1) Adding REAL value within your posts

The key to being successful as a Forum Marketer is to provide value and give back to the community. The more quality (spam free) posts you make, the more people will trust you. The more people trust you, the more they want to know about you, and that will take them directly to your forum signature.

Use some of the "General" knowledge that you learn at Wealthy Affiliate and give back to forum communities. Just don't give away the juicy stuff because that's for everyone here at WA only.

2) Join in with busy and popular conversations

In all forums there are always discussions that become very popular and generate many views and replies. These represent an ideal opportunity for you to contribute to the discussion, which in turn will increase your chances of getting MANY clicks through to your affiliate link/website.

3) Share your success with others

If you've got a success story, or an accomplishment that is relevant to Internet Marketing, post it in forums! People love hearing about success as it is a great motivator. If you post about your successes, and have a signature that leads back to your WA affiliate ID or your website, you're going to hit it big time!

Posting about success is great for a forum because it motivates others, and allows you to tell someone about your accomplishments. It can feel great to make a good success post and be congratulated by others.
