How to make a lot of money using simple clickbank using Forum Marketing method. Although it seems simple but very much effective.
“I don’t care what other say but Forum
Marketing still WORKS and I will take even the slightest amount of traffic/visitors”.
Over the years of tracking clicks and traffic, I have noticed that some of the highest quality traffic to my pages are coming from forums.Not much. Around 30 highly targeted visitors a day. But still. I would rather take less and high quality traffic, than no traffic at all.
I mean, all it takes is just 4 to 6 strategically posted
messages a day spending only 15 minutes each day.
That’s it. No more, no less. The only difference is that I do my postings a little bit
different than other marketers. And I will show you exactly how in this lesson.
Most of these visitors became my email subscribers. Some of
them became repeat buyers of my own or affiliate products. So those who are telling you that Forum Marketing doesn’t
work or not worth the time are simply plain WRONG!
They are either lazy or without getting instant results
themselves give up and move on looking for another shiny traffic source.
Now think about it for a second…
What kind of person will take time to register on a message
board and spend hours upon hours of reading and consuming information?
Obviously a person that is:
Hungry
Passionate about the topic
Looking for a fast solution to his problem
Most of the time is ready to pay money if that would solve
his problem and relief from pain
You can’t get more motivated crowd than
that, right?
Obviously, forum marketing doesn’t have to
be your main traffic source, but why leave money on the table when you can just
put it into your pocket?
And even if you already have some basic knowledge about
Forum Marketing, stay with me to the end as I have some really cool tricks to
share with you that could triple or even quadruple your forum traffic with the
same amount of effort you put in. Finding forums
NOTE: In this lesson I will use Warrior Forum and Internet Marketing
niche as an example, but bear in mind that all of these strategies can be
easily applied to any niche or a forum. These rules are pretty much universal.
One of the easiest ways of finding big forums is by using
Google.
Let’s say you promote “Make
Money Online”
affiliate offers.
Let’s open up Google and type: “internet
marketing forum” in the search box:
Usually you don’t want to register/signup on all of
them. Very often “less more”.
Meaning, you will achieve better results by finding just ONE
(the most trafficked forum in your niche) and becoming an active member.
How to know which forum is the most popular and receive the
maximum amount of traffic/visitors?
Simple. You can use Alexa.com.
Let’s type warriorforum.com in the
Alexa.com search box and see what comes up:
As you see, Warrior Forum is the 224th most visited website
on the internet and 149th most visited site in the United States. That should
be a lot of traffic.
Now let’s type dreamteammoney.com and see
what Alexa shows us this time…
Even though dreamteammoney.com ranks higher on Google, it’s
only the 6,472th most visited website on the internet.
Way behind warriorforum.com. So now we know that…
…Google doesn’t rank
sites by traffic
I did the same research with the other forums but no other
forum can beat warriorforum.com when it comes to traffic. Obviously this is
where you should create an account if you operate in the Internet
Marketing/Make Money Online niche.
You can apply the same rule for finding big boards in almost
any niche.
Just before you register, make sure to check if they allow
you to add a signature file.
If they don’t – move on to the second most
trafficked forum.
We want forums that allow us to place links inside the
signature and syphon their quality traffic!
Adding a signature link
I will use WarriorForum as an example just to quickly show
you how to add your signature file.
Adding a signature is not a rocket since really so I won’t
go into much details.
Step 1. When you log-in, click on your name as shown below.
Step 2. Click on “Customize Profile”.
Step 3. Click on “Edit Signature”.
And we land on a page similar to this. This is where we add
our signature text + link.
Write a catchy signature
Catchy signature is one of the key to getting high amount of
clicks on Forums.
Your click number will also depend on:
Quality of your posts
Uniqueness of your signature
Relevance of your signature to the thread you are posting on
Profile authority (number of posts, thanks and etc.)
But we will talk about this later. Now let’s
discuss on what will make your signature attractive and get forum members to
click on.
After 3 years of testing I have found a combination of
things that work incredibly well. Signatures which are:
Very specific
Very detailed
With weird numbers
Benefit based
Curiosity driven
With a clear call to action
Using a word “Free”
…always win. And win in ANY given
niche.
A great signature text is the same as a great email subject
line that makes us click. In fact, going through your email box and
swiping/modelling a catchy subject line is sometimes enough to have a very high
click through rate signature.
Here are a few great examples in the Internet Marketing

Make your signature stand out
If a forum allow to make a signature look unique and stand
out from the rest of the crowd either by changing font face, size, colors or
even adding symbols like ► ● → or a picture –
DO IT!
They stand out big!
Do not direct link to an affiliate offer!
I see you are adding your affiliate link! STOP right now, no
matter how tempting it is.
Here are a few reasons why:
Most forums hate affiliate links and will completely remove
an option to add a signature on your account. You don’t want
that.
Conversions will be horrible. Especially if you promote high
priced products like Clickbank.
You will see much better results by directing your signature
clickers to a free pdf report, blog post or a video review presell blog.
Hands down, in my opinion, the best option would be to send
them to your lead capture page and collect email addresses.
This will let you to warm up your prospect and later push
the affiliate offer more than once through your email follow up messages. It’s
tested and proven to work.
3 tips for effective forum posting
Now that you have your signature in place, it’s
time for people to see it.
There are three golden rules I like to follow to save my
time, energy and achieve the most exposure of the signature.
TIP #1: Post on popular threads.
There is a quick way of seeing which threads are or will be
popular.
How?
Well… Look at the “Views”!
You can easily spot popular threads by the number of views
those threads get.
Many forums have this cool feature.
who reply – bingo, you have a nice exposure of
your signature.
TIP #2: Revive an older super popular thread.
Another cool strategy is to revive an older super popular
thread.
Just browse through the page 2 and 3 and look for threads
with hundreds of views and
By the nature, these kinds of threads always attract a lot
of viewers.
Just post a quality reply and leave it there.
TIP #3: Create your own thread and provide insane value.
Creating your own new thread and sharing tips, case studies
or experience is an excellent way to get your signature noticed. It’s
like posting a blog post and getting instant traffic without any promotion!
Why this strategy works so well?
Think about it….
If your post was helpful and many people enjoyed it, they
are more likely to click on your signature and check out what you offer.
The trust bar goes up and it also builds authority in the
community.
Just make sure your thread is somehow relevant to your
signature.
Kim Roach likes to use this strategy on a Warrior Forum a
lot. Very smart 🙂
The above thread was viewed over 1,421 times!
How’s that for some exposure?
What I like about this neat tactic that it doesn’t
really matter how much posts you have. You can be a totally new on the forum.
What matters the most is the quality of your messages and
the value you provide to the community members.
Conclusion
Remember. Forum marketing is all about working smart not
hard.
