This next traffic method is easy
to do, you can do it daily to keep
traffic flowing, and it is an older school method that is still
effective.
Online forums are present in every niche market. These are communities
online
where your target audience is hanging out.
So, this traffic method entails
finding the hot forums for your market.
You can easily do this by going to Google and doing a search for
“your niche
forums” or “your niche and online forums”. For
example, if you are in the golf
niche you would do a search for “golf online forums”.
For this method to work best you
want to look for an online forum
community which is active. You can easily notice this by checking the
most
recent posts in that forum.
Also, you want to look at the
posts to see if there is a signature
option. So that would be a section below each post where people can put
a link
to their website. You can also check on the profile page for the users
in the
forum as they have a website feature.
Instead of putting your main
website here, you would put a link to your
squeeze page.
As you find a forum or active
online community for your market you want
to make 10 posts in this forum for this step. I would advise you to
find some
of the hotter posts out there with the most views on them. Give your
feedback
and input. Build up your rapport and authority in the group. When they
start to
see you as a contributor of good knowledge they will naturally want to
click on
the signature link or your profile link.
Never place a link to your
content in your posts. Just make sure you set
it up in your signature or profile.
You can have success doing this
with just one popular forum. You can
find one or two forums in your marketplace to build up your authority.
Don’t
get lost in there, but spend time giving valuable advice, and people
will want
to connect with you.
Day #11 Assignment: Find a popular
forum or online community in your niche market, and setup your account.
Make 10
posts in there by responding to the most popular threads in the forum.
You can
easily make this a daily habit and post 5 to 10 times. Even finding
other
forums if you want to do more work. Just imagine after one month of
posting 10
times per day you would have 300 places that your link is displayed on
a
popular website focused around your market!
