If you think that social marketing is the only cheapest way to market your MLM business, then think again.
There’s another way. And that’s forum marketing.
Forum marketing is a great way to not only generate leads for your MLM business, but it also helps you position yourself as an authority in the industry.
Want to learn how to do it? Here are a few tips to help you get started:
1. Give value to the conversation
You see an ongoing thread in a forum where most members are your potential target market. Contribute to the discussion.
But make sure that it’s related to the topic.
If the members are talking about weight loss, then talk about weight loss. Don’t try to change the topic just because you want to promote your MLM business.
Stick to the topic. That way, you’ll gain their trust and confidence.
2. Add signature line
Some forums allow signature line at the bottom of your posts. Most forum posters take advantage of this feature to promote their products and services.
Then why don’t you do the same? Create a hyperlink that will direct people to your landing page. But make sure that your hyperlink is compelling enough for your prospects to click through.
So you may want to reconsider the “Click this link to check out my products and services” phrase you initially put there.
3. Contribute to ongoing discussions
Check new and ongoing threads that you know you can contribute to. As much as possible, stick to the ones that are related to your niche.
Remember that you want to build your presence throughout the site. So the more threads you comment on, the more chances you have of getting known by the members.
4. Join at least three forums
To make sure that you’re maximizing the potential of forum marketing, join at least three forums that you can use to market your MLM products to.
Make sure that the forums cater to your target market. You don’t want to generate the wrong leads for your MLM business.
MLM may be a number’s game. But it does require the right people.
5. Learn from other veteran members on the forum
Veteran forum members are most likely to get the highest amount of leads. They may even be consistently generating prospects from the forum.
Due to their success, they may even feel generous on sharing tips that help them catapult their business to success.
Take note of their tips and techniques so you can learn from them. You’ll never know the valuable information you can gain that will help you boost your MLM business.
These are just some of the sure-fire tips to help you find success in forum marketing. Why don’t you give it a try?
