they won’t help you much unless the people reading the forum are interested in your blog or product or whatever you are promoting. So you have to be smart and find the niche that is really interested in your service. Here are the steps to follow:
- Go to Google
- Type “your niche forum”. If my niche is internet marketing, I’ll search “internet marketing forum”
- You can type with/without quotes
- Note down the forums in the first page in the same order as it is listed
- Now visit all the forums and see how many members they have, how many threads they have and how active the forums are
- Write down all the information by the side of the forums name that you have noted down
- Arrange them in such a way the forum with most number of members or threads or activity is first and followed by others in decreasing order
- Also see if the forums are free or not and note them down
- Now decide on how many forums you want to join and do so quickly
- Start answering questions in the forum and have your blog or product url in your signature (You will see a post on this tomorrow so don’t forget to come back or better subscribe to the blog so you will not miss the article)
Important Tip: Don’t spam the forum with affiliate links. Contribute to the forum.
