Forum Cash

Forum marketing presents a great opportunity for everyone to make money online and it is definitely a good way to earn some money when starting out. Forum marketing is very commonplace, and there are many Internet marketers leveraging the potential of forums to earn $1000s online.

There are 1000s of forums out there ranging from topics such as dieting to electronics to model airplanes and making money. There is a forum for just about anything you can imagine, and this presents a fantastic opportunity for marketers.

The great thing about forums is that people are looking for answers to questions or solutions to their problems. You can take advantage of this by offering something that will help people solve these problems. All you need to do is promote relevant products through your signature in forums. To give yourself credibility you should be a regular contributor to the forums and provide valuable content.

Here is a list of forums that you could easily promote Wealthy Affiliate within:

SitePoint.com
Abestweb.com
Warriorforum.com/forum
Affiliate-talk.com

You want to make sure that when you promote in a forum that it is not obvious or it will be deemed to be spam. Again, you should make sure that you offer value with high quality posts that are relevant to the discussion. As with any other marketing attempt, relevancy is your key. You would have a very difficult time trying to promote something like a dieting product in an Internet marketing forum, so keep your content and your product offerings highly relevant to the forum.

Forum marketing is a great way to build up some cash without the expenditure of your own money. You can easily make a full time income by forum marketing if you have knowledge within a specific area or are willing to research an industry!

Yahoo! Answers

Some of the bigger networks such as Yahoo are adding "question and answer" components to their networks. These sites provide a great opportunity for us as Internet marketers because we can not only help people out with their questions, we can also monetize (make money from) our participation by recommending a product in our response.

Here is how it works:

1. Someone creates a profile at Yahoo Answers and posts a question. This question could range from earning extra money, to the best way to lose weight before going on vacation.
   
   
2. It is time for you to go to work now, but first you must have a profile in order to do this, and you can set these up using the following link:

   Yahoo Answers

3. Offer a quality response to the question. You can do this by researching the topic. If someone is looking to earn extra money online, you could recommend them to Wealthy Affiliate and give them the reasons why it will help. You could even offer to help them within Wealthy Affiliate by giving them your forum name. You can do the same with someone looking to lose weight by sending them to a site like ediets.com (through your affiliate link) and give the reason why.

You will want to make sure that you offer value within your "answer". If you think that you can just spam and make money by doing it, you are going to get booted off these networks very quickly. In some cases, you may be required to do a redirect to your affiliate link. If this is the case, we suggest you do this with our free link cloaking and analytics tool, My-Linker.
