Ways To Earn Extra Cash - Forum Marketing

What if there were ways to earn extra cash without writing articles? Would you be interested? IF you read my last post about ways to earn extra cash with article marketing you would see that although it is a free method of marketing it could be time consuming. Today I am going to talk about the power of Forum Marketing. Imagine having the ability to have the same effect of article marketing in half the time! Well it’s true and it is with forum marketing.

Many people join forums for the knowledge and expertise however, forums can be a major source of additional income. There are thousands of forums out there to join in many different categories. Most people go to forums to seek out information, however the ways to make money are often overlooked.

One of the ways to make money with forums is to post on topics of interest, and refer traffic to website or blog. You can become an expert in your niche. Then post topics of interest in your area of expertise. It would probably be a good idea to lurk around first and find out the type of language they use get your name out there. Then once you have made somewhat of a name for yourself you can go out and start to promote what ever it is you want to promote.


If you don’t have a website then you can still post in treads and advertise with your signature. Many forums allow to put your website or affiliate links in the signature section of your post. If you target the type of people you are trying to sell to, by answering their questions they are likely to see your link, and if it’s interesting they’ll click on it (and if the product you are representing is worth anything you may make a sale). The more you target your potential prospects, and the more specific you are the better your chances of making the sale.

Still don’t get it? Ok consider this 5 post to 5 different forums a day = 25 posts a day (this is being really conservative). 25 posts a day for 30 days = 750 posts for one month.
750 posts a month for 6 months = 4500 posts. That’s 4500 posts to potential highly targeted traffic if you do this right. Surely you can make some sales from 4500 views. Now there is a variable here, I must admit. Lets say for example you write 4500 quality post and you receive a very conservative 2 views from every post you submit. That’s 4500 x 2 views each = 9000 views. That’s highly targeted visitors to your site or affiliate link. With that many targeted views I’m sure you can find some ways to earn extra cash.
