What you should do to blend into the forum? Remember this...A...C...A. Answer...Comment...Ask. Look out for questions that need to be answered. If you are an expert on that topic, do answer politely and confidently. Most importantly, do have fun.

Some people need other people's opinion regarding their website, articles or views. Treat them with your comment and critique. Suggest for improvement, if not compliment. But not to bombard them with sarcastic remarks or the like. Just be polite.

If you are not an expert on any topic, then you ask questions. There must be a thing or two that you want to know more and clarify. Tap your keyboard, throw your question to the forum.

You too can ask for their opinion. Maybe about a new product in town and you want to know if others have any experience with it. Do you know that you have thousands of products in Clickbank to start with?

Also, you can ask about what they think about your article that you just publish in your blog. Ask them to critique. This is one way to have a handsome back link to your site.

Forum Marketing is one way to increase your traffic and to
build your opt-in list with no cost ever. There is some other no-cost promotion techniques that I will discuss in my future article. For now, try this Forum Marketing first and master it.
