The Internet Marketing blog of Mike Merz, Internet Marketing consultant, in regards to what's hot ... and what's not, in the world of Internet Marketing.
Regularly interacting in Online Forums related to the niche your promotions target is a great way to expose yourself ... and build credibilty.
Of course, it goes without saying that your participation must be helpful and informative (save the promotion for your signature ... if allowed).
The problem I often face is remembering all the forums I've registered with over the years, not to mention the threads I've been involved in. :P
Honestly, I developed
The IM4Newbies Internet Marketing Forum Directory for my own personal use, initially ... in an effort to keep track of the forums I frequent, without having to resort to bookmarks.
Even so, the directory didn't help in regards to quickly finding the threads I was involved in, nor the logins.
So when I found out about
Russell Brunson's Forum Fortunes post management software, I figured I'd give it a whirl.
Before setting it up, I actually balked for a moment ... figuring it to be nothing more than a forum spamming tool (which I wouldn't touch with a ten foot poll!) ...
I was wrong. Russell's software is an organizer ... an automation tool ... I was able to actively post and respond to numerous messages in dozens of forums in a fraction of the time.
After sending Russell a letter of thanks, I decided I'd sit down and share my find with you ... if you participate in multiple forums, this is something you're going to want to check out.
Give
Forum Fortunes a looksee, and take Russell up on his free master resell rights offer.
